Chagrined. It was getting dinnertime and didn't feel like cooking so I went out to a local Mexican restaurant for Polo en Mole - I am fussy about my Mole and these people do a good job of it.
Was opening the gates to drive off the farm and a large white shape streaked past. Fortunately, I had the presence of mind to slam the two gates closed before the brown shape was able to escape as well. Rocky is an Appaloosa/Morgan cross and a really sweet horse but sometimes he gets a hair up his butt and will take himself for an adventure.
The good news is that I still had Sam the Mule in the paddock and they are the best of buddies - Rocky just went over to my neighbors yard across the street. Had both of them gotten out, they would have trotted down the road for a couple miles - they have a couple places where they usually wind up.
It is amazing what you can get a horse to do when you have a handful of oats in a bucket...
Dinner was excellent!
