I forgot to watch the evening news regarding that horse that was

[schmuls]

walking down city streets. Does anyone know the details?

1. Makes you wonder if the owner couldn't afford to keep it anymore

and just turned it loose. A friend of mine says horse donations at the humane society are increasing.

2. not a deliberate release

though that is happening more and more these days, sad to say.

"A woman who goes to Marquette had her boyfriend drop her off at her place near 11th and Wells.

He had a horse in a trailer, and he then went from the campus to Beloit. He made it there, then realized his horse was gone. "

oops - someone forgot to check the latch on the trailer door. Thank goodness the poor thing didn't step out on the highway at 60 miles per hour. :scared:

Hi AllyCat! :hi:

Speaking of horses in the city, last fall my daughter took her horse to the Edgewood campus to have her friend take photos of the two of them. He got some really wonderful shots! :D (Ally, you can imagine the color of Cynthia's hair, and Barrister's color, with the gorgeous fall-colored trees on campus behind them... beautiful, beautiful!!!)
