But now I can see the humor in it.  at the time there wasn&#39;t any humor in it.<br /><br />i<br />my Mother calls at 6:30 saying &quot;Do you see the horse in my backyard?&quot;  and silly me asks her is it black or brown  <img src="http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/wacko.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wacko:" border="0" alt="wacko.gif" /> why, I have NO IDEA...but I did.  and she actually asks my Daddy what color the horse is&#33;&#33;&#33; then I say it doesn&#39;t matter it has to be Renegade, my friends horse.<br />I ask Momma if she has any apples or bananas? so I say give him some and i hear Daddy say...oh well, what he says I can&#39;t repeat here...he is  not going out there...I tell Rachael to run up there and get the bananas and get the horse&#33; LOL.  <br />In the mean time Rose is getting her shoes and coat on and more bananas and meeting Rachael as she is leading the horse down our driveway. And I am trying to get hold of SOMEBODY to help&#33; <br />I know my friends 13 yo daugter hasn&#39;t left for school yet so I am calling her, finally she answers the phone...tell her about the horse, she says &quot;I have been looking for him EVERYWHERE&quot;  well obviously not up here.  <img src="http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":laugh:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> between the 3 of them they manage to lure him almost home until my friends daughter&#39;s phone&#39;s ring&#33;  that spooks him and then  it gets harder.<br /><br />Many times the horse has gotten out and he comes up here...he knows I always keep bananas and apples.  Once I was here by myself and in order to keep him in my back woods I feed him an entire bag of Fugi apples...which isn&#39;t cheap BTW...(he wouldn&#39;t follow me he,  I already given him too many apples and when Jerry and my friend finally showed up he didn&#39;t want to follow them with grain and go back into the pasture because he was full&#33;<br />OH Well, I keep him for wondering off&#33;  <br />And as I say...Just another day in my neighborhood.  Wish I could go back to bed.<br /><br />HI to everybody<br /><br /><br /><br />
