Soooooo....

Picture yourself, if you will, walking to your horse's pasture to blanket him.  Its in the low 40's and 9:30 at night.  Assume the barn owner is sleeping so you don't want to wake him by shoutin your horses name, but, you don't wanna go lookin in the big dark pasture for your black horse.  So you proceed to kiss and whistle over and over again.  You wait a few seconds.........................

nothin.  So you kiss and whistle again this time quietly calling your horse's name once...............................

nothin.  So you kiss and whistle some more............

then, thanks to the help of a passing car's headlights you see a silouhette moving.  Is it moving away from you or toward you?  You can't tell so you take a tentative step forward.  Then you hear the steady rythym of a horse's hooves poundin on the ground.  It's cantering.  You can count the beats..........

1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3....

but wait........

somethins not right...it sounds like...there's more

sure enough....you hear more than one set of hooves.  They're gettin louder...Louder....LOUDER!!!!  WHERE ARE THEY COMIN FROM?????!!!!!!!!

Now you can see, and you see more than one sillouhette!  In fact you count 4!  Your mind is racin.  You have four horses all canterin towards you.  You remember you locked the gate behind you.  No fast way out...

they're gettin closer....what do you do!  try to unlock the gate?  No time....crawl through the fence what about the blanket?  They're almost on top of you!  You prepare to jump out of the way!  All of a sudden 3 of the 4 horse turn!  And your horse slides to a halt in front of you.  12 inches away, breathin heavy, and........

nuzzlin for his treat!

LOL!  Yep that was me tonight!  Scared the shit out of me!  LOL!  I got his blanket on him though at least!  LOL!  I need to invest in a flashlight.....
