Well what a morning. On my way to work I stopped to help find a
lost horse his home. I was comming into Ashby center when I noticed
this fellow walking across the street. I thought I was dreaming
and then I thought who would be walking their horse at 5:50 a.m.
across the street. Know one was the poor bugger was by himself.
I pulled the car over and went to get him (thank goodness he had
a halter on). Wasn't sure what I was going to do and then another
person stopped to give assistance. Then another vehicle stopped
and went to a few places he knew who had horses. Well the first
man who stopped had a rope so we tied the old bugger to a tree and
luckily I had some horsey treats with me and found the owner. The
old guy had just escaped and decided to go for a walk (I found out
he is 30 years old). Well that made my day.

we had an old saddle bred gelding that would let himself out every
day to go a mile down the road to the neighbors wife to get his
daily apple. being in the country this was no problem and he would
come home by the dirt road when he was finished. this went on for
over 5 years until he died.

| 1027.3 | Ray used to visit. | THRSHR::DINGEE | This isn't a rehearsal, you know. | Wed Sep 13 1989 16:10 | 14 |
I used to board at my girlfriend's barn. One day she got a phone
call that one of her horses was in a woman's back yard, munching
on her lawn. Nancy went to get the horse, and it was my Ray-man.
The woman explained to Nancy that she'd been noticing fresh hoof
prints each day for over a week, but never saw the horse.
Apparently, Ray had been letting himself out through the fence in
the back of his field each day, dining on this woman's lawn, and
returning for feed/bed time each evening. Nice of him to come back
home...
