I just saw a cartoon & it reminded me of this incident that happened some years ago.
I had tacked up Blondie & put her rug over her to keep her warm as it was a cold day, closed the loosebox door & went to have a wee before I took her out for a ride.
Got back to the stable opened the door & went behind her to take of her rug. Blondie shot out the door & down the drive with me after her & yelling ‘Blondie you forgot me!’. Blondie got just beyond the gate when she realised something wasn’t quite right, stopped in her tracks, turned & neighing at me as if it were my fault trotted back up the drive to me, she stood & let me mount her. Silly mare but she did come back.
Blondie.
