Freedom

Wahoo!   We TOLD that lady the grass was greener by the pond and so we finally had to prove it to her and knock down our fence so we could get to it.  It was SO much fun!  The nice grass was green and tall and then the lady showed up and we all ran and ran like we were wild Mustangs!  We wanted to make sure she had a chance to see how much we liked the grass and we certainly didn't want to leave it.  We ran up the hill and through the field and chased  each other all around.  Only little Perl and my mom Tudi were stuck back in the pasture -- the rest of us were FREE!  Then the lady came out with a little bucket with grain in it and Harley ran over to her.  We never get grain to eat, so he was happy that she brought it to him.  She put a halter on him and led him right around the small paddock.  Harley is our fearless leader, so we figured he must be going somewhere really fun, so most of us thundered after him and we were so surprised to discover that we inside the small paddock where Artie and Fusion usually live.  It was awful!  There was no nice grass. We were stuck eating Artie and Fusion's hay that the lady had put in there earlier, while the lady came and got each one of us and put us back our field.  Except for that feisty Fiesta  who said no way was she getting caught.  She didn't come into the small paddock when we ran in there, so she had plenty of grass to eat and she wasn't about to let any stupid halter get stuck on her head. The lady tried leading her friends and her mom Haylie into the barn, but she just watched them go by and laughed.  By the time we were back in our grassless field, the moon was really high.  The lady was fed up with Fiesta and told her she was going to get sick eating all that green grass.  I didn't believe her, but I guess Fiesta did, because she walked over to the gate and the lady opened it and she walked inside.  "Thank you Fiesta," she said.
