Here is a story from the past,
The year was roughly 2010. It was in February on a Sunday evening just before dark. The roads were slightly covered with a thin layer of snow and the Saddleback Ski traffic was flying past the farm with not much break between each vehicle. And then all hell broke loose on the farm. We were letting Nestor and Ginger up from there pasture leading them up to the barn for the night,
Ginger was behind Nestor and she somehow broke free of Kenya who was leading her up and she started running towards the barn and then Nestor got away from me and he chased her and they didn’t stop at the barn. They didn’t stop until they reached Christys market, straight down the middle of Route 27! How nobody got killed or in an accident I’ll never know.
I chased after them for as far as I could and a car picked me up and we stayed on their heels until they reached Christy’s market.
I gathered up the two horses with a police es**rt back to the farm, and I vowed that I would never put them in a pasture together again,
20 something years later in their retirement years they are headed out to North Haven Island in two weeks where they need to live together, so I’m getting brave and starting to turn them out together at the farm again. one of those stories that will sure make the pages of my culinary memoir.
