Kieran

Young Kieran gave us a scare this morning. He didn't come up for hay with the other boys. Bruce & I were out looking for him with flashlights. My first thought was that he had been struck by lightning but then I realilzed that it hadn't stormed since last night when he was present and accounted for. Bruce spotted his wide white blaze behind the back fence. Kieran had somehow gotten on the other side of the fence in the timber. Between the timber and the fence were a lot of brambles. Stomping my way through the brambles to put a halter on him and then try to lead him through the thorns was interesting to say the least. Bruce cut the fence so that we could get over it. We checked him over in the light from the flashlights and saw nothing amiss so we let him go to tell his buddies all about his ordeal.
