HORSES

I didn't expect to see four wandering horses while at the Griffin Family Reunion in Farr West yesterday, but that's what we saw.

In and of itself, watching the loose horses was only mildly interesting. More interesting was watching the growing crowd of people who gathered to help corral them (I didn't help because, clearly, as the crowd grew, they had enough people, and the only thing I knew about horses at the time was that there were four loose and running on the road nearby).

First, they wandered up to a house where someone popped out with a little dog and shooed them away. Then, one by one, three men arrived, ostensibly to corral the horses, or they could have been just wandering by.

Then an older couple arrived in a truck and pulled into the driveway of the house where the horses has scurried into the back yard. I had no idea if they were there to help, or were just going to find a surprise.

Then -- no kidding - four motorcyclists, three with riders, pulled up. They parked at the same house and all began a merry chase, first capturing one horse, then two in rapid succession, but then fighting mightily to corral the last horse, who I pegged as the ringleader.
