Beloved Horse With Tons of Spunk Celebrates His 40th Birthday

sign language that seems to work pretty good for us.
He headed to the barn at a dead gallop so I got in the truck and followed him. When I got there he was standing in his stall waiting for his overdue dinner. I locked him in and then started to panic about where my other horse Lillibet was. I called and called and couldnt find her. She ALWAYS comes when I call so I figured she has wandered off somewhere. Finally I looked in her stall and there she was. She was knee deep in new bedding had her blanket on and plenty of fresh hay. She had no intention of leaving that stall for anybody!
Seems that Whiskey had gotten tired of waiting for supper and decided to take matters into his own hands. He had unlocked and opened the gate and headed for the house. I fed them found a second hook for the gate and went home. Had to apologize to the dogs for yelling at them then it hit me at just what a stupid stunt I had just pulled! One slip and the horse could have slipped a leg through the steps broken a leg or been badly hurt and he would have landed on top of me! I did learn a lesson though Whiskeys
