Not a bad life for a horse while the weather is warm enough. These horses in Montana, even in October, find that it’s still great to have wide open spaces in the sunshine, for  romping around on top of a field full of food.

But when the owner calls them to come home, it’s a treat to get a decent meal and a safe place to sleep for the night.

I listened in on the horses’ conversation:

Ready for another day on the range. Our owner said, “No horsing around now,” but we’ll do what we like. What would you do?

Whenever a vehicle stops by our gate, we line up and look as smart as we can. You never know when someone will point and say, “I’d like to have a better look at that one.”

While we wait for someone to buy us, we stand at the fence looking pretty — like girls in a beauty contest.

But shh!  No one needs to know that we’re full of beans. They’ll find out soon enough after they buy us.
