Whoa, Nellie!

So there we were, driving down road toward Louisville today, when what to our wondering eyes should appear but a runaway horse! Actually, it was not the first one I’ve seen here, but it was the first one I’ve seen hooked to a sulky. Harness racing is not a big draw here. Luckily, the horse was running on a grassy area along the road, not down the middle of the highway. Right behind it came a truck with one person practically leaning out the door, apparently trying to catch it. This was one of those few rubbernecking delays that was worth it!

There was no sign of the horse when we came back a couple of hours later, so we’re taking that as a good sign.
