Talk about an instant panic attack!!! In the end I found him in a different horse's stall (the person feeding was new and confused him for another horse when she brought him in).<br /><br /><br />It does happen that people forget to properly latch their stalls, I can say this because I accidentally let Prince out once when I failed to latch his stall correctly. And one year at a horse show we arrived to find a random horse munching on our hay. The horse had apparently slide it's door open since its stall wasn't latched right either. This was at the Kentucky Horse Park so the people who own that horse are realllyyyyy lucky that horse stuck around instead of taking off across the cross country fields!Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09066327510880156537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7503414269772613959.post-86542511612496742042011-12-07T13:15:52.738-05:002011-12-07T13:15:52.738-05:00I know I closed her stall door the night before. I...I know I closed her stall door the night before. I don't think she could have opened it, unless it was left unlatched. In theory she could have slid it open but if it was latched, there would be no way she could open it.<br /><br />The fields are unfenced in the front of the property so even if there was a gate across the driveway, the horse could go around it and through the fields to get out the front.Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08707037151404133158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7503414269772613959.post-37110155387797553992011-12-07T13:15:28.403-05:002011-12-07T13:15:28.403-05:00Oh gosh, I would have had a heart-attack.
Do you ...Oh gosh, I would have had a heart-attack.<br /> Do you think that maybe she was like rubbing her head on the door and somehow unlatched it and it was only open a little, so she didn't notice it and went back to eating and it opened more and she just didn't notice. I hope that you find out how it happened. Glad Lucy is okay.<br />NeighgirlNeighGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01079444902318990074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7503414269772613959.post-24907270932535110652011-12-07T10:27:14.502-05:002011-12-07T10:27:14.502-05:00Ahhh!!!

I understand completely, when I go out to the paddocks every morning I do a head count..and if that number is wrong I completely go into panic mode. Would if be possible for the barn owner to maybe put up a gate going into the barn area, so if the horses were to get out of their stalls at night they would not hit the highway area?Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02859530425645126987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7503414269772613959.post-39819844159454639252011-12-07T06:30:13.134-05:002011-12-07T06:30:13.134-05:00Scary!!!

The scariest day ever was when two of our geldings made an escape from their pasture and took off into the road. We caught them without injury to them or the drivers, but I was holding my breath the whole time!<br /><br />I wonder what really happened with her door...Marehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16127842562111344534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7503414269772613959.post-17938369171162661392011-12-07T03:05:13.681-05:002011-12-07T03:05:13.681-05:00Is it possible that your barn owner accidently did...Is it possible that your barn owner accidently didn't close the door properly? I don't know how your stalls work but maybe she didn't latch it properly and Lucy managed to bump into it and open it. <br /><br />That would be so terrifying. That's wherre a front gate or even a cattle guard is helpful, to keep the horses from wandering out to the road.Cjayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16768186691473461646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7503414269772613959.post-80582257022253467592011-12-07T00:48:32.174-05:002011-12-07T00:48:32.174-05:00Now that's scary!

But, just in case... we have a concrete cattle gap. It would be nothing for him to jump it but it is a little extra security. <br />So glad she was still in there being a good pony!Molly @ View From a Saddlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10568479820314557959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7503414269772613959.post-61268409372316138382011-12-06T22:35:51.382-05:002011-12-06T22:35:51.382-05:00Um...yikes.
