A friend of mine bought a horse for her daughter.  Since neither her nor her daughter have any experience with horses, I suggested that the horse stay here until they felt more comfortable.

Cody is a coyote dun.  This means her coat is the color of a coyote, with a black stripe down her back and black on the tips of her ears.  She also has light zebra striping on her sides.  She is very pretty, but quite emotional.

She is the type of horse that will go with the crowd.  My horse Misty was giving me a hard time last week.  Cody thought that might be a good idea for her.  We have been working with her almost everyday to convince her of different.  My friend will be coming tomorrow to ride, so I thought it would be a good idea to put Cody in the round pen so that we did not have to chase her for over half an hour tomorrow.

All our other horses come to us when we call, but Cody has been quite standoffish.  She misses her filly (now 1.5 years old, but still her friend). 

This evening I got a sense that maybe I should go a check on Cody.  I went and she was fine.  I got the feeling again, but thought that I was just over reacting.  At about 10pm we get a knock on our door.  Our neighbor tells us that one of our horses is trotting down the road.  This is the same neighbor that told us Chouette had gotten out.  If only I could listen in on some of the phone calls that will occur tomorrow.  :)

I called Cody and she came.  I was very surprised, but relieved that I did not have to chase a horse in the dark.  She went close to the gate.  My husband, Peter, opened the gate and Cody trotted in.

Mental Note: Don't leave any more horses in the round pen overnight!!!
