so, today, i brought gold out to pasture, then went to check up on sunny. 5 mins later, i received a text from river that gold had taken advantage of a slightly broken fence and escaped. i quickly tacked up maple and grabbed a halter and lead rope and set off in the general direction of where river said he headed. about a kilometer or two, i saw him, and managed to put the halter on him and led him back to the stables. currently, all horses are in the barn, and will stay there until the fence has been fixed.
