    My husband travels to another plant a couple days a week that is 1 1/2 hours away. and on the way this morning he came upon some fog and he had to slam on his brakes because there was a horse in the middle of the road..Yes...a horse...he was about 20 feet away from it after he slammed on the brakes. He did go up the driveway of a farm to let them know that their horse was out...what next? I couldn't believe it...I bet he forgot to take a picture..but of course I think I would to when you are stopped on a road with fear of someone tail ending you or worse...

    I'm glad none of them were hurt, and I hope the farmer will fix his fencing properly.

    Why does stuff like that always seem to happen in the fog? In my tiny town I've encountered guinea hens, horses, and a multitude of chickens wandering downtown. Though, when I was a teenager, I was the one responsible for a pig getting loose in my hometown. And running into a hotel lobby. She won me a blue ribbon, though, once we got to the fair :)

    I usually find Turkey's and deer on the road and occasionally cows too. The joys of living in the country!
    Thank goodness he was able to stop! I know a girl who hit a horse on the road and she was seriously injured. The horse didn't make it :(
