Okay, so a whole day has passed and the two men have not returned my good winter horse blanket or the cooler I lent them to keep their traumatized horse warm while they walked home. Now I'm totally questioning my judgment. Maybe I should have made them keep the horse in my barn, where I could have looked after him, maybe even called the vet and gotten him some care. Or maybe I should have made them haul the horse home in my trailer. They were in such a hurry to get the horse out of the ditch, Scot is now wondering if they were fleeing something or stealing, or just illegal and scared to meet the sheriff who we called right away (as we normally do when a horse falls in the ditch). Whatever the case, I'm sickly worried about the horse, and want my blanket back only so I can ask them what happened.
