I told Mr. Sunshine that he should grab Dakota as he might take off.  Janine’s horse too, was pulling back.  She had gotten up, grabbed Dakota, then, went to pull her reins from the rock.  She had dropped Dakota’s reins and I didn’t see a reason to grab them again.  In about 2 seconds flat, Dakota started galloping across the grassy hills.  Aero followed, hobbled!  They were about a half mile away when they stopped.  Paul walked after them and Janine rode her horse.  Two of the oncoming riders diverted from their group and also went after Aero and Dakota.  I stayed on top the mountain to guard the food and secretly smiling at the ordeal.  It was a beautiful sight to see the steeds running across the grassy hills.  I knew they couldn’t go anywhere as it was a ranch that was fenced, with gates on either side where the PCT passes through.  We had our fun for the day.  Mr. Sunshine rode Aero back while Janine ponied Dakota.  We then finished our lunch and had a nice chat.
