Horsing Around–Chapter Forty Nine

The horses whinnied at me the other day and just like I predicted, they are ready to talk. The last time I saw them they were still reluctant to tell me about Chip and his whereabouts. They had mentioned a filly knew where he was but they thought the Amish had purchased her. Lazy, the one on the left, said she knew for sure the filly knew all about Chip. He also knew the Amish had her because she was in the lot across the road and he saw the whole thing. An Amish buggy showed up a daylight and the filly was tied on behind the buggy. Lazy said the reason she remembered it so well was because the stud pulling the buggy was quite muscular. She thought about jumping the fence to get a closer look but she was afraid she would end up having to work for a living. She liked the lazy life better than a roll in the hay. Crazy agreed with everything Lazy was saying. That is Crazy on the right. Hazy wasnÂ’t too trustful, so she is hiding behind them. If you look hard, you can see Grazy on the hill doing what he does best.

After visiting with them for quite a while, I knew the direction the Amish buggy went and so I started my search. There are not too many Amish in this area so all I had to do was follow the Road Apple Fritters. I couldn’t help but think of Owd Momma and EJ as I saw some fresh ones steaming in the road. Sure enough they led straight to a home where there were buggies and horses of all shapes and sizes. The house was dark, which was not unusual since they don’t have electricity. I like taking pictures there because you don’t have to clone out any lines. I walked down to the barn and started asking if there was a filly that had recently joined their herd. As luck would have it she was in one of the stalls. She was standing in the stall and from the light that was filtering through from the outside I could tell she didn’t care for being Amish. When I asked her about Chip, she started pawing at the floor and I swear I saw a spark in her eye. She said she knew him and knew where he was. When I asked her where, she said: “I will tell you, but there is a condition.” to be continued....................................
