Picture the situation, you're sitting in work with 15 minutes until you can leave. You get a text. It's from your sharer.
Sharer - "Has Archie moved to a different field, I can't find him"
Me - "Yes he's moved to the small summer field (not worried in the slightest)
S - "I've been there, found the others but not him and Tom" (his mate)
Me - "He'll be down in the trees" (not worried, but a bit confused, he's always comes when he's called)
S -"I've been down there, can't find him"
Me - Have you gone into the little bit of trees on the side (getting a bit worried now)
S - "Yes wasn't there either"
Really starting to panic now, about to abandon my work and leg it to the farm even though I was 90 minutes late in yesterday and 30 today because of vet and farrier respectively. The phone beeps again.
S-" Panic over, he's just walked up behind me and head butted me on the bum, no idea where he came from I looked everywhere. Tom with him"
B****y horses, my pulse is only just slowing down again 10 minutes later. I didn't think he was missing, more that he was either stuck somewhere and couldn't get out; dead; or his foot had got much worse since this morning and he was in too much pain to move!
