lost coat

So Crown (my horse) came back with out his raincoat the other day. Hmm we said, where could it be? How did he get it off? Lets go for a ride today and see if we can find it. So over the hill and through the woods we went, expecting it to be caught on blackberry vines or a tree branch, but no luck. As we ride through the field it dawns on my where it is must be. We crest the hill in the field and look down at the valleyish low spot, where an old well used to be, where there is several inches of standing water.....yup, right in the middle, that's where he left his coat. Not totally submerged in water, but hey it's a raincoat so there are nice puddles inside the coat too. The front buckles were undone so I think he just rolled then shook it off his back end because the back buckles were still hooked. Hopefully we can salvage it, a new horse coat isn't in the budget!
Psst, this is what a horse rain coat looks like! Crownie's coat is green too....to bad they don't make them in purple!
