🐴❤️ A WILD MORNING IN HERALD — HORSES ON THE LOOSE! ❤️🐴
What a morning in Herald!
Earlier today, someone drove through a fence near Borden Road and Alta Mesa Road, leaving several horses and a pony loose and in need of help. Thank you Neisa for reporting it in Facebook.
Thankfully, the horses were safely corralled at Kelly’s property while everyone worked together to get the situation under control.
We headed out to help Kelly and the horses’ owner. The damaged fence was temporarily repaired, and a horse trailer arrived to transport the horses and their little pony companion safely back home. 🐎❤️
This is what small-town communities are all about — neighbors helping neighbors, especially when animals are involved!
A huge thank-you to Kelly for providing a safe place for the horses, to their owner, and to everyone who stepped up to help.
Kelly is such an amazing asset for the town of Herald with her vast experience with handling animals and showing up each and every time!
🚗⚠️ A FRIENDLY SAFETY REMINDER TO ALL DRIVERS:
Please slow down and stay alert when traveling our rural roads! Many properties have livestock close to the roadway, and one moment of distraction or speeding can have devastating consequences.
A damaged fence isn’t just a property issue — it can put horses, livestock, motorists, and nearby families in serious danger.
Please obey speed limits, avoid distractions, and always watch for animals. If you accidentally damage a fence, stop safely and report it immediately so animals don’t escape onto the road.
❤️ A little extra caution behind the wheel can save lives — both human and animal.
What could have been a dangerous situation ended with the animals safely on their way home.
Just another reminder of why our small-town community is so special. When something happens, neighbors show up for one another! ❤️
