Thunder in the Mist

Recently we opened up new pasture for the horses. The second day we turned them out on it I had to coax them along and show them where to go.
After grain I called them out of the paddock and had them follow me to the path that led to their new green dream land. We neared the opening to the path and they suddenly realized where they were going. Their ears perked up and they excitedly trotted off for a day of munching.
It was very early in the morning and had rained most of the night. The air was crisp and the mist enveloped everything. I couldn't see them anymore in the fog and knowing they had found their way I turned to go back to the house. I got just a few steps away when I heard the Thunder. They were in a full gallop heading to the open pasture. I couldn't see them but I could hear their hooves pound the earth and could just picture their heads and tails high, ears perked, nostrils flaring, mane flowing, taken to the wind. I stopped and was waiting and watching for them to make the clearing on the top of the hill where the fog parted and then there they were, just as I had pictured them. Snorting and prancing for just a moment then they settled in to eat the tender wet grass.
As I turned to go home all was quiet again. Not a sound except for an occassional early bird song and the tree frogs. I also heard 3 distinctive snorts of contentment.
