Excellent...
I had a pony growing up. She was no. 2 in the chain of command so she got to roam around freely (my mother's horse was no. 1 and had to be tethered), and she was forever poking her big snout into the kitchen looking for handouts. And once she did indeed come clomping all the way in...Winter riding is much less about badassery and much more about bundle-uppery. - malkin

I had read another version of that article.
I thought the funniest part was when the patient did see the animal and exlaimed "that's not my horse!".

wow, my first thought was, now that's a bombproof horse!

Oddly, that reminds me of the time that my Dad, Grandpa and I were sitting out on the front porch watching my pony graze and discussing how she'd go through any gate just to see what's on the other side.
One thing led to another and pretty soon Bitty Babe was in the living room looking around with an "Oh, so this is the stable the people live in" look on her face. All was well until Grandma came boiling out of the kitchen demanding that the horse be removed from her living room. (Humph! She was a Shetland pony; we could have brought in a Quarter Horse...)
It was only on the way out that the screen door broke...
Odd, how all all my family stories tend to end with "... and, boy, did {female relative} get mad!"Give big space to the festive dog that make sport in the roadway. Avoid entanglement with your wheel spoke.

I also got a kick out of how it wasn't the patient's horse after all.
