Mobbed

The horses haven't been turned out in the big pasture for a few days.  It has just been too wet and mucky.  They have a good sized "sacrifice" area, but it, too, is so muddy that they choose to just hang out in the small, dry area.

This leads to a lot of bored horses who appear glad for a diversion when their favorite human shows up to do chores.

"We have you surrounded.  Release the peppermints and no one gets hurt."

"What's that little flashing box?  Can we eat it?"
