LINCOLNTON, N.C. - Don't you just hate it when those punk kids
from the neighborhood make their way into your backyard and
dive into your swimming pool without asking? If this has ever
happened to you, then you can imagine how annoying it must have
been for Paul and Virginia Rhyne when they discovered their
neighbor's horse in their swimmin' hole. As the couple was
preparing breakfast on Sunday morning, their grandson and his
friends found Hickory, a 10-year-old Tennessee Walking Horse,
in the cold water. With firemen and about 50 volunteer rescuers
from the neighborhood, Hickory was lifted out of the pool. The
latest news on the wandering horse is that she is doing well
and in 'stable' condition.
