In the traditional Navajo way of herding animals, the animals are allowed to wander around and the Navajo will check up on them in certain locations where the animals know to be. Very few people in Pinon have their animals behind a fence. This enables the animals to roam free.
As I was out for a drive I saw a horse laying in a ditch. The creature was motionless. As the car sped nearer to the beast, I marvelled at how such a healthy and strong looking animal could just be laying there in the ditch, dead. I wondered if some car had hit it since it didn't look as if it had been in bad shape in life. It didn't even look old.
The car came nearer and the dead horse heard it and sat up.
