Usually, when a horse finds herself out of their yard, they don't let themselves be caught, specially if they are not trained or anything (my horses were taught only basic manners and nothing else). I felt very touched because this one let me get her so happily and put a halter on
her.
When going back into the barn, she was so eager to return she was
nearly pulling the leash. Imagine walking a dog who is pulling the leash, but instead of a dog it is a horse :-) The good thing is this mare is very well behaved so she was pulling just enough to let me know she was eager
to go back but not enough to make it look ridiculous.

Why bother with the halter? Wouldn't your animal respond to
voice commands, or the sound of a bucket with grain inside?
My family had a horse. Just one. It was allowed to graze in
the fields with the other animals (goats, cows) ..but it
responded to voice when called.
Anyway, I walked into the horseyard and found one of the two was missing and that the horseyard gate was torn open. [...]

I forgot to ask about "torn open". Was the gate actually
dammaged? How did the breach occur?
