Here’s a feel-good story for the day of gratitude. Lorelei, the two-foot-tall mini pony who went missing from Empire Hills Farm on Wednesday, Nov. 20, after the gate was accidentally left unlatched, was found safe on Sunday morning, Nov. 24, successfully wrangled on the second attempt by Brandon Morse and brought back home. Five other ponies were found and returned the day they escaped. Dozens of concerned citizens in Leelanau and Benzie Counties joined the effort to find Lorelei. In the end, however, it was fellow horses, and nature itself, that coaxed her to safety. The pony had just gone into heat and was attracted to the geldings, the male horses, who took part in the search for her.
