BANGOR - In a strange sequence of events Monday, Kurt Smith, owner of Essex Stud Arabians boarding and breeding facility, discovered that 2-month-old foal Matinicus Rock had fallen into a 12-foot-deep abandoned well.

No, Lassie didn’t come running to inform him of the accident — but close.

Smith was working in the yard around 10:30 a.m. when his border collie, Molly, came running and barking.

"She baby-sits the baby horse and looks right after her," Smith said.

The foal’s mother, Czarah, was in the field whinnying and obviously upset, Smith said.

1. This is why collies suck...

Any pony dumb enough to fall in a well should be left to die. Fucking busybody collies... "Oh! Look at me! I have long fur and I can bark!" Assholes.

2. We need amphibious pit bulls we can throw down in wells to finish off dumb ponies and kids

6. Sure... go ahead and laugh.

I've seen wells. Any pony that managed to fold up his legs and dive head-first down a well is clearly suicidal.

Wells are narrow... ponies are wide. If you ever look down in your well and see a pony, I guarantee you he's there on purpose.
