Thanks, SRS. She is getting a treat, now, but tonight she went out with Rog when it was dark and wouldn't come in. He let her stay out, she was close to the door, then when we went back to get her, as I was upset at him for leaving her at night, she was nowhere to be found. He was tired, ready for a shower, put his shoes on and went looking whilst I called and called to no avail. I called Morgan's parents who came over, with him, and my SIL found her hiding between Rog's old caravan and panel van. She was scared. We all praised her and brought her in, I gave her a treat, but she still wanted to go back out. I think she must've been kept out a lot, though she is an absolute gem in the house. For now, if she goes in the backyard it will be on a long leash with one of us. The front yard is manageable without one and I can work on her coming out there. I've got a good book, I'll have to dig out, the Invisible Leash which has some excellent training suggestions. I suspect she got yelled at so much for chasing horses, she never wanted to come in. She is asleep on the floor beside me for now. AND in for the night.
