Unfortunately it sounds like Poncho has a mind to explore. Unfortunately this leaves her susceptible to all manner of concerns including snakes and cars. Keeping her restrained with a chain may be what is needed at this time, be sure she has plenty of fresh water and shade if she is restrained outside, and using a running chain rather than one attached to a fixed object can allow a bit more freedom. Regular walks and play with the family can help to calm the roaming urge, and encourage Poncho to stay more home-based. Keeping Poncho on a leash when you let her outside would be beneficial, and you may want to consider an invisible fence system for her too.
