I Forgot the Carrots!

My turn to go and see my little herd of Shetland ponies in Sandness.

En route, I passed the hill ponies.

These are the ponies that will spend their winter on the scattald (hill grazing).

On arrival, I quickly realised I had forgotten something.

bn2a0864

I hardly dared tell them.

I was very tempted just to stay in the car and count legs but I had to take responsibility and own up.

bn2a0872

I had forgotten the carrots!

bn2a0876

“What?  Seriously?  You forgot?”

bn2a0878

And suddenly I was the most unpopular person there.

bn2a0886

I was surprised anyone wanted to talk to me, to be honest.

That was a look of steely determination from Waffle.  He wanted his carrots.

But, and I have said it before and I will say it again, everyone is fatty, fat, fat!  Yes, Vitamin, even you!

bn2a0893

So they walked off in disgust.

I managed a few snaps while I was there.

And I promised my little herd that tomorrow they can have double rations.

bn2a0902

“Double rations, you say?”

bn2a0882

“Just make sure you do”.

bn2a0884

Yes, Waffle, I promise.

bn2a0904

I drove home feeling guilty.

(Note-to-self, put a bag of carrots in the car for tomorrow’s visit or there will be trouble)

    Oh, I hope they’re a forgiving lot…what am I saying – I’m sure all will be forgiven/forgotten when they see those carrots! 😉
