Three little Shetland ponies have been busy.
Oh, yes. I found this terrible example of their nibblings when I opened up in this morning. I was not happy.
So OH and I put up some sheep hurdles in front of the wooden bars and sprayed some crib stop which I swear Storm actually likes (little sod!) I was playing nice but if they go on like this, I will cook up my chilli/fairy liquid (washing up liquid) concoction which is guaranteed to stop the nibblings.
But, for now, I hope the hurdles will keep them away from trying to gnaw their way out to freedom.
Bloody chipmunks. They never stop and they are not sorry!
Not to make light of the Chippie Chipmuncking, but these are quite possibly the cutest photos you’ve ever taken!
Those little faces!!! (They look completely unrepentant btw )
Little bar-stewards! they are awful.
Those faces! Surely they can do no wrong. Adorable.
Look at those faces! So darn cute, but naughty!
They are so cute! Frances, have you thought of putting a log or two in the arena with the ponies? It would give them something to chew without feeling guilty – not that they exactly look guilty!
Worried about splinters not we have no trees!
We do have willow branches. Might OH if I can do some cutting.
These faces are innocent I tell you! It was…um.. the sheep, yeah that’s who did this! Or so says this trio.
You know a lot about ponies and I don’t but I am wondering whether they are bored in the school. I’ve found this website with ideas for entertaining them:
