Ponies On The Drive...





What a performance we had this morning.. Our Drive down to the house is about 180 metres long and there is a grass verge all the way down. Decided to put the girls on there to eat off all the grass, well it saves mowing it. First off we blocked of the entrance into our drive with our cars, to stop the ponies getting out to the road. Opened the gate from the field and into the drive, which we thought would be the straight forward way to bring them down. But the Girls had other ideas, they didn't want to go that way and all run off in the other direction. So we shut the gates again moved the jeep across our entrance gate, just in case someone arrived while we were moving them. Which could have spelled disaster! I then got a scoop of food, walked up the field and managed after much bribery, to get them into the stable yard. From there it was through the gates round the back of the boot room and into the drive. Closing all the gates behind me. So what should have taken about 10 minutes, ended up taking nearly an hour. Once they've eaten off all the grass, have got to do the same thing in reverse.. Who's bright idea was that?...
