Guess Who Has Been Exploring Again?

[debris4spike]

Yes - last Sunday night as Toni was getting ready for bed she looked out of her window to see 5 horses in fields and one horse (guess who??) on a bank between 2 fields ... yes 5 foot up in the air!

He had already, along with Smudge got out of one field earlier that day, so he was in a temporary field while fencing was being repaired ... and now ... not only in the wrong place - but on top of a Cornish hedge - which is a dividing "wall" between fields.  He had got there through more electric fencing.

So Toni has now told him - next time she is going to just tie him to the mains cable - maybe that will slow down his escape route!!  Although I somehow doubt it - as even as a foal he was never in the field he was left in!!

So - needless to say, with all this travelling around he is fat again!  Yes - he can spot long grass at 50 paces ... but at twilight, with Toni in her pj's that wasn't something she wanted to know about!!

Anyway - I met up with Ros and Cherry today and we went to the forest again.  The flies were terrible - but it was a good ride - lots, as ever to chat about!

Once home DJ had to be rinsed down before having something to eat - and back to his "diet" field ... with a whisper in his ear that it would be a good idea if he stayed put!

Awwww... your mischievous DJ makes me want a horse :-)

I love hearing DJ stories.

You know... DJ should have his own books.
You could write some very sweet children's books with stories about DJ and his pals :-)

... That is not something I had ever thought about - or would ever dare to do. Only since I have been "with" LJ have I had the courage to scribble anything at all!! I had very bad experience of English education at school - with a teacher telling me that I was completely useless.

Thanks for the postive support though - that sentance has REALLY meant a lot to me.

Oh dear, perhaps you should have named him Houdini..lol
A book does sound like fun, I bet kids would love it...and don't take any notice of what teachers told you at school, mine also had a knack of making you feel inadequate, until I went to college and discovered otherwise.

Yes - he is Houdini! Even as a foal he was never in his own field - and then he would make his way to the gate, call his mother over, have a drink of milk and then off to explore again. Now - like the rest of us he is on a diet and hating it - so at least he actually has a reason to go walkabout!

They are great fun - but hard work ... However (most) of the time it is very rewarding!!
