An "entertaining" hack...

So, I took my boys out hacking yesterday (OH is now riding my fat chestnut wonder-horse and I'm on the bonkers grey beast) and some kind farmer has stuck a load of baby cows in a neighbouring field.

Cows run over to say hello, both horses are a bit alarmed. Chestnut calms down quickly, decides to relieve his bladder since we've stopped. Grey horse's eyes are falling out of his head especially when the cows moo. OH makes mooing noise back at cows. Grey horse loses brain at this point. Cue, that static pose that you get on statues when the horse is rearing in an imposing awe-inspiring way. Except the rider is not confidently waving a sword, she is cursing cows/horses/men in general and is bracing herself for a prolonged hospital stay. Poor old chestnut was mid-pee but managed to chuck in a buck for good measure.

End result - Chestnut is now a bit anxious when he pees and is on constant cow-watch. I now moo at the grey every time I feed him which is totally mad, I know, and scares passers by a lot. Never a dull moment.

So, does anyone have a small but noisy cow I can borrow to get the boys used to them...?

Do they ever get used to them?! I have two elderly neds who will stand stock still, with eyes on stalks, at the meer whiff of a dreaded, fearsome, horse-eating cow!

that made me cry with laughter! especially where you said 'chuck in a buck for good measure'! My fred will do that too! Made me laugh it did!
 
I've got tears running down my face laughing at your post (and I'm in the office so thats NOT good!). Poor you, but god how funny!
 
cows are such fun and so bright!!!! - NOT - i had one jump down onto the lane in front of us - horse stood stock still for about 5 seconds then just acted like a jump jet - straight up in the air, i dont think he new which direction to leg it in!!! poor boy
 
No cow I'm afraid...however I do have an obese pony that sounds like a sheep when whinnying.....?

Poor chestnut mid-pee, I was nearly peeing MYSELF when I got to that bit!

Reminds me of Vogue the other day when we were out on a hack and an old man stepped out from behind a hedge...she stopped stock still and runny green poo ran from her back end....

Cue an old man asolutely convulsed with laughter, wheezing "She sh*t herself, I actually made her sh*t herself..."
 
Stop! Had to go to the ladies to compose myself after reading the follow on posts. Other people in the office think I have finally lost it - all they could hear was sort of snorts coming from my office as I desperately try not to laugh out loud. Right am going to go and do some work now
