My 3yr old loves stuff like this and empties her buckets entirely by playing with them trying to get the apples!

Having said that, when she had an automatic waterer, that was like a toy in itself! She had hers turned off in the end, and was given buckets, because she spent most of her time emptying her drinker, letting it refill, then emptying it again - she flooded the yard several times

lol I do this for my boys at Christmas time, I give them their normal bucket of water and another bucket filled with water and apples.....my little lad cheats by drinking the water in the apple bucket then munching the apples, my big lad hasn't got the hang on cheating yet so it keeps him occupied for ages!

I also hide polos, carrots and treats in a pile of haylage on their floors in addition to their haynets :)

haha, how many people have said that! ;) The moustache is part of her character, she's quite a hairy mary in general to be honest, and as i said she's very fond of her moustache, i hated it at first and tried to get rid of it- it resulted in several broken headcollars and a very traumatised, moody horse :p i'v therefore learned to like it, it also makes her stand out wherever she goes which is nice, my girlie deserves to be appreciated :D:D

My little lad has a moustache exactly the same, it (the moustache) even has a name as it's big enough to be an entirely seperate entity (it's called Fred!). Everyone tells me to cut it off, but firstly he's very protective of his tache and wouldn't let anyone near it with scissors and secondly, I agree it's part of his character :)
