Got to the yard. Theres a new pony in the little fenced off bit in our field. So I went and caught Roo and Bramble (she wears a headcollar because without it you can't get near her). Got near the fenced off bit, because its right near the gate out.
The other two horses in the main field Syd (the leader of them who keeps running into that fence) and Spirit (old boy, just copies others) charged at us, Syd slammed the breaks on just before hitting the fence as its electric, new pony reared onto the fence, and broke it. Therefore Roo and Bramble spooked and I couldn't keep hold. Went and unclipped Roos leadrope so I could go sort Bramble out. Couldnt get near her, I was so scared because of the leadrope attatched to her. Luckily she broke it when she stood on it, so I just left her to it and took the leadrope out. After riding Roo, she had calmed down so I went to unclip the clip that was still attatched to headcollar. I then had to take the headcollar off, because its rubbed her cheekbone and all under her head, theres no hair left, and it looks like a huge graze. So now I won't be able to catch her for a long time
