Tonight, went to the yard after work as usual.
5.30pm, dismal, just stopped raining
Caught up the 2 fuzzies & tied them in the yard (novelty, as big fuzzy tends to play with ropes when outside & I usually pop them in stables for brush over & feet pick most days).
Thought I'd be fine as only whipping off a lw rug, brushing off & replacing rug & lobbing them back out again.

2 mins I hear you say?

Yeah.......

Got a call from a passing person who was asking about livery yards so popped to main gate to help out (as you do).

5 mins later whilst still chatting & having forgotten the fuzzies slightly, I hear feet approaching & turn round - to see little fuzzy loose & pottering to feed room.
Watching, I see little fuzzy open the door (not bolted as had only just grabbed waterproof coat from there) & then saw fuzzy stick head in & then emerges with a feed bucket in teeth!!:eek:
Plonks it out on the yard & sticks head back in again - neck disappearing too.
Now, sniggering at the affrontery, I can only watch as big fuzzy comes quietly down the concrete & picks up the empty feed bucket & waves it in teeth - whilst little fuzzy comes back out of feed room with another empty bucket! :eek:

Now, these 2 have NOT had any hard feed since spring, living off grass as little fuzzy OAP & is now retired, big fuzzy has enough zip & fat to keep going much of the time.

Little fuzzy has never untied itself, EVER.
Big fuzzy looked a tad embarrassed when shuffling down the yard, but gleeful when waving feed bucket around.
I wish I'd had a video camera going as just stood there giggling at them both.

They have pulled the right strings, so a handful of chop tomorrow with a teeny sprinkle of mix over it for flavouring eh?

Got to give in to HUGE hints like that! :D
 
So starved indeed..... if they tried to hid behind one of the huge oak trees I have you'd stil see the pair of blighters! :o

Little fuzzy has 'plenty' on for going into the winter & is still dieting, big fuzzy is about right for a grass kept hacker, tho needs to lose some before we go out for the 2nd half of the season's hunting

Memo to self, must not tie them out in yard again (or at least not big fuzzy unless supervised)

Bless them tho :D cheered me right up after a hectic office day :D
 
Welcome Sherbie :)

I got a very appreciative audience this morning as I produced 2 buckets - but you had to look hard to find the tiny mouthful at the bottom of each ;)
Happy Fuzzies tho :)
Made the wheelbarrow run round the paddock much easier at 6 in the dark this morning, as no little helpers as they were busy polishing & washing buckets & inhaling the scent of feeds to come :D
 
Brilliant! you have made me laugh!
My horse is half fuzzy - welsh part bred but clocking 15.3hh at 3yrs!
After his dinner he picks up the bucket and waves it at me over the door before dropping on the other side of the door on to the yard, I can hear him saying "Please sir, can I have some more"
LOL LOL
 
Great story!

My big lad used to remove other horses headcollars and stand looking innocent so I reckon you don't have to look too far for the culprit lol. 'Get the other chap in trouble' has always been his motto!
