Not been very well for a couple of days, so it was with a bit of a :-( face that I started bringing P in, as from last night, but this morning I had to grin. Ive just acquired a large metal trunk that goes in his stable for me to keep some of his bit and pieces in, and as it was new, a few hours after I popped him in, OH went back up to check all was ok - P doesn't like beig in particularly, but OH came back with the report that although he was a little unsettled, the door was still on his hinges, so all was ok! I went up this mornig around 0830, and OMG. The trunk was in the middle of the stable (its a git to move and was well secured. It was empty. He had put his stable lick INSIDE it (bear in mind it's chest high to me WITH a spring loaded lid - the trunk is approx 7ft long and 1.5ft wide). He's pulled all the road that was hanging about 8ft UP the wall that we use to dry his rugs on. His headcollar had vanished fro the outside of his door and was in the middle of the yard, leadrope removed, took me 10min to find that, buried under his banks and the clip was broken off. The 4x6 planks which are dropped into brackets as a back up to the door (can you tell he's broken out before) were both at the back of his stable standing in his water, and the brackets were still closed!. I just calle dhim a few nice names and popped him into the field, where he sauntered off whistlig to the water, then decided to turn and run as fast as his fat legs could. Except it was muddy. He managed 4 full strides of canter on the spot digging a trench in the process before he fell face first in the mud, got up and sulked off muttering. I got alot of pleasure out of his embarrassment. His stable took a long time to sort this morning....! Anyone want a very handsome, but pesky friesian x shire??
