*****lands, you've got to love them......haven't you?

Operation 'keep the ponies at home' has failed miserably 48 hours in.

Despite our garden being well fenced with a thick hawthorn hedge as well the shitlands got out tonight.

We spent an hour running round the paddock next to the house trying to catch them after they decided to join the neighbours horses for a hooly

I was wetting myself laughing when OH got fed up of the nicey nicey approach and ended up throwing himself on one of the little blighters, cowboy stylee! I really haven't seen anything as funny for a long time!

A friend arrived with a feed bucket and caught the other one and we decided to give up on operation 'keep the ponies at home' and took them back to the field!

Well, it whiled (sp) away an evening I suppose!

Now that was funny

hahahaha just keeping you on your toes!! love the thought of your OH wrestling one of the shetlands!!

 

[MrsElle]

It was very impressive, shitland was flying past him at full gallop, OH chose his moment and threw himself at said shitland, wrestling him to the ground while deftly putting on headcollar! I wish I had had a camera handy!

lol that made me giggle at the thought

 

[wellsat]

Lol, that would have been an absolutely classic video. Can you let the little beasties out again so OH can do a re-enactment?

Lol they are so much fun. Mine got out once alongside my youngster when was trotting my mare up for vet so vet had to tackle shetland to catch whilst i got youngster. Got to love them for it!

I second that!! Go on, dare ya!! lol

 

[MrsElle]

I second that!! Go on, dare ya!! lol

I really don't think my lungs or legs will cope with a re-enactment for a while yet! As well as trying to cath the little darlings we had to contend with neighbours two horses and pony who we had never met close up before, although we all know each other very well now!
