Although she will probably never read this, I just want to thank the lovely lady who was out jogging on Latchmore, and helped me catch my daughter's pony today.
My daughter was trotting along when suddenly a huge herd of deer that were lying hidden in the bracken, leapt to their feet all around her - her poor pony was terrified, and spun in tiny circles doing massive corkscrew bucks. My daughter managed to sit about 10, but then was so weak and dizzy she fell off, and her pony bolted in panic.
Once I could see she was ok, I had to chase after the pony on my bike - not easy as it was so wet and boggy. The lovely lady out jogging saw what was happening and offered to help, she raced off after the pony, ploughing through the mud and leaping ditches, I puffed along behind on my bike, and eventually she managed to get through some gorse bushes and get infront and stop the pony so we could catch him before he got to the road.
Anyway, this is just a HUGE, heartfelt thank you to the poor lady who got much more of a work out than she intended, and ended up covered in mud too!
Thankfully my daughter and her pony are ok - never a dull moment!!!!
