I returned to the yard this afternoon to turn out horses which had come in for the day. When I got to the yard gate at the top of the drive I saw my 5 year old standing in the middle of the yard (when I had left him in the stable) looking very pleased with his little self.
On inspecting his stable I realised that it was more than likely that I hadn't put his kick bolt on properly (tends to stick a bit) so he had just undone his top bolt and gone for a wander and although this was fairly clever of him - I know it is not an uncommon trick for some horses, so I didn't really think anything of it. This was until I went to turn out the other horses and realised that he had gone round and undone all the top bolts on the stables which had horses in. He was clearly planning a bit escape party but luckily couldn't work out the kick bolt.
It was just really funny that he had only undone the bolts on the 4 stables (out of 8) which had horses in.
He is definitely a major character he does something amusing most days (amusing but generally very time consuming and if your in hurry very annoying) but I love him to pieces for it.
Ive added a few pics of him not really relevant to story but I know I like to see piccys.
One in the middle with his eyes closed lol
Please ignore my position - first show as a 4yr old
Field fun
Sorry I know really not that relevant to post but I have recently discovered photo upload so get a bit carried away(haven't quite worked out how to get them the same size though)
