I absolutely didn't lose an entire packet of biscuits to a bunch of horses last night...

They did! Poor starved creatures, whose only sustenance is a daily Hobnob

We got another one last year - the little grey roan spotty thing. He was rescued from a council estate in Dublin with one eye hanging out, which has now been removed, and he is a a dear little chap (as long as you don't annoy him!)

I'm surprised the teenies were still standing. They looked so weak from lack of biscuit.

One of them had just had an incident involving an electric fence that got in his way as well - he needed a biscuit to get over the sudden burst of speed needed to negotiate a live fence without getting fried!

My Arab's don't eat any sort of human food they think it's poison, my old mares would have Cadbury creme eggs at easter and loved lager and guiness, we used to ride to the tea hut and they happily munched a bag of crisps.

This is why the little stinker doesn't deserve biscuits. Shamelessly hanging out in the big boys paddock (which has more grass), then equally shamelessly galloping through the electric fence when he saw me come out of my house with said biscuits. He is a devil!

They obviously have a serious biscuit deficiency!
My mum trained all my horses to expect ginger biscuits. I stupidly introduced mr H to fig rolls the other day

Extremely polite. It's like a little tea party.

One of the most common symptoms of biscuit deprivation is uncontrollable rage. Shetties are so misunderstood, they're not naughty, angry little escapologists, they are ill, bless them. Aus did well to identify it early and stave it off.

Not content with the nightly biscuit run, and the current spell in the big field - they have now taken to shouting for hay when they see the others getting fed!
