Hi, it's ........(neighbour); Your grey horse is looking at me through my kitchen window.

Quick call to my MD who was on his way to a meeting with me (he knows the horses come first) to say off home. Thank goodness I go to nearest office to home on a Friday!

Irish boy looking very pleased with himself - had jumped 3'6" electric fencing, found his way around the back of neighbours old stables, through the gate (over?) into her garden. Ex-racer left shivering with anxiety alone in field.

Lovely neighbour had managed to entice Irish brute into another paddock in full view of nervous wreck TB using a bag of carrots by the time I got home.

Both fine and now in stables as it's absolutely chucking it down. To top it Le Lion is cancelled so no live XC on the laptop tomorrow.

Happy Friday everyone ;)
(working from home for rest of day)

Glad they are both ok and you got an early finish ;)

I had a call at work from neighbour of my field saying there was a loose coloured horse on the road by my field gate.. I have a coloured mare and foal but there are others in the area..

so I ask 'Is it mine?' - I work 25 miles away from home, to which she replied ' I don't know?' my reply ' well is mine still in the field?' :rolleyes:
her field runs adjacent to mine and is only 2 acres so pretty hard to miss a mare and foal

Turned out it belonged to the neighbour who lives opposite her who I managed to get in touch with - luckily they were home and all ended well :)
 
Lol welcome to my world!
I'm running out of fencing ideas for my lot, they've gone through P&R, stock, electric, Over a hedge, down a bank.
One of OH's mares can often be found looking through the kitchen window or waiting by the back door. The six of them decided to visit the neighbours two weeks ago and came home with a pet sheep :D ;)

Not big and not clever but incredibly :D:D
 
Not ideal when at work, but that really made me laugh. :D

OMG Pipkin, love the second pic, your horse looks so cheeky. Just showed my not very horsey OH and he just said 'how cool would that be'. :D
 
Pipkin those pictures are brilliant :D If my ponies lived at home that is exactly what my grey mare would be like, she always knows exactly where I am and if I appear in sight she will put her head up and watch me from the field quite a long way away!
 
I got a call last year that my grey sec a pony was out in field next door....panic starts setting in....then a minute latermy friend calls back...ignore that its a.white stag!
 
Many, many years ago we had packed one of our shetland stallions off on his journey to America. Eric Gillies picked him up to take him to Newmarket and he stayed at their yard over night. Eric's wife rather liked him so let him out in the garden for a while in the evening. She went away to do something for 10mins and went back into the kitchen to find said pony standing by the table munching the fresh loaf of bread she had just made!

She popped him back out and shut the door after that lol! Thakfully she didn't mind and found it highly amusing!
 
Not at current yard, but at her owners house, she used to open her stable door, open the kitchen door and try to walk in :), the kitchen wasn't big enough so she only ever got half way in :)
