So we thought we would get the gert big dumpling down from the field for a little play as we are awaiting a call from the hospital to call my little girl in for an operation on her elbow, best to handle Freddie now as may be a few days neglect for him, anywayyyyy he happily bumbles down from the field leaving his companion, down into the yard and OH thought he would do 10 mins yielding, stops starts etc.

:D So down he comes all happy and calm, steps into our training paddock and suddenly spots some bullocks across the lane peering at him through the gateway, Freddie grew to 17hh and snorted, then rearer and tried to pull free, OH was very fast and pulled his head around, well he then pranced, snorted and leapt, he was soooo funny, so we decided to give him a feed and pop him up as he was sooo loopy, he managed about half of his grub, but had to keep checking the killer cows weren't coming from him, poor boy was beside himself! I think this was the first cow he has ever seen! God help us when we have to walk him past that field!!!!:eek::D
 
Hi. Poor Freddie and the killer cows! We had an eventful hack today. Met a killer bin, horse and cart (not good), 5 cyclists, a motorbike, another horse, barking dogs and a tractor and trailer! Not bad for an hours hack :)
 
Horse and cart is the only thing Saffy has ever been scared of, we went in a gateway Holly was terrified but the people were lovely. Holly wouldn't let the tractor and trailer go past, in future I will block her in a gateway with Saffy nearest the road. Can't believe how much we met on such a short ride!
 
Oh bless him, net you could have got a nice picture of him. :p I don't blame him though some cows are evil!

On my last ride with Andy we were going through a field of cows that is a regularly used bridlepath and about 10 cows starting walking towards him he went nuts and I came off then about 50 cows charged us, I jumped over the fence and he legged it. He was being chased for 15mins as I couldn't get in the field to get him so just held the gate calling his name. Bloody things!
 
This happened to me & Trev. Usually we mooch thru the field & they ignore us, but these were new babies & mobbed him, & the more nuts *he* went, the more nuts *they* went! He went absolutely berserk, backed into a barbed wire fence, tried to run off... I jumped off, hoping to lead him, but he pulled away & galloped off, pursued by all the bullocks.

He galloped about for ages, then went through to the next field, so I shut the gate to keep them away from him, then he did laps of that field too for a bit. Finally, he stopped, v lathered up, & I got back on & we hacked home as if nothing had happened. Luckily I hack in a martingale, which stopped him tripping over his reins, & o/h was with me on his bike, so it wasn't as awful as it could have been.

We're not going thru any more fields of cows!
 
We rode down the side of a field with some bullocks in. Not the first time me and King have been rushed by cows, lucky both times they were on the other side of the fence :)

The last time King did think about legging it as the bullocks did about three laps of their field, bucking like horses and snorting. So glad they were in the field next to the bridle path and not in the field where the bridle path runs :D
