Ragworting and getting stung by a feckin wasp !! Unprovoked just crawled onto me and stuck its stinger into the soft bit of my arm :mad: It's still bleeping with pain at the moment 3 hours later :rolleyes:


Also small drama this morning and it [SUB]emphasises[/SUB] to those who tie straight to the fence why you should NOT do it. I had Tess tied up to bailing twine to the fence, happily grooming away when Dolly comes flat out cantering towards us tell her to slow down and she doesn't... didn't see the bailing twine and ran straight into it full pelt. So she strangles herself rears backwards luckily the bailing twine gives way so Tess pulls backwards and out of the way... she then comes down and lands on my toe .... Hence a lot of swearing before pootling off to eat her mums poo like nothing happened....

Had that of been the leadrope directly to the fence something more sinister could have happened. Funnily enough since then she hasn't gone under her mums neck ! ( she can hardly fit anyway)
 
I tied onto a wooden post and rail fence once, the horse spooked, and pulled the whole lot down. My mum never told me whether she was charged for it or not.
