rescued our ponies

[AMW]

Just in from rescuing 4 of our ponies.
Fed them at 8am, field a little wet. 2 hours later someone comes to door to say burns round the field have burst their banks & field flooded! Went along and found their field like this ! Got lorry & manged to get them out, past our knees in water. Now in dry field at home thank goodness. Poor girls

ive just had to do the same - except i got a call saying it was a torrent through my field and the way it was rising id have about 10 mins im at home alone with my 4 month old baby! Thankfully after some drama I managed to lead them through the flooding , the river was flowing over the road and Im SO proud of them following me as it was deep! Thank goodness also for kindly neighbour who took my baby !

so glad you got yours home safe ok x

AMW where are you? We are South Aberdeenshire/North Angus

 

[Orchardbeck]

Wow! Our beck has backed up twice in two weeks due to the addition of drains further upstream from a new bypass nearby, and its the worst i've ever seen it, but yours takes some beating!

 

[AMW]

Neversaynever we are in same area as you

 

[Sprout]

Oh good grief, lucky you were able to move them so fast!

 

[AMW]

lucky it was my day off work, it hasnt stopped raining and the flooding is quite bad round here so goodness knows how it would have been when I got home at normal time. The biggest burn was on the verge of bursting and it will add a lot more water if and when it does

 

[NeverSayNever]

how funny! AMW and I have just figured out we live only a couple of miles apart!

its a small world
Apparently the field is now totally flooded and across the road
The OAP in the field is now in a cosy stable as she was really chittery and miserable, the 3 young mares are out in a dry field and none the worse although we were saving that field for more into the winter
