She scared me half to death today.
I went up after I finished baking to find Saffy with her head between to strands of barbed wire!
It's fenced off with electric so that they can't get to it but a certain foal has no respect for the electric fence so had pushed it right over to get her head into nextdoor's field. She whinnied at me but kept stood still while I was on the phone to dad trying to get him to bring wire cutters up then just got out by herself She trotted over to me 
and sniffed me then casually wandered off to nibble some grass. Phoned dad back and got him to buy a bale of haylage (they have one big bale left but it's a bit naff so they're not eating it 
) and while I waited I pulled the fence as far in as I possible could. Think we may have to move them into their summer grazing as soon as I can but we're waiting for the fencing to be fixed (neighbours cows ate it!) and I'm away this weekend so I can't help B move them. They've got the bale of haylage to keep them occupied for now and there is still grass but I'm getting worried a certain foal may do it again.
