One of my little darlings (darty) has a wierd habit of putting his head in my horses feed bucket after H has finished his brakfast, lying down and rolling with his head still in the bucket?

At tea time when H isn't out with him he spreads a little of his food on the ground and rolls in that instead!

Strange i know but what had me gob smacked was yesterday morning, after rain from the day/night before had re-created the lake in the field and then had frozen over, my little darling, much to the dismay of the other two and the dog aswell as me, lay down in the foot deep frozen lake (i call in a lake as it is about 20 feet round) and rolled! When he got out literally dripping wet he had a little bronko moment on the spot then settled down to eat his hay!!!!! I only wish i had got my video comera!
 
Haha good one, i'll see how he feels about that! I'll have to try and video one of his episodes! Last time i worry about the little bugger not having rug on though! It would have taken a week to dry if he'd one on when he rolled in the icey lake! He's deff the strangest creature i have ever met, if think if he were a child he would have been diagnosed with ADHD!!!
