I had just put the youngsters haylage out when my phone (which I had just managed to wipe the mud off, from it falling out of my pocket!) rang. Sister was down in the village, going for breakfast with her OH, there was a loose horse out on the road, bombing up and down! Sister had high heels on, so not just able to do much with over excited horse. Leapt in the car, with halter and bucket, then leapt out again as the two year old cob nearly took the front of the stable out fighting with her neighbour :eek: Rushed the youngsters out then leapt back into the car. Arrived at the loose horse, to find sister stopping traffic, the owner of the horse/land was out and on this 'quiet' country road idiots were speeding past. Horse came straight to the bucket, put its head in the halter, owners dauughter and son IL turned up, took horse away to put it in a stable, although they were not sure it was theirs! So rather than listening to the Archers this morning, I was living it :D
 
Thats your excitment over for today then!!! Years back someone let some horses out of a field belonging to a riding school which was alongside an A road leading to a motorway junction about 200 yards from it. Luckily they went down a side road before it although it wasn't fun trying to round up 15 horses late at night. Thankfully there was hardly any traffic was about which made it easier. After that the gate was padlocked & no one found who'd undone the gate.
