Because, it is just remotely possible that it won't think it is right ALL the time and maybe listen to me occasionally and not think I need 'saving' from a bit of black material *sigh*

Said saving did of course entail walking sideways, followed by walking backwards (unusual its normally an all 4 feet of the floor job!) ...... this of course would normally fine if there wasnt a somerset ditch just behind you :mad:

Pone was very lucky in that only one leg went in properly, the other just catching the edge so was able to drag himself (and me) back out again though I fancy I was a bit too close the road for comfort at one point. All four legs still attached (and he is normally a pansy about things so if he isnt waving one in the air he is likely fine ;) ) and continued our ride as we had only gone about 500yds by this point and seemed fine. Hopefully all 4 legs will still be attached tommorrow.

So am not sure if there was mention of cobs being intelligent on previous thread but this one isn't! ;) though I suppose it could be argued that he was smart enough to get himself straight back out again. I would like to think that he might have learnt from the experience ...... though he is already old enough to know better...... but I doubt it! :D
 
oh, dear.........
I have to add that my mare (Belgian warmblood), had a terrible habit of going down ditches backwards when she didnt want to go forward. so I know how awful it is...
its not a nice feeling, to be that out of control of 4 legs!!!!
I have no idea, cant offer any advice as to how to get them out of it either!
 
Oh tamba that sounds so familiar that sounds I also have begium WB mare who likes to go backwards down ditches luckily they are shallow round near me, but I now laugh at her as it seems to help me lol!!! Buggers arnt they!!!!
