Thought I'd start a single thread that I can update for when anyone needs a bit of small, silly and cute!

Today's adventure, a long rein to the local, where he promptly fell asleep at the bar....

Apparently this behaviour is only tolerated when you're small and fuzzy!

His first drive off the farm today, into the big wide world!

The traffic was absolute carnage, why are people such plonkers?!
He had one tiny squirt forwards as the nice massive lorry driver slowed down but whoooooshed his airbrakes right next to us, lots of cars too fast and close enough to tap with my whip, a rattly trailer, some cyclists and I lost count of the number of motorbikes (the majority very considerate, including the guy who pulled over to try and say something and couldn't get it out for giggling 😂)

And with all that, he didn't put a foot wrong! So pleased with him 🥰

Kept it short and sweet about a mile in walk, with a snack break half way.

I always wear hi viz and I know when I'm riding the more I have on the more it seems to back drivers off. I've ordered a banner with lights for the back of the cart, and I'm thinking maybe some sort of flag on the end of my whip I can hold out to give us more room, but any suggestions for things that will make us stand out gratefully recieved!

Last resort will probably be tying a load of helium balloons to him.... 😂

I won't tell him he has fans....
He already thinks rather highly of himself 😂
But he does make smiling rather irresistible and its fun to share the joy 🥰

Also open to suggestions on what adventures we can add to the list in future!
Next on my list is a trip to the beach, I think he needs the sea breeze flowing through his mane!

Not sure if it would work with a driving whip but you could try a Visiwhip flag? Link Or maybe one of the neon whip streamers you can buy?

Good thinking!
His presence was requested at the village fete earlier in the summer. He was fab but I was too busy worrying about the immaculately manicured lawn he'd been invited to snack on to get any photos! 🙈

He's the right shape and colour to be a pumpkin though! 😂

This thread reminds me of the Yorkshire Shepherdess buying a shetland at the fair and taking him home in the back of the landy!
He's scrumptious, you're making me Shetland broody OP!

At the risk of creating a stereotype...
Is this where I admit I can fit him in the back of my landy too? 😂

And that a serious conversation was had about needing another to make a nice pair 🙈
