Why did nobody warn me?

[JesterandPatch]

Tongue in cheek post, since my two mini bundles of fluff have arrived they have certainly kept me on my toes, have had a fair few what on earth have I done moments!
First week they got spooked by a loose dog on the footpath, went through the fence and spent a merry time hooning around in the maize.
Seem to want to manage to get a foot through the handle of the feed trug ( that issue now solved)
Latest escapade on arrival this morning was to find one had managed to get a foot stuck in the haynet, queue complete panic from me, luckily he was stood quiet as a lamb whilst I released him and no damage done, im so OCD in ensuring everything is tied correctly, out of reach of legs etc but he still did it,have now changed to smaller hoof proof nets.
Feels like I constantly need to be 20 steps ahead of these guys predicting the next antics.
Other than that they are the most loving, adorable bundles of fluff ever.
Attached photo is Rowan after his vet visit, jabs and worming, followed by farrier, he was exhausted

I generally find the small the equine, the more you have to be ahead of the game with them

My friend has a herd of Shetlands and I honestly don't know how she's still sane - don't get me wrong they're absolutely adorable and great to cuddle with (they're therapy ponies and go into hospitals etc), but they don't half cause total carnage if they put their minds to it!

I remember one story that she was telling me involved a mass escape of 7 out of the 12 Shetlands, a herd of sheep, several broken fence posts and 2 children I was exhausted by the end of the story, but she brushed it off so casually - I do think she is slightly mad which helps with the coping bless her

Testament to her training though, her Shetlands are impeccably behaved when doing hospital visits etc - it's just at home they are little adorable fluffballs of terror

Ahh but I bet they've made you laugh loads more times than they've made your eyes roll . I hate to say it, but they don't improve as they age either!. I wouldn't be without my two though, and can see myself with a couple more eventually.

Totally, and despite the antics I still want one in every colour ! I've just popped round to give them both a good groom, as soon as I finished both went straight off and rolled in the woodchip, now look like they have been dragged through a hedge, I give up !
