Any size net will do. Just fill it with hay and watch 'em come running!

Now then, lets not try this all at once, we don't want to cause a thundering tremor to ripple through the shires.

We shall have spooked thoroughbreds and other skittish breeds running all over the shop. They'll all have broken legs and be all skinny in an instant with the stress!

Erm....there have been two earthquakes in Kent since I ( and the cobs) have lived here.

They make a fabulous job of polishing off all the festive leftovers.

�� Orca is on a diet. She doesn't agree with her diet (of course), so we found her in her sand school turnout the other day, nostril deep in water, as she tried to nibble the only blades of grass there - which happened to be at the bottom of a sizeable puddle.

I had to bring her in when she went on to eat the trees beside the school (until I've identified them at least!). One looked like hawthorn. Even evil little prongs of death won't keep her from something edible (or inedible. It doesn't really seem to matter).

TB's can do that too.

But TBs nibble at hedges in a polite, refined, selective sort of way. It takes a cob to do a proper trimming job.

More like this, no need to pay a tree surgeon to thin out your trees when you have a cob :D!!

Indeed. She wasn't nibbling genteelly. There were no leaves. She was chomping actual (thorn laden) branches.

Fortunately, she appears to have a constitution capable of digesting all she consumes!

There's nothing selective or refined about my TB's appetite he's an elegant dustbin .

You have not met the two uncouth tb's in my yard, one has the appetite and habits of a native pony, both roll in the muddiest place possible, my cob was positively refined in comparison as are most of the ponies, my ISH is picky, polite, refined and selective in his eating habits.
