The neigh-bours

Here is a digital layout of two of my next door neigh-bours - lol. There are two other older horses in this paddock plus a pet sheep.

Pony is a nice little shetland but suffers from "small horse syndrome" because every time I take a carrot or apple out to feed them, she shoos all the others away by kicking her back legs at them. She can be quite bossy.

Shay on the other hand is not quite 2 years old and was recently brought out of the bush into civilisation. She is a bit wary of people and traffic but has had her first taste of carrot and apple from me. She now lets me pat her and she is a darling.

The two horses that are missing from this photo are Major, a 15 year old gelding who is quite tall and gentle. Then there is "Hey You" - well that is the only name she is known by as she is now over 30 and never had a name. In order to get her attention, the new owner had to chase her around the paddock yelling (you guessed it) Hey You!

*sigh* I love living in the country.

Cheers
