Well, we have this miniature horse called Charlie, got him a few day ago. He has been behaving very well until yesterday!
I was in their joint stable (Maisie and Charlies) I hadnt bolted the door as I was literally just stepping inside and then getting out, Dearest Charlie "baring in mind he only stand at two feet tall" barges past me and tears up through the farmyard, little X*%$+?!! I thought! Ok, I thought, no worries as he was heading straight for his field where I was just about to take him anyway. The only problem was he didnt have his head collar on yet which may make it a little more difficult to catch him later on.
Later on.....
Dearest Charlie has now turned into a proper little git and would run off every time I approached him to to put his head collar on to take him back to his stable, I though a little bit of tact is is required, so I got some carrots (please bare in mind I know nothing about horses but learning fast) I thought I will get a length of rope in a loop and looped over my arm, I will coax dearest Charlie with the carrots and while he is munching a carrot that I'm holding on to, I will slip the rope up my arm and over his head.
This worked a treat, he was gnawing away on this carrot and I slipped the rope slowly up my arm and quickly slipped it over his head, Ha! got you! So I thought, the second dearest Charlie felt the rope touch his head, he took off, he bolted across the field with me hanging on with every morsel of strength, he runs a lot faster than me! then he decided to turn, I hung on, he then ran the opposite direction, yes I'm still holding on to this long rope, I'm now swinging full pelt in this very wide arc, my aged little legs haven't run this fast in many years but I held on, until! he decided to run down hill, (its a hill farm on the side of a mountain, the fields are very steep) I ran as fast as my stubby little legs would carry me until he changed direction again and again i'm swinging in this very wide arc, only this time im being flung down hill, well fortunately "I think" the rope came off Charlies head, I, however am still running like the wind down the side of a mountain field and couldn't stop until I reached the bottom, thankfully it leveled out and I didn't plough into a barbed wire fence,. I survived! I looked up to the top of the field and there she was, my dearest Carakeel, even from the very bottom of the field I could see her rocking with laughter!
Charlie then calmly followed Mazie back to his stable untethered where Carakeel placed the head collar over Charlies head.
I just cant help thinking "how many burgers a 28 inch horse would make"
Its a grand life!! :-)
