As the snow is slowly receding, we decided that it would be a great opportunity to take some pictures of the horses in the snow. The idea being that we could use a good one for our Christmas card this year....as it transpired the horses had a different plan.
Sue plaited up Deano's and out he went. The moment he stepped out of his stable, he clearly expected an audience, on he charged up to the school area, looking all around him, maybe for applause or flashing cameras? who knows what? he then proceeded to become irritated that he had to stand still and pose and did his level best to drag Sue around the district.
We then went on to photograph Transpique, he behaved with decorum, and listened to everything that Cody asked him. He is a really clever little horse, Cody has taught him a few bits and bobs to show on our Open Day, one of his tricks being to lay down, having just had a small tap on the fetlock. He was a bit unsure about all the white stuff, but obliged with great aplomb.
However, Mighty Mini and Pateley proceeded to let the whole show down. We only asked them to step into the post and rail field...just how scary was this? Minnie had a fit of mild hysterics as she stepped onto the snow and then proceeded to unship the intrepid Robbie in some sort of order. Pateley, was a little better behaved, but did treat Mikey to some spectacular twists and turns.
The Chrismas card picture will have to wait for another day. Having said that, none of us are in any rush for more snow.
