OMG! Got one of THOSE calls this morning!

The phone went this morning and the mother of the young girl who rides our pony said she had arrived at the field to find the horses in the yard and Teddy my eldest daughters cob eating sugar beet in the feedroom
I wasnt best pleased, hubby told her to not give them any hay, we arrived to find all 4 neds in the field WITH hay!
There was 3/4 of a bag of speedy beet and there still is so we think she caught him in time, he seems ok, they all do. We stayed there for a few hours and think they are ok, we are going back soon. We had visions of him having eaten the whole bag but by the looks of the mess on the floor he ate the alfa light not the beet.
We were terrified! dont know how they got in though, someone either let them in (some more uninvited people at the yard) or someone left both the yard gate and the feedroom doors open.

We do get alot of trouble with both theives and unwanted visiters, the field gate is padlocked but not the gate to the yard as our yard is at the back of our fields so is not near the road. I think we will have to start padlocking the yard gate as well, the horses can lift the loop of plastic on the yard gate so it also gets tied shut.
We dont want another fright like that!

Every time I read something like this, it makes me realise how lucky I am that my lot are outside the back door. I do hope He's ok. Linda

It must be lovely to have them at home. The yard is 4 miles away, it doesnt sound alot but it was a long way this morning!
