We just brought the horses in. As I was opening Flynn's box, the biggest rat in Ireland came out and whipped around my ankles pursued by the JRT. I screamed the place down and added a whole new routine to Riverdance, culminating in a leap onto my mounting chair at the end of the yard. The horses were watching and didn't react whatsoever, simply lumping past me to their boxes. OMG!

Kanga, we have an Irish hunter (he is out on loan for the season) he is fine in traffic, even large plant and artics can pass him. He does not bat an eye when the helicopter lands over the road from his old yard. However, one thing terrifies him..... he is scared of tinsel.

I don't blame him. Bloomin' blingy stuff. My husband is still chuckling to himself... rotter.

Kanga, you should try and get him past a beer tent!! Although he is now 8 years old, he was bottle reared and they used a large Bells Whiskey bottle.. When he sees one he stamps his feet and wants a drink!!

Made me laugh!!!! I remember, years ago, being attacked by a daddy long legs (my biggest phobia) - I was in the kitchen, and this bloomin' thing was circling above my head, getting lower and closer, and following me as I backed away. I started screaming and swearing (very loudly) and my OH legged it in from the other room thinking I was being attacked by an intruder. Well I WAS!!!!!!!! (He wasn't very sympathetic)

All I see now is Michael Flatley stomping about on stage trying to stamp on rats!
Is that why the clog dancing originated? in an attempt at vermin control.
Keep fit and vermin control all in one.....they use the soft shoes for flats and multi occupation buildings so as not to distrub the neighbours.

You should have seen my old African hand shaking dance when I discovered a slug in the rim of my feed bin. Eeeeeeukkkkk! Wringing my hands now even thinking about it.

A friend of mine put her hand around a rat's back reaching into a feed bag. 'You poor thing, says Kanga. A man also listening to the story said flatly 'imagine how the rat felt?'
