We were busy moving boulders on Saturday and then Colin and Dave turned up to rescue up for a cuppa.... thanks guys! In desperate need of a rest we just sat down when Hazel ran up from Little Toms, and shouted...You- hoooo! I thought odd she seems a bit out of breath and then I worried something was wrong with Harold... But thankfully not, It was our ponies they had escaped and were running down towards the road!... My back was killing me but no time to be in pain I sprinted down to the feed store while Pete went the other way to get to the road quicker and Colin and Dave followed me... Grabbed some nuts to get Storm back in, I was at the end of the drive when I caught sight of them... We were so lucky that Ron across the road was in and he jumped over his fence and stopped them from entering the main road and got them into Gabby's next door.... Meanwhile Colin parked his car across the entrance and I head collared Storm and got Studley to follow and securely put them back in the field.... That was close it could have been a very different out come if Ron hadn't stopped them in time.... So thanks everyone!.... When we stopped and thought how they got out it came back to Pete...funny that,,...hes at the route cause of all our nightmares!!!! He had unloaded the feed and left the gate open somehow....and when I let the ponies out I would have assumed all gates were shut so wouldn't have checked.... and then Laura said oh yeah I saw it open in the morning....but she just thought we were working in the field so didn't think to shut it.... What a nightmare!... Anyway back was quite loose after that exercise! mind you suffering today!!...We did finally get our cuppa, I bet people hate visiting us, they always get involved in something.... It usually happens when Mum and Dad visit, but they sneakily got away with it this time!!
