Default Re: went looking for ducks and found horses!

There is nothing quite like a horse to calm the senses. Especially with children. These look like two ponies (under 14.2 hands high). I agree with shazzy about feeding ponies in a field. Owners don`t know what`s being fed to their ponies when they are turned out and some ponies can react to foods they are not normally fed. The odd piece of carrot would be okay or a slice of apple (not a whole apple), but steer clear of bread or anything else. And never feed cut grass as this ferments in the gut.

I also agree about barbed wire. It should be banned around stock animals. That`s up to the owners or the land owner to put that right though.

danni, you look very happy playing on that swing!

oh poor horses. unfortuently i cant do anything about the wire but we'll be carefull when we go to visit again that they dont get too close to it.
good to know that it wouldnt be good to feed them, we'll stick to petting and talking they were munching on the grass in the field.
josh loved them! no fear at all, he wanted to go inside the field to play with them lol.
and yes i did love the swing, havent been on one for years

lovely horses, i hate it when people use barbed wire for horses, if your going to use wire atleast use smooth stuff that isnt going to rip the horses to peices if they spook and run into it!

as for feeding them, if you really want to feed them, the best thing to do is pick a bit of grass (not pre cut grass) and offer them that, most people dont have a problem with that, i know i dont, and none of my horsey friends do or people whos horses i regularly walk past
dont offer them other things as they could actually be on a controlled diet
