Pony at Bull pot farm

[undergroundHP]

Have the RRCPC got a new mascot or does anybody know who this pony belongs to?
I couldn't see anyone around.

There’s a stables at Smithy House (one of the other houses on the road) and they regularly walk horses down the road to the Farm and back (and possibly onto the fell, I don’t know), so my guess is it’s something to do with them.

Hope you offered it a brew

Perhaps a French caving group is visiting and they have brought their own groceries.

We met her up at the farm. She had gone walkies by herself, and the Smithy House people were retrieving her. That was about 13:30. We then met her on the road walking back to BPF, with her owners tearing their hair out 200 metres further down the road.

We didn't wait to see the end of the saga.

I wondered if it might have been one of the famous Shetland Attack Ponies, as I've heard of them but never actually seen one.

I tried to make friends with it this morning, but it was having none of it. We did think riding it to county would have been nice, but weren't brave enough to try.

Nice to bump into whoever it was down county!

That was us! My first trip since having my fingers surgically straightened. I was actually able to crawl on my flat hand, rather than on my fist, for the first time on a few years.

That sounds like a solid improvement!

Let's hope she didn't head for Dead Dobbin Pot

Shetland attack ponies are smaller...

It doesn't live in the cottage, it's from next door. It's a Neigh-bour
