I have a new fence so I need to take down the old temporary electric fence before the gales get it.
So, obviously, I had to talk to the ponies instead because lugging fence poles and trying to wind-up unhelpful electric string is boring.
My electric fence was almost put away and I wanted to sit down to recover from all that strenuous effort. It was hard work and I am easily distracted.
Tiddles came up for a chat.
And Pepper went off to chat too.
I have no idea why she does it, but Pepper likes to say hello and then sit down in front of her pony of choice.
I did ask her. She even sits oddly. A strange little girl.
And this has to be my most favourite photo of the day.
I wonder what the ponies think when Pepper does this. In fairness, they never bite or stamp on her (it was known with BeAnne, thank you Albie – to the point where I could not take her into the field because she became increasingly deaf, blind and slow, she stood no chance and could not escape fast enough).
But sitting down and making folk like her, no matter what, is Pepper’s thing. She refuses to accept anything else.
