18th December, 2013 Rescue Missions

An interesting little jaunt around the country this morning with the panels in tow. First stop was to drop off enough panels to make a small pen for Sarah to tempt her new Shetland into pending the arrival of the vet. Good news is that a scan of the pony's microchip confirms that this time she has the right pony! Isla (right) is a full sister to Iggy on the left. The other good news is that she wasn't too difficult to catch either and,  once caught is happy with human company.


Then it was off to Longham to catch Brandee for the farrier to trim. Coincidentally another Shetland. Brandee has been consistently caught throughout the summer months but her confidence evaporates in the autumn with the falling leaves, creaking branches and blustery winds and I'm the only one who can catch her.
