And to give you a sense of size, look at the horse next to the bloke in the background. The foal was below knee height, about the size of a spaniel.

Balmer lawn hotel! quality you could train a monkey to ride one of them.

That really is very cute indeed.

[croaky sore throat] I’m a little horse you know [/croaky sore throat}

Pity some local hooligan has dumped a bike in the background 😉

That is rather cute.

muke – The bike’s not dumped, it is crashed. If you look closely you can see the ambulance car that they send out to follow me wherever I ride

😉

is it now the official maskot of the Big Bike Bash?

Cute – but piglets, and sometimes lambs, can be cuter!

We got chased by a pack of cute lambs yesterday. We stopped and turned round they scattered and ran away we carried on grinding our way up the bridleway and they came after us again we stopped they scattered this carried on all the way to the gate. We were alternately laughing and going AAAhhhh at the thought of being chased by a bunch of cute lambs.

Cute 8)

saw a foal being born last year in the new forest….

loads of little horses and donkeys around with one donkey hufffing and puffing.

as the foal was born this crazy donkey came over and started biting the new mother on the neck. me and some other bystander got a stick each and chased the bad donkey away.

alpin- that’s weird, ‘cos the same thing happened to me at the Wesh mt. zoo afew years ago.
A mother llama was giving birth and grunting, the other lama. presumably the father, came running over and starts biting and attacking the new mother. I ran like a mad woman to find a keeper, who seemed to get the other animal away.
Was really great though watching the baby trying to take it’s first wobbly steps.
