I have always loved these little ponies. Many years ago, spent a few holidays on the top of the Cotswolds, there was a local farmer who bred them. At the back of the field they were kept in, was the start of a large beech wood, a few times, when I was doing an evening walk with a rather large Irish Wolf Hound, I caught a glimpse of a badger walking around on the outskirts of the wood. Your picture brought back some happy days.

Hi, Are these animals near to where you live? Its good to see just one but so many of them getting on with their lives is such a pleasure to see. If they were near me I'd want to see them every day! You always manage yo take a photo that lifts my spirit. Thank you.

[Blackbird6 in reply to RoadRunner44]

Hi RR yes they are very local to me free roaming cattle donkeys ponies shelties .deer ..I see them daily as I'm a self employed dog walker so use the forest and beaches which are within 10 mins walk to where I live . And your so welcome I'm glad that you enjoy them as much as you do 💞💞💞

[RoadRunner44 in reply to Blackbird6]

What a lovely job you have. Walking in your area would be something I would appreciate as much as you obviously do. Chrys

[Blackbird6 in reply to RoadRunner44]

Love it totally can be hectic sometimes and not all dogs behave as they should but hey ho 😂😂😂💞💞

[HungryHufflepuff]

That's just lovely 😊🐴

[Blackbird6 in reply to HungryHufflepuff]

HH they are sweet but cheeky 💞

[HungryHufflepuff in reply to Blackbird6]

How so? Do they come up to you for a chat and hoped-for snacks? 💞💕

[Blackbird6 in reply to HungryHufflepuff]

Locals dont feed them its tourists that think it's okay to feed them and it's not these are wild shelties with free roaming on the forest but they get used to being fed and start to follow ppl around they will nip if given a chance lol 💞💞💞

[HungryHufflepuff in reply to Blackbird6]

Nipping is definitely cheeky! I talk to cows and sheep I pass when out walking, some get to know me, especially the free ranging sheep. It has been known for me to be walking along with a whole flock of other people's sheep following me. They also go on the beach and love skipping around in the sand. Often I'll want to go on the beach and it's already full of sheep!

[Blackbird6 in reply to HungryHufflepuff]

That's sounds so brilliant a very idyllic way of life . I love talking to the animals it's natural to do it ❤❤

The child in all of us still love Shetland ponies, and alot of us still want one.

Wonder if one of these are a descendant of "Misty of Chincoteague" the childs book by Marguerite Henry?....a must have book for all children, no matter their age

A very beautiful picture.

Meg💕

[kpm346]

Good grieve you must live in paradise with all the lovely animals and dog walking. It may be cold where you are but at least you can rug up, being so hot here at the moment one does not know how to keep cool.

[Blackbird6 in reply to kpm346]

Where are you kpm in Oz I'm guessing xx

[kpm346 in reply to Blackbird6]

Yes I am just outside Brisbane Queensland. Luckily outside the firezone.

[Blackbird6 in reply to kpm346]

[Izb1 in reply to Blackbird6]

Wish I could say yes, it is a long recovery and its early days but I will get there x

[Blackbird6 in reply to Izb1]

At least it's done and though the process a long one it's going to get easier each day ...I'm sure your family will rally round to help you in the meantime relax and rest 💞💞
