Kicking the bucket!

Or to be more accurate, picking up the bucket, of whatever size and shape, and flinging it around the field/yard/stable.

This is Faith’s new pastime. I’ve just been standing at the kitchen window watching Faith trying valiantly to pick up a large tub trug full of ice, and chuck it across the field. Thing is, she can’t get a great purchase on it (possibly because of wobbly teeth), so at the moment she is more dragging, than flinging.

She has also started doing this with the tub trug of water in her stable, which usually becomes the prime target, having thrown both of her feed buckets over the door and out onto the yard. I just hope to goodness she doesn’t overturn it in the stable, as she will give herself an almighty fright if the floor changes colour! Oh and before anyone mentions it, yes, she has plenty to eat. The EEC hay mountain appears in her stable every night, and I always give her more than she can eat, so she isn’t doing this out of hunger. Having said that, I might see if I can get my mitts on a swede or mangold to see if that will entertain her more.

I don’t really mind these shenanigans, it’s just that the rather expensive ‘horse toys’ I bought for her are littering the place, completely untouched......sigh.....
