I thought now I live here full time I should have a go at growing my own vegetables. So my husband fenced off a section of garden for me to keep my dogs out. Over winter I dug the ground over several times, because it hadn't been used for a long time. My daughter and I planted our seeds and I researched weed control and pest control. We religiously weeded and sprayed our lovely growing plants. Then today we took our visitors to sunny beach for the day. on our return I discovered that some very large pests had distroyed my vegeatable patch and eaten every thing in sight. What were they you might wonder.
Well i'll give you a clue, theres six of them, they have four legs each, A long mane and tail and can jump a 5ft fence.....
Yes you guessed it I now have six very full happy horses after a full veg patch, two apple trees and a few cherries.

[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] sorry i should not laugh, you have spent time and energy tending your vegatables and nurturing them to produce, but the visual scene of 6 horses eating your crop is beyond understanding, yes, rabbits, bugs, locust, etc, but horses, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. sorry, at least they have had their 5 vitamins today.

you will have to start again and reinforce the boundary. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Goodness, what a lot of hard work wasted. At least the horses were happy!

Our donkey ate all our watermelons and honeydew ones last year. Won't happen again!

My wife always had horses .... I never planted a thing that was vaguely edible (even in areas I considered 'safe').

Crafty things they are!

Sorry but I couldn't resist it. But a lesson learned.

I guess they needed some food after all that olive oil they had earlier!!! What clever horses you have.

By the way did you see the Gray for sale on Facebook?
