Ha. Too funny. I'd get them out for you if I was there. Do you have a gate on your garden? Do they appear to be gentle?

Q I will ignore that comment. This is a serious problem.

They are from the farmers field next door and I'm scared they're going to fall into the hole where the pool will be. They seem timid and if I go too close they sort of run and I can't shoo them out of the gate. And they have a baby.

I'm serious. If they're gentle, you just need to find some type of rope and lead them out. If you don't have a gate, there is no guarantee they will stay out, though.

Oh, and don't walk up directly behind them. Horses have a blind-spot directly behind thema and directly in front of them. If you approach in the blind-spot you could startle them and they might kick.

I need to lie down in a darkened room. I don't think I can go out there. And I don't have rope. And the farmers are out.

The builders left the field gate open.

:lol You are so funny. How do you get yourself into such predicaments without even leaving your house?

Do you have a way to contact your neighbors? I'd try that & have them come get the horses & explain why you're worried. This way you know the horses are familiar with them and they shouldn't have any bad reactions.

I have 2 neighbours - who are all out. Hopefully husband on a short fuse will be home soon.

Last time it was sheep.

Are the horses still there?

Nope - I have a horse free garden now. Husband on a short fuse came home, clapped his hands 3 times and the horses galloped to the next field and he shut the gate.

I'm not sure I'm suited to living in the country.

:lol Well, thank heavens for your husband. I guess the horses have heard about his short fuse as well.

Was it a short clap? or a very long kind of annoying clap?
