have you ever got your tail stuck in a fallen tree?

[Mitchy1nge]

what did you do? I still feel mildly traumatised by the experience, it was especially frustrating not to have any secateurs or scissors to hack at the branches or tail with. I can't believe I'd set off without any, such a fool

or would you not have tried walking 'through' a tree in the first place?

[Littlebigbum]

No I don't bring scissors on a hack. Camera would be better for us.. You are back now 'safe'

[Mitchy1nge]

although not seriously convinced anyone carries secateurs I think a swiss army knife with a fold out hoof pick would be a life saver

they used to say always have 10p to make a phone call I need to update my thinking!

but it was otherwise a lovely ride

lol

I always carry a large machete in case of brambles and a boy scout in case of stones in hooves. HTH.

Pixel that made me laugh SO MUCH I was asked to provide an account of what exactly was so funny and obviously got a teenaged for my troubles making me feel very small and silly

should probably carry a lance too in case we happen upon a jousting tournament (would desperately love that to happen)

[Pixel]

Ah well, basic mistake there. You don't tell teenagers what you are laughing at, you say you'll tell them when they are older. They hate that .

Could you get a folding lance, like those old people walking sticks? (If there's room in your pocket along with the shovel and sack for cleaning manure off the road of course hahahahah).

[Mitchy1nge]

oh I'd forgotten about the shovel and sack too

people are fucking weird aren't they!

[snorris]

Can't say I have but we did drag a branch down the road for a fair way!
