A horse, an actual horse, complete with carriage outside my house and secured it to my drainpipe!

I need to see a photo of this

DiamondCushion · 25/03/2022 17:56

Clearly only here for the diagram!

A few years ago I was doing some work for our local council Electoral Services. Going to addresses and checking who lived there as they hadn't returned forms sent out. Anyway, at one house, I opened the gate and there in the front garden was pony Smile. The people weren't home but I had a lovely chat and cuddle with it. Made my day!

How completely random.

Unhook it from the carriage and hide in your shed.

“Oh no! He must have gotten loose”

Voila. Free horse

Northernlurker · 25/03/2022 17:59

I'm saddling up for the denouement of this one!

Nidan2Sandan · 25/03/2022 17:59

I'm just here for the photo Smile

Of course the mane issue is it blocking your car in?

@BruceAndNosh

It's really difficult to clamp a horse. Can you hold it to ransom.... Someone will have to pony up for its release
You have to hobble horses.

There, that’s the entirety of my horse knowledge laid out for the delectation of MN.

Disclaimer, not really sure what hobbles are or where you get them, will have a look on Amazon.

You could harness the power of Mumsnet to find the owner

(Thank you, I'm here all week)

PriamFarrl · 25/03/2022 18:01

Post the picture. Just blank out the number plate. Grin

viques · 25/03/2022 18:01

Are we all reining in our excitement for the picture? I canter hardly wait.

Northernlurker · 25/03/2022 18:01

The horse will be pretty hobbled by being locked to something!

Not the parking thread I thought I was clicking on but is it still parked there?

Photos?

TortugaRumCakeQueen · 25/03/2022 18:02

Maybe the horse identifies as a car?

Northernlurker · 25/03/2022 18:02

And what do your neigh-bours think?

Thoosa · 25/03/2022 18:02

This thread has more puns per line than any in MN history. Grin

Jobhelpplease · 25/03/2022 18:03

What do the neighhhhbours think?!

Northernlurker · 25/03/2022 18:03

@TortugaRumCakeQueen I think you'll find it IS a car and you are being car phobic by stating the bleeding obvious

viques · 25/03/2022 18:03

@TabithaTittlemouse

Do you think the owner has nipped to the shop?
Or the bookies.

It's 24 carrots.
Northernlurker · 25/03/2022 18:04

I'm concerned the op hasn't come back. Her posting isn't very stable.

Blossomtoes · 25/03/2022 18:05

Waiting for the photo.

Northernlurker · 25/03/2022 18:05

But the premise of the thread is Hansom

Maybe she's not well - feeling a little horse?
