Someone has parked…

[HorsePark]

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

Ignore me. You said your shoulder.

About 13.2

It seems pretty chilled. It’s got blinker things on it’s eyes

It's not a builder gone round to next door, is it?

No photo?

@BruceAndNosh

They've blocked your car in? I'm not sure how the Council can tow a horse away

That would be a decision for the mare to make I think.

Just someone trying to stirrup trouble. Can you get a knackered old horse you don’t mind leaving there for a while and block the first one in?

Can you move the dog? Stressful for both of them.

Are you guarding the horse? Or peering through the window?

@HorsePark

I’m not sure how tall 14.2 hands is but it’s back is level with my shoulder and I’m 5’3”

4 inches in a hand. Measure to its withers though Joking aside op does it seem ok?

@Thoosa

That’s a fabulous picture.

The horse looks a bit embarrassed.

So he should be, he's blocking her in!

I only came for the photo but neigh...

Best diagram on MN. Ever.

Don't worry about your dog, he's just jockeying for position.

Yes, I’ve taken the dog upstairs she’s chilling on the bed with me now.

@Soubriquet

How completely random.

Unhook it from the carriage and hide in your shed.

“Oh no! He must have gotten loose”

Voila. Free horse

laughed out loud at that!

This thread is top notch! Time to rein it in though - don't want to saddle the OP with too many puns

Finders Keepers. Congratulations you now own a horse.

I’m pretty sure we could get our car out if needed there’s a fair bit of room but don’t want to spook it.

You have to show us a picture. Pretty please! This is definitely a mumsnet first for me!

@HorsePark

Ok here is diagrams…

Just looking at your diagram, are you absolutely certain that's a horse? I'm wondering if it's actually a cat?

Mind you, good luck to the person who dares to put blinkers on a cat and tie it to a drainpipe. That cat will be plotting some serious revenge.

Photo pretty please (though top marks for diagram).

I’ve just been pricing up removals. I reckon there’s a market for horse drawn house movers (green, cheap) if you can just find somewhere to stash it. Fancy a new business?

Lovely drawing! 10 points to you!

Can you quickly put up a private parking notice and attach a hoof clamp?

I love mumsnet for shit like this.
