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

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.

🤣

How exciting. Don't look a gift horse in the mouth!

It's important we aren't blinkered to the horses well-being.

I would knock on neighbours doors and if no luck try non emergency police number.

Poor pony needs to go home tonight

My back garden is not that big unfortunately. But there is stables nearby Grin

Loving the aerial drawing of the little stick leggy 'horse'.

Surely this is a gift… Grin

I'm not sure how the Council can tow a horse away

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

Viques wins the thread Grin Grin

@HorsePark

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.
yup, cars are easily spooked

My husband was out watering the flowers and a lady came out next door and shouted over ‘don’t worry she’s fine’ then went back in.

This is a lovely thread. It reminds me of one Christmas years ago when I was staying with friends in Frampton On Severn. I went out for a walk very early on Christmas morning and tied to the gate post of one of the houses was a fat little pony with a red ribbon around his belly. He clearly some little girl or boy's Christmas present. I really wanted to wait to see them come out and find him but I couldn't hang around. I've never forgotten it. The house was so pretty and the pony so cute. It was such a picture-perfect image.
