PUB HORSE!

[YesitsBess]

Our local pub backs on to a horse field owned by the owners Dad. We have big horses, small baby horses and CURIOUS HORSE! They may be ponies actually as they don’t look over 14 hands to me but am running with horse for now. Curious horse likes to check on you when you go to the loo.

Now, I know what not to do with horses to an extent but I know horse MN will be able to add to this.

Do not feed the horse (curious or otherwise). Ever.

Do not try and touch the horse if it has ears turned backwards (not sure about this one as an absolute rule) I did a nose scratch when curious horse seemed more chill.

No drunken jumping into field for horse selfie. Especially with smol baby horses.

Our local riding centre lost a Shetland to people feeding it crap recently, what other things should people be doing?

That is cute and I can imagine with a few drinks on board it will then be SUPER cute! But most likely it's there hoping that drunk people will feed it. I'd stay at a friendly scratch on the ears and leave it at that, it's owner will almost certainly not like people interfering with it in any way. Definitely do not go into the field.

The family are quite well-known here so most of us are familiar with the horses/ponies but we get a shedload of tourists every year and I’d like to add some MN wisdom to the reviews!

Aw! I don't really go to pubs but i would absolutely be at that pub all the time!
