Grand designs

Not quite sure what got into the head of our Gypsy Cob, Apollo today but he decided to take the podium and play statues.

Perhaps it was because he was surrounded by a sea of mud and was demanding rescue.

Whatever it was he stayed there for over half an hour, ignored a bucket of carrot waved provocatively under his nose and even refused to come down for some fuss from his new favorite human, Jill aka super Grandma on account she has run the smallholding for the last few weeks almost single handed.

He was finally persuaded to get down when told if he stayed any longer the five gallon bucket of silver hammerite would be used to good effect.
