point blank refusal

 Pronto the incredibly good looking but intellectually challenged Andalusian created his own spot of bother a couple of days ago, you might remember this is the equine who got himself trapped in a gateway by a piece of string (admittedly bailer twine which as all smallholders know is unbreakable and fixes everything from broken fences to space shuttles) and and to help him over this trauma has been given a lovely stable with room service. 

 Confronted by the puzzle of a closed stable door the dozy boy somehow managed to chew it off its hinges over night hence its current location, but then in an apparent effort to prevent the use of a well worn proverb

Pronto refused to bolt. He also refused to hold the power tools and saw required to fix his mess.
