Great video clip  :)  Our sheep do that too but it takes them much longer with their little feet to clear a decent sized bit. Maybe your ponies could come and give them a hand - or hoof.

My horses loved the snow. The SSPCA are taking a special interest in horses up here at the moment as horse sales failed and folk are stuck with Shetlands they are usually shut of by now. You cant give away Shetlands now,so many folk trying. There has been no straw up here for a month now, my OH had to get a bale of rabbit bedding for the goat!
