Title: Just saying hi
Post by: Nik on June 08, 2009, 03:56:09 pm

Hi all stumbled across this site which looks very good.

We have 3 horses (2 Highlands and an Irish Cob), 9 sheep (7 hebridean and 2 strays - yes stray sheep.  One ran away from a gala then jumped down a 3ft wall into my field, owner didn't want it back and the other was found on the road side suffering from scab but is now the biggest one of the lot ::)), 5 cats (2 pets and 3 strays) - there is a theme ::) :D

Welcome, Nik!  Where are you?  Many of us are in Central Scotland, but the forum is generally very cosmopolitan!

Hi and welcome from Alloa. I've got a Highland pony - love him to bits. Mostly.

Hi and welcome from Brittany.  I used to have a Highland mare who had a party trick of laying down when asked to go any faster than slow, slow slow.

Hi all,

I'm just West of Dunfermline on way to Alloa, so a lot of you seem quite close :D
