Most onlookers thought they were goats.   I'm guessing they're Zwartbles?

[Gunnermark]

I have seen it all now lol!!!

[jaykay]

They are - how interesting.
Not unheard of for goat wethers to pull carts but never seen sheep doing it before 

[Fleecewife]

I always thought zwartbles were too big for their own good 

[bigchicken]

Yes fantastic would love to see this in the flesh, I wonder if they are fully trained or on a lead rein I feel a google coming on.   Baa boys on u tube have a look very strange but fascinating

Saw this in a demonstration at the end of the Herts County show on sunday.  All I gleaned was that it was part of a horse rescue charity which had driven down from Scotland.  The sheep were called This and That


The sheep did indeed pull the cart with a driver, albeit a little reluctantly.  She was also jumping a pony cart, something else I've never seen.

She was also jumping a pony cart

Weird, sounds both uncomfortable to the pony and pointless 

[Small Farmer]

Definitely weird.  OH has found the programme now

Well, Fleecewife, as we zwartbles keepers know they are in fact small ponies. Just sheared they resemble black and white quarter-horses. Still taste all right though !!

Very disturbed by this film, Brave Brave pony's and stupid people ! Why Why Why. In my eyes this constitutes animal cruelty

[Mallows Flock]

LOL... and I was pleased with my sheep just walking on a dog collar and lead... ! Clever Zwartbles

its only what royal horse artillery have done for yonkers.

[jaykay]

Well I suppose once upon a time the horses of the Royal Artillery did have to cope with noise, smoke and fire in battle.
Whether or not it should be used as entertainment is a different matter I think.

[deepinthewoods]

i see your point, but couldnt you easily say the same about horse riding or jumping tho?

[bigchicken]

 
 At one time bull terriers would have to be brave to face a bull. At one time a strong dog would have to be brave to battle with a bear.  Pit bull terriers have to be brave to battle. Bull have to be brave for bullfighting I could go on.  Fire jumping pony's yes that's ok and is very useful for somethink, O its for the entertainment of  people. CRUELTY nothing less
