Sounds as though Polly jumped. At least you know she's fit! If she does it again, she's telling you she isn't happy on her own. So then you'll be wanting either another equine of some kind, or a goat or some sheep to keep her company... Cattle not so good, they love eating horsetail!
Yup, that's what I was thinking
Although I think her tail will be quite safe - both cows are terrified of her
Like, really, properly scared ! I have to walk Polly away from the shed door just so they can get in and out
I don't know if I can afford the luxury of another pony, but I don't want to keep a single unhappy one either
But then, if I happened to get a bigger one it might provide better sized fire apples
When the cows move to their 'summer' grazing, Polly won't be able to go (not unless I want her fat and riddled with lami - which I don't) so she'll need to stay where she is, so I'll need to do something for her.
Goat or sheep
That all sounds very 'fleece' orientated..... I met the lady from the local spinning guild today, she was lovely and even offered to teach me how to knit
Not sure I can resist the lure much longer
Will keep an eye on her and see what happens - will report back
