This is who I found in the garden early this morning. I was not pleased. I checked all the gates and fences and still cannot figure out how he got out of the barnyard pasture and into the garden. At first I thought he had just somehow escaped into the big pasture but as I walked closer I saw that he was actually IN the fenced in garden. His name is Hackey -he is a Hackney pony- and he doesn't like me very much. I opened the gate to the garden, said a prayer for help to catch him and you know what he did? He walked right up TO me! I was thanking God out loud. I got him by the halter and with the help of angels I am sure, walked him straight into his stall in the barn. That is where he is going to stay until I figure this mystery out. Here is the REALLY good news...he didn't do a bit of damage to the garden! All he did was leave some hoof prints and fertilizer behind. ;)

What a beautiful picture. I'm so happy to hear that he didn't do any damage in the garden. Hopefully it won't happen again.
Boy, I was happy too. I discovered how he did it. The neighbor was mending their pasture fence and left a gap where our fences come together! When I told them the pony got in the garden mysteriously he said he thought he knew what happened. Sure enough...there was a gap - so he fixed it.
Funny how animals find a hole in the fence quick as a wink!
This comment is actually for the horse... enjoy the garden while you can. When I get home, you and I are going for a drive.
