New Forest foal

Oh, I have to share these two videos with you all.   You see, I have been away again, down to the New Forest for a couple of days...again.    I have to take the humans away sometimes for a break, it does them good.  Well, during my stay I got to have a little one to one chat time with a young foal.

Mum reckons you should leave them alone with their mothers (they get a bit protective apparently!)...
huh!!...so wrong...as you will see this little chap came up to Me first....AND his mummy took NO NOTICE at all....

Okay, so I was a little bit scared of this very confident chap, well he was bigger than me!  Wonder if he will remember me next time we visit? 

A surprise encounter

The other week on our visit back to the New Forest, we stopped off for a walk and guess what we saw

yes, a couple of donkeys (mum and foal) 

this being the place where horses and cattle roam freely -

you often see donkeys as well

and as I absolutely adore them, I persuaded mum and dad to let

me go over and say hello in person!

then we continued our walk onto the forest and towards a large pond
- I need a drink just like the humans you know-

and GUESS WHAT (plus considering my previous post!)


What was guarding the pond

but

a


SWAN!!

 

all on its lonesome....

but we outwitted it and went around in a detour

whilst it waddled after us

but HAHA

I got my drink in peace

although 

I still had a strange feeling

we were being followed!
