The ponies from the riding stables had broken out into Rhodfa Arthur just after dark tonight and an array of residents and riders blocked their escape onto the main road by marshalling drivers to park their cars over the T junction .
The three ponies were spooked and unpredictable but eventually were herded rather spookily down the lane , past my cottage to their field past Trendy Carol’s house.
Good humour and relief was much evident in the air.
I love moments like these where people join together without thinking
We need more of them
So true. People acting together, on impulse, for the greater good. Gives a nice, warm feeling! xx
ReplyDeleteWonderful news that no harm came to the ponies, thanks to that group of good people. Gigi

Coming together to provide help shows acts of kindness and good will. You live in a lovely community.
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful to have helpful hands, level heads, and well parked vehicles to keep the horses safe from harm. Nice, too, that the horses are back in their familiar field.

ReplyDeleteAn exciting evening in Trelawnyd for sure!
ReplyDeleteThis story and the one before about the fruit likes and dislikes are good examples of why I enjoy your blog, John.
ReplyDeleteLOL. Reminds me of the time that I was at my son's house. A group of goats came trotting down the street. He lives in an urban area.
ReplyDeleteYes a good moment! Glad the ponies are safe too.
ReplyDeleteHeart warming that everyone pulled together to get the ponies safely back in their field.
ReplyDeleteDid they call in for carrots and mugs of tea when they passed your gaffe?
ReplyDeleteA community is the sum of its people.
ReplyDeletePonies out again! It's about time they got those fences sorted.
ReplyDeleteThat's one of the best parts of living in such a rural setting, you all just muck in and help out whenever help is needed.
ReplyDeleteI wish I could have been there to see this roundup! From Connie in Canaa
ReplyDeleteExcitement, drama and a satisfying outcome. Thank you for such a story today, John!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad the community got together to keep them away from the busier road and they were got safely back home.
ReplyDeleteMust be the week for animal escapes, a pet Emu (yes, a pet Emu!) escaped from his owner here in Tucson AZ this week. Happy ending here as well, captured and returned to his owner.
ReplyDeleteYour town seems to be so good at pulling together.
