I recently had my friend's 3 dogs and 2 horses staying with us while they were at Glastonbury.
We already have 2 horses and 2 dogs so it was absolutely mental as you can imagine!

Only 2 horses need exercising luckily so I have been getting up early to ride Fern before work then riding A's horse Zak after work.
They all arrived on Tuesday evening and in my excitement/wisdom, I had entered Zak for a local one day event (dressage, show jumping and cross country) at the weekend so I had 3 days to learn to ride and jump him - I'd never sat on him before!
We came 4th on a very misty foggy day so I was really pleased!

We also had Zak's companion Dave, staying as well who is a small black pony who looks very cute but is a little monkey. He was kicking the crap out of poor BH but it was quite amusing to watch because BH is easily twice his size and being bullied by a small hairy creature.

All the horses got on really well and every morning when I went over, all 4 would be laying down flat out. Because the grass is so long at the moment, you could barely see them and the misty mornings didn't help!

Now they've gone home, my horses have been calling for them and A said they have been calling for mine.
They'll be very welcome to come and stay again!
The 5 dogs all get along really well but it was chaos trying to organise them all for a walk!
