Niko regularly makes me chuckle, today I was fixing fences, look up and he’s making off with my hammer in his mouth, it took some negotiating to get him to let it go
then as I’m knocking in nails, in comes his nose right over my hammer swinging arm, to check out what I was doing
Then I’m mucking out his stable and had been through the ungrazed paddock to the muck heap so had taken the baler twine tie off the gate (I don’t trust just the hook/latch with him about), he was merrily grazing off down the field. Went back for another barrow load and I come out 2 minutes later and he’s done a ninja stealth creep past the stables, opened the gate and was happily stuffing his face! Lucky for me he hadn’t noticed the gate is missing into the 8 acre hay meadow
I had nothing to hand but the bit of baler twine to catch him, thankfully he was very good about it
I was really happy with him at dinner time, I feed them both in their stables, I’d let Hank out and decided to see how he’d do with Hank leaving so I perched next to his stable and waited. He watched as Hank toddled off up the field, but not a peep, no fuss and just stood waiting
