So I needed to pick something up from a nearby yard so I thought I'd use hank instead of the car and when I arrived it transpired they were all just getting ready to go out for their xmas ride, so we tagged along As luck would have it Hank was already dressed for the occasion One day this pony will tell me to bugger off doing stupid stuff with him, but that wasn't today
He waited outside their yard relatively patiently (we're still working on his ability to stand still and not push to be the centre of attention constantly)

One of the kids was going to walk while everyone else rode, but jumped at the chance to drive hank, he'd never driven before but did a cracking job
Then we parked at the (closed) village pub/social club and my friends hubby was tgere waiting with a spread of nibble and drinks, a little snifter of Port hit just the spot
Then we toddled off home again
 It wasn't how I expected to spend the afternoon but was much better fun
