Bonfire escapees

We had a rather amusing shock at the weekend. We were having a bonfire in one of the horse fields, so I moved the cobs to a field around the side for the night (that we hadn't used before). The fencing in the side field is new post and rail, with a deep ditch and hedge along one side. Completely safe, obviously. Well when we left the yard all seemed well, Jon and I spent the evening in our local pub and and drank slightly too much white wine. The next morning I woke up (with a throbbing head) to my mobile screaming at me. HORSES HAD ESCAPED INTO NEIGHBOURS NEATLY LANDSCAPED GARDEN AND WERE CONSUMING VAST AMOUNTS OF APPLES (AND CHASING EACH OTHER DANGEROUSLY CLOSE TO A NEW CONSERVATORY) ARRGHHH! Had to drive to yard, still bearing self inflicted headache and deal with (remarkably understanding) neighbours, who kindly said the horses might as well have the rest of their apples as they had bitten chunks out of most of them! Horses won't be frequenting that field again until ditch/hedge side has several thousand volts running along it! Coffee looked very sorry for himself - i am not sure if this was because he was cross to be taken away from apple heaven or because he had eaten too many and made himself sick! Luckily he is fine now and didn't develop colic. Phew!
