Goldie and me

Our two conservation ponies, Ollie the Exmoor and Goldie the New Forest, were collected from the nature reserve this morning and taken to another reserve. It was extremely difficult! Ollie was awkward and belligerent and Goldie, who is frightened of the horse box, was spooked by his antics. It took ages and a lot of patience on the part of our Reserves Officers, Stacey and Chris! Here I am, trying to look into Goldie's phobic brain through her beautiful eye. You can just see a bit of her lovely golden fringe as well. The extra shot shows most of her.
