We have new neighbours. They are not quite the usual kind: they live on one of our meadows, and are two large brown horses called Arre and Mysan.
Their owner called us a week ago, asking if they could use our grounds for grazing; we said why not? We've had trouble finding someone to cut them, anyway. Now the grass will come to good use.
They said we could still walk over the meadow if we want to, so I brought two halves of a carrot, and went to say hello. They appeared friendly (and seemed to like the carrot). Then they followed me back to the gate.
