Horsing around

I rarely have close encounters with horses. There must, however, be a riding school or livery stable in the Tong/Fulneck valley as there were fields full of horses. The footpath ran right through a couple of their fields and the horses were quite friendly. (I never find them as threatening as cattle sometimes appear.) Maybe they thought we had apples... some of them were following us around, looking hopeful. I thought the one above was a very attractive animal. The little brown shetland pony below was pretty too.
