Follow my leader...

I hadn't seen the ponies in the field opposite where I live all the time it had been snowing - being sensible animals they no doubt had been sheltering down in one of the other fields. When I opened my bedroom curtains this morning though, there they were - stomping at the ground to move the snow and get at the scrub grass underneath. Then they all started moving across the field following this guy (who I think is the stallion of the herd)... and soon they were out of sight again.
