I am a trek leader with the Edinburgh University Exmoor Pony Trekking Section (if you're ever in Edinburgh you should come out with us) which basically means I get to go out trekking with cute fluffy ponies in the beautiful hills south of Edinburgh. Today was my first trek of the year, and it was actually sunny! But cold, very cold - there were remnants of snow glistening on the hilltops. It was a good trek, but I'm now exhausted and have cold feet - even after a hot shower. One of the ponies, Zippy, clearly decided he wanted to be inside the tack shed, not outside in the mud, and climbed in! I turned around and saw the back end of a pony disappearing - he headed straight for the food bin, but luckily couldn't get into it. He tried it again twice more - obviously he didn't get the message when we made him leave the first time.
