exactly. or like eating corn on the cob. when i graze him on a lead rope he
makes half circles in front of himself as far as the rope can go, and they are
bare. and he eats like he's a mechanical mouth.chomp chomp chomp, always

Pretty funny - my first thought was that I might as well just go out and  lay 
down on the field and save both Joe and me the effort of my  immediate 
falling off as I leaned down to scoop up the ball  .  But I may rig this up 
into 
a more doofus-friendly version for  the summer (involving bigger balls and 
basically pool nets, I think)

Kate, with your lacrosse skills and love of Fjords you must try  
polocrosse!

http://www.americanpolocrosse.org/
It's just the most fun you'll have on a horse!  I love that it can be  
done at a walk, trot, canter and/or gallop - and is wonderful skill  
building for riders of all ages!

Go for it -- don't just use those lacrosse skills cleaning up!  :-)

Mine, of course, not the Fjords.  We are having some chilly temps

the deep south - it was 10 degrees at feeding time this morning.

discovered all  of
my high school lacrosse skills coming back to me!  As probably  
everyone
knows (except Robin in Florida ), pony poops freeze into  
baseball size  and
consistency and can be very tricky at evading the manure rake.  I  
just  have the

funniest time scooping, twisting and tossing the errant poop into the
wheelbarrow in my own version of pony lacrosse.  If I could get my   
daughters out

there we could make it a team sport!
The ponies, however, are not particularly amused.
