25th May 2015 - Horses

On Friday when I drove down to Devon with Finlay we arrived too early to get into the house in Instow. I went to Westward Ho! first but you cannot take dogs on the beach at this time of year so I drove a little way along the coast to Northam Burrows. There is a links golf course behind the sea wall of rocks. What amused me were the sheep and the horses loose on the golf course. A slight handicap I would have thought!! LOL!! As we walked back to the car about 20 horses came across towards the car park. I quickly got Finlay into the car as he does not like horses.
It was quite misty which is why Northam Village looks soft.

A fascinating story and photo. Horses and sheep on the golf course??? Surely never heard of that. Definitely a handicap, huh?! Wonder how the golfers manage?

I guess it's one way of keeping the lawn short and fertilised! Although it must be a tad disconcerting teeing up and being faced with 20 horses!

Poor Greens man he must have a terrible job trying to repair the damage!

Nice shot, and definely a handicap. There is a golf course on the Isle of Arran which most times I pass has a group of Deer on it.

The softness of the village really make the horses stand out.

A village? Looks like a big town to some one from a village of 17 people.

I can't believe they would let horses with their big heavy hooves on to a golf course! Very rural scene!

@ubobohobo perhaps it's a small town? Not sure when a village becomes a town. It's certainly much smaller than the small town where I live in Northamptonshire. Perhaps someone can tell us?

Horses, sheep and golf seem a strange combination! Beautiful photo of the horses!

How funny to have horses on the golf course. I wonder if they ever get hit by a stray ball.
