Farm Friends - Timmy's new winter coat

With the recent fresh feeling in the air, Peter commented that it was time he fitted Timmy out with a new coat for winter. Coats for horses and ponies, known as rugs, come in lots of sizes - a reasonable guess would be that Timmy is a 'S' rather than 'XL' but to ensure that Peter bought the perfect fit he desided to measure Timmy.

Peter measured from the base of Timmy's mane to his tail.

Timmy's clearly had enough of measuring - he's off!

A quick trip to the local agricultural merchant and voila.

Cosy and snug and ready for the first frosts.

A good roll in the wet grass and Timmy's coat will soon be looking like his friends!
