HELP!!!

Hi all, c'est moi. Michelle doesn't do French so I'll let you guess who. I have a problem at work. Doesn't that sound like some appalling teenage agony aunt page beginning? Well, I do. Horsey persons, please sit up and tell me what to do. I have a stray horse which is likely to end up slotted without help so alot hangs (excuse the pun) on your thoughts. This horse has ended up on a smallish triangle of grass. Plenty tucker, problem; no chance of starving the bugger out. to the rear, an extremely steep bank which leads onto a busy State Highway. If we managed to drag said beastie up the bank, it is likely it will be spooked by the traffic. In usual NZ Police helpful way, it is most unlikely that we will be able to count on their help to stop traffic whilst this manouver is carried out. both other sides of the triangle are railway lines which though not electric (a thought for our Pommie readers), the horse will not approach. No owner has come forward and Alice is desparately hoping they don't. If we get it off the triangle, we don't know if we can get it on a horse trailer or truck. It seems to be 1 year to 18 months old. Bay, thouroughbred? Thouroughbred x young stallion. It is used to being handled as even I managed to get a halter on it and lead it a little to tie it up. There are no fences around the rails! Your thoughts please. Mine are in order of preference; 1) attach it to my vehicles winch and drag it by a halter across the rails slowly but firmly. 2) a group of us get together and using ropes around its back end and halter, drag push it across manually. 3) lead it up the bank and onto the road. 4) and this is a final resort, slot it and have the Wallace Corp. pull it out with their winch. Despite you all believing that I'm heartless, I don't mind destroying animals when there is no other way or if it is a means to my plate, but I don't really enjoy it. Really. No, I mean REALLY!

This little problem has been taking my time up at work for the past few days, it cannot go on indefinately. Please help.

Apart from that, not alot to report. I'm just finishing off the woodwork in M's office, hopefully finished / almost, over the weekend. Then, weather permitting, I aim to help Richard and Robyn get their pool up and running in time for the summer proper. It isn't that big a job Richard really. Really must be the in word at the mo'. Take care my loyal readers and please send me your ideas.
