Anne Jones was out horse riding on Rowley Road, Shrewsbury, when she spotted four sheep looking back at her – and her horse, Cow Pony.

The photo sparked comments online as the sheep appear to look quite... ominous!

Guessing they were lost, Anne posted in Worthen and Brockton Community Hub's Facebook page, asking if anyone knew the owner.

One user, Julie Hamer said: "They look like they mean business."

Colin Tomlins joked: "They belong to Ewe Wooly."

Another comment by Alex Price implied that the owner has had his sheep return safely, writing "back in now" with a thumbs up emoji.
