>I know that Fj could not stand to be in a >stall all day, as he strongly objects to more than an hour in one. yes, which is normal! It really hurts me to think about Flor in that box... >another >subject, how does everyone keep their Fjords occupied? Fj undoes gates >(including one spring loaded one that I have to wiggle and lean my weight on >to get open), unties himself, and jumps fences. We already discussed >Fencing, >but how does everyone relieve their boredom? Company is one good thing (that doesn't have to be another Fjord, my Janosch (the Shetland) has a lot of fun with our dog (well, he's of his size, of course!), and I heard of horses playing with goats and sheep... I also bought a skippy ball and occasionally they have fun with it too - not so often as I'd hoped, but maybe that's because they have eachother to play with... I heard good things about skippy balls for lonely horses. Sybren amuses himself with anything, when I'm working in the meadow and I hang my coat on the branch of a tree, he jumps up until he has it and then runs through the meadow with it, and so with anything he thinks I need so that he's sure I'll run after him... And of course... eating is what he loves best in the world! Saskia
