you're telling me!!! i have a 2 stall barn. it used to be that dancer would nail quinn (fjord) if he approached her chow. they have their own dishes. about 6 months ago, she started letting him have his way. of course, he ate hers and his and got fat and she lost weight. so i bought and installed stall gates to keep him in his own stall during mealtime. yesterday, that wiley coyote, was caught red-handed with his whole head and neck through the pipe divider, completely twisted around with his face buried in her barrel, which hangs on the rails. now i have to figure out a new tactic! i think i will completely remove her half-barrel and hang it from the opposite wall. no way he can get to it than, unless he can fly.....and i would'nt be surprised!!!! denise
