Marty,
I'm so glad you weren't injured by your own dog, the pot-bellied pig, the
stray duck, John with the weed-wacker or the group of four-wheelers.
Personally, I think the duck was the biggest threat. When I was a kid, we
had one that would chase and flog my pesky little sister. Yes!
We have a dog who has protected us from his reflection in the sky light, the
lawn mower in a different place than usual, joggers along the road, large
birds in the sky, and a rolled up green towel. Of course, it was holding gym
clothes from Doug's locker, so the towel makes more sense the rest of the
items. It's wonderful to feel so secure - we have our own sort of homeland
security...
Stay safe,
Peg Knutsen

When I got my first Fjord, the other horses attacked him. He ignored
them, turned his butt and kicked out a couple times without looking the
least interested and the other horses gave up and went away. Kilar went
back to eating. He was immediately the top dog in the little herd.
My crazy Arab protects me. He is the lowest on the pecking order, but
will 'herd' his little group and warn them of danger. He has protected
me from such unlikely attackers as - my own dog, a pot bellied pig, a
stray duck, John and the weed-wacker and a group of four-wheelers. He
runs to me, stands between me and the 'invader' then runs off again and
runs back and.... I think he is trying to tell me to run away from the
scarey thing. He's a silly goose.
Kilar just looks at him, looks around to see what the fuss is about and
goes back to eating.

My fjord has it backwards... easy going guy, non aggressive. The other
horses take advantage and pick on him (esp. the POA!!) My fjord will run
to ME for protection!
I was wondering if other's fjords were passive? I figured it's why he's
at the bottom of the pecking order. (My other 2 aren't fjords). Curious.
