This message is from: katesei...@aol.com I try really hard to do right by my Fjords, and now that they have pastures, that means either keeping them off the pasture, or keeping them in grazing muzzles for part of the time. So, I introduced the grazing muzzles. The plan is to have them in muzzles for 2 hours, pasture for 4 hours, and dry lot for the rest. Della is a bit dejected by the whole thing, and comes at a gallop when I arrive to remove the muzzle, but she has pretty much gotten with the program and is working the grass through the muzzle. Joe, of course, is another story entirely, and is not going to give in to this indignity. Rather than figuring out how to eat through it, he is spending his time rubbing and shaking it. Today I came out to the pasture to remove the muzzle to find that he has managed to complete rip the base of the muzzle off of the halter. I've sent a note to the folks at Best Friends, and they are amazed that he could do this so cleanly without benefit of tools. I am ordering a replacement because darn it, he's the horse and I'm the person...and ...and....well....that has to count for something, right!?
