Re: Welcome to the New List
This message is from: Jean Ernest [EMAIL PROTECTED] Jean, look in your wlcome message and you will find the ddifferent commands. Eqvalan liquid is the brand of Ivermectin by Merck, and it is under prescription. My vet sold it to me for about twice what it is listed in KV vet supply, but I saved money on doing it myself. Apparently Ivomec 1 % injectable for cattle is the very same stuff, but not under prescription! The price in the K-V vet catalog is about the same per ML but EQVALAN comes in 100 ml bottles, IVOMEC comes in 50 and 200 ML bottles. 1 ml/110 lbs, or 10 ml for a 1100 lb horse. I use a 12 ml plastic syringe and squirt it onto the middle of the horse's tongue. They don't seem to spit it out like the paste! Glad you are having some dry weather...I would have preferred the 10 inches of snow they were warning us about, rather than this melting stuff and freezing rain! We're losing our insulation! Jean in Fairbanks, temp dropped to +39, but still dripping out there: all the pretty snow and frost has fallen off the trees! Jean, Two questions, Who is located where in reference to new commands on the list? And what is liquid ivermectin. Is it the same as for cows and injected?

Re: horses i heaven
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hello everyone, Jean, The eight legged horse is Sleipnir, and yes, ridden by Odhinn. Norse Mythology is full of horses; for example, the god, Freyr, gives his beloved horse away to gain the love of a beautiful giantess; The Valkyries ride horses throughout all their travels; the goddess Hel rides a three legged horse; and Freya and Skuld ride horses. These are the ones I remember off the top of my head, anyway. Interestingly enough, the horses ridden by the Valkyries are said to carry souls from Earth to the next world, hence, an afterlife. From a mythological/polytheistic viewpoint (most early polytheistic religions were also animistic), the question of whether or not an animal had a soul would be a moot point. All creatures were seen with souls, and all would be seen as going on to live in an afterlife. Hope this different prospective helps a bit!

It also means that some people who had silent subscriptions to allow them to post from multiple addresses while receiving the list at only one address will have to start posting only from the address at which they receive the list. Sorry, I'll see if I can get this feature included at the new site, but it will take awhile.

Re: religious views
This message is from: Annette [EMAIL PROTECTED] Though not a theological scholar, I'll add my 2 cents to the current theological debate: 1st...there are the 4 horses of the Apocalypse; they come down from Heaven; white horse (Revelation 6:2; Rev. 19:1114), red horse (Revelation 6:4), black horse (Rev. 6:5), and a pale horse (Rev. 6:8). Whether they died first and went to Heaven or are created in Heaven isn't implied or stated...but, clearly, they're there. 2nd... Isaiah 11:6:9 and Isaiah 65:25 both talk about the way things will be when the Messiah establishes a new earth: The wolf will live with the lamb, the leopard will lie down with the goat, the calf and the lion and the yearling together; and a little child will lead them. The cow will feed with the bear, their young will lie down together, and the lion will eat straw like the ox. The infant will play near the hole of the cobra and the young child put his hand into the viper's nest. They will neither harm nor destroy on all my holy mountain, for the earth will be full of the knowledge of the Lord as the waters cover the sea. 3rd...Concerning the murder of man Genesis 9:5 says: And for your lifeblood I (God) will surely demand an accounting. I will demand an accounting from every animal. And from each man, too, I will demand an accounting for the life of his fellow man. The assumption seems to be that animals answer in the next life, therefor, they must have a next life. 4th...Animals were created by God in the Garden of Eden and were declared Good by God BEFORE the fall of man. (Genesis 1:31) 5th...God uses animals in describing His own Son, Jesus...Lamb of God (Rev. 5:6, John 1:29) and the Lion of Judah (Revelation 5:5). While these are used figuratively, they imply that God holds animals in a place of favor. While not willing to be martyred for this facet of my beliefs, I do believe the above Scriptures provide a compelling argument for animals in Heaven.

What problems do equines have with parasites/diseases from other species? the other is smaller and tightly fenced, but currently overstocked with sheep, goats, a llama, and who knows what else. I don't know enough about these other critters to assess their health, but the density of critters brings to mind Murphy. What are the potential problems, and what might I do to lessen any risks? Everyone will tell you that lice are specific to each breed/class of animal. That is, llama lice don't like horses and visa versa. BUT for the past several years Line has had a good case of lice every spring. She is the only one of our horses who ever has them AND she is the only one whose pen is in the same woods with the neighbors' llamas. These llamas have become increasingly unkempt the past couple of years, and I suspect they are the source of Line's problem. The lice she gets don't look like any lice I've ever seen on a horse before - more like the ones sheep sometimes have. So there you have it - I suspect that lice might be a problem you could encounter, especially if the animals currently residing in that enclosure are overcrowded and not taken care of. I am not aware of any other parasites or diseases which transfer from sheep, llamas, goats, etc., to horses. That would be a question for a veterinarian. We have had all three around us at different times and have had no problems, other than the lice. The llamas have all been sold this winter, so it will be interesting to see what happens with Line next spring. Mary = Mary Thurman Raintree Farms [EMAIL PROTECTED] __ Do You Yahoo!?
