This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] However, I can promise you a busy and lucrative practice with, as I said, relief shifts from your fellow Vets. That is probably more enticing than scenery or any other fringe benefit. I just started my own practice about two years ago after working with someone for six years. While I don't regret going solo, it is frustrating having to be on call 24hrs/day, seven days a week. It's a little competitive around here, so it can be hard to find someone to take calls for me.

Re: Panic snaps other stuff
This message is from: Jean Gayle [EMAIL PROTECTED] Now Jean, did Any of us mention the negatives in our recruitment efforts? it rains a lot doesn't it. Well as for rain we are actually having a drought, sp?. Last year was the beginning of our warming trend with less storms and rain. The Rain Forest,named aptly after it's rain fall, gets a lot though and is mysteriously draped in long shreds of moss dripping quietly onto the thickly carpeted ground. Sound is muffled by the decay of silent years. The grunt of the bear and the longing of the bull elk break the silence. Etc, etc, etc. Jean Gayle Aberdeen, WA [Authoress of The Colonel's Daughter Occupied Germany 1946 TO 1949 ] http://www.techline.com/~jgayle Barnes Noble Book Stores

A couple things you didn't mention: Pike's Marketplace. Great open air stuff, but sheltered from rain. Right across the street is a wonderful French Patisserie with true French apple tarts!

So close to Victoria Island, and you can take a ferry over a long weekend ( or a week) up the Inside Passage to see beauty that is unimaginable, and found nowhere else in the world. Pamela

Re: Panic snaps other stuff
This message is from: Jean Gayle [EMAIL PROTECTED] Steve, Well now that other offer sounds like a movie setting! I really can not quote the number of lakes, many. The gorgeous mountains including our beloved Mt. Rainier are in view with their snow caps gleaming. Aberdeen Wa. is within 2 hours on the interstate of Seattle, one if not the prettiest city and waterfront in the US. (Too crowded now for me.) One hour to Tacoma and her museums. 45 minutes to Olympia the capital with great restaurants, lots of seafood, (fresh), theaters, symphony and lots of hospitals and physicians. Two hours to Portland Oregon with all of its lovely old homes and hotels. Here we are still offering beautiful acreage for $5-7000 an acre.

Lets see who can top that!! Plus, you can use my private riding arena whenever you wish. Or try the trails on my friends 350 acre tree farm with private lake.

Re: Panic snaps other stuff
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Jean, WOW, That sounds like quite a deal! Mary, can you up the bid? This could get interesting. Steve Steve, I can assure you that a move out West to the fishing Mecca of the US, lakes, streams, rivers and ocean. Plus some of the most beautiful scenery you will ever find. The rain forest is like the jungle, stag, deer, coyotes, bear, etc. Not to mention a clientele ready for you the first day and a good small animal Vet who will house you immediately. There is already a system in place for relief days and weekends. Plus Anne Appleby an hour away and Gayle Ware six hours. How is that for a recruitment project??? I even have the land for you to build on in a quiet neighborhood and land is cheap here. I.e., water bill is $7.50 a month and other such conveniences.

Re: Panic snaps other stuff
This message is from: Mark and Lisa McGinley [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi Mary, When I'm in one of the stalls or in an inclosed space I hook the panic snap to the tie spot and the bull snap to the halter. Someone pointed out to me that if there was a panic situation it would be easier to get to the panic snap if it wasn't right by the horse. BUT If you hook up this way outside and the horse becomes a runaway it has a line or tie connected to it that could be a problem. A friend of my parents down in El Paso had a young horse who took off and the lead line kept slapping him in the flank which made him go even faster. He endend up being injured badly in the ordeal. This was just a lead line without a snap on the end so it didn't weigh as much but I still worry about what a crosstie would do. It could wrap around the feet. So when I'm tying them up outside I do it the opposite. Sorry to hear about your Vet. It seems like he just got there! I'll keep my fingers crossed for you to get another.

If there is a correct way, I belive that your way is the right one. I used to do it the other way around and until Lektra opened her panic snap during the journey by scrubbing it to the barrier in front of her. Fourtunately, she is very used to transportation and didn't turn around or anything.

Panic snaps other stuff
This message is from: Jon Mary Ofjord [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi Listers; Just trying to catch up on all the emails since we were away at Blue Earth. We didn't bring any of our horses, but did transport a stallion for someone else, and helped, and got in the way too! Had a great time seeing old friends and making new ones. Great looking bunch of Fjords at the show evaluation. I have a question for anyone who may care to answer...I have always put a panic snap or trailer tie with the panic snap-end attached to the ring or stationery object, and the bull snap attached to the horse's halter. Some folks do just the opposite, attaching the panic snap to the horse's halter. Is there a correct way to do this? Or is it just personal preferences? I had to chuckle when I read about people losing equipment where they board. While I'm sure losing equipment does happen, I'm forever picking up stray brushes, whips, lead ropes and other assorted stuff left laying around by our boarders. I have a central Lost Found bucket where I put the stray stuff and they can reclaim it when it comes up missing. Our county will also be losing our horse vet. He his family just moved here about two years ago. All of the horse owners in this and the next county were elated to finally have a vet up here. But due to health problems, they have to move back to the big city. WAH! We will be Vet-less In Northern Minnesota again. Any vets out there wanna move up to a cool part of the country? Wonderful people, beautiful area, great horses...well, we can only hope. Carol R..As far as Blue Earth went, all the Green Valley Farm mares placed high, especially at halter evalutaion, and the Rokida Fjord stallions placed high in Halter evaluation, but (IMHO) never the twain shall meet. It was great to see Obie from Starfire Farms and see how well their horses were trained. Those ladies do a great job, along with many others at the show. Gotta go to bed..
