This message is from: bushnell [EMAIL PROTECTED] This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi List ! Im getting quite a pause over this discussion about pushy Fjords. Im also getting the feeling that with all the alternative methods around to school this behavior I would put in my 2 cents. ( May not be worth even that. ) THAT WAS a good poem Lisa.. I enjoyed the humorous twist. Made me think of Rodney Dangerfield's quip.. I don't get no respect, ..but a bull whip just might do the job all right. =))) Ruthie, nw mt US

This message is from: bolinsj [EMAIL PROTECTED] Yah know, like you said, you gotta do what you gotta do. One day one of my Fjords was being such a pain in the backside that I was driven to desperation and got the whip. I went in the stall with him and beat the living crap out of the back wall of his stall. Got his attention for the rest of that week! What was left of the whip went into the trash., but now when I move to the back wall an make like I'm going to hit it, I still get his attention. (I'm sure he thinks he is just humoring the whacko).

I don't think the whip sends the message I want to give. I want my horse to understand that I want him out of my space. I want him to learn to back off if he gets to forward. I don't want to carry a whip in one hand forever. I made some progress today for the first time I know Loki understands. This was worth taking the time to teach him what I mean. He got into my space today and I said CH. He looked at me and backed off. I was so pleased! I said to myself He gets it!. Of course then I left my wheel barrow to get another fork full of manure. Turned around for a second and his foot was in it. The wheel barrow tipped and I had to pick up the manure again. Oh well I am still making progress!

( My bank account's leaving me cold ) These Fjords it seems are never through From pushing limits with me Running me down for a flake of hay And squashing me like a flea I tried the WAND from Tellington-Jones Sure set me back a bit ! Came inside a nicely wrapped box My husband 'bout had a fit The Fjords, well they pretty much ignored When I waved it in their face Just ate their grain, stepped on my foot And said get out of MY space ! So next I went the Peralli route We really had a blast Did the levels, played all the games Now my foots in a cast. I called in Lyonsand tigars and bears A COURSE is what I need ! One hundred thousand dollars later Im to broke to follow his creed So off I go to the barn tonight To put some Fjords away They spun around, they threw me down All over that #$%^* flake of hay ! Shrake and Clintin can eat my dust Im through with paying these guys My money's safe, my ego is bruised From now on, no more lies ! The BULL WHIP for sale on E-Bay today Seemed just like what I need Things around here are about to change Starting when I go out to feed As Cosby said on that TV show, the beatings have just begun Been a very nice long ride for them Now its MY time for fun ! So Pay Pal I went, next day USPO And outside to see my Fjord look everyone, another stick ! they said Pinning me in the gate they almost looked bored. So I let loose with all my might Rawhide chunks flying left and right They ran ! I circled ! It was a fight No BULL you guysthat whip was light ! It hissed and cracked in the air like FIRE Fjords ducked and dove and flew They couldnt get far enough AWAY from me ! This sure beats black and blue ! No more whispering to these darn fools Its BEATINGS they seem to crave No wand, no stick or games to play MOMS IN CHARGE is all the rave You all can keep your own set of rules Whisper ( shh ) to your Fjords all day Mine only hear when I hollar to them BULLWHIP'S COMMING OUT TO PLAY Lisa ( hiding down here )
