We got the equines moved into their new barn a couple weeks back, and are now working on replacing the pasture fences that we had to rip out for barn excavation and construction last summer/fall. Fencing season tends to be a fairly short period between when the ground is too wet/soft to drive the tractor onto, and when the ground gets too dry/hard to get the auger into! How do you store your 2 wheeled carts, do you use a shaft stand or one of those stands that go under the cart My cart is a simple pipe cart (driving animal is an 11.2hh donkey). I store it in my tack room, which has an 8' ceiling. I simply roll it back to the wall, then tip the shafts up until they touch the ceiling---takes up less floor space that way. This would probably not be recommended for a vehicle with wooden shafts.

Re: where is everyone?
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi Jean, no, his brakes are well mounted *lol* But at the time being I had to ride alone (it is nearly dark, when I'm able to go for a ride), and A'simi missed other horses, some days more than others. And so, when I'm not in the saddle but leading him, he is a little bit stubborn, and so, I can tell a new story from yesterday. I'm glad, you cannot see my face when writing this story ... it is as red as my little italian car :-) When I was coming out of the forrest two of the soldiers were looking to my horse. And one of them said to the other: this is a mule! Oh dear, I felt just if I had to fall down ... A mule - my world best pony! So I had to tell them that he is pretty little ears, nothing without his sometime stubborness, which can remember to a mule. The poor soldiers had to listen to my lecture about the Fjord, about ponies etc. ... And when I was coming home, I told my husband what happened. And what did he, who ride our very gentle Arabohaflinger told me, after he could speak (he was laughing nearly 10 minutes): That's what I ever say. A'simi is a mule! I didn't cook anything this evening.

Is everyone enjoying these last days of autumn or am I not getting my list letters? I find this very unusual that out of 400 + members nobody has anything to say. Sorry Carol, I've been too busy enjoying my Fjords : ) Last week I rode every day, which was a first for me. Unfortunately for $ reasons business has been slow, but it's great to have time for one's favorite activities! One major accomplishment was teaching Tommes to neck rein. My goal is to enter more shows, many of which will be open against all breeds and under West Coast rules, which state that any horse over 5 years must be in the curb and ridden with one hand. I've been afraid to try this, but one day I said to myself, this is silly! I can do this as well as anyone else. I've been riding Tommes in a Kimberwicke which is similar to his driving bit, and he goes well in it. After some shopping around, I found a Western curb to fit that big mouth. Off I went with my clicker, my new bit, and knowledge from a riding lesson on proper use of leg aids. After 20 minutes, Tommes would do a lovely turn on the forehand and walking turns in both directions. OK, take a deep breath, put those reins in one hand, and go! I practically had to sit on my right hand to keep it from interfering : ) It didn't take long before he learned to do this as well. Next day, same exercise. It took a few clicks rewards to remind Tommes of the lesson, then he was more than eager to do a repeat performance. The turns on the forehand were SPINS on the forehand. The walking turns were practically pirouettes. OK, now we work on variations of turns : ) as in, just turn left then go straight, turn left then right, big circle/little circle. We ended the lesson with the beginning of sidepass. Yay! So that's what I've been doing instead of writing to the list. As soon as it quits raining, Jack is going to tape me practicing these things front front, side, and back so we can critique.

But I think someone needs to come up with a new idea or query to liven up the list. Hm, dominant mare problems? My mare must be very frustrated as she calls and calls when separated from the boys as I rotate pastures. But when I put her back in with Gunnar she leaves hairless spots on him and threatens him. She does not do that with Charley except that they have a stand off with glares and ears back. She is Holsteiner and twelve. What is the oldest a maiden mare can be bred?

Re: where is everyone
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Good Morning all, I too noticed a very small amount of mail on the list. Even thought we had been taken off for some reason. Glad all are still here. We took our siri to a trainer at the end of August and she was there for several weeks. We had good results and now my wife Ann rides her quite often and feels very comfortable. Normally, she rides one day and I ride the next. With frost in the air, we try to wait till it gets to 60°. We live in the open country and so have many different directions to ride, from along the irrigation canals to around harvested fields. We lock up the animals at night and the miniature donkey, the alpaca, and the pigmy goats all get along with Siri. It is fun to see how they bond. Dave Sperl Othello, WA

This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi Carol Your pigs remind me of our chickens. My husband built our horses nice standing stalls where we feed them. However, the chickens think he build the mangers for them to lay their eggs. It is not unusual for me to go turn the horses out and find a bunch of hay in their manger with an egg in the middle.
