Could it have been a flying pace?? Once out in the pasture he and
Djangi were racing around and all of a sudden he switched into another
gait and just flew. I could not actually see the pace, just the rythmn
but it was not a gallop and that was what it had to be. I saw my
glefsa do it a month or so ago and it was jsut so fast. I have only
ridden it once and it was very smoth.

What has been so phenomenal here in San Diego County
is the cooperation, communication and coordination of
all emergency agencies as well as with private
citizens.  The reverse 911 calls, and EARLY evacuation
notices have saved inumerable lives of both humans and
animals.  It is a fantastic undertaking, and efforts
are being rewarded.  Fiesta Island near Sea World is
now a haven for horses!!  There are even horses down
in Point Loma and Shelter Island, right next to the
water!!  Positive attitudes are shining...  Gail

RE: [IceHorses] Dog available

Anneliese,


Here are some pictures of pit bulls.  I did some searching and blue eyes
generally aren't desired in the breed, but they do occur.  If the dog is
young, her head won't have achieved its full broadness - note the picture of
the puppy on this page - picture 1A.
http://www.apbtconformation.com/NEECF.htm  Note that the white chest and leg
markings are really common in that breed.


We once picked up a "lab mix" puppy who grew up to be apparently a full pit
bull.  (She was mostly black with just a little white on her chest.)  I had
no idea how different the dogs look when they are young. I can't say that
the dog in the picture is indeed a pit bull - a lot depends on her age.
But, I sure wouldn't rule out her being at least a cross, possibly even
pure.  Maybe not, but it was the first breed that crossed my mind when I saw
her picture.  Of course, a single picture can be misleading.


Is she black or chocolate?  She's young?  About how big?  If she's under
about 3 months, the blue eyes could still turn amber.

 To me she looks like the typical hybrid people breed for mushing or
dryland sports. Often a hunting or hound and husky cross. Which may explain
the blue eyes.

She looks like she could likely be a young pit bull (full) or pit bull/bird
dog cross to me.  Those markings are pretty common in pit bulls - don't know
about the blue eyes though.  Pit bulls don't generally get the really broad
skulls until they are mature.


Most of the stray dogs in our area seem to have a good percentage of pit
bull and/or chow in them...

We have 2 active lava flows going on right now1 really is not an
issue for us, but there is a new one that started a few months
back...We have been able to see the RED glow at night from our
round pen.It probably will not come towards our land, but it can
cut off our highway that connects us to Hilo   (if the rate of flow
stays the same, it would take 4 years to cross the highway, its about
6 miles from the highway now...however if the lava changes from A'a
which is slow moving to the very fast pahoehoe, it could cross the
highway in a matter of days)  ..we would not be able to get out
of here to work.we would have to relocate on the other side of
the flow so we could get to our clients.  If that happens, one
unfortunate thing is that our road, which is the historic old
railroad from the 1800's would be used as an evacuation route, it
would have major upgrades and eventually get paved.I would be
saddened.we would move.  But the price of our land would go up
immensleywe would probably move to Florida, a very horse
friendly state.

Anyway, we are always prepared, I have an extra inverter, an old
trailer that is UGLY, but can carry our horses and other belongings,
with the truck and trailer I could move what I neededwe also have
a Berky light water filter, it is a BIG countertop model, it will
filter any type of water for drinking...that will defintley come with
us..but we live in a state of being prepared, I guess thats what
of the side benefits of living off grid.I could install my solar
panels on my trailer roof and live out of that if I had to!


If you've never seen what a lava flow can do, imagine everything in
its path is burned, then covered up with HARD rock. (sometimes up to
20' in depth)  Nothing can grow for years.and years.

Of course I can live with this, but to live where there are

I just thought of something funny that someone said this weekend.  I
rode with my friend and her dad, who I have ridden with for years and
years.  We were talking about Tivar being a "finished" horse like my
Jaspar, and how nice it is when a horse is like that, reliable, can
take them anywhere etc.  and he said yes, it was such a loss that his
horse died of snakebite because she was a horse like Jaspar, that we
rode, together many times, when jaspar was a heathen and his Sophie
was a heathen, and between us both we broke many bones.  But nicole
(autistic) pipes up and says "you know on the highway when someone
dies they put up a little white cross.  they oughta put up little
white crosses on riding trails where people have fallen off their
horses!"  and her dad says "well if they did that where me and janice
have ridden Nicole it would look like arlington cemetery.  No one
could have room to ride their horses on the trails for all the little
white crosses."  hahahahha
that was a good one.  bless his heart.  and now he is riding a
complete maniac heathen arabian mare.  I had to spend the whole ride
making sure teev did not get too close cause she would fire off a kick
at him.  sigh.  it will take at least a year, most likely two, of
constant riding and work for her to become a "finished" horse.

with stonewall, my main nutcase at the time, I find if I can get a
handle on things before he escalates into full blown crazy I have a
chance, and what I have to do is not let him get away with even the
most MINOR thing.  I will elbow him hard, jerk his lead, take a sharp
thumb and jam it in his chest and make him walk backwards several
steps, every step talk grouchy to him.  I know that sounds mean.  if i
did it to any of my other horses they would be devastated, but I have
to be MORE mean to him to get his attention, but once I've lost him,
he's lost.  Just dangerous.  Also, another thing is if one training
method isnt working, try another.  That was a breakthru I had with
Fox.  being firm was making him worse, so I switched to lots of sweet
talk and rewarding with treats.  Tivar will do ANYTHING for me if he
smells a treat in my pocket.  I am sure he fantasizes the whole ride
about the juicy moment he will be able to have it :)  He will reach
and sniff me and when he smells it, relax, lick and chew, cause man,
he knows that treat has his name on it at the end when he has been a
good boy :) haha.  What I am doing with stonewall isnt working.  I am
going to try parelli now with him.  He needs confidence.

But any time one of my horses starts walking over me I jam a sharp
thumb in the chest and make them walk back a few steps.  But sounds
like you tried that :)  I dont know what to do about the buddy sour
thing!  Stonewall has that but luckily it isnt one particular horse as
long as he isnt alone he is fine.  Sounds tho, like stonewall, he
needs confidence.  They say parelli stuff is good for confidence and I

When we had the long power outage from a huge ice storm back in 2000, we

for even the tractor we had then to cross, so we had to walk it on very
slick ice, one or two buckets at a time.  But, it worked.   It reminded me
that many horses DO regularly drink from ponds.  I'd still love to be able
to dump my water troughs daily, or at least every other day, but I have to
be realistic.

This takes a bit of getting used to, but the dog is happy and healthy 
and loved--I think that's what counts.

I was poking around re: the fires. There is one up by Kaaren Jordan's 
too, north of Solvang. It was about 50% contained as of last pm I 
think, but still many were evacuated there. Hope she is okay.

Janice - your disorder is called a big heart and a loving personality.
 When I saw that clip of the family with their dogs in the back of the
truck and the horse tied to the bumper, I know that they had
everything they loved in that truck - not material possesions but the
ones that count - it just tore me up .

Janice,

It is your compassionate heart that causes you to grieve for the
unprotected.  I had a woman who did the hiring for the  drivers who drive
the Special Ed buses in our district.  She said she chose people who kept
animals.  She apologized for how that sounded, but she said the same desire
to nurture and protect  usuallly carried  over into all areas of a person's
life.

If you ever really needed to do some family nursing, you'd be in there with
both boots.

I saw a clip on the news this morning in CA of a pickup truck with 3
dogs in the back and a horse tied to the bumper winding down a road
with bumper to bumper traffic. That and all of our list friends
dealing with this really brings it home.  It's so frutsrating to not
be able to do anything to help.  All of you are in my thoughts.

This did motivate me to review our emergency evacuation plan.  I have
a list of places to go with the animals in all directions, I have
emergency water always ready to go. Since I don't have a trailer, I
have a list of people with trailers to call that have agreed to come
if I needed them, I have dog and cat crates ready, I have food ready,
I have a list of all the things I would need to throw in a bag to
take, etc.  But the one thing I realized I  forgot was to plan for the
humans so I sat down and made that list, too.  We are much more likely
to need to be prepared for power outages and that type of weather
emergency but you never know.  I just like to be prepared.

OC fairgrounds are closed.  There is a wonderful place in Winchester
(inland) that is well out of any harm's way.I sent you his phone number by
private mail yesterday.

I still can take 5 or 6 horses and dogs, too.  Bedroom is now open (was
being used last night for an evacuee).

Gail,

The info I gave you about possibly evacuating to Trabuco Canyon...forget 
it. I've been talking to friends there and they voluntarily evacuated 
their horses yesterday as there is a fire burning in nearby Silverado 
Canyon (set by an arsonist!!) and very near Cook's Corner. I'm just 
thinking off the top of my head of coastal stables...some other possible 
evacuation areas are:

Laguna Woods Equestrian Center (the old Leisure World still has a stable 
and is accepting horses)

OC Fairgrounds in Costa Mesa

Hansen Dam Equestrian Center (above LA)

LA Equestrian Center near Burbank

El Toro Stables? (the old marine base might still have their 
stables/corrals/pens up - it's in Irvine).

Huntington Beach has a stables

Nellie Gail Ranch in Mission Viejo

It seems that it might be better to stick close to the coast as you 
drive away from the fires. 

My prayers are with you all...what a terrible fright this is. 

Trish

I saw them interview someone on tv who's house was burned and they
said where they were was "horse country" and it showed horses running
around crazy with flames all around.  I felt terrible!  I dont know
whats wrong with me.  I have a disorder I guess.  After hurricane
katrina I had a brother who lost everything he had worked for all his
life and his family had to go separate ways and live different places
for a whole year, then the victims displaced began to move into our
area, living in RVs in the walmart parkinglot for godssakes.  I felt
bad for them, terrible, I helped all I could.  but then one day on the
front page of the newspaper, it was a half page picture of a little
scuffy dog with a collar, in the middle of devastation.  So obviously
hurt and confused and wondering where his people were, I collasped in
grief over it.  I still can't picture his little face without tearing
up.

I guess I have a mental disorder they havent named yet, st. francis
complex or something!  So many people, like Nancy, do so much good for
fellow humans, but nursing people scares me.  If someone is terribly
ill I have to leave the room i just cant take it.  but a mangy wounded
horse with gaping wounds and maggots, hey, I am THERE  I am just
very weird.  But these horses in the fire film on tv, it is KILLING
me
