I am sorry to hear that about one of your dogs, but I am sure it was by accident, as horses kick eachother all the time and don't think a thing about it, well maybe not all the time but they certainly endure most contact without much ill effect. I do hope your little mare is playful well into her adult life, as it does make for more entertainment when you aren't able to ride. I never see my older mare play and my youngest one is such a loner in the fields, she will come running to play with me but sadly none of the horses. She usually stands with my draft gelding in the field if she has to have company but that is only when she is in season, not anyother time. My gelding, well he is such a hoot that I will never be bored with him. He is always playing or eating, not much down time for him. I rode him with some friends yesterday and he was in a mood to race and kept trying to get opportunities to bump into the other horses rear sides and take off. He even squeeled once when he wanted to get the other horse going. He hates to go in quarter horse walks on the trail and I love it. I know one day he will get older and feel more like me with the social and visual part being more fun on the ride than the yahoo part of it. He is 9 and still acts like my teenage boys.

Re: [IceHorses] Charm Running
Oh Judy, Charm and Riddari would have so much fun together. Do you think she could actually clear that fence? Bern

Re: [IceHorses] Charm Running
Yes. We've had horses and dogs for 44 years and had only one horse/dog incident, but it was a fatal one. The kids' wonderful pony kicked my even more wonderful greyhound. She went flying through the air and landed on some large rocks I had used to outline a flower bed. The resulting spinal cord injury eventually caused us to have to put her down. We weren't mad at the pony, but I still miss the beautiful and graceful dog. Nancy
Re: [IceHorses] Charm Running
I think she wanted to go on the other side with the dogs, she was definitely interested in their response to her running back and forth past them, what would she do if they were in the pasture area with her to play with?<<< We had a dog, in the past, who was kicked by a horse and dropped dead at my feet, so the dogs are not allowed in with the horses. Beau, the multi-colored dog is ours and generally never bothers with the horses, but Junior, the tan dog, belongs to our daughter and is visiting. He's the instigator and doesn't know that the horses could kill him in an instant. Cookie doesn't pay any attention to the dogs, but Charm is young and easily influenced, I guess. I suspect in a few years she won't bother noticing them. Judy http://icehorses.net http://clickryder.com

Re: [IceHorses] Charm Running
Wow! She's flying. I hate it when they time it so closely at the fence. Nancy
Re: [IceHorses] Charm Running
She's very athletic. I don't think ours have done that much cantering total in the 8 months we've had them here.Of course, they do live on the side of a mountain. I'm about to move Tosca up the road a bit where Hunter boards so I'll have the benefit of a round pen and a riding arena. It looks like she will be sharing a large pen with Lina, our friends' Icelandic mare who has become very fat on very short irrigated pasture. Nancy
