Only thing I can figure is, being milked or not, they smell different or their spots cause an optical illusion.<br /><br />No goats nearby, however there is a guard llama the next road over... right where I hope to ride this summer. <br />That should be fun *sarcasm totally intended*<br /><br />Honestly, part of the reason we got Rootbeer was to help desensitize our horses to minis. Every year there are some at finals and every year 'big horses' f.r.e.a.k.o.u.t. over them.cdncowgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09055181472294995601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6550515326326288148.post-87464644020421375632011-01-27T20:34:23.695-07:002011-01-27T20:34:23.695-07:00Exactly what I was about to say, BECG!

Not so sure. A rabbit spooked her one day as her former home was coyote heavy and rabbit low. Oh, and headlamps.

Moon has never been an 'easy keeper'. He is one of those horses that can go to hell while standing in knee deep hay 24/7. Very high metabolism. Now that he is getting enough fat in his diet so that he has some energy. We've been working on getting Moon's system up to par for several years now. First we got his teeth straightened out, then treated him for ulcers and then added a supplement to treat him for hypothyroidism. Everything has helped and he has definitely looked better over the last couple of years, but he still lacked sustainable energy. I really noticed that last summer. Several barrel runs, I could feel he had nothing left by the time he was headed for home. Can't win, if your horse can't run.<br /><br />Trying to up his energy level through cereal grains and/or alfalfa wasn't really working either. I noticed a lot of highs and lows in his behavior. Sugar rushes if you will. He'd be goofy as all get out and then just crash and go back to dragging his feet.<br /><br />With the Rice Bran, he is getting all the fat his system needs and seems to have a more sustainable energy level. He's also on a lot of beet pulp. The fiber in that seems to fill him up whereas he never seems to get full on hay. And this way, I don't have to feed him a lot of oats. That I can build up when we can really get to riding. I dunno, but he sure seems a lot more content than he was before...however, he is still a mean-ass to everything else. He just cannot help that-LOL.BrownEyed Cowgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03610547057139295854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6550515326326288148.post-56568270582701333972011-01-27T19:22:34.420-07:002011-01-27T19:22:34.420-07:00LOL at Turk.

My daughter and her pony caused an entire arena full of roping horses to go ballistic one time. I have never seen so many fat, old men grabbing for leather as when she trotted in that arena on that little black and white pony. It looked like a full-on wild horse race in no time flat. <br /><br />Megan? <br /><br />Totally oblivious to the utter chaos and panic her and Mighty Mouse were causing.<br /><br />I had to chase her down and get her the heck out of there.<br /><br />Nm-I feel bad for ya living where you can't even ride down your road. There is a little traffic on this road, but everyone is very polite. They slow down, We move over, they move over. Everyone waves. I cannot wait for the big ditches to dry out. We will be able to ride miles along the road then and not have to worry about traffic. Also, we can ride the other direction, ride over the overpass and have miles and miles of riding area in The Monument. I can't wait for that!BrownEyed Cowgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03610547057139295854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6550515326326288148.post-64995017900949142762011-01-27T18:30:07.893-07:002011-01-27T18:30:07.893-07:00Who are you kidding?

(llamas, however, did get Percy) LOL It's going to take you some time to live this down and I clearly recall you said BOTH horses not just Turk. ROFLMO<br /><br />I sure wish I could find a darn saddle that did NOT slip back. Also one with a short enough skirt for my herd. Glad to hear this one fits Moon. <br /><br />Rice bran really shouldn't give him more zip, just more glow. If that makes sense. Although the flax is supposed to have omega 3's I think. That shouldn't add more zip either but definitely should make him healthier. Maybe he just feels better. That would definitely be good.Rising Rainbowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04239592070775412669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6550515326326288148.post-16626061857666327522011-01-27T18:00:00.802-07:002011-01-27T18:00:00.802-07:00Ahh !

I couldn't even do that on my dead end dirt road here because the traffic is so bad. I haven't tried my hand at riding this year yet. I've just been doing groundwork. Of course an 18-wheeler with the name McKillican on the side had to pull up to deliver something to a neighbor's house right when I was taking a horse for a walk. Someone may as well have put a brick wall in front of us, because he wasn't budging at the sight of that truck.Nuzzling Muzzleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07649710635013663900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6550515326326288148.post-73394218838242875942011-01-27T17:03:11.602-07:002011-01-27T17:03:11.602-07:00Loved this - thanks for the belly laugh!!!
