Another vote for ID before eradication. The Northern Watersnake is far more common than the moccasin and looks very similar to the moccasin.

But it is harmless.

It has a very large range in...

Yeah - he comes across the cornfield, eats the apples in my orchard, and then goes down into the bottom and hangs out. Horses don't bat an eye unless they get a wild hair up their butts.... and...

Don't I wish.... the most gorgeous movement I've ever seen in my horses usually happens when the local bear wanders by and they run around pretending to be all scared and then get each other all...

And we could go to the museum too! It's all one easy walk.

It's a date - give me a few weeks notice so I can dye my roots and start purging. :D

I'm allowed to shop in Middleburg - but I have to use the back entrances. Evidently their zoning ordinance prohibits anyone with a BMI over 18 to be seen on Main Street.

It works out because the...

Yeah - it can't be fun galloping and realizing you're going to pass out; or people think you're on drugs or drunk. :no: Glad so many of you have your blood sugar under control.

I admit to being...

Thanks, Deltawave. Again - wasn't questioning whether or not you were giving good advice to patients so I hope no one took it that way, especially you.

I'm pretty sure there is disagreement...

OK.

You first.:cool:

DLee - thanks.

FlyingChange - I'm so very sorry about your parents. My father suffered a stroke but was back on his boat within a couple of weeks. The only evidence of his stroke was a slight...

Thank you for the response - I was afraid no one would.

You raise some points which I find interesting - because I think there is a disconnect. For the people you mention who were told (by their...

I loved your post!

Since some folks still seem to be focused on coming back after injury - rather than private lives or other inappropriate subjects..... I'd very much like to get y'alls input. I...

ChocoMare reminded me that this is called "Floop" (flying poop)

It's a take on "Flig" (farmers term for a flattened piglet; sows often smoosh their babies)

I took it further and dubbed a...

No personal offense to you or your trainer - but it's being mentioned again and again because it is such a very very very very very very bad thing.

As in - so basically a bad thing that it's...

Kenike -

I read your post with interest. I think you might like this book that just came out - it's called "Where the Wild Things Were", by Will Stolzenburg.

It's all about the rethinking of...

I don't get the whole TB/Draft thing either - but I also have two in my barn so that makes me a bit of a liar.

And my 16 year old draft cross eventer turned dressage horse turned foxhunter just...

That was my point so many pages ago. Yes, they CAN. So can an Arabian, Draft Cross, or Morgan, etc. They can physically execute the movements within the confines of their conformation and build. ...

Since you're always going to have weeds, and you prefer not to spray or don't have the equipment, maybe a couple of goats might do the trick.

I don't know what your situation is - but goats can be...

I think your post is entirely reasonable. (I cut parts of it out just to make my post a bit shorter; not to quote you out of context.)

If there was some organized protesting over real or imagined...

My understand is that trainers do know what to expect. They expect that the USDA is going to verify that they haven't sored their horses.

And since they know the USDA is going to catch them -...

This lady appears to take really good care of her horse, loves him dearly, and seems to have an enviable rapport with her horse.

She doesn't seem to be making any claims that the horse is suited...

Actually, I do respect everyone's opinion. I'm merely attempting to explain how some management decisions are made, and how various groups have competing interests.

Since the only information...

I don't see how their possible potential as a riding mount has anything to do with land and range management.

These are separate matters. If a person believes these animals are good riding...

:no:

No - I'm not kidding! Though I think the 6.5 in an eggbutt might work better.

I did say they have gigantic heads, didn't I? :D

And no - I do not believe this horse is capable of...

I didn't jump to any conclusions... hon.

I asked a question.
