spent today on and off a horse in the freezing wind & rain. Will now soak in a tub of scary hot H2O to un-clench shoulders. No film at 11.

Sounds like an adventure! I'm kinda envious.

The results of today's work will be shared with a vengeance when it goes live. Stay tuned...

The filming work, I mean, not the "soaking in the tub thing".

What did you think I'd put you to work doing?

I'm sure the chicken coop needs regular mucking

And horsies require a certain amount of shoveling too, I understand :-)
Gen
2012-02-20T03:31:34.000Z
Depends. If they're in stalls or small paddocks, yes.
Gen
2012-02-20T03:32:48.000Z
Larger paddocks and small pastures are best shoveled with a tractor and large pastures don't need shoveling at all.
Gen
2012-02-20T03:33:09.000Z
The manure tends to itself and just recycles into the dirt.

My parents lied!!! I coulda had a horse if we had a big enough pasture? runs off to call her mom

Momma says a suburban back yard did not qualify as a big enough pasture sigh
Gen
2012-02-20T05:34:14.000Z
Hahahaha, yeah, sorry. When I say "large pasture" I mean a couple of acres.

I've been sortakinda thinking about a goat to help maintain the yard....

Goats are actually good lawn mowers, though you have to make sure they can't get to anything you DON'T want them to eat.
Gen
2012-02-20T17:51:20.000Z
They WILL eat it!.
Gen
2012-02-20T17:52:24.000Z
And it would be better to buy them in pairs because they're herd animals just like horses. Or at least have another herd animal nearby.
Tanarian says
2012-02-20T18:07:17.000Z
Has pack animals. How would I keep them away from the latexy toxic plants?
Gen
2012-02-20T18:09:03.000Z
Uhhh... keep them in an enclosed area that doesn't have latexy toxic plants?
Gen
2012-02-20T18:09:44.000Z
And pack animals aren't the same as herd animals. Has to be another goat or a sheep or horse or something. Goats are best, though.
Tanarian asks
2012-02-20T18:11:19.000Z
Even if they're Herding dogs? That's not close enough, huh. Anyway, the point would be free-range organic mowing, so enclosed = problem.
Gen
2012-02-20T18:12:36.000Z
Eeeek, especially not herding dogs! Herding dogs tend to stress livestock animals out.
Gen
2012-02-20T18:13:13.000Z
And yes, you'd have to keep them enclosed away from anything you don't want them munching on.
Tanarian says
2012-02-20T18:13:15.000Z
Gemma's a friendly herding dog!
Tanarian says
2012-02-20T18:13:33.000Z
Oh well. Probably can't get a license for them in the city anyway.
Gen

I used to keep my horse at a ranch and when I was loading him up on a trailer to take him home, there was a little herding dog mix running
Gen
2012-02-20T18:14:53.000Z
around loose. Not even a purebred or anything. Sweetest dog in the world! He sensed that we were trying to get my horse to do something so
Gen
2012-02-20T18:15:10.000Z
he though he'd "help". He lunged forward and took a nip at Brego's ankle. Drew blood!
Gen
2012-02-20T18:15:20.000Z
Herding dogs around livestock = BAD.
Gen
2012-02-20T18:16:12.000Z
I mean, you can train them to stay away from the animals but there's always going to be that innate sense to "help" you herd them.
Gen
2012-02-20T18:18:21.000Z
Unless of course you have a herd and you actually need a herding dog to help you herd them. :-P
