I was riding on our property yesterday, and the neighbors pitt bull-type dog ran up the fenceline(which by the way is on our property, neighbor's mistake/his fence) - growling, barking, snapping his teeth violently. He did this while the horse's back was turned, and the horse bolted. Horse had on a snaffle bit, and was totally caught up in the moment - I intentionally bailed in soft sand to avoid a wreck.

I walked the horse up to the fence and the dog was still going at it. If he could have jumped the four foot fence I have no doubt he would have tried to kill either the horse, or me.

Anyone here have a similar experience? What did you do?

I'm inclined to consider legal options, and all helpful suggestions would be appreciated.

Please don't suggest I talk to this guy, because everytime I've tried, he seems to have his head stuck up his nether region...!

Rather than respond to a question about tick removal, I thought I'd put this sure fire method of removal here, as it is a common problem this time of year.

Rotate that tick - it doesn't matter which direction, but the head has to go around too. Don't just move it back and forth - it has to be in a circle. Don't pull it - that hurts(!) and might leave the head in, cause infections, etc. Works on all animals, including people.

Has anyone used this method and not had it work within 30-60 seconds?

Know any titles you would recommend?

My table top is toasted. Ruined! Does anyone have suggestions/recommendations on suppliers for a replacement? Thanks in advance.

I don't want to ruin a new saddle by letting the seat get wet when it rains, or using the wrong product and having it mess up the leather - or my pants, for that matter. ;)

Scotchguard for ruff out/split leather, or just live with it and try to clean it afterwards? Suggestions appreciated...

Hubby has a '73 trident - with 3 amal carbs. He took off the right side spark plug while it was running, with no noticeable change. Of the three ignition points, which one leads to that spark plug? Help appreciated - we don't have a manual of ANY kind.

My mares thick mane is standing up in places from this. Does anyone have any suggestions/advice in regards products that might keep the other horses off her mane?

Something safe that tastes bad?

I am looking for a trainer for my three year old filly. I went to see one the other day - he seems to be competent, cowboy-type trainer - BUT...

He was drinking a beer before he got on the horse. I have no idea if he had had more beer before the one he was already drinking.

I'm curious as to how many people would take this as a negative thing - I know it has made me think twice about using him. Maybe the horses like the smell of beer, but I'm feeling just a little leary....

My horse has excellent ground manners, is smart and respectful, and I'd hate her to be pushed real hard in a session if I thought he might not have the patience, because of the drinking.

The colt he was working (his own) seemed to have attitude problems - kind of adversarial. Hard to know if he had these problems before.

All thoughtful answers appreciated!

If a democracy is run by the people and an autocracy is run by autocrats, then what is a government run by the media?

I have a qh gelding I'm trying to research. If anyone could see the lineage for a couple of generations back for "Coke's Leo Bar" (0270748) and "Ray's Peggy" (0077416) at AQHA's website, I'd be a very happy camper....! :) Thanks!
