That makes perfect sense to me. I have considered getting a few goats, but have no fence and that would cost more than mowing. Besides the wife won't eat "pets"

The true definition of a Redneck is a feller who brings a bar of soap to his Baptism.

Hey Roy all you gotta do is tie the goats to a stake then move the stake as they get an area cleaned off. I'm a true redneck I've thought this out.

I am a little concerned about dogs, mine included when we let him off the chain, and the distinct possibility of them wrapping themselves around a tree and strangling.

I tried that a couple of years ago. I turned my horses out in my yard, hoping to mow and fertilize at the same time. They promptly walked over to my truck and leaned against the side mirror until it broke off. It was a power mirror on a new Ford truck. There was a perfectly good five year old Dodge truck sitting right behind it. I guess paints prefer Ford trucks. My wife was not amused. Now I mow the yard with a lawnmower and fertilize it with my tractor. I hope nothing like this happens to you. But if it does, please post back so that I can show my wife that I am not the only one who would think of doing this...

Loose horses and vehicles don't mix. We parked our 95 Dodge 3500 in the pasture one night and the red horse with the white socks sampled the paint. Even though the paint on this truck is in bad shape, James was not amused.

Four wheel drive self propelled lawnmowers. Runs on natural gas, just add water.

Our horses may be related. My son came to visit us one day to show us his new red camaro. He had not even made the first payment yet. We were saddling the horses when he came. One of them followed me when I walked over to his car. She decided the red paint looked like an apple, I guess, as she reached over and took a large bite on the fender. She sort of just scraped her teeth along on it. Needless to say my son was horrified. He said now you know why I do not care for horses. I prefer transportation that requires fuel and not hay. (He was nice about it and said that is also why he has insurance.)

Nancy Howell[/quote]ed horse with the white socks

During my riding days I thought the name for that color was 'blood bay' not red but I could be wrong. You have some nice looking horses.

Blood bay with black points and socks to be correct, but I don't know how many folks on this forum have horses and know the correct color terminology so I just said red.

The "brown" horse is actually a brown bay with black points.

One blood bay, one sand bay, one brown bay and one grey.

If you want to start an argument, use sorrel. There is lots of discussion over what is a sorrel and what is a chestnut.

P.S. - bay is the most common color for horses and has many variations.

Riding and viewing. Its very satisfying to watch your animals peacefully grazing.

Its also quite a thrill to watch them play when the weather is cool.

The grey is an Arab and moves as easy as water running down hill. It almost gives me chills when he gets "wired up" and runs and plays. He is so graceful he makes running look like effortless floating. He is the horse that I ride the most.

P.S. - James doesn't ride, just grows the hay to feed them.

Babies are the worst ones........ I left my Jeep Wrangler in the pasture unattended for about 30 minutes and the windshield seal and 2 fender flares were shot along with a corner of the hardtop. Gotta love em.

Around here, sorrel is "red" with blond (palomino color) points, chestnut is "red" with red, bay is "red" (or brown) with black. Same there?

You're right about leaving rigs in the field- teeth marks in the paint, busted anything-they-can-scratch-on, and especially, perfect horse-mouth-shaped bites out of the nice new yellow foam JD seat.

Don't know very much about horse electronics.

On which end should I start looking; the "gozenta" or the "gozouta"?

Had my first horse (shetland) at age 5; mean, honery little devil.

My older sister had a quarter horse; 1/4th horse - 3/4ths jackazz.

I would climb up on the wooden gate and he would walk over to me.

I'd crawl over on his back and he would walk along the fence a ways and come back and let me off.
