yeah, doc gets soooo depressed. otherwise its abreeze actually, cuz doc doesn't pee in his stall. you have to let him to go to the bathroom and then put him back.
I've got to go--get the laundry switched over, then it's off to bed. Another early day tomorrow! Have a good one.
yeah you have to pick your battles, like with story, he doesn't rear up anymore (knock on wood) so i just ignore hit front end hops. and those are getting less. i don't want to sell him, i hope i sell my about the horse saddle so i can keep him.
I think this is an issue where Piper and I have a truce, and it's going to stay that way. Pick your battles.
He's definitely cribbing, and it's been years now, so it is ingrained. The collar limits it in the stall, but I suspect he hangs out a lot in the shed when he's turned out, getting his fix. Fortunately the rest of the herd prefers grass, so that keeps him away from the shed more in the summer.
He's always been low, but he's not on the bottom, and he has his mare. He's pretty content doing his own thing. And my herd's pretty quiet--he doesn't get picked on.
Yeah--I read that in Equus this week. I don't know what Piper's stressed about. He's got a pretty easy life at the moment.
did you know they think cribbing is a response to gastris or ulcers. cribbing causes excess saliva and saliva has a base in it and helps with the stomack.
Piper's contenting himself right now with trying to sneak in and explore everyone else's stalls, but in the past he was into unfastening any latches and locks he could get to. When I finally foiled him with a padlock, he started cribbing. And he watches for my reaction.
doc likes to pretend he is eating grass and then reach out to the side and step on my foot. when he's mad at me of course...
I have one like that. My Quarterpony Piper is too smart for his own good, and likes to do things just to see if he can get away with it. He watches my reaction.
yep. and its always a smooth straight rip, like the where cut in half....he needs them the most in the pasture too, cuz he's not collected in the pasture.
