I followed over from fugly, and really have enjoyed your writing, although I've rarely commented.<br />I am sorry to hear about Jim, there are no words.<br />As far as Brockle the wonder dog, I agree with MaryDVM; Brockle won't fail to protect you.

I have about a gnat's worth of computer knowledge, so I have no idea how to 1. ask to be included in your followers and 2. would love to have you check out my own blog. I'm not a spammer!<br />Just a middle aged (well...trending more to the high side than middle) woman who got back into horses a few years ago and am still trying to learn to sit the trot. I will confess to having cut and snipped a photo from your blog to use on my own, and I apologize for not asking your permission first. <br /><br />I don't do dogs...I am allergic to them...but my barnlord has about leventyseven million of them (she breeds and shows them) and so as long as they leave their hair on their own bodies and off mine, I am fine. <br /><br />My condolences on losing your beloved husband. I am so very lucky to be married to probably the finest human being I've ever known, and this was after my first two strikes. I guess I finally learned that the big L on Husband's 1 and 2's foreheads did not mean Lucky!<br /><br />anyway, please, I would like to be one of your followers.<br />Thank you, <br />KhutulanKhutulanhttp://thehorsemadscientist.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4380534023229200743.post-71551208458483777102018-02-18T12:32:52.066-07:002018-02-18T12:32:52.066-07:00^^^ My gelding forgets he's attached to his h...^^^ My gelding forgets he's attached to his hind end, too! Once the weather here in Michigan breaks, I'll be working on that.<br /><br /><br />Dog related: I just acquired a 2 year old Aussie! I love him, but he challenges me in a different way that my 11 year old GS mix does. He's smart and very much wanting to be physically attached to me. We are doing great but there are challenges are taking a dog that has been outside at a boarding/roping barn for two years and teaching him to wait for 10 hours in the house until someone comes home. I'm lucky I keep my horses at home and we spend an hour in the am before I go to work outside, and then when I get home for a few hours (he gets let out with my other dog by my husband when he gets home before me). He's gets toys that he does not get when I am home in the am, but has still done some minor furniture corner remodeling (I have stocked up on bitter apple), and the cardboard cat scratchers are gone...but other than having some difficulty adjusting to being alone during the day (he is with my other dog and the 8 cats, so just without humans), he's been great - even leaves the free ranging chickens alone! I was told he does not stay in a crate, so I have not tried. I have him because he would not work cattle, and while his previous owners were not actively looking for a home, when they heard I was considering another dog, offered him to me.<br /><br />I will be so happy to read your dog thoughts so I can apply them to him in the same way I apply what you shared with my horses!HorsesandTurboshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08283172272184612747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4380534023229200743.post-72114035574107709092018-02-17T08:06:27.728-07:002018-02-17T08:06:27.728-07:00Somebody is trying to get me to work.

I have a horse training question for you....Hi Mugs! I have a horse training question for you... ecstatic to see you back posting. I've been following your blog for *gasp* almost a decade! Happily sift through your old posts and apply what I can to my own horses, it truly is an amazing resource. Anyways, if you aren't interested or don't have the time to field questions, totally understand, I'm happy to read any of your writing whether it be about horses, dogs, or life! <br /><br />Otherwise, I have a 17hh gelding who retired from racing last year, had 6 months downtime, starting him back in to work now. He is really short coupled, built to go uphill but has learned on the track to move down, not up. If I let him happily go around on the buckle, he will drop his nose to the dirt like a peanut pushing pleasure horse and trot around to his heart's content. Heavy on the forehand with me feeling like we're about to go arse over teakettle if he takes an awkward step. To set him on his hocks I've started teaching him to whoa from my seat (he's used to relying on his rider's hands to hold him up through the downwards transitions). Also working on rollbacks at the walk, lengthening and shortening the stride walk/trot, I don't give him contact to lean on, and we are basically leaving the canter until he's more balanced. I get moments of true brilliance, and can see the light at the end of the tunnel in those moments, but would love to hear about any exercises you use to re-introduce a horse to his hind end and remind him that it's attached to the rest of him.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4380534023229200743.post-15505922610657831682018-02-09T15:30:32.285-07:002018-02-09T15:30:32.285-07:00I also have a rat terrier and selfishly want to he...I also have a rat terrier and selfishly want to hear more about yours....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
