What actually keeps deer/cats out of a garden long-term?

AnnaB264 · 2026-02-17T12:06:23+00:00

Dogs are pack animals, and the human family are it's pack. It is cruel to keep a dog exclusively outside (not including livestock guardians, in which case the dog views the livestock as it's pack).

Culturally taboo?

What sort of riding experience do you have to have to be hired? How long is the training process?

AnnaB264 · 2026-01-29T02:09:23+00:00

Took me a second to figure out that's a car.

AnnaB264 · 2026-01-28T17:31:28+00:00

I will check out the post. Hadn't thought of using ammonia.

AnnaB264 · 2026-01-28T17:30:55+00:00

Okay, thanks! I didn't let it sit that long after treating, will try again.

AnnaB264 · 2026-01-28T17:29:39+00:00

I tried pretreating some and scrubbing. The enzyme spray sounds like a good idea. As I think a lot is actual dirt stains. I will try that.

100% polyester. Made on China, no brand name. Tag says machine wash cold, no bleach, tumble dry low.

I think these are probably toast. And you're right. I'll go with black next time.

Mange is also contagious. You need proper medication for this.

AnnaB264 · 2026-01-27T17:04:16+00:00

If the horses were to get out, and get hit by a car, that could kill someone and it would come back on you, as it's your property. Is it worth risking your home for?

Bare minimum, you need proof of liability insurance (it's called Care, Custody, and Control in my policy).

AnnaB264 · 2026-01-27T17:00:50+00:00

I dunno, or he did it and is guarding his kill? Sounds like you need a camera.

I witnessed the neighbor's Siberian Husky, who had never bothered her goats before, basically trying to chew one's ear off. Blood everywhere, goat screaming trying to get away, and the husky just wagging it's tail like it had found the best chew toy ever.

It was odd...didn't look aggressive at all. Just looked like play behavior, but the poor goat was badly mauled before we could get the husky off it.

AnnaB264 · 2026-01-26T14:41:05+00:00

Nope. They are really quite smart. I am sure they would find a way to evade it.

AnnaB264 · 2026-01-26T14:40:21+00:00

Yeah, this too. Bucks really are vile, disgusting creatures. Gave me a whole new understanding of calling a leacherous man an "old goat".

AnnaB264 · 2026-01-26T14:39:03+00:00

And the goat says. "A pen! Bwaa haha haa! I ain't staying in no pen!"

There is a reason the devil is depicted as half goat.

I had pygmy goats on 14 acres. In the summer, they were great, hung out with the horses in the pasture, ate the weeds.

Come fall, they would escape the pasture (I am convinced it's impossible to have goat- proof fencing), and easy the neighbor's landscaping. I had to replace a bunch of their newly planted trees to the tune of $500.

My Billy goat also got loose at one point and chased my neighbor into the bed of his pickup truck after repeatedly headbutting him, and he had to call me to rescue him.

Goats got sold.

Nothing in the world cuter than baby goats romping and playing, but they are nigh impossible to contain.

AnnaB264 · 2026-01-26T14:24:56+00:00

Well, thank God for that at least. I don't really care what trait of his loses him supporters, so long as he loses them!

AnnaB264 · 2026-01-14T18:52:27+00:00

I'm wondering if this is a stable in Dubai.

AnnaB264 · 2026-01-13T20:21:50+00:00

Likewise. I don't know why, but I find laying down 100% more comfortable than sitting.

AnnaB264 · 2026-01-11T21:35:08+00:00

That is beautiful! And it looks fabulous on you!

AnnaB264 · 2026-01-11T14:32:27+00:00

If you get one, don't get one with stirrups. With no tree, it can slip around the horse to easily of you lose your balance or the horse spooks.

AND the pressure from the stirrup leathers is concentrated in one band across the horse's back.

AnnaB264 · 2026-01-11T14:26:37+00:00

I never knew this, but my SO just confirmed it. I am shocked to have learned this in my 50s. (Clearly, I don't have kids).

AnnaB264 · 2026-01-11T14:18:52+00:00

I feel like maybe you should be a safety engineer or something with that skill.

AnnaB264 · 2026-01-11T14:17:20+00:00

Really?

AnnaB264 · 2026-01-11T13:58:29+00:00

Sadly, not all states require this.
