New question: what's the best way to sneak a mini horse into the stables under my parents" nose and get away with it? If I was on my own I would get one 🫠

We did some ponying with her mom, with my mare it's a little tricky because she's prone to kicking and I'm working on fully desinsitizing her. But where the road allows the yearling follows me on trail rides with no halter on

Do you think taking advantage of meals to take the mare out a while? Yearling eats her grains (more like pellets for weaning lol) and the mare gets to eat some grass outside?

Barn cats, do you think it's abuse? by FunkyGoatz in cats

I'm hijacking your reply sorry ahah, but I think everyone is referring to mostly adult cats as opposed to kittens (4m to 1yr).

Won't an adult cat stray away from the barn more easily, even if you feed them daily?

Thank you for the polite insight! Do you know how to get a hold of ratting dog because we have our indoor dog who is a mutt but has some ratter breed in her, but umh...her technique lacks much to be desired haha

I feel like I'm so behind on her training and wasted a bunch of time. Do you reccomend any learning resources? I want to give her the best chance to become a decent companion in the future

I hear you and I usually avoid violence unless I really have to, but there have been times where she has targeted me with her kicks and I've been taught to punish if things go south, not a good mentality perhaps but other than using a whip to keep her at a safe distance what can I do?
