No, not in a true sense.. we just turn them out together since they're not inclined to hurt each other. > The only way I get Spot and Casey going > is to turn them out with Dub - he's always ready to rile ANYONE up after > being confined in his stall. Well after a long confinament.. or if it's really cold and Tush is in heat.. she'll get going and I'll have to stop her and pull her out.. She's inflamed the growth plate in one of her knees a couple of times already from getting carried away.. so it's something I have to watch till next year. They're actually stalled on oposite sides of the stable. > BK> Will have to watch Straw.. Tush is in heat (as is > BK> Mom).. I don't want him to get any ideas.. > Straw is a gelding?

Well Straw got cut late... and he's tried to mount another filly.. he's only started to drop twice with Tush and got snarled at by me.. ;) He's listening to me.. so.. ;) BK --- DB A3000sl/001347 * Origin: * Conniption BBS * one fit at a time (1:102/861) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 243 HORSES Ref: DGJ00015 Date: 12/13/96 From: MEG ALFONI Time: 07:59am \/To: VICKI NICHOLS (Read 2 times) Subj: Test?
