Yesterday I went to the barn and there were two new horses! The guy that I told you about with the horses down the street, Ashley is going to train his mare Ellie and his gelding Bravo! Rawhide likes Ellie and Ellie likes Rawhide! But where's Dancer?
Dancer has been a little moody and has been kicking Rawhide alot....so Ashley put Dancer where the ponies used to be and the ponies are now in the front(ponies meaning the donkey and mini). Ashley told me the other day that Joe(the dude) didn't want RAWHIDE in the pasture with his two horses!!! He wanted Rawhide with Dancer in this .25 acre pasture with 1 stall!!! Dancer is aggressive with food so that wouldn't work out! So Ashley still put Rawhide with his horses and Joe got MAD! Joe was there when Rawhide pinned me up against the wall so he thinks Rawhide is a bad horse! He said" I don't want that pony in there, I rather have the yellow(Dancer) one in there!" When Ashley told me that I said "Only if you want your horses to die!" That's the whole reason Ashley moved Dancer away from his horses and Rawhide!
Now the dominace part...... Ashley was giving them all treats and Rawhide's whole life he's been pushed around..... so when Ashley put a couple treats in Bravo's bowl Rawhide decided to "move up the ladder" so he went in there and started kicking Bravo so he could have his treats! So brave Ashley went in there and made Bravo get out and gave Rawhide a little one on one and she slapped him and Rawhide tried to bite her and knocked her earing out. Finally he calmed down so we left!!!! Miget is trying to dominate the barn!!!!

Hmmmm, interesting story. Well, there will always be problems, I suppose. It's good that Ashley yelled at Rawhide. He most difinetly can't get away with anything. Although, the horses would have probably worked it out, as they are herding animals, but one could have been hurt, so....
As for your poll about how to get Rawhide-SAVE MONEY! I bought 2/3's of Daisy all myself. I got payed for watching (feeding, cleaning) other people's horse's, babysitting, allowence, extra work around the house. Even if you can't babysit, you might be able to do "mother's helper", where you go and watch the child while "mom" is at home, so mom can have "alone time". That's what I did. Or you can watch neighbor's dogs, cats, etc.
Just an idea, to help. I saved money, and then I "showed responsibility" by planning on how I would take care of a horse-boarding, feeding, etc.
Good Luck!
