    The big “50” isn’t so bad.

    in reply to: Saddling an ox…. #57504

    it does work with oxen, just was not sure if it does work with treeless saddles

    in reply to: Saddling an ox…. #57503

    and with a prominent spine…

    I would check really careful if that works with treeless……..
    the other problem: saddles on cattle seem to be sliding frontwards, you need a way to prevent that….
    good luck 😉

    you may want to check the “whoa” post for a solution….

    what about training them to obey commands from behind? gives you a chance to ride on the wagon……

    in reply to: how many horses #56472

    Perhaps Charlie from Germany can shed some light on the large vegetable operation I read a snippet about that switched to horses virtualy over night…

    Jac, can you find that snippet, I’ll try to figure it out…..

    Am I wrong to think that its ethicly wrong to keep cars going when half the worlds starving ???

    no, because I think the same;
    problem is: distribution; in parts of this world there is so much food it is thrown away while in others there is none
    I do cringe when I see wheat being burnt for fuel (shows how cheap it has turned); still can hear my parents “don’t play with food”…..

    it comes up from behind, runs over the top of the head, divides into two straps that run down to the left and right corner of the mouth and usually end in a straight bit, like this one:

    once I get the knack of this computer, I can hitch a team but am rather backward at this 21st century stuff.

    well, I think that qualifies you perfectly 😀
    welcome

    plus I wouldn’t mind if they’d hook up all the training bikes in the fitness centers to generate electricity 😀

    in reply to: Injecting Ivermectin #56110

    about pouring it on the horses back as well to controls flies

    the way ivermectin works, it cannot control flies in the sense of keeping them away from your horse…..

    in reply to: Injecting Ivermectin #56109

    http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/6548469

    had one horse react with terrible phlegmons which took 10 days to recede; microfilaria? allergic reaction?
    grave outcomes have been described in foals younger than 4 months and white horses, seems like their hemato-encephalic barrier isn’t as leak-proof as it should be (signs of intoxication will show within 12 hours and are difficult to treat, because ivermectins will be excreted only very slowly – half life of 1 week); also intoxication can cause temporary blindness
    very often the place of injection will get sore and inflamed

    if there is any money to be saved, why not give injectibles orally? please make sure, the calculated dose is correct!
