I was also going to comment on your pile of rocks... gonna build a rockery or something?

I have rocks that surface here... but mostly just small rounded glacial till kind. Nothing ~that~ large! - Thankfully, cuz I don't have a cat to push rocks around with!

Well..... back to mowing - back in a couple hours.

No...LOL, not going to build a rockery. I've done everything I can creatively around here with rocks. Now I just pile them up. Mack keeps wanting me to spread them out some or has even talked about hauling them off. But I don't want him too. That is a testimony to the amount of work I have done around here:). I want to see how high I can get it.

Oh, want to add something to the tieing up thing.

If you have a horse that is doing good, standing tied, riding, everything, DON'T tie them up and leave them for long periods. It's a discipline tool that you use when having a problem. Most problems with horses is making them understand WHO is in control. They need to learn that when they have a halter, saddle, on THEY are not in control but the person or thing (tree), on the other end of the bridle, rope. A tree cannot be hurt, a tree will not move. Kind of like the hot stove theory. When you touch a hot stove it burns you, every time, it does not apologize. So you learn NOT to touch it. If you don't touch it it won't burn you. A horse learns it is controlled when halter and saddled when tied to an immovable object.

But like I said don't discipline a horse that doesn't need it. Save the tool for when you do.
