I thought that was Rocky, but I wasn't entirely sure. I didn't know that he cribbed. I was going to have pictures for you guys, but my mother who came with me to snap a few, couldn't figure out how to work the camera. She couldn't figure out what button to push. We'll try again this Friday. :-)
I've been down the Cape on vacation. It was nice, but we had a tropical storm blow in off of Maine with 40-50 mph winds, and rain. It just let up this morning. Before the storm started, I saw a gorgeous full huge double rainbow.

I wonder if there are any people from New England on this thread. On occassion I feel like a sissy east coaster ;-) :-p There's some goreous leave turning starting. I'll post pics once it really gets going. It's odd because leaves are turning more inland than they are towards the coast.

Yeah:(, he's a cribber from way back. He was already doing it before we got him. He was stalled alot.

We almost lost him twice from it. We just finally put him in all hot wire, I even had to run a loop of hot wire over the tops of the t-posts that hold the wire.

One time, before we got it under control, he had cribbed non stop for about 3 days. My son took him to a practice roping, and the guy that ran it told him to take him home because he thought he was colicing. Sure enough he was, As soon as he got out of the trailer here, he just collapased in the front yard. My husband and son went back to the roping.

As long as I sat on a bucket next to him and rubbed his stomach he didn't roll. Did do alot of groaning. I could hear all that air rumbling thru him. Took about 2 hours, then all of a sudden he started farting. I swear he could have made the guiness book of records for the longest non-stop fart. You could see his stomach deflating. My dog was standing at his rear end turning her head from side to side trying to figure out what the noise was coming from there:)/ I was about to roll off the bucket laughing.

He laid there about 5 more minutes then got up and started grazing, then back to cribbing. The day after that is when we put up the hot wire. Since he's been loose in the pasture, I've kept that cribbing collar on him. He'll turn his head sidewise and crib off trees. Hard core:)

I am in Northeast Ohio, so don't feel bad. :) I aways wanted to visit New England in the fall. I hear ya, about the cold weather. There is going to be a big change starting tomorrow. Maybe, even some wet snow on Saturday.
