I really had a hard time thinking of new catagories, well here they go....

First one..I want to see all the different ways you guys train and desensitize your horses. Do you make them stand on a tarp, hang things from their faces, have them drag things around. I want to see what they have learned this summer, especially the babies. We all might just get some different training ideas.

Since I do guinea pig rescue, I want to see all your non dog, cat or horse pets. I want to see how many different types we have living here in Horsetopia.

And last, I know its HOT and DRY. But do we have any gardens that have survived? Pretty flowers or yummy veggies??

nomeanjean · 08-02-2006, 10:44 AM

Well, I will go first. Here is one for other pets our mollucan cockatoo "Ceasar"

bettymo · 08-02-2006, 10:57 AM

Here's one for Non Dog, Cat or Horse Pets... It's our 3 goats...

And here's my very hot, dry, sad flowers...

**Diamond_Y** · 08-02-2006, 02:39 PM

I raise all my flowers from seeds during the winter, then transplant them outside in the sprint. Looks like I am growing weed under grow lights.

This one is the flowers around my flagpole

And this is outside my backdoor

tnahorses · 08-02-2006, 04:08 PM

I will have to get some more to you shortly.

Equine-fStop · 08-02-2006, 05:59 PM

Hey All! What great pictures!

Here are a few from South Carolina:

Non-Horse Pets:
I don't know if this counts, but these things might as well be pets! They will come right up to us and we have to cover our ears!!!

And here's Kim with an Alpaca!

And here are two for flowers:

We'll get pics of the horses later!!

nadia · 08-02-2006, 11:18 PM

banjo's mom · 08-03-2006, 09:13 AM

WOW! We've got some great photos on here!

Here's my pygmy nanny, Button, giving kisses!

And here's my sister working with a Quarab Mare, Dish. One of our desensitizing methods is to run the horses through the campground next to the stables.

Dish spooked when I threw this hat in front of her, so we stopped and let her check it out.

Sundance · 08-03-2006, 09:45 AM

For a minute there, I was afraid I wouldn't be able to enter this month! Then I remembered my sheepers!

**Promise Ranch** · 08-03-2006, 01:41 PM

While taking photos of our sad, dry flowers I decided to look at Hubby's watermelon vine that he'd long since given up on... I found a funny little melon growing through the fence. It's another entry for the garden category...

Cory's Melon...

**Range** · 08-03-2006, 07:18 PM

Here are my garden entries! I have to set up some obstacles for my horses and get some pictures of my "other" friends!

The garden! Oh, these are gourds and pumpkins. The yellow flowers are the luffa gourd plants. Unfortunately, most of the veggies burned out in the heat.

Pumpkins and gourds:

Luffa plants and Girl:
