many of animals

I have many animals. About 50 animals. How about you. I have 2 horses 20 rabbits 60 chickens 5 dogs 2 cats 2 rats a ferret cockatoo a cow a pig and a couple other odds and end. My thourgh bred love to run and not trout. I would love to seel her she is just about 6 and green broke beatiful horse. I need something slower or needed to make her slower. I pay lots of $$ for these animals and become broke and overwhelmed but i do not now what to do with them they were manly rescued.

I BELIVE I AM AT MY LIMIT AND I POSTED A COMMENT YOU SHOULD CHECK OUT!!!

That would explain your name - "animal motel"!

I have two dogs, two cats, and some fish. We used to have a horse, too. I am trying to talk my wife into letting me keep chickens, but it is a losing battle!

They must keep you very busy indeed. You can clicker train horses, but for practical reasons most "positive" horse trainers also throw in some light negative reinforcement when riding (but I don't know much about that, I did all my horse training from the ground).

Trotting is usually taught from the ground. You can lunge without a whip, just have the horse moving around you. Click when she trots, then let her get some carrot or apple. You can build it up from there.

There is a Yahoo group for horse trainers who use clickers, it is called the "clickryder" group.

Have you hit your limit in terms of the number of animals you can care for?

I believe so!!!

I believe I am at my limit. Try to tell that to my husband he just wants more and more. I have tried to start my own shelter but no one seems to want to help so we provide for all these animals by our selves it is rewarding. We got a horse a thourogh bred she was starved and had cuts along her back legs because she got stuck in barb wired. I am looking to sell her because she is all there and loves to run she is ridable she just likes to run. My dogs 3 of them were about to get shot and we took them 1 is mean 1 is retard 1 is half way normal. Cats well our cat was a wild our other one came from a house of 20 cats and the other one was a wild cat too they r all fixed and love us.. Anyways Yes I am at my limit and wish i could down size but my husband says no. And I have recently turned down a bit bull that needed a home and another doberman. There is no humain society with 30 miles of our house. The other moring we went outside and there was 2 chicken in with the mix that were not ours again we took on some more chicks that we did not need. So u all have a fab day and hopr u enjoy my story.
Animals need our help!!!
