Re: [RC] [RC] [RC] Snakes - heidiYou guys can waste all that energy and emotion killing them, but they really won't bother you if you give them the respect they want. (but maybe don't deserve) It takes very little energy, and no emotion whatsoever. It is simply a matter of keeping house, so to speak. And yes, *I* can respect them--but my curious new foals won't, and my dog won't, and my neighbor's toddlers won't. As I said, I have no hard feelings toward the snakes--and I don't go hunt them in areas where they are not on my turf. As for it being a waste to kill ones in specific areas--if you only kill the ones that come into specific places, you tend to select for ones that will range somewhere else. Over the long haul, it does seem to make a difference.

Training/conditioning is one of the best tools available. It makes us better horseman and women, it benefits our horses and could quite possibly be the key to preventing most crashes. ~ Lisa Salas - The Odd Farm ridecamp.net information: http://www.endurance.net/ridecamp/ ============================================================
