Hi Gerry, meant may clarify my questions not explain them, sorry. (It is early in the morning) Elke ... From: Elke Bader To: Connemara_Pony@yahoogroups.com ...
Hehehe! Good answer Elke. And very difficult to argue with after the Lady being the one bringing up flight animals... The look of that dog's face must have...
Hello all, I know of several horses hunting dogs and sheep. But I find it very unfair to have a dog go after foals. After all they really can get hurt (I know...
Dear all, I had a look on the web and found several pages with the pictures (or i hope with the pictures as I couldn't open them yet). This is one of the...
Thanks Maureen, Sending them one by one worked, and I have been able to watch them. I think I read somewhere, that it is because of donkeys not fleeing that...

Hi Elke ( and all) Yes, no doubt that this big cat was dead prior to the mules rage up it's carcass. Puma's would not attack a group such as a mule, with it's...
Hi I just read in a horse magazine from Atlantic Canada about a girl out riding with their three-legged dog - a rescue case. The dog was attacked by a coyote...

Hi Heather, Coyotes are extremely cunning/intelligent animals - as surely you know, living amongst them as you do. Surely the three legged canine was viewed as...
Hi, appreciation diminishes when the "big cats" kill calves, lambs and foals - which they do. heather...

Melanie (& All,) That could be very true. However, when we lived in the logging camps in Canada(off the B.C. coast) the mountain lions WOULD come down to the ...
Lisa, YOU cultivate what Your little girl wants !!!!!You are so lucky to have one that young who is already getting the "addiction!" Keep up the good work!...
Hi Heather, I'm with you! We have a "LOCAL" cat that is hunting in our vicinity and quite frankly, this scares me! I am not about to go out and hunt him...
While this current topic certainly holds no connection with the Connemara pony - I would desire to briefly add the following and then move on. A gun happy,...
I've had a number of horses and ponies go after dogs like that. Luckily, the dogs managed to get under the fence, or they'd have met the same fate as that...
I used to live in mountain lion country. Most of the time, you don't see them, and generally, when they do go after animals, it is small animals like rabbits, ...
Hi Maureen, I heard that big cat scream one night when I was feeding - it was the only thing that has litterally made the hairs stand up on the back of my neck...

Once on the Highway 50 wagon train, a lot of the horses started acting up and being very nervous. We were on a section of road that had a lot of cliffs and ...
Hi all, Karen's stamping flat of the ducks reminded me of a story about two Connemara Ponies that I read recently from an old CPBSA newsletter. Thought it may...
Hi again, this reminds me of two stories abouts cats and Connemaras. First is a very old one: We once had a big run in stable (with straw, very comfortable)...
Hi Maureen, They are wonderful dogs and are very popular in this country to protect sheep and goats. It's a 2000 year old breed from the Maremmano region in ...
Great photos. That dog reminds me so much of my old Domino. Different breed, but same lovely temperament and attitude. Domino was an aussie/lab cross, and was...
Beautiful dogs Sue! Love the look she is giving your husband as if to say "Well.......what do you think? She is a nice one, is she not?! We have a terrible...
Hi Sue, I love these guardian breeds - how lovely. Are they considered a medium or long hair? Do they have a downy under coat? Melanie ... From: "Sue Clarke"...
I had wondered why the mule didn't appear to have any injuries. The fact it was probably dead before that explains a lot. ... ===== Karen Vicencio Wilton,...
Hi Mel and Maureen, They are long coated and have a very fluffy undercoat with a soft guard hair on top. They are amazing as they can be filthy with brown...
Hi Julia, I really would like to view that pic. I totally agree with you, in areas where horse-keeping, dog-keeping, towns and villages are so close together...
Hi Heather, yes indeed that is a wonderful story, here with us normally there aren't such meetings with bears, pumas and .... . Perhaps sometimes this will...
Hi Melanie, thank you for this link. I just went there and learned a lot. The arguments for co-existence with such wildlife cats are nearly the same I hear...
