Help with buying a horse

[Appygirl]

That's just crazy and exotic. Wonder what the foal would looked all grown up? What would be real interesting is what kind of ( what would you call it?)
Zeburr, Burzee, Zedonk, ZeAss Who know's Anyways the temperment would be interesting to observe.

That is hillarious! What a wild looking critter. I just bought some bulls off a guy who has a buffalo cow, mated with a little Zebu bull, funniest little calf - Zebalo? Buffabu?. I don't have pics, but next time we buy from him I may try to get some. Now that would be a funny thread - the mixed critter thread.

I am still in the process of removing barb wire from my property. Two years later I have about 30 acres to go. We are not fans of barbed wire.

- Darn wire.

It's funny how on the east coast no one wants to use barbed wire for horses, and in the west, that's about all you see.
I just got back from a week of riding in colorado, all the horse pastures are barbed wire, at least what I saw.

Is this for real?
Or it's a "photoshop" program?

Just Google Zedonk and you can find many similar ones.

I reallythought it was a photo shop but it appears to not be. Knock me over.

Like several other I thought it was a photo trick. Our granddaughters think it has striped hose on

Now if someone could get male black bears to grow antlers they would really have something.

Well it's been done for Jack rabbits. These guys are all over west Texas.

Totally understand. It takes a personal experience with a horse and wire to make an opinion.

I don't know about the east/west differences. I wonder what factors come into play?
Confined spaces in east vs. open range
Cost of fence
Cost of breed
Age of fence line?

Could be an interesting analysis, one I would be interested in.

Rip.. I think you hit it.

East.. smaller farms... you stick 20 horses on 20ac and you have lots of horse to wire contact. ( small acerages you can fence with more 'appropriate wire/board and not go broke.. )

West.. lots of land.. might have 100-200 animals on hundreds of ac.. less animal to fence contact.. and it's just not feasable to fence in a 'section' with board and no climb wire fence...
