i am going to sleep well tonight - THank you guys !!! I thought i was going mental - trespassing on someones nose territory -
i am doing what I can and she can just stuff herself (happy to lend her a bag of pristine bagged and sealed manure)
I am talking to my father in law tomorrow, as soon...
funny enough my hubby actually wants some pigs - he used to keep them when he was younger and is besotted with them.
i might just do that.
But I really dont want to move my horse- so i am worried this is all going to end badly.
I am a mum of 3 now - 2yr, 4yr and 6 year old - I can not...
thanks ALec - thats exactly what I was thinking - I am trying to get my brother in law to take her out to work the sheep - but as my horsey is causing so much "trouble " (see other thread - need paddock help) I am not sure its going to happen.
we have 600+ ewes on the farm - I hope she will get...
hubby is away on business - but assures me that Tia doesnt smell! I think he doesnt quite get home much this is unnerving me.
He is not a horsey person - but has fallen in love with our mare. Cuddles and the lot - he is a bit of a quiet one- not up for confrontation. But I can feel his anger...
hmmm I am sure she has some sort of agenda - she always does. We try to be friendly - but I can see how much she dislikes me through her gritted smile. Always has. Dunno - i think she feels threatened by my little sweet self ? i dont know - i have tried for years and years to make friends - but...

If you find a solution - please let me know - willing to try everything !"!
I have been getting daily emails about the "smell"! so I thought I'd try everything I could think of - took pictures and emailed back the progress. To be fair - Tia had a bout of runny poohs last week - (coming on to hay in the paddock due to grass going) - but I even picked and hosed those away...
LoL :-)
The family has farmed here for 5 generations, so you'd think they would be used to a bit if whiff.
They keep pigs, cows, a lama and sheep on the farm. "But not next to their house".
I'd love for her to go in with the sheep - but I am not allowed....
Thanks guys. I think I will continue campaigning to move her to the other side of our house (so that only WE can smell her) - but I a meeting resistance there as well as it's a precious sheep field.
I can't get it right in their eyes - and I think they are trying to pressure me into putting...
