Okay, the wiring problem has been taken care of, but their was additional problems with either the brake or the clutch, possibly just the brake if the clutch kind of works the brake pad as well. On one occasion I pushed in the clutch, shifted into neutral and felt the gear shift come out of gear as put the gear shift into neutral. When I let off the clutch the motor seemed to bog down a little and I heard a squealing sound so I put the clutch back in. I shut it off and looked at the clutch and brake pad area to see if the brake looked to be in the braking position, it kind of looked like it was. I started it back up and messed with it some more, till finally it went into neutral or the brake came loose. I've always had to rock back and forth as I shifted gears at times, so that's one thing I did while it was in neutral as I slowly let off the clutch I rocked back and forth. That seemed to help. Sometimes it does this even if I don't use the brake but use the clutch to come to a slow stop.

Hi Kathy! It's great to see pics of Banjo and to know how well he's doing. You both are blessed to have each other. I've got a great email about a mare and her foal I want to share with you.

Dances, I don't know much about horses' teeth. I would imagine they started out a little out on align and got progressively worse over time. Perhaps he is missing a tooth or two and that caused them to grow all wonky. I will ask the vet. One of my FB friends bought a kill pen horse and his teeth are the same but much more so. I know she had the vet work on them twice (called floating) but I don't know how much it changed their appearance. He turned out to be a very well trained dressage horse and she is thrilled with him. Joyful, a horse doesn't have to see something in his feed bucket in order to not eat it. They can do things with their noses that we can't do with our hands. Shell used to make a wormer called Equiguard. It was little blue pellets that you put in horses' feed. The horse was supposed to eat them and they would pass through the horse and kill worms along the way...especially bots. My horses could eat the feed and leave all the little blue pellets still in the feed bucket. Jasdip, Val was probably sold due to his age and because old horses usually need extra care. I don't think the nose bleed thing was the cause. I hope not. I guess I will find out if it continues and I have to have him scoped.

It is so good to see and hear about creatures being rescued, taken care of and loved. Here we have a cat problem... dogs too but mostly cats. People seem to think they are disposable and do so in such horrible ways. We don't have much space but we do care for 8 cats plus. We get them fixed, if we can (some of the show ups won't let you near them) and look out for them. Always wish we could do more. We do support our local shelter with donations etc. just does not seem like enough.
