All I'm saying is any kind of summer camp where you have to be outside for more than the mandatory hour of sports time or social-hour is not for me. I prefer camps where you have to fill out a 4-page college application to get in and there's no reason to bring swimming trunks.

Yeah. See. I was mostly like that back when I went to camp too. I think I am slightly different now, but...
the other counselors had a hard time understanding why some kids didn't want to swim in the lake or play ultimate frisbee.

Happy late  birthday, wombat.

The cougars mention reminds me that I saw one in a nature center the other day. After I passed it, it started stalking either me or the elk in the next pen


The elk were very friendly

Yeah, when you write it out it sounds complicated but it's really hoss level simple. The heel squeeze is just a trigger to say 'do what you're doing but faster'. You use that in conjunction with no sound/double click/kiss which is what indicates the pace you're calling for.

What I'm hoping is that the damn hoss just felt real good and wanted to air out the kinks this time out.

If not, I'm going to call up Wombat and put her on the phone with him and let her talk him around.

Wait...Wombat, you wouldn't give him a talk about how he really shouldn't have to put up with some human on his back all squeezing and making noises at him, would you?

How do you stop it?

Ugh, I kind of forgot hosss don't just run into buildings and other hosss and stuff.  Still probably good to know how to stop them though.

This is the big advantage of the equine over the automobile.

Yeah, you know, I was thinking at that the time that I never previously thought that I would get to pet an elk.At first they were just laying down, then one came over to see us--and a few minutes later, the other. I got a big kick out of how much they like to be pet I stepped aside to let a little girl have a go and the elk followed me to get more attention. Eventually one of them snarfled her hair and she giggled with glee. The male was a lot more slobbery.

The nature center visit was part of a trip to see my stepdaughter, who is at a school/ranch/residential treatment center in Wyoming. It was a good time.


The friendly elk are in Red Lodge, Montana if anyone wants to visit.

That doesn't sound too good.

I remember your daughter, a sweet little lady as I recall.

That sounds worse than it is. Ah, you know. It's hard, but it's fine. She's doing well, working hard, and in a good place.

You know, I am interested in animals, but I am no bunnyhugger. In fact I am even working on a new blog about what dickheads animals can be.

You are familiar with Dogs in Elk, I trust?
