And you're right, it probably stems from the fur trade which was a major industry when the country was first settled.RedPathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06980471119229896414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2756974947178812123.post-42674804676456778652013-04-24T16:20:47.929-04:002013-04-24T16:20:47.929-04:00I was taking pictures of some (beautiful!) shire d...I was taking pictures of some (beautiful!) shire draft horses here and two people from the farm came racing out to make sure that I wasn't feeding them. They've had lots of problems. People have fed them all kinds of junk, probably whatever they happened to have in their car. I'm guessing that two day-old tuna sandwiches, french fries, stale pizza don't agree with horses. And much like my labrador, horses are always hungry and always eat whatever's on offer.Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02971991029290518107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2756974947178812123.post-75994021531179826132013-04-24T15:12:48.289-04:002013-04-24T15:12:48.289-04:00UH oh!

By the way, Lowell, the photo in my blog post was a family of young deer. I can see, though, how one would think they were something else, as they were kind of far from me even though I zoomed in on them. Guess they were spooked by the upcoming heavy rain. :)Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12692170857496442623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2756974947178812123.post-66994629747069544032013-04-24T12:25:54.769-04:002013-04-24T12:25:54.769-04:00I can imagine that you wouldn't want people fe...I can imagine that you wouldn't want people feeding junk to your horses, especially the high-end horses you have down there.RedPathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06980471119229896414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2756974947178812123.post-40949001632893686872013-04-24T11:48:21.445-04:002013-04-24T11:48:21.445-04:00Good advice.
