Re: [RC] Paddock Paradise - Barbara McCraryI can attest to that, Angie. We have one Aussie and one Border Collie, and they seem to keep anything with four legs well exercised. The Border Collie failed to duck many years ago, and is living more or less happily with 8 teeth missing from his upper jaw.If we turned our horses out to pasture near our house, they would have to travel uphill for water, but then gallop downhill at terrifying speed, slam on the brakes and shred 12 foot long pieces out of the pasture. Therefore, ours are not turned out on this hill. Cows don't behave that way and stay on a pre-determined trail...at a walk.

They all decide to take a trip from the front left of the field to the right rear to visit the pond, and line up according to seniority as they walk. After that journey, they angle across the hillside and back to the front. Funny, when they're walking, they always stay on low ground. When they have a running fit, they always include running up the hill, shooting off the bank and flying down the other side. Scares me to death. Angie
