Well, they're barely allowed to have butter knives so...

Nunchucks made out of teabags and biscuits ^^

I can just imagine it, with Jamie doing his version of Steed, from, the Avengers. He just needs to add a bowler hat and he is there 😊. Glad they got away safely. 👍🐶💜

You forgot to put on your boler hat!! Umbrella + boler hat repels horses from attacking

Nope The island of Madeira (off the coast of north west Africa)beats us by a mile ,they have huge percentage of rainfall per month, everybody has an umbrella and or rain clothes .

Nope, thought exactly the same.

Yep, me too. That pic and that title equals logical conclusion...just an incorrect conclusion.😉😄

Me!!

Me too!

YES I assumed a car accident, so glad they are OK, just now saw this.

It was very scary. But we made it out and I'm very proud of him 😊🥷, has that ever happened to you?

@@SherpasDay you got any footage of this incident with the horses?

You mean "Crazy Horse . . . . . . ". The cows are totaly inicent 🐎🐄😊

@@SherpasDay We had a very scary moment a few years back while Dog sledding with our dogs. A big GSD came running at us out of a yard, and was off leash. We were on the multi use trail with 3 of our dogs attached to a sled, and this massive dog came at us. This was when Shelby was still around, and I just started yelling to her to Hike and Trail to try to get her moving. I had nothing. . . no mace . . nothing to stop this dog from coming at us. Thankfully, Shelby must have known what I was saying, because she listened so well. After what felt like forever, the dog finally turned around . We have never returned to that trail.

@@GoneToTheSnowDogs Never heard about this incident with the girls-- glad Shelby took the lead and helped get you out of that situation!

Better yet, a whole lot of Batdogs!

Could be the fire has them on edge too.

Yeah, Batdog to the rescue!!

They not pregnant but females come into season march and the males will guard all territory even if no females there. Probably thought Sherpa was a Shetland pony haha but yeh Feb to April can be a bit hairy around intact horses. Many owners will geld horses many dont though specifically if a breeding stud farm

Yes bat dog 🐶 thank god you are both safe

Sharpa is so adorable..🤗

Wow good know thankyou

Good point.

I was very very proud

@@SherpasDay good because we would be lost without him

Horses are never nasty. Sherpa just had the misfortune of running into a horse away from its heard who's reaction makes me think that it may have had a bad experience with dogs at some point. Dogs and horses are quite similar in the fact that they don't tend to be aggressive but they can get quite defensive when they feel threatened. I know poor Sherpa but was scared to death, but that horse was scared to death of Sherpa too. I'm just grateful that nothing bad happened to any of them. I can't believe he shoulder check the horse! I am so impressed with that!

@@streghewitch77 Sherpa was a good doggy though whatever happened

@@streghewitch77 I agree that the horse wasn't nasty but I don't think they meant it in that way. Remember we don't hear tone and inflection in typing but I think they were doing the baby talk thing like "don't be scared of that nasty wasty horsey" kind of thing. At least I hope so!

Was thinking the same, also, there might be some new foals in the herd, so the horses might be posturing to chase away the threat... crazed brit with a flappy pointy thing 😉 just teasing. But seriously, they can be quite protective, even willing to take on a "wolf" who was just saying "I luv woooooo" Airhorn is great advice, and just avoid the area for a couple of weeks, and you should be fine.

From one Jamie to another please give are poor lad a big hug from me I think I know its breeding season you desterbed a stallion you poor things thay can be very protective please give sherps the biggest hug from me Jamie

@@sekhmara8590 sherps dose look wolf like I love them but horse's sadly dont

@@jamiedixon1314 Sherpa reminds me of a malamute-arctic wolf mix dog we had when I was a kid... sweet as pie, and just as talkative. Bit bigger though. I love wolves, and horses too, but they don't much like each other. Hope Sherpa didn't get to scared, and I'm really glad he didn't try to attack the horse. He was smart to stay away.

😂

My apologies to the earlier posters whom put this idea up. I didn't read all of the comments prior to putting posting the same information.

So do dogs dislike loud noises. Our 100lber would drag us home if one went off.

Yes, Elizabeth!

@ thirsty - makes sense. Thanks for your input !

@@wjd5459 🐾

POOR Sherpa!!😔✨✨✨💞💕

@@bethcook1166 And poor Jamie!

Until he heard the words fish treat. Lol. Crack one eye open....

Be careful of Jamie too.

You walked out of their territory. My horse has disliked 2 people. She would not let me anywhere near either one of them. She blocks me in the corral. My dog and horse never got along. Both overly protective of me. I had to put my dog down on Thursday. She was 18. Still have my horse. But my heart and house are empty. With Melody, I tell people to get off her paths if she runs and get out of her "house" territory. She was abused before I took her. When she used to come at me In the beginning I had to stand my ground and prove trust. Scared the crap out of me, but with her respect we couldn't be closer. Same with my puppy. Will miss her forever, a house without a dog is not a home. Friday was the first day since I built the house, I've been without a dog. I had all my blankets in the morning, it was strange. Sorry for rambling. Thank you for protecting Sherpa. Looking bigger works with bears,I guess it works with horses too. Always push a horse with your shoulder and be very careful of the hooves they are very sharp.

So glad you both are safe💕

@@gailkusek8546 sorry for your loss. I know how heart breaking it is to lose a beloved pet.💔💔💔💔

I'm glad you are both safe. Sherpa did the right thing in staying by you and not charging. And I don't think it was a "Daddy! Protect me!!!" kind of thing. Regarding Sarah... haven't you told her yet that the First National Bank of Dad has gone bust and is now in receivership? As for the picky birds, charge them room and board. But seriously, you might try filling the feeder with black sunflower seeds since they are on strike about the little seeds (millet perhaps?). I like your new curtains. Looks like they will keep out a lot of light when you and your four footed child need a nap during the day...like today after the horse debacle. My best to all of you. Steve

It's literally happened just that once and we go there every day for the last 5 months.. its very odd

@@SherpasDay you have to remember Jamie...it only takes 1time. You can't take that kind of chance with no real protection. I know these animals very well.

@@SherpasDay this time of year the stallions are starting to fight for supremacy as the mares are getting ready to breed so the old testosterone can have them a bit wound up, head somewhere else for a few weeks till they settle their positions with the herd before going back and it might be back to normal

I was thinking more less in the same vane as you. Who knows perhaps the stallion associated Jamie & Sherpa with those individuals who set up the fire and if that were the case, the stallion will protect the herd if it felt threatened. Since you've owned horses and the likelihood is that Jamie and Sherpa may encounter horses in other moors or fields, do you have any suggestions for Jamie in the future?

It’s possible that he was an alpha stallion and you were unfortunate enough to be there during breeding time, that can make normally calm stallions very aggressive. But I’m glad you’re both ok and relatively unharmed

I was thinking the same thing that maybe there was a mother protecting her baby , that was near by

Rob Davies. Well said. I absolutely concur.

I thought that Horses only attacked if you were stood behind them too

probably upset by the fire

That makes sense

Could they have baby nearby?

Air horn

That was the first thing I thought of while I was listening to Jamie.

Oh my, yes!! I was about to write a similar comment Jamie, candles and curtains are a bad combo.😕🔥🏠

Yes, the RSPCA should be able to help. Here in the US it's good to carry bear spray but I'm not sure what's legal elsewhere

Poor serpa 😢😥

😥

But all the animals you ame are predators. A horse is a prey animal. I don't know if a horse in attac mode fearing for it's life will take of only by noise.

Sherpa is also an animal.

@@teddycuda It's a trust thing. Perhaps you've never owned a dog and been in a wilderness environment. I have!

@@williamlanark3038 perhaps you know nothing about me. Perhaps you don't know all dogs. Jamie knows Sherpa and will do the right thing thing for him; I really didn't need to mention anything. My goal was simply to toss it out there because even the best of us don't always think of everything.

@@teddycuda Lol. This thread is about how to deal with an aggressive animal that's intent on doing you and yours harm. I offered Jamie very sound advice on how to deal with this type of situation. I don't think Jamie has ever encountered a situation like this before. The use of "Bear Bangers", Bear spray, and/or "cherry bombs" is a highly recommended bit of kit when you wander amongst the wilds. It can save your "life" should the need arise and it's wise to be aware and prepared. Take care of yourself!

Air horns can damage your own hearing (and Sherpa's). He needs to choose something else as deterrent or change hiking area.

That's what I was trying to think of! All that was coming to mind was horn! Thanks for saving my sanity! 😂👵🇺🇸

Was going to say the same thing. Good point. We don't want jamie or sherpa hurt.

Scary as it is, I cannot help LOL imagining you ....fencing with an umbrella against...horses!I so wish there was a video about that! Peter Sellers at his best!

Its not a candle, its a diffuser

This is what I was thinking about too. An air horn and a walking cane.

Great minds think a like...I just suggested that before reading more comments.

So different to how it used to look now 😊

Huh?

Its brighten up the place🤎🤎✌🏾✌🏾🌐🐕🙎‍♂️

Less granny, more manly 😉

They do don't they!! Matches the couch well.

We'll definitely be on edge for a while around them again

@@SherpasDay they will be able to sense you on edge so try and relax. They kind of act like big dogs, a loud telling off can work well

@@SherpasDay and rightly so ...

Would be nice wouldn't it

@@SherpasDay Or a lovely bit of art with Sherpa and Key / Nook? Maybe they have a lovely picture?

@@SherpasDay I thought that is where you were going to put that metal picture of Sherpa that you got recently.

One Jodies creative projects

Don't forget a picture of HRH Queen Mouse!! I believe that should go up top, then all the doggos pics! 😹😹🐈

yes sherpa is a predator. he stalks CHICKEN.

you are right on point with the air horn suggestion

Could scare Sherpa too though, dogs hearing is much more sensitive than ours too.

Good idea.

Couple that with a whistle around his neck. It can also be used to let others human or animal know that someone is there even with a bit of wind it gets loud enough.

That is what I advised as well as some high lumens flashing devices.

No, you can traumatize animals with that. You do not need to hurt the horses.

Do you feel this way? For me, the best smell in the world -- next to when my son was still a baby fresh out of a bath and in jammies clean out of the dryer -- is the smell of a horse. There is nothing else like it in the world. I love to stand in front of a horse and press my forehead against theirs -- it's like some kind of ancient communication.

I thought exactly the same

Sherpa probably wants just Jamie and himself in the portrait. 😁

I flinched when I saw that.

Yup, I thought the same thing when I saw that.

@@yatwobob Same

Exactly what I was thinking

I saw the candle just as I read the original post.

😂

Love this!🤣🤣is this Sherpa typing I wonder🤔🤔🤔🤣🤣

@@cheche2174 no....woof....Of course.....chicken balls....not.

😊

@@SherpasDay I’m so sorry horses can be quite mean even when they aren’t wild I’m just glad you and Sherpa are safe

Thanks Terry. I know they push it back in at night but I'll definitely get them to do that

Very good point you also would need to vacuum the water out. Outside chance but hopefully none of the rings were worn to allow water to get into the oil. The only time I've ever seen vehicles like that is in areas that get almost no rain or perfectly sunny calm days.

Terry, nice of you to notice that and offer your advice.

That could be very true actually 🤔

I was thinking the same thing on a comment above ... those idiots may have terrorized those horses

But pepper spray is so uncivilized. And unBritish, I can just imagine the authorities saying in defense of their edict. I suppose none of them ever thought through the ramifications of what they were legislating. Just like on the West Side of the pond.

Not surprising in a place where most of the police don't carry guns. Glad everyone is safe! 💕

@@laughinlori6893 "Stop! Or I'll root!"

And a chicken ball wouldn't go amiss.

Or three chicken balls.

Don’t make him pancakes, Jamie...

Sherpa needs a Chicken ball!!😃

I noticed that too 😂 Smart boy.
