All depends on your definition of "what to do". :)

Besides - horses are an evoltionary dead end - dumb as a rock wall and
with about as much personality.

Did you see my comment a few days ago in the thread where you were wondering
how to get rid of Norton? I just helped a lady with a new HP laptop and
Vista. Norton was easily (took probably 7 or 8 minutes of HDD grinding by
the uninstaller) removed using the uninstaller included. I then installed
free AVG with no problems.

There is a simple reason why dogs do that. They found something REALLY

I know what you're speaking about. My dog does it when he wants some
attention. He'll lay on his back with his legs moving around, pause with
his legs point straight up, and suddenly jump up, give a good shake and then
stare at me. Then I know for sure it's time for a good dump.

Did you do it from the Windows Control Panel "install/remove programs" or
from a dedicated Norton uninstall?

There's also something called "Windows Defender" in this thing. Not sure
what it's all about.

To uninstall Norton I went and clicked on the Windows logo in the lower left
hand corner, used to be Start in WinXP. Then opened the list of programs
and there was a title called Norton. Clicked on that and there was an
Uninstall entry. Clicked on that and several minutes later it was good to
go. Free AVG installed perfectly.

Courage my man. You didn't build a successful business with help from the
over priced Geek Squad.

Believe it or not, every six months or so a traveling horse dentist shows up
at our barn.
I once watched him pull a foot long metal file out of his tool box and head
for the stall.
I got in my truck and headed for the hills.

Wow, deja vu! Once years ago, about a mile from that very exit, I

horses in it. Don't know the outcome, didn't stay.

That's "Sebastian". He is (or was) one of the most anti-social horses
among other horses that exists. Horses are herd animals and typically like
to be among other horses. Not Sebastian.
He thrives on being by himself. Until recently.

Anna has two horses over at her friend's barn the next town over because
they use them for
riding lessons for other people and for competition in horse shows.
Sebastian, being an ornery old coot was kept by himself at our house and he
was in heaven. Then, another friend brought a mare to stay at our barn for
a while. (You can see her in the background in the pictures I posted)

Sebastian fell in love. He can't tolerate being separated from the mare.
If you put him out in the paddock without her around he fusses, kicks the
gate, runs around like an idiot and tries to pull the gate down with his
teeth. It's a bit scary to see how powerful a horse is. That's when I
hop in my truck and go for a ride.

Probably bad outcome. Going to work one morning down I-680 the CHP officer
has his gun drawn and ready to put down a horse that got out of a pasture
and had been hit by a car. Was standing there with most of it's innards
exposed. Past by before the officer finished the job the car started.
