@@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.

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.

I would ask the mechanic to put a tarp or something over the motor . When you first showed the motor I saw watter dripping into far right manifold hole where the stud broke off. If water keeps dripping into the hole it will rust the cylinder walls if it hasn't started already. It could cause your motor major problems like motor replacement. Just looking out for you and sherpa

[@SherpasDay]

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

[@cardinaloflannagancr8929]

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.

[@deliabravo3671]

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

[@shellythom7248]

Awe poor Sherpa and you. Glad you’re ok. Horses are large. Never heard of a horse doing this. I’m sure they do. I just never heard of it.

[@dotmenziesholden1251]

Horses are very unpredictable, glad you both got away safely. Your new curtains look so much better.

[@gabrielagarciamayagoitia1599]

Poor Sherpa! Bet he's glad you were there to protect him! The whistle is a good idea. They will run away scared! 🐎🐎🐴🐎🐎

[@tracyjacoby2382]

LOL!! Dad not too keen about holes in Sarah's jeans!! Kids!! 😄

[@skysbakyrdagins7724]

If you can get it in England there's a spray repellant that uses a strong citronella scent to distract and deter animals. Not pepper spray. It's called PetSafe Spray Shield Animal Deterrent spray. I use it when dealing with aggressive animals on the job. Also stops other dogs from attacking. And always be talking loud to them and facing the horses when walking away. Slowly.

You can’t go around spraying animals with crap

[@user-yv5dn4od4e]

Oh my, the candle looks so dangerously close to the curtains! Please be careful, Jamie! So sorry about the horse attack, thank God the both of you are safe! Also, its nice seeing you taking your daughter out shopping. Something fresh on your channel, I love it!

[@fionalawler6952]

B I thought exactly the same thing!!!! About the candle!!!

[@therockhub6020]

I’ve just watched this video and know what also happened to Sherpa at a later date too. Holy cow. I’ve been chased by wild horses before and it was one of the scariest moments of my life. It sounds like you handled that situation really well. You sounded very brave and wonderfully protective in a crazy scary situation. Well done Jamie.

How blooming cute and fun is Sister Sarah! “I’ll pay you back, £2 a month.”

A quick lesson in horse language: Ears pinned flat against the head means get out of the way ( left or right of the horse’s path) and call Batdog. Ears perked ears means something got their attention. One ear perked and the other to the side means they’re relaxed. So pay attention to the horse’s ears next time. You don’t have to carry anything special.

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.

[@dawnbartle123]

Aww bless. Glad all’s ok. Poor Sherpa... hope he doesn’t get a horse phobia xx

[@Crested_Hadrosaur]

Good to see Sherpa is ok. You know what helps overcome shock and calms the nerves? Chicken balls

[@SherpasDay]

😂

[@cheche2174]

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

[@Crested_Hadrosaur]

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

[@mariealainawalukas3048]

Oh my God! I can hear the fear in your voice! So sorry for your scare! Poor Sherpa! He looks so tired. When he looked at you I could see the worry in his eyes! You are a pair made in Heaven! So proud of him. I hope it doesn’t stop you from your walkies in the Moors again. Poor babies! Take care of yourselves and get some rest! Oh dear what happened to your beautiful van???!!! You’ve had a rough go of it you have! Sending you both lots of love and hugs!

[@chrystalamiller]

The area above the sofa, how about a collage of Sherpas friends ( Key'ush, Nook, batdog and other pals)

[@TerryBaker84]

Sherpa's day definitely makes my Weekend. Now all I can think about is you rugby tackling a horse. Guessing your calling batdog later Jamie? Glad your both ok 💙

[@SherpasDay]

Haha it was scary but it picked on the wrong dog owner 🥷

[@TerryBaker84]

@@SherpasDay you mentioned a fire extinguisher, something like an airhorn would be better as horses ears are very noise sensitive

[@gaylabetts]

Get you a riding crop

[@AidaJof]

@@TerryBaker84 dogs ears are also sensitive ...

[@MalaikaJojo]

I think your best chance with the horse is to make a loud sudden noise. The umbrella was a good choice for keeping it at arms length. Hopefully it just doesn't happen again!

[@vildanasekavic209]

Oh my God!!!! Thank you Jamie for protecting our Lord Sherp and staying safe yourself. God bless you. Stay safe🙏

[@kathytarman2302]

I can’t believe that horses acted like that. I wouldn’t want to go up against one. It must have been having a bad day. I love horses and never had that happen. Sherpa was so great. It could have been bad if he went often it. He is so smart. You have such a nice home. Beautiful birds. You have such a wonderful heart. Thank you for sharing all you share.

[@Renee406Mt]

So very blessed you both are alright. The mini fire extinguisher would be good, I'm so happy you both bonded more. He is a beautiful furbaby ❤ I really like your curtains!! And the color and fantastic job!! Now your in your new home with a beautiful garden for Sherpa!!❤
