Zebra...

[lovesduckies]

people will always judge danischi24. it's your life, so what you want and what you feel is right. if i could have a zebra, i definately would!!!! as long as you don't harm your zebra, i don't see what the big deal is!!!

if you get one, send pictures!!! i'd like to see your zebra or as my niece calls them "begas" lol.

I will CERTAINLY send all you guys photos. My boyfriend is looking around for these desert arabs-they seem a hard bunch to find but if anyone can find them, he can.

 

[lovesduckies]

i wish you luck!!!!

 

[danischi24]

Thanks-I'll need it I think. Actually, after talking to some people who actually ride zebra, I think it will be O.K. They don't seem as bad as I suspected. I mean, Bill Turner backed his wild game reserve zebra in a fortnight.

I am no expert in training.

My observations are that good mule trainers can train zebra or zebra hybrids, very few horse trainers are smart enough to train a zebra----thus the reputation of being untrainable!

 

[danischi24]

That's what I thought. I found that training the wild donkeys took far more skill than any horse I've worked with. Now to find a mule trainer to talk with...

Yep, horses and donkeys are two different animals, as I would expect a zebra to be more like a donkey in temperament. I know with a donkey or a mule you can't MAKE them do anything, you have to give the incentive to make the choice on their own, LOL. They think more than a horse, a donkey will question "why should I" where a horse will just go with out thought.... Best Luck to you and I would love to see how it goes. I love Zebras and always wanted a Zorse. : )

DO IT!!!! I would have a zebra in a heartbeat!!

i live in chino aka cow town. we always see strange animals here. one time we drove by somone's house and they has zebras in their yard. it was interesting. i wanted to take one, but it's illegal to steal pets HAHA. good luck i'd have a zebra if i could have one too, ninny

Sorry but toooo risky... To the OP please have someone outside with you if you do get and try to break this animal.. I would hate to see something happen to you...
