Fleas are among one of the most well known and hated pests in the modern world. Like mice, rats and other pests, fleas can be carriers of disease and live from the blood of their victims. Their bites are painful, causation a red mark that can swell, itch and persist for two weeks. They will attack humans, cats, dogs and birds, making them versatile predators that do not distinguish between their prey. Once an infestation has occurred in your work or home, fleas can be very difficult to remove. As with many other pests, it is much easier to protect against an infestation than to rectify one once it has begun. You may need to resort to highly toxic chemicals, such as those found in flea foggers, to get rid of the pests once they have begun to breed.

When riding horses, it can be quite difficult to judge how the horse or pony will react to the traffic on the road. Unless you are fairly experienced with that particular horse and are aware of all his reactions, there are a few little ways you can adopt to get him used to traffic when riding out.
Your main objective is to move your horses attention away from the vehicles and fully onto yourself. Distracting him from his concentration on vehicles approaching from the front or behind will help him adjust his viewpoints and place more of his trust in you as the rider.
Some horses and ponies will fully focus on their surroundings rather than to the riders and their commands. This usually results in the horse possibly tripping over himself and spooking himself purely from lack of concentration on what he is supposed to be doing.
