If your neighbor's bamboo continually creeps into your yard, you can keep it contained by installing a root barrier in the affected area. Rolls of plastic root barrier are available in home and garden stores. Metal and concrete barriers are also effective. You can dig a trench that will act as a barrier if you'd prefer not to use a non-porous material in your yard. Installing a pond or stream will also effectively block bamboo roots. Applying an herbicide to the leaves of bamboo shoots may help to prevent new growth from occurring. However, this doesn't always work as well as removing culms and rhizomes by hand. It might be tricky to find a chemical that works for the particular species of bamboo you're dealing with. Even if you do find one that works, you could end up killing other plants or wrecking your neighbor's treasured bamboo grove in the process. If you want to try an herbicide, use a glyphosate herbicide or a selective-grass herbicide directly on new bamboo growth each time it appears. A selective-grass herbicide is not as effective as the glyphosate type in controlling bamboo, but it may be used in flower beds or around ornamental shrubs. In order for the herbicide to be effective, it's important that you spray any new shoots as soon as they appear. Using boiling water to kill bamboo is more natural and environmentally friendly than using an herbicide. Whenever you see new shoots growing in, boil water and dump it over the roots and shoots of the plant. Not all bamboo species "run" all over the yard; some actually stay contained when you plant them. Ask an expert at your local nursery to help you choose a species that won't take over your property. This is a simple way to enjoy bamboo while making sure it doesn't get out of control. Most bamboo species do well in large containers that may be placed on your porch or in your yard.

Q: Beginning riders should always ride with a more experienced rider, although they do not need to share a horse. Riding in company is also a good idea if you are practicing jumps. . If a horse is acting wild or full of energy, have an experienced rider lunge (longe) the horse first. Speak and behave calmly in the presence of horses. Horses work best with patient, quiet people. Never shout around the horse, as he may spook at the noise. Check your surroundings constantly for possible sources of fear. This may include running children, an approaching car, or even a plastic bag blowing in the wind. If the horse's eyes widen and its ears point straight up, it may be scared. If this happens, calmly talk to the horse and try to move somewhere the horse can calm down. Desensitize the horse in a familiar setting if it is easily scared. Horses are not always friendly when they meet for the first time. Touching their noses together can cause them to bite or strike. Let the horse pick the pace when traveling over slippery ground, including ice, snow, and mud. When riding up or down a steep hill, keep the horse to a walking pace, even if it wants to go faster. Sticking to a walk is also a good idea at night or during low-visibility weather. When near other riders, either ride abreast or stay far enough apart to avoid kicks. When looking between your horse's ears, you should be able to see the hind hooves of the horse in front of you. That said, when riding with a group, don't allow a horse to lag so far behind it has to gallop to catch up. A red ribbon on the tail is a sign of a kicker in some areas. Stay well back from these horses. When at the front of a group, shout back to inform other riders of possible dangers. These include broken glass, poor footing, and branches at head height. Losing control of your horse can be a dangerous occurrence, especially if you don't know what to do. In most cases, the safest course of action is to stay on the horse and let it run until it calms down or tires out. Pulling back on the reins can limit the horse's vision and cause it to lose its footing. If you practice with the horse beforehand, you can train it to step to one side, slowing it down. Without this training, pulling back on one rein may just limit the horse's vision and balance, or cause it to turn without slowing down. Do not jump off the horse unless it is headed to a road, cliff, or branches too low for you to safely pass under. Since both you and the horse are a little more tired after a ride, it's helpful to follow a post-ride checklist to make sure everything gets done. Try this one: Slow to a walk before approaching the stable. After dismounting, tie the horse with a quick release knot. Give the horse a wash and groom. Lead the horse back to the pasture or stall. Teach him early on to not rush off, but to stand calmly beside you with the halter on. Remove the halter. Pat and praise the horse for calm behavior. He should be able to remain standing by your side until you turn to leave.
A: Ride with supervision when appropriate. Lunge an energetic horse before riding Stay calm. Be on the alert at all times. Be cautious when introducing unfamiliar horses. Let the horse walk over difficult terrain. Stay back from other horses. Learn how to handle a runaway horse. Handle the horse safely after riding.
