This message is from: Joyce Concklin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> HI, I have been raising Fjords here in Florida for almost 20 years.We are located 40 miles North of Tampa and 6 miles East of Weeki Wachee (mermaids).I have never had any problems with the heat and the Fjords.I have shelters as well as trees they can get under.During the draught we set up sprinklers to go off in the mid afternoon,when it would normally rain.They seem to enjoy standing under the sprinklers.My Fjords range in age from a 2 y/o through 27 y/o.Most of the year our weather is great!

I end up body clipping in Sept, when he starts growing his coat, usually about 2 to 3 times and then I go into a trace clip (yes, I have to do many clips!!) I trace clipped him again in January as we were still up into the 60's....... He is out in about a one acre pasture that has some huge Mesquite Trees which give excellent shade...... shade is the key out here.......it can drop the temps 10 degrees under those trees!!! I like that he is out and can move around......he is also fed 3x per day (once by me) so to keep his gut moving. reena ----- Original Message ----- From: "Linda Lottie" To: Sent: Wednesday, February 20, 2008 8:35 PM Subject: RE: Florida Fjordies? > This message is from: Linda Lottie > > Reena......and how do your fjords handle the temps?
