This message is from: donna mcgeein <mcdic...@hotmail.com> Hello, It has been a couple of years since I have posted. My name is Donna McGeein, I moved with my Fjord from MT to OR 1 1/2 years ago. He is a 13 year old gelding. I have done a bit of many things with him - driving, arena, trails, packing and therapy when we get the chance.
Now I am concerned about him eating grass. His hoof health has been an ongoing concern, because everyone has something to say. Last year I had his feet xrayed and the internal foot structure was sound. He has never exhibited lameness but he is flat soled and tender at times. He lives in a "paddock paradise environment" this is 20 foot wide gravel and mud track with access to pasture am and pm. I am concerned because he does get a cresty neck and I know he does not metabalize like the non-Fjord types. Please let me know what you think. Also If you are the Fjord owners near Portland - or know of them, please let me know. I think there was a herd there doing therapy. Thank you, Donna Important FjordHorse List Links: Subscription Management: http://tinyurl.com/5msa7e FH-L Archives: http://tinyurl.com/rcepw Classified Ads: http://tinyurl.com/5b5g2f
