Re: She Trains Lions, Tigers, Elephants & Fjordhorses she's Coming to Beaver Dam Farm - June 16 Clinic
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Arthur Rivoire) Hello Everybody from Carol Rivoire at Beaver Dam Farm in Nova Scotia - If any of you are planning a trip to Nova Scotia and will be here the 16th of June, don't miss this clinic. LUNGING CLINIC with German Master - June 16th, Beaver Dam Farm, Pomquet, Antigonish, Co., Nova Scotia This is a press release - Carol Rivoire of Beaver Dam Farm Fjords in Antigonish, N.S. was in Holland last August attending the "big Fjord Show" that happens every five years. This show brings together about 600 Fjords from Holland, Belgium, Germany & France, and attracts Fjord people from all over Europe, Britain, Canada, and the U.S. One of the highlights of the show for Carol was a 7-horse Lunging Demonstration. Seven lungers with seven horses on the lines performed classical dressage movements in perfect unison, everything from extensions at the trot to collected canters to half-passes. Carol was overwhelmed by the skill and training. On returning home to Nova Scotia, Carol welcomed a new BDF interne from Germany, Silja Neudecker. Later that week, when the trip's photos were developed, Silja got really excited when she realized that the group Carol had been raving about was led by none other than Silja's own lunging teacher. What a small world! This year, Wilja will again return to Beaver Dam Farm, and will bring with her the famous Irmgard Wieczorek who will train BDF's trainers and the Fjordhorses. The people at Beaver Dam Farm have long bellieved that "in hand" and "on the ground training" is the basis for a good riding and driving horse. Training a young horse to be OBEDIENT, SUPPLE, FORWARD on the ground is most beneficial to future work under saddle or driving. On the ground, you can also train a horse in lateral movements, so when you first sit on him, he knows what leg pressure means, and will move over. The same benefits apply to driving. If the on the ground work has been well done, the driving horse understands whip aids, and is supple, obedient, and forward. Irmgard Wieczorek grew up in Germany's most famous circus, The Franz Althoff Circus where for many years she trained all the animals including lions, tigers, elephants, and the 200 Stallions the circus is most famous for. She's classically trained in dressage, and travels all over the world training riding teachers how to teach. She's also well-known for creating show programs with horses, including circus-type acts. Irmgard comes from a family of circus people. Her brother is a stuntman, and used to double for John Wayne. Irmgard, herself, was once a trick rider in the circus. But, today, her emphasis is on Classical Dressage, both ridden and on the lunge. She teaches classical lunging from the Basics to "Haute Ecole." Irmgard regularly travels to European countries as well as Africa where she returns year after year to check on her students' progresss, and to give them new assignments for the coming year. Irmgard has also many times put on demonstrations at Equitana in Germany. Irmgard has trained Fjordhorses for 30 years, and enjoys their special characters very much. She's also a very successful breeder (not Fjords0, and is a certified Breeding Judge. This is a tremendous opportunity for anyone who can make it to learn from one of the world's best horse trainers. Irmgard is a serious trainer, but according to her students, her lessons are a whole lot of fun, and have a "beautiful atmosphere." Cost for this clinic is $40CN. This famous trainer is worth a special trip, but Nova Scotia is a destination all in itself. Incredible scenery, crystal clear air, Gaelic music, top notch golf, kayaking, warm water beaches, Scottish and Acadian culture, gourmet food. It doesn't get any better than summer in Nova Scotia.

Re: DAM & DAM'S SIRE & DAM'S DAM'S SIRE
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Arthur Rivoire) . Hello from Carol Rivoire at Beaver Dam Farm in Nova Scotia - > > >This message is from: Vivian Creigh <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Good Morning List, >) > Carol R., Hope all our babies this year are as nice as Brenning. I saw a >tape of him taken last fall and he is a lovely individual. I am glad you >think so as well. >Bye for now, Vivian Creigh Vivian, Yes, I certainly do think Brenning, sired by Marnix, is a lovely individual, BUT let's not forget that his dam, BDF JENNIFER ANNE (named for our granddaughter) was sired by GJEST, and out of STINE - ENE (Danish). Gjest x Stine is the combination that produced BDF Kanada King, BDF Obelisk, BDF Malcolm Locke, and BDF Liza. All these horses are matured, breeding, performing. In other words, proven. When you look at Brenning you can see Marnix, Stine, & Gjest. This is a winning combination! Brenning has color, stripes, and movement from Marnix. He has elegance,movement, and long forelock from Stine. He has movement, and forwardness from Gjest. The beautiful head comes from all three. And the nice temperament from all three. It's not enough to just know who the sire is! If you want to understand why a particular horse is the way he is, you've got to look at the mother and at her father, and her mother's father as well.

They just want to be able to identify horses travelling. So they ask about lip tattoos, brands, scars, markings, microchips. I hear some of the premier horses coming over from Holland are branded. Just saw Hostar a couple weeks ago and he's got a couple of brands on his hip. Not very visible in his summer coat, but he's got 'em. It's possible you don't need brand inspection in California and your health papers will suffice. But I'd be safe and call your vet and ask them. I didn't have a CLUE about needing brand inspections till we moved our horses from New Mexico to Oregon. Our hauler told us he wouldn't take a horse cross state lines without them. My education began then. Pamela

Re: Keswick
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Just wanted to give an update on Keswick. He is doing extremely well and growing fast. Kate from Los Trigos Ranch is with him and teaching him how to be a Fjord horse and not a people. He is now drinking from a bucket and doing well, I am feeding him every 2 hours but will eventually, when it feels right start leaving the bucket it the stall for him. I will have to careful because of NM hot weather but at night I will be able to leave it a bit longer. My vet and friend has been here 3 times a day since Keswick was born, not because he has been needed but for moral support. The local paper will have an article, about Keswick and Fjord horses, next week. Thank you all for your concern and info it is great to know you are out there and can help or tell me where to get the info I need. Thanks again Sue, Keswick, Heather, Ljosen, Kate (fjords) and Mahogany (mustang) In sunny New Mexico.
gelding evaluations
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] The recent discussion of gelding evaluation has prompted a discussion in our household so will pass on our thoughts. We believe gelding evaluation can be an asset to the breeders and the future of the breed but cannot see the benefit to those who have geldings to love and enjoy; be it show, competition or backyard pets. We all know our boys are the "best". We also believe it is financially unjust to expect us to bear the burden of DNA, micro chip, hauling our geldings miles, paying for motels, stalls, etc. to have someone say "Hey, your boy isn't the best or is the best." It is of no value to us but could benefit the breeders. Why should the burden of proof of parentage be placed on the purchasers? We feel all foals should be DNA tested and micro chipped by breeders prior to registration if the Registry is requiring more than registration papers for the Evaluation. Joanne and Mel Goble proud parents of 2 geldings who are the "best".
