Say prayers. Do not attempt this while alone. Clasp hairs in fingers. Gloves optional. Stand away from hoofs. Yank hard in one sudden motion, do not pull slowly or gently. Be ready to move yourself. Do not try to do all the hairs at once, but keep in mindthe poor horse will remember this procedure every passing day if you drag it on. Wear a disquise or have hubby do it. Flat, fast shoes, no heels. Do not drop hairs in haste of moving from hoofs aiming for you. Keep in mind that horses can and do kick sideways. Call Mike May for complaining about this torture. Its all his idea, Im sure. Lisa Pedersen

Fjords making news
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Congratulations to Vivian Creigh for winning the GMHA CDE. This is the first event she had entered her two new mares that she recently imported. She received a 48 in dressage and a double clean in cones. Her time in the marathon was good enough to keep her on top for the win. Good job Vivian! Also, I received my latest issue of Driving West magazine today and found a few fjords in it. There is a great picture of Beth Beymer driving her tandem in cones as well as some mention of her competing well in the 20 Mile House CDE. Alex Fraser was shown driving his team in cones at the Pegasus CDE. It mentions that he got the "best conditioned" award for his team. Also, Barry Strachen was shown driving his mare in a Hardy Zantke clinic. Good work everyone! Steve Steve and Amy White Prairieholm Farm Waterloo, Nebraska

Re: Whether to ride in warm weather?
This message is from: "Jean Gayle" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Anke that is very sad. but perhaps it is a saddle problem. I use a heavy, thick western pad for my english saddle and it then fits all of my horses. Also perhaps a back problem? Such a worry as I am still struggling with the founder of my huge horse Charley. It is up and down to where every morning I say to my self, "Now what?" as I head for the barn. But with your horse it does sound like bad pain of some sort. Best of luck and let us know. .

Re: Whether to ride in warm weather?
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I was out yesterday for a short trail. My gelding A'simi seemed to has a lot of power. He always wanted to galopp, was bucking, when I was trying to stop him and suddenly he laid down. He sweat hardly and I walked home with him slowly. Today the Vet will come and have a look for him.
