Re: Good news!
This message is from: "Jean Gayle" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Wonderful news Taffy about the results of the biopsy. Maybe you have read about the success I have had with the sarcoid xxterra salve. It could be of help if this tumor is a sarcoid and caught before too large.

Re: Finger Lakes Fjord Show
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi Julie I feel like I know you already, having heard so many wonderful things about you and your horses from Curt and Marsha and, of course, all of your postings to the list. We have 2 - 3year old fillies, a 2 year old colt and a broodmare (the mother of one of our fillies) and her 7 week old colt - Keeps us busy. Curt has encouraged us to try to attend your show in August. Right at present that looks pretty dim, but if you have time I would appreciate your mailing us a program. If you still need class sponsorship, let us know. Even if we don't make it to the show this year, we would love it to continue so we can come and participate some year in the future. We, for sure, plan on attending the evaluation this fall in Morrisville. It will be our pleasure to meet you and hopefully get to see Flotren.

But it prevents problems any possible confusion and is great protection to both the stallion owner and the mare owner. The contract lists the medical attention a mare needs to get pregnant and stay pregnant. If the mare owner doesn't get the medical attention (shots, worming, good routine care) and signed off on by a vet (if I remember correctly) the LFG is off. If the mare looses the baby while still getting rhinobort shots, etc, you get to bring your mare back again. I love this contract. Very well thought out. Pamela
Exporting horses/Quarantine
This message is from: "Bert Van Loon" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Exporting Horsesquarantine I am considering exporting myself, my fjord and two minnies to the Umbria region of Italy. Does anyone have information on exporting horses out of the country? I have yet to look into health issues regarding Hoof and Mouth etc. in that country which would definately impact my decision. I would also be interested in others opinion on how stressful quarantine is on the horses. Do we get to visit them? Do they get turn out/ well treated etc. Any ideas and info about other peoples experiences would be greatly appreciated. Carolyn Van Loon

Butterfly Bits
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Earlier this year on the digest I saw some information on the Butterfly bit. Could someone please tell me where or what company they got them from? We had ordered some from a business out of Iowa three weeks ago and have not yet received them in the mail. We have been unable to contact the owner of the business for the last week and their website is off-line for a couple more weeks. The only good thing out of this is that we had not paid for them, the bill was in the box with the bits, so we are not out money, but somewhere out in snail mail land there is a box with bits in it floating around. The person who shipped them, did not mail them is such a way that the package could be tracked. All help is greatly appreciated.

Sign of the times???
This message is from: "Carol J. Makosky" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hi List, I sure have learned and enjoyed all the AI conversation and everyone's summer activities. I've been tempted to take Heidi down to a boat launch site nearby and let her wade in on a lunge line as far as she wants. I am not brave enough to actually go swimming with her and it is a pretty sharp drop off there. I'll have to think about this a bit more. Anyway. I thought I would share the tale of my participation with my riding partner over the 4th and 5th of a horse rescue. She found a yearling wandering around her horses on the 4th and called everywhere she could think of to see if a horse was reported missing. Her and I drove over to a place we thought he may have come from with no luck. We also checked one other place we thought may have horses and he did not come from there. My reasoning was that if he got out and there were other horses around, he would not wander off. So I think he was dumped by her place because her horses are in plain site and close to a well traveled highway. He was extremely thin and probably has worms. There is a large animal rescue group in the area and they came to get him. So far we have not heard of anyone reporting him missing. So. Is this a sign of the times with the economy like it is? I SURE HOPE NOT! -- "Built FJORD tough" Carol M. On Golden Pond Northern Wisconsin

Bit of a brag
This message is from: "Karen Keith" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Just needed to brag a bit, and figured you guys would understand. This weekend my unregistered, formerly grossly overweight, bought-at-auction-in-April Fjord mare went to her first competition, a one-day driving trial. This competition consisted of a dressage test, cones course and a 5.8 km marathon with four obstacles. (Drum roll, please) I'm so proud to say that she performed a decent dressage test, her first time ever in a dressage ring (put us in 2nd place). Never batted an eye at either the judge's canopy or potted plants. This was the first time she'd ever even seen cones, and after hopping sideways going through the first set (killing a cone), she settled down. Two more balls came down during our go, dropping us to 4th place, but she'd been trying very hard to understand what I wanted. Finally, there was the marathon. By the time we got to the third hazard, the light bulb seemed to have switched on, and she just followed my reins without question. Although at the last km she was running out of gas, we still managed to come in on time, which clinched first place in our division! I didn't breed or raise or even begin the training on this mare, but she's got a wonderful mind and is a joy to work with. I'm looking forward to improving our work as a team. Yay Fjords! Cheers! Karen PS - She also had a very "cool" haircut and got lots of attention from the non-Fjordie folks. _ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx

swimming with horses
This message is from: Janet McNally <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Try swimming some time. It's pure enjoyment. Hi Mel, I've watched others swim with their horses, but have wondered, how do you avoid being kicked when they are doing the dog paddle? Do you float high enough to stay clear of the legs? Janet
