This message is from: Jean Ernest [EMAIL PROTECTED] HAPPY EASTER! TO THE FJORD LIST. Sue in NM where we have 8 inches of snow and more falling. GOOD HEAVENS! 8 inches snow down there? We have been having early break-up...55 degrees and 14 hours sun every day for the last week and much of the snow is gone! Corrals are a mess but if this keeps up there will be dirt (dry) showing soon! There is actualy some mud now. Fjords are a real mess, but hopefully I will rake off the muck with their loose fur! water is running everywhere, and it will be another wonderful warm sunny day today. HAPPY EASTER EVERYBODY!

White hooves
This message is from: Vicki and Tony Johnston [EMAIL PROTECTED] The best farrier that I've ever had (in Montana) told me that the black hooves were tougher. He used to tell his apprentices that my Bashkir Curly had the closest to perfect hooves that they would ever see. Now, in sandy Florida, that Curly has brittle hooves. I have an Arab with white hooves that has splits that I can't cure. I have another Arab that has some white in her hooves and they have always stayed in great condition. And of course, my Fjord has no problems. So, all I can conclude is that I'd rather be in Montana!! ;-) Vicki Johnston Mims, Florida
Madison Horse Fair
This message is from: Dave and Patti Walter [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thanks Pat, for reminding everyone about the Midwest Horse Fair coming up this next weekend in Madison WI. I'll go a little further and inform everyone who's all in it and what's going on. We have : Nancy Hotovy driving single Mike Sadlon doing single log skid Pat Holland, Joni Griffin, Keelie Finnel, Carlene Schwartz, one of the Megan's and myself all riding. I say one of the Megan's as we have two Megan's riding Arianna, the raffle horse. One will ride on Sat and one will ride on Sun. Keelie Finnel will be doing some tricks on her gelding, Jake along with Megan doing a bow with Arianna. The kids are super fun with their Fjords. We will all be in silver vests this year, silver tassels on the horses, except for lucky me I get to be dressed like the Lone Ranger. The Midwest Horse Fair is celebrating their 25th anniversary along with celebrating famous Horses of Movies/films. Hence, the Silver decor and the Lone Ranger idea. So, Silas is Silver and we will be opening the demo with a jump over a banner that Joni made, that is black and Silver and has 25 Years across the middle. So, no rearing just jumping for this Lone Ranger and Silver. Hi Ho Silas!! The jump on Sat morning will be 3ft, not sure about Sunday, as I am not sure if we can warm up ahead of time. They have a very nice facility, except when it comes to warming up. Only the outdoor and wellin bad weather there is no warm up. So if that is the case, we'll just do 2ft on Sunday. I know we can warm up on Sat, as we ride so early. Our ride times are not the best, but we sure hope you'll come and watch and cheer us on. Sat. 8:40 Sun 9:50 Arianna the raffle horse will also be in a seperate demo, Sat. 8:30 and Sunday 10:00. We are in Barn 5. It's a LONG 4 days for all of us, we sure enjoy seeing everyone, so if you can make it, please come and watch us perform.

Re: White Hooves
This message is from: Emma Bicknell [EMAIL PROTECTED] I was always told as a child that white hooves were weaker and harder to care for and have accepted that, but it could well have been erroneous. I used to have a chestnut mare with white feet and stockings, but as I think about it now I can't remember there being any particular problem with her feet over any other horse's. Then again, she was an Arab which might complicate things! My older Fjord mare's feet are a bit dry and fragile at the moment and we are treating them regularly...I suppose its a combination of factors.

We just finished a farrier course and every time we got out a new set of hooves we all went for the white ones. They were softer and much easier to work with. My two cents worth. The relative softness probably had more to do with the animal's breed, health, and living conditions than color. Stalled horses have weaker feet, as do shod horses. Breeds like Arabs and Fjords are known for their granite-like feet, especially when kept barefoot. Too many factors. / )_~ /L/L Brigid Wasson SF Bay Area, CA www.Brigid.Clickryder.com
