Gratulere Med Dagen!
This message is from: Terry Hale [EMAIL PROTECTED] Believe it or not - my sweet fjord mare, Ansi, has her birthday tdoday! Gratulere med dagen. We went to the Ballard (Seattle) 17th of May parade today. I really, really (as in really) was planning on taking Ansi and Elvis (May16th birthday)., BUT, got asked to baby-sit darling grandchildren for the weekend. Uff da. Oh well there is always next year. I have to say I saw 5 or 6 beautiful (we know they are) fjords there presented by the Pacific Northwest Fjord Horse group. My hats off to the gentlemen who had on a beautiful Norwegian (wool) sweater. We had unseasonably warm weather. The crowds absolutely loved the fjords as they went by in the parade. I proudly was able to identify what kind of horses are they?? Soo, Hip Hip Hurah!! Hip Hip Hurah! Hip Hiip Hurah - Hurah, Hurah, Hurah, I think it would have been easier taking my fjords than marching in the parade with a 2-year old in the backpack. Hope you all had a great sytende Mai! Ragnhild (Roni) in Graham, WA Ansi and Elvis -- the Fjords... who both got lots of fly spray today. We are in a 1-day heat wave here.

RE: Don't run with scissors
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] I found some blunt tipped scissors ...either seat belt or bandage...that are sharp enough and sturdy enough to hack away at a Fjord mane.

Sweet, romantic Fjords
This message is from: Willows Edge Farm [EMAIL PROTECTED] I had to share this story with everyone since I've never experienced anything like it before. Our stallion Ole has been so depressed the last few days since his favorite mare, Elsie, went up to the Jensen's for training. Seriously, he is moping around, standing in her stall, lower lip totally sagging. It's so pathetic and yet romantic at the same time...during breeding time, he would actually go up and give her kisses and nuzzle her after he was done. Like I said, I've never seen anything like this before. I know horses all have their favorite buddy, but is this an extreme?

Alf is back! Thanks to all who e mailed me!
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dear Fjord horse list, Many thanks to all of you who sent me advice re: Alf. By Last thurs. there was only slight improvement in his attitude; vitals were stable; so had the vet come out and look at him; and decided to sedate and tube him. Tolerated everything well; no impaction on rectal still she commented on how weird and acetone/fruity smelling his manure was. Spent the night in with Val again; and then both were turned out in the AM with their grazing muzzles on for 4 hours to get them re acclimated? to them again. Same thing Sat Sun. By 5 pm this evening; my beloved buck n toot boy was once again charging around the pasture in usual fashion; showing Diva, Jake; and Valdemar who the prince is! Will continue to check vitals;attitude; gut sounds feet ; etc; but I think we have turned in the right direction. Lymes is pending; will repeat the chemisties and CBC this week. Manure appeared normal today and yesterday. Thanks again for being a great source of advice for the novice owner. Susan The FjordHorse List archives can be found at: http://tinyurl.com/rcepw

This message is from: jen frame [EMAIL PROTECTED] Congrats Susan! So, what does it mean? Was he actually collicing all this time? Was he in a ketonic state (creates the fruity/acetone smell in people who are ketonic), if so, does he have blood sugar issues? ? I am so happy to hear he is back!
