Hi Vivian,
 
I live in Spring Hill Florida and I would like to inquire about the mare you 
are bringing to Florida this week.  How old is she, what color, how big and 
general information.  I currently own 2 Fjords, one mare, I plan to breed this 
spring and one gelding.  I also have a Gypsy Vanner mare who is currently in 
foal.  I am interested in starting a small breeding farm and we are in the 
process of purchasing more property for this purpose.  We are not going for 
quantity but quality in our babies and whatever horses join our farm will be 
spoiled rotten and not just broodmares.
 
Please let me know the above info as well as how much you are asking for her.  
Looking forward to hearing from you soon.
 
Sincerely,
 
Julie DeSpirt

I'd try again. If anyone received this post individually can you let  
me know. Thanks

I'll be heading to Black Prong in Bronson FL this Sunday. I'll be
bringing three ponies of my own. One a beautiful Fjord mare I will be
coming with me and is possibly for sale. She rides and drives and is a
proven broodmare. Anyone wishing to see her should call me on my cell
phone which is my only means of communication 802 376-4913.

I will be available to give driving lessons while there, again call my
cell. I'm competing at Nature Coast so will need a week to settle in
and get through the event but I'm staying until the beginning of
April. Looking forward to meeting many southern Fjord people this
year. Black Prong is an amazing facility for those of you who want to
compete your ponies in CDEs there is no better place to get them
ready. It is Disneyland for drivers!

Also I am looking for someone local to Bronson to help me out as I
will have 6 ponies in work while there. The girl who was going to help
me out unfortunately broke her arm last week. I will need morning help
with turn out, getting the barn ready for evening, grooming etc.

Hope all of you who want to get those sleighs out get the snow you
lack and those of you who have more snow than you need get a break.
Have a great winter wherever you live.
Regards, Vivian Creigh

Onna,
 
I have 2 Fjords that yawn excessively during stressful situations.  If I am 
training and they don't understand, they start yawning.  I think this is very 
common as I also had a Foxtrotter that did the same thing.  Give him some time 
to settle and I bet it stops.
 
Good Luck,
 
Julie

Hello,
Does anyone know the reason or reasons a horse may start to yawn  
excessively. I recently have taken a horse with a 2 week lease toward  
purchase. 
After a 
couple of days, he started to yawn. Maybe 6 to 8 times  in a row. I have been 
told this is because of pain, having to adjust to a  new environment, or liver 
problems. All different vets or  people horse owner answers.  I am taking him 
to the vet  today to check him out. He hasn't had his sheath cleaned and he 
is 6 years  old. So he may have a bean. He is also grieving for his old buddies 
and  home. He seems to be sound otherwise. Just had his feet done, and his 
feet  are fine. Incidentally he is a cross. Mom is 1/2 Arab and 1/2 QH, and his 
 

dad is 1/2 QH and 1/2 Fjord. He is a really cute buckskin dun and very  well 
trained. Gets alone well with my Fjord. Thanks,  Onna

Re: Fjord Manure Spreader

Mark,

I have been using the Newer spreader for 1 1/2 years now.  I have had no 
problems with it at all.  As far as wet manure, manure mixed with dirt or 
shavings 
the only problem I have encountered is that it tends to stick on the blades a 
little.  All you have to do is hose it down after spreading.  I only have 2 
Fjords, but I first saw the spreader at my trainers farm and she boards at 
least 12 horses.  The spreader has simplified our cleanup and saves us alot of 
time and effort.  I think it is well worth the investment and I would not be 
without one.

Hope this helps in your decision making.
