Dear Fjord List: I've been combing the internet for Fjords for sale and came
across one that I thought somebody up in the Michigan area or Northern Ohio
might be interested in.
There's a Fjord mare for sale in Windsor, Ontario, which is apparently close
to Detro

Yeah - they get the cookies in the bottom, and good little Della actually comes
trotting when she sees it.? Joe is just a horse of a different color.

Lisa,
I've always let my mares wean the foals-some would wean at 6 months, others
a year but until now, I've never had a mare that won't wean her child!
Lilja is an Icelandic mare that was a broodmare for 15 years and she seems
to want a baby every year

Kilar fought his muzzle big time when I first put it on him. I'd find
it just about anywhere in the pasture, frequently with the halter still
attached.. Later, he seemed to get the message, but I'd find him
constantly rinsing it in the water trough. Di

Thanks Lisa!
I had these piles of cash just laying around the house and I was
tempted to buy these 100%, stone ground, whole, natural, organic
devices for my horse's comfort. Now that I won't be buying them I can
get everything Billy Mays yells at me to buy.

Hi Kate,
When I was first getting Tyra (Fjord) and Star (Paso fino) used to the
muzzles (I still do this for Star), I pack fine hay in the bottom and put
one or two horse cookies in there. They are so busy getting the goodies
that they forget they don't

I like the part about the "passionate caregiver."

" Most often the caregiver is reluctant to start the
weaning process because
of the undesirable symptoms that occur using the

Hi List !
OK I admit to a little housebound today with our snowstorm, but just had to
share this in the spirit of friendly advice on the weaning process.
We have weaned our youngsters here both ways. In the endyou

re grazing muzzles.my mini hates his and works very hard to get it off. I
often find him munching away, muzzle dangling and his front leg caught in the
muzzle.he just goes on about his business.
This year I am going to figure out how to keep it on him

Do what feels right! I'm tall (5'10"+) and long legged, but I'm not
as skinny as I used to be, and I'm stronger than I used to be too! I
ride Fjords from 13.3 and up, and while the square built ones (like
mine, 14-14.2) are far more comfy for my length,

There is a very simple orange bucket muzzle. They
are harder to get off and chafe less, I am told. Has

not be big enough).

I try really hard to do right by my Fjords, and now that they have pastures,
that means either keeping them off the pasture, or keeping them in grazing
muzzles for part of the time. So, I introduced the grazing muzzles. The plan
is to have them in m

Thanks for all your comments I am feeling slightly better. I am only 5ft 4
so not tall. Trouble is over here in UK lots of people ride tall horses and
it gets your doubting yourself and of course I want to meet my mare's needs.
We are hoping to do some pl

I bought Joe when he was just coming 6. He has not gotten any taller (he's
a big guy for a Fjord, just under 14'3') but in looking at some pictures of
him, I am really shocked at how he bulked up. Not in terms of weight, he's
actually had a weight i

I have a smallish mare that is about the size of your mare and she is coming 6
in July and unfortunately, I don't think she has grown much since she was 4.
They do gain height in the withers with muscling and my warmblood seemed to get
a little taller unt

Thanks for the replies received so far.
I was asking about height in the hope that my mare might make 13.3-14hhs.
She is currently 13.1hh. To be honest I worry about my weight on her I am

I would have to say that I have seen them grow taller till the age of 5
years. I believe that more weight (fat) can give the appearance that
they are taller when actually they have not grown skeletally, having
more thick fat in the neck and toward
