soft hooves
This message is from: Mary Thurman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Duane, You mention Solvaktig has soft white hooves. It is possible that the softness has nothing to do with the hooves being white. Your area, or the area where your hay is grown, may have soil that is high in selenium. I understand that this can cause horses' hooves to become soft. We have the opposite condition out here and rarely ever see soft hooves, even with wet ground. Ask your vet if there is any way to counteract the selenium. We don't have selenium in our soils, so we feed it as a supplement. Not sure how you would "unfeed" it, but there must be a way. Our Line, who is I believe, Solvaktig's great-grandmother (Stella's dam) has dark hooves which are hard as rocks. She also has prominent black in her mane and tail, a light black dorsal stripe, and striping on her knees, as well as black to the knees on her front legs.

Re: newsletter response
This message is from: BKFJORDS <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Nancy, Thanks for your email-so near, yet so far!! Silly isn't it? Glad your boy/s are riding!! Surprised about the bucking, we haven't had any do that, although have talked to others that have. My 'trusty' mare-Gretel- that I loaned to hubby to take on a round-up last fall, bucked with him, but found out that she needed a chiropractic adjustment! She needs another now, so have not been using her. Pooh! Have used easy-boots once-they were extremely hard to get off & on and tore my hands up!! Have thought about them for Parades, but don't want the hassle (or expense). Our Vet lives 1/2 mile away, and I crindge when we have to call him after hours or on a week-end, as I know the value of family life!! Our kids went to country school with him, so we've know him for a loong time and sometimes that helps. Still waiting for that baby!! Bernadine in Michigan

show dates
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] From Fiona Nicholson ,Yorkshire, England. Some of my friends in our fjord society have asked me to put a message on the list,to see if any body knows the dates of the main Fjord shows in Denmark or Holland ,this year or next. they would like to visit ,most of the fjords in GB are of Danish origin,so they thought that might be agood place to go. I had shown them the mail on the evaluations so it has got them thinking about the standards etc I know from the mail quite a few of you have traveled to Norway and holland do you think my friends would be better to go to norway ! or indeed if anyone has any ideas on how we can learn more about evaluations standards we would like to hear we have only 200 fjords here ,i think only 8 stallions ,most of the fjords are in non showing homes so you only get to see a few fjords ,for real on which we can learn from? well this list is certainly getting us all thinking,so please keep sharing your knownledge with us, its good reading HAPPY FJORDING FIONA,BULLER BILLY AND SADIE The Shetlands VERY HOT AND SUNNY TODAY PS please excuse my typing its hopless !!

photo
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] SASKIA I shall tell Buller he has a fan in Belgium he'll like that ! Im glad you got the picture ok, of course by today id forgotten how to scan the pictures already, as i told you yesterday im not very computer friendly I have visited Belgium a few times, going to Holland or Belgium on the ferry is very popular because of the local daily ferry service. Which part of Belgium do you come from ? It is nice where i live, we are on the Yorkshire Wold Hills ,so the riding is good, plenty of nice country lanes and Bridle ways, the area is also Viking country,many of our local place names are scandanavian in origin . maybe Buller and i have ridden in the footsteps of his viking ancestors on one of the ancient by ways we ride on no The historical city of York ,known as jorvik in viking times is just 35 miles away its a beautiful place . so if you are ever in yorkshire i hope we could meet you Happy Fjording! Fiona, Buller,Billy and Sadie the shetlands Very hot and sunny today in East Yorkshire .
