Re: Ultrasounding for pregnancy
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Amy K White) Ingrid, I do a lot of ultrasound in my practice, and we usually do an ultrasound at 16-18 days after breeding. Sometimes you can see them earlier, but they can be hard to distinguish from cysts. We recommend a follow up U/S at about 28 days. At that time you can see a heart beat and confirm a viable embryo. -Steve Steve and Amy White On Fri, 26 Jun 1998 19:05:26 -0500 Ingrid Ivic <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: >This message is from: Ingrid Ivic <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > >Hello folks, >I was wondering what guidelines to follow, as far as how early to >have mares ultrasounded to confirm pregnancy.

Hi Ingrid, my mare is at Pat Wolfe's to be bred and what he does is have them ultrasounded 16 days after the last breeding date. If pregnancy is confirmed he then sends the mare home. Lori
Ultrasounding for pregnancy
This message is from: Ingrid Ivic <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hello folks, I was wondering what guidelines to follow, as far as how early to have mares ultrasounded to confirm pregnancy. Our mare just came back last week from the stud's farm and I'm eager to learn if she "caught". A few books I've read, have mentioned ultrasounding can be done as early as three weeks after being bred. The vet I currently use doesn't specialize in horse fertility and pregnancy...he comes out here to do the routine things (shots, sheath cleaning, teeth floating etc.), but that's about it. He also mentioned to me that he considered fjords too small to be examined for pregnancy in the usual way, for fear there would be damage done? Hhh? After this hearing this information today, I did get the name of a vet who specializes in equine reproductive/pregnancy care. This is all new to me and I only want the best for our mares. Just checking in to hear what people who've been down this road before have done. Thanks List!! All the best, Ingrid ;o)
Re: We like to introduce us
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Welcome to Corinna and 'Andreas! Sounds like you have an interesting operation going there in the beautiful state of Montana! Keep in touch with us all. Regards, Bernadine Karns in Michigan-at last, we had rain last night!
We like to introduce us
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Corinna Szymoniak) Hi evrybody, we read the fjordhorse - digest for a few months now and having our first baby this issue sure was interesting for us. Corinna and I ( Andreas) operate a small ranch here in the beautiful Bitterroot Valley in Western Montana. We are not really into breeding, but enjoy our three Fjords plus Baby a lot. We also keep three other horses we already had before we got started with Fords. Two Llamas , three sheep, three goats, cats and our two dogs give us enough to work with. We also do a little ceesemaking,soap out of goatmilk we can really recommend. Our little Filly had no problems at all at seems to enjoy life even witthout a lot of sunshine, since we almost forgot what the sun looks like here in western Montana. Happy Trails ! Andreas
Re: This 'n That
This message is from: saskia <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hi Bernardine, >BTW, we feed hay four times a day!! (I'll get comments on >that, I bet!!) yes, from me!!! I began feeding hay four times a day two months ago, when the vet recommended it! It reduces the possibility of colics, he told me. And the good thing about hay is that they stop eating when they have got enough (well... the Shet is the only one I ever saw stop eating..., our vet didn't know any Fjords personally, that's for sure!). Saskia
Introduction
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] My name is Joel Harman. I own & operate BRASS RING RANCH in a canyon off the Columbia River Gorge near Mosier, OR. I am 70 miles east of Portland. The ranch is 52 Ac of hillside. About 40 Ac is in 2nd growth Douglas Fir & Ponderosa Pine & the rest of the ground is hay ground if it is flat enough to farm. I presently have 7 fjords of which 5 are old enough to get any work out of. I log, farm, drive, ride, & do parades with them. There is a yearling colt & a stud colt born May 25. The yearling is on a lunge line & is ground driven in halter. The colt gets led around, practices loading, & spends less & less time staring the tree or whatever after having one of his "spells". When not staring at the tree, post, whatever - he can be found leaning back on the lead rope with feet splayed out to the side pulling back for all he is worth. He is learning this is a futile exercise. All these horses are for sale. I am having surgery on my torn left rotator cuff 15 July & will be useless for a few months. I have arranged to have 3 of the horses spend the summer at a christian riding camp for children. If I do not sell them I figure a few days on the plow & disc next spring will break the bad habits they will be taught by the children. The horses include a 10 yr stallion, 11yr mare with stud colt, 6 yr mare blind in left eye (still used), 4 yr maiden mare, 4 yr gelding & yearling gelding, The colt will be weaned in Sept& the mare will be bred back. The other mares are out for breeding now then off to summer camp with the gelding. I bet they are excited. Bloodlines are Grabb & Lunaren. Most are registered Canadian, some NFHR. All can be registered NFHR if you so desire - I don't. If you are interested in working horses that are sometimes shown please contact me privately. Delivery & contracts are an option. For the most part I enjoy the reading the digest. I agree with comments posted about keeping personal comments on private e-mail. Thank you for your consideration. Happy Trails Joel Harman 1-541-478-2025
