Re: Hello and introducing myself
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thank you. I am eagar to learn all I can about this Fjord adventure I am about to embark on. Linda Lottie Hi Linda, I'm Pamela. Last year about this time I was in the same spot as you were. With a quarter horse and just bought my first fjord. I think you will enjoy the ride g. I've found that just about all horse people are great to be around, but have discovered, happily, that Fjord people are the highest calibre and nicest of the bunch! Getting ready to go to the Evaluation in Eugene this weekend. Anyone else going? I know Ursula is, and I hope to meet you there. Looking forward to my first real Fjord gathering! Pamela
Hello and introducing myself
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hello, my name is Linda Lottie. I recently signed-on to the mailing list. I live in Corcoran, Minnesota (a rural area near Minneapolis). I own a quarter horse and am purchasing a Fjord the end of next week. My Fjord is a l0 year old gelding. Both horses will be coming to our hobby farm in a week or two. I am interested in suggestions or comments regarding carts. At this time I am thinking of an easy entry metal or wood cart or a wooden road cart. Most of my initial driving will be on mowed grassy areas on my property or gravel roads. I do not plan to show this horse. Also, my Fjord is trained for driving and has not been ridden since he was very young. We would like to ride him as well. Has anyone worked with an older Fjord making the transition from driving to riding? Any suggestions or comments would be most welcome. Thank you. I am eagar to learn all I can about this Fjord adventure I am about to embark on. Linda Lottie
Re: Bits...
This message is from: Anneli Sundkvist [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi! Just a question: I´m not familiar with some of the the bit-types that has been discussed, and since there have been many very good messages about bitting it would be intresting to know how these bits look, to understand the articles fully. So - do anyone know of a web site with pics of Tom Thumb and Glory Butterfly bits? Here in Sweden, all dressage classes at easy level MUST be ridden on a snaffle, so most people therefore train with snaffles. I use a 3-piece stainless steel snaffle for my mare, which works very good. My young gelding has a jointed snaffle made from argentan, a silver/copper/steel-mix. For jumping, hunts and trail rides a bit called Pessoa bit is very popular. It looks like a jointed snaffle but has small rings over and under the ordinary snaffle-ring. One fasten the reins either in the snaffle ring or in one of the small rings under the snaffle ring. It normally doesn´t have a curbchain/strap, but some people use it. I myself use such a bit on my mare when riding in the fields or jousting. I´ve tried to make a drawing of it: o o O-o-O o o o o (but i guess it will get strange...) Sometimes an English Pelham is used for jumping, hunting etc, but it has gone less usual since the break-through of the Pessoa-bit. Another bit I use is a mild hackamore with shorts shanks. Sometimes when it´s darn cold I feel that this might be better for my horse than a metal bit. Regards Anneli
