Re: Mike
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mike, I don't envy you trying to pass a stone but keep drinking those liquids and maybe you'll have some luck! Everyone told me (this is when I was 22!) that if I could bare the pain of kidney stones, I could make it through child birth! I've since made it through 2 births and I think the kidney stones were worse --- at least I got a beautiful baby girl and boy out of the deal! Good luck. Susan from Minnesota

Watering
This message is from: Doug Knutsen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> From: Peg Knutsen To: All After reading the latest digest, I want to add two pieces of information. The first is that I will use better formatting in the future, so that my sparking wit will be easier to read. The second is that I am only pouring hot water into almost frozen water - which just raises the temperature of the drinking water a few degrees. I'm not giving the Fjords hot or even warm water to drink. Happy Holidays from Western Washington, where we're hoping for a really, truly white Christmas. Peg
Water buckets and Spurs
This message is from: "Margaret Strachan" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I've been enjoying hearing about the travails of keeping horses in cold climates. I have always been amazed at all the work that is necessary. We keep the horses outside year round with shelter, but the shelter is used mostly for shade in the Summer. This morning however, it was actually cold enough to cause a water pipe in the barn to leak. This native Southern Californian actually had to shut off the water and fill buckets for a couple of the horses. It is normally so easy to care for the horses on a day to day basis in this climate; I guess I got a taste of retribution for finding the travails of others amusing. Regarding spurs--yes, for a skilled rider on a horse who has been properly schooled to accept them, or for a horse in training ridden by an experienced rider. For twenty some odd years I rode a highly trained appaloosa who had been schooled with spurs ( I knew who had broke and trained him). He was absolutely push button and responded immediately to a correct cue every time. I believe this was the result of judicious use of spurs during his training. A spur can give a very subtle, distinct cue when used by a skilled rider. I rarely rode him with spurs, and only with the French type that just have "nubbies" on the medial of the inside heel--that was all that was needed. When Barry used him for dressage lessons though he used a prince of wales standard spur, and Eagle was most inspired to perform, but no tail swishing, no discomfort because he actually liked the clear communication. I haven't used spurs on my Fjords, we haven't had problems encouraging forward movement. I would use the French type first should the need arise. I bought the french spurs from Miller's years ago, I don't know if they are still available. Margaret Strachan Village Farm Nuevo, CA Where it's a warm, sunny day after a 25 degree night.

This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (jean gayle) Glad to hear you are still on your feet Mike, whew, worse than childbirth and taking more time. Don't forget to drink lots of liquids, any kind, especially Christmas cheers. Oops guess it would not mix with pain pills. Well lots of luck.

Re: mouthiness
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (jean gayle) You are quite correct Ingrid and we have been through this. This boy loved to interact with everyone only in a bully way. Anyone was in trouble who did not assert dominance from the git go including myself. His brilliance in the shows was only after considerable controls exerted by his riders. Yet to me this is the personality that adds the beauty and spirit that takes the breath away when properly contained. With Charlie it was not the crop it was the two by four. Today at seventeen he is the best mannered and obedient fellow on the place. If I scold him his eyes get all crinkled up as tho he is crying. But he still likes to test a new relationship with a near step on their foot or an imposing head held at 9 feet over their head. He is huge.

For those that don't know, I am trying to give birth to a kidney stone. That is why I haven't had a lot to say. I have been trying since Saturday now. It is getting rather old at this point. I was in the hospital for Monday evening for it. They did a CT Scan and found it but said it was almost out of the kidney so it shouldn't be long now. HA, here it is Wed and I am still waiting for it. Hopefully soon now. Mike
