Re: fjordhorse-digest V2000 #42
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fiona, The catapiller that someone talked about that was introduced to the Northwest to help control Tansy Ragwort is the caterpiller from the cinnibar moth. Both the moth and the catapiller are lovely. The moth is scarlet with black trim and the catapiller is orange with many black stripes. The catapillers do eat the plant down fairly well when enough of them are present on the plant but I have seen flowers push through on the mutilated stems later in the season when the catapillers have gone. Persistant buggers, those plants. One thing that has worked for me for spot killing of Tansy and other weeds is concentrated UREA. i buy it by the bag and walk around with a bucket full. I step on each plant first to bruise it and then drop a handfull of the urea on it and it burns the plant quite effectively. Probably quite similar to salt. Of course guys may take a different approach to this application with similar results but I will let that be. Anne

3 Grey Fjords
This message is from: "fjords" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Grey & Grey & Grey, We love the greys, We have 3 Grey stallions and they do come in different shades of silver or grey. I would rather call the greys, silver and the brown duns, goldens. Wouldn't you ? In person there is no mistaking a grey for a brown dun. A black nose, black eyes, dark black markings, Winter photo's, I am sorry are probably the worst for showing their true colour, as they all lighten with winter woolens, even the goldens Our latest grey Hansen's Sven is a relation to Rudaren. He is the darkest grey of our three. Snowy's Cosmo is second darkest and Comet is the lightest grey. All greys do darken with age. Hanson's Sven is a wonderful result of Gayle Wares breeding, Paradise's Celebrity & Majason. Celebrity is a big beautiful mare with ample shoulders, she is a great granddaugter of Rudaren. Already as a coming 2 year old Sven shows a dark grey colouring with dark markings and big shoulders. Snowy's Cosmo has the most beautiful head I have ever seen. He has an elegent body, great movement and is a total pleasure to ride. He is my favorite He stand s at 14.2 I only wish I had Gayle Ware next door to learn from. Cosmo has a want to attitude. Snowy's Comet his full brother although just turning 3 is already more drafty and also 14.2 hh. He has a sweet disposition & works in harness with Cosmo. They are beautiful together I'll have to get some photo's of Sven on our web page. You can see Cosmo & Comet the dream team on our web page www.fjordhorse.net As soon as the winter woolens are gone we can line all 3 of them up in a row and take a good photo for our web page.

I've therefore thought a lot > about getting safety stirrups. Hmm, the hook is not really designed to allow the stirrup to come off to prevent dragging. If you fell off in a downward direction (highly likely, when you consider gravity) They would probably stay put. The hook is to prevent hooking on a fence and catching. I have pulled mine off that way a few times. However, if you are worried about dragging, You don't have to go to all this trouble. With a fitted set of stirrups (one finger on either side) and boots with 1/2 inch heels (at least) You should have no trouble. Note on the "Quick out" stirrups, they are not always such a good idea. If you are a good rider, they are okay, but people out of balance or who are prone to almost falling out, the stirrup stops being a good idea and starts being a catapult. Lean on the side, and it flings you out into space. No of course, if you were really in trouble, this catapult away from hooves is good, but I know that I personally come close to falling off a lot more often than I get in real trouble. I don't think that if every time Fj pulled a fast one my stirrups launched me I would be very happy. This is not just what might happen, I have a friend that spent a summer being launched.

Grey Fjords - Brown Coloring?
This message is from: GAIL RUSSELL <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I am trying to figure out whether Odin is grey dun or not. He has so much brown on him right now, that I wonder. His nose is chocolate brown/grey, has grey eyebrow marks (little question marks), his dorsal stripe is like a chocolate Lab, his leg markings are chocolate Lab color- when he was younger he had grey marks higher up on his legs than our brown duns - where they have only a darker version of the body color. His sides are silver/white now. There is no hint whatsover that his body will ever be anything but white/silver. If he isn't grey - I don;t know what to call him because there is not the slightest hint of brown in his body color. Below is a picture of ERLEND on Julie Will's site that looks very much like Odin is likely to turn out (from present appearances) except that Odin's body is white now. Notice the brown look of the legs. I happen to know that Erlend's coat is more steely grey, less brown looking than this picture. Not sure about Erlend's legs. Anyway, Odin's present color leads me to believe he will look *like this picture* (the picture does not reproduce Erlend's body color well) except Odin will possibly have a white body. http://www.oldhickoryfarm.com/erw95.jpg This next link is Erlend offspring. Odin looks very much like him except that it appears that his legs will not be as dark (from his winter coat at least). He did have the upper dark mark on his legs when he was a couple months old, but the marks were not as dark and they have faded from grey to a light version of chocolate brown. Odin has the dark eyebrow markings and the dark on his nose. His sides are lighter yet though. http://www.oldhickoryfarm.com/alex.jpg If Odin is grey - I think I've discovered that the horses we call grey really have quite a bit of brown in them. Or maybe he is just going through a phase. If he is not grey, his testicles will be in the frypan next week. (Did the old time cowboys eat that kind of Rocky Mountain Oysters - the ones I've tried were from pigs - and were tasty!)? If he is grey, we will continue considering their fate for a while longer. By the way, if anyone knows of any grey stallions (or mares) out there that carry Rudaren/Regin blood, I would be interested in knowing about them.

Camargue saddles, was Re: Safety stirrups
This message is from: "saskia schoofs" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hej Sini! > Have got two pairs of those camargue ones - bought them in Germany can I ask you where in Germany? I am dreaming since three years of a Camargue saddle, but I have no idea where to find one. I went to the Camargue a year ago, but couldn't find a saddlery there. As Camargue horses are rather robust, I think a Camargue saddle would be excellent on Sybren... :-) (The :-) is a nervous grin, as I've never been on a horse that never had someone on top of him before...

Re: Snipping on Sonny
This message is from: "Jean Gayle" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Re snipping. I had a beautiful collie and as he grew and took more interest in the neighborhood girls he kept finding ways to by pass our fence. I would have to yell and scream to no avail trying to find him and usually when I got home he would be sitting there like, "where you been Mom?" Finally he sneaked back in one day and I was ready for him, hoisted him into the back of the truck (seemed to take years before this one hundred pound collie could jump in by himself) and off we went went to the scissors. Forever after it seemed to me he looked at me with that expression of " the punishment did not fit the crime" Jean Jean Gayle Aberdeen, WA [Authoress of "The Colonel's Daughter" Occupied Germany 1946 TO 1949 ] http://www.techline.com/~jgayle Barnes & Noble Book Stores
Re: Safety stirrups
This message is from: "Jean Gayle" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Anneli, re safety stirrups. I have the rubber band type and have for over twelve-fourteen years. I put the stirrup on the leather so that the rubber is toward the horse and then do not have to go on answering questions about them. Approximately, five years ago my Howdie fjord and I were having a really good trot in the field when he suddenly went down on both knees. I later found a sharp rock on the path and he was bare foot. I was thrown onto his neck but when he threw his head up to get his front legs up it stunned me and the next thing I knew I had a frightened horse at full gallop and I was riding on his side like an Indian. I had no place to go but off. My father was a cavalry man and told us to always hold onto the reins. My feet were still in the stirrups. So I let go and was snapped around but survived the fall. Had to throw the helmet away. surprisingly little damage to my self. When I got up I was barefooted, well I still had my socks on. One boot, ankle type, was about twenty feet away and the other was stuck in the wire graduated fence. That meant to me that the stirrups had held the boots until gravity pulled my feet out. So it took a heavy (me) yank (yikes) to free my feet, but it did. It seems to me that without the safety stirrups I would have been dragged by a very wild horse. I am still using them. There is another type of safety stirrup that I have in antique style where it is an extra foot rest and swings away from the stiff one. If I can find them I will send you a picture with my Sony!

This message is from: sini seppala <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hejsan Anneli undrar vad som händer till våra skandinaviska bokstäver nu när de far genom listans server. :) Have got two pairs of those camargue ones - bought them in Germany but they seem to be exactly like the ones Hooks (with dots) in Sweden has. I think they're great because they are so safe and don't come off accidentally like the ones with rubber bands. Why do you think it's possible to get stuck? The only thing I can think of is that if you have really deep and prominent figures under your soles they might get stuck unders ome circumstances. That's why we always wear shoes with relatively plain soles when riding. We attach these camargue ones to our western saddles, too, when we use them. We just put their stirrup leathers through the girth ring up there and don't use the original stirrups of the saddle at all (in fact we've removed them, only their wide, empty leathers are left).

They had trouble with "cats" in their area quite frequently. He used to keep a radio in his barn tuned to an all-night station - preferable a talk show - to help keep the cougars away from the barn. Seems they don't like the sound of a human voice. Of course, those cougars were truly wild ones. Don't know how successful this would be with our "more urban" cats these days. Around here at least, they seem to be becoming very comfortable with humans in some cases - even appearing in daylight in the Seattle suburbs! Out here in Aberdeen we live at the very southern end of the Olympic Penninsula, so cougars are always a possibility these days (what with the ban on hound hunting). I have had a radio in our barn tuned to an all-night talk show for the past year. It's on a timer set to come on about 1 hour before dark and go off about an hour after daylight. It also seems to keep the coyotes away - which has been a problem in past years. The horses seem to enjoy the 'company' at night. If I go out to the barn at night they are lying down in their stalls facing the radio(which is in the haybarn right next to the horsebarn) with their ears up apparently listening. You might try this as 'exta insurance'. Let us know how it comes out. Mary = Mary Thurman Raintree Farms [EMAIL PROTECTED] __ Do You Yahoo!? Talk to your friends online with Yahoo!

Ribbons
This message is from: "Catherine Lassesen" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Steve, Oh about 10 years ago, I had a pretty good formula going. But it is different for each area. What some clubs are doing now a days is getting all the ribbons in their "CLUB COLORS" and then a small attachment in the color of the placing with the placing written on it. Then at the end of the year. They just remove the small placing attached ribbon and can put a new one on for little money. So, your 5th places one year could be your 1st places the next year. We also do a "pick a ribbon" show. This is where donated back ribbons and all extra ribbons are place in a box and the riders pick the ribbon they want. Most children do not care if the ribbon is BLUE. Girls like the PINK ones. My 2 cents. Catherine Lassesen in Southern Oregon.

This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] In a message dated 2/9/00 4:22:01 AM Pacific Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: << What is your opinion on safety stirrups? Am I over-reacting here? >> I believe in always taking safety precautions whenever possible. So all my saddles (except my newest one which I will get done this week or next) have safety stirrups on them. I use the ones with rubber bands. Many years ago I was on a horse I'd never ridden before. He reared up so high that if I didn't come off, he would have flipped over backwards (maybe this is why the owners were selling him??). I was ready to make my exit, but my foot was trapped. It took all my quickest thinking and energy to get my foot outa that stirrup before I got squished. I did, but it gave me no time to look where I was landing or to gather myself to land on my feet (which I'm pretty good at). Landed on my seat, on a sharp rock! Safety stirrups would have been nice at that point :/They don't allow safety stirrups at shows, but when I start showing, I won't mind changing into all iron stirrups for an hour or so, on a horse I know very well.

Safety stirrups
This message is from: Anneli Sundkvist <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> A couple of weeks ago I got my new saddle. It's a Swedish designed saddle, built on a ralide western tree. It looks something in between a traditional spanish, english and western saddle. Both me and my horse like it - so far so good. I've ridden English all my life and therefore I'm used to English tack. All English saddles have a 'safety hook' where you fasten the stirrup leather. If you keep the 'hook' in good shape, it will release the stirrup leather if you fall of and got dragged after the horse. My new saddle, however, lacks this safety contruction. You fasten the stirrup leathers in the tree itself, which means that IF I would be dragged after my horse - there is no weak parts that would break and release me. I've therefore thought a lot about getting safety stirrups. The kinds of safety stirrups available here are: 1. Safety stirrup with one side consisting of a rubber band. 2. "Australian" safety stirrups with one curved side to release the foot easier. 3. Icelandic stirrups - both sides curved. 4. "Cage-shaped" stirrups. Looks like traditional stirrups from Carmague, France. The "cage" prevents the foot from slipping all the way through the stirrup. BUT - all these stirrups have disadvantages too. There have been cases when peole have gotten stuck in the aussie-stirrups, so might happen with the Icelandic stirrups too. I have a pair of cage-shaped stirrups and I belive that they are to low and to narrow - mabye I can't slip through them (which I'm sure I wouldn't do anyway) but it's possible to get stuck and get dragged after the horse. Seems like I have to buy myself a pair of rubber-band-stirrups. What is your opinion on safety stirrups? Am I over-reacting here? I actually never known anyone who has gotten draged after the horse, but I would rather not be the first one...they told you all the time at the riding school that this was a GREAT RISK and still, after 25 years, that little bell is ringing inside my head.

Re: Safety stirrups
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] In my opinion the peacock stirrups (the rubber band ones) are great as long as you don't have a tendency to "lean" on the outside wall of your iron. I used those in my lesson program for a while and had kids break them everyday due to the leaning problem. I would like to get the "flex" stirrups. I think those would be just as effective. Kate
