Robert Duncan Fjord Painting
This message is from: Misty Meadows B B [EMAIL PROTECTED] Recently, I bought The 2000 Homeland Calendar which features prints by Robert Duncan. Imagine the pleasant surprise I found in the pictureTo Spring Pastures. Of course it is his best painting ever. You can view a poster of this wonderful fjord picture at www.digisys.net/bayside/posters/duncan/duncanim.htmlScroll down to the very bottom of the page and click on page 8. Look at To Spring Patures. Don't buy them out before I get a chance to order one. There are still calendars left (see other calendar) and the fjord picture in it is of good size and quality for framing as well.

This message is from: Carl Sarah Nagel [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hello from Teresa horse-sitting at Sarah's in the Selkirk Mountains of Idaho: Cheryl said: Hi everyone.. I have three questions to address: pick one in replying so we don't mess up the archives? 2OR better to build a wood corral Chip built a simple round pen with poles and hot wire. Took about two days, drains well, and can come down and move easy. Jen can undo the 'gate' (hot wire) from her horse which is good trail practice. Cheap and easy alternative if your not sure. 3. Finally .. I have my own brag alert .. can't keep quiet anymore -- my eldest son, Julien, just won a JUNO (Cdn equivalent of a musical Oscar, I guess) CONGRATULATIONS Cheryl!! You have every right to be proud! and you DO NOT have to shut up - Good kids don't raise themselves and successful kids, no matter how large or small the milestone, can only be successful because their parents nurtured their natural talents and built upon a solid foundation to strengthen their weak areas. Besides, a number of the same principles apply to children and horses: 1) If they aren't responding in the correct way you need to change how you are teaching so they can understand what you expect from them. 2) Praise often for correct behaviors and 'No' won't need to be in your vocabulary very often 3)Talk in a confident, soothing voice; screaming will only upset and confuse everyone. 4) Lavish love and one-on-one attention on a daily basis for the best results. 5) Listen to you child/horse, develope the telepathy people were talking about, know their individual personality and teach to it - your surprises will always be pleasant in nature.
Redmond Ore auction
This message is from: Jean Gayle [EMAIL PROTECTED] I see that Ramona Turmon has a 3 yr old fjord mare and an eight year old gelding in her April carriage and horse auction. The mare looks iffy but the gelding is fair. The manes are roached so that does not show them off well. There are a couple of Belgians that look half starved.

Re: feeding
This message is from: Laurie Pittman [EMAIL PROTECTED] This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] The mare is quite the eater - fast and efficient. The gelding is slow and likes to pick at his hay all day long. Now that they are together, it is quite a challenge to keep them eating only what they are supposed to eat. How do all of you handle this? I work all day, so it has to be fast and not labor intensive. I work all day too, and don't have time to play referee, so I keep my guys separate during the week. They each have their own pasture. On the weekends I do turn them out together. This has worked well for me. Laurie
feeding
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I am putting my horses (mare and 10 month old gelding) back together after 4 months separation for weaning(separated by a fence so they could see each other). The mare only gets 1 lb. of oats twice a day and this will be further reduced. The gelding gets 3 lbs. twice a day. He is a slow eater and will not defend his food. They both get two hefty flakes of hay twice a day. The mare is quite the eater - fast and efficient. The gelding is slow and likes to pick at his hay all day long. Now that they are together, it is quite a challenge to keep them eating only what they are supposed to eat. How do all of you handle this? I work all day, so it has to be fast and not labor intensive. There is only a 12x12 barn (one stall). Currently, I halter the mare in the barn and tie her at her feed tub with some hay and water nearby. The gelding eats at his feed tub in another corner not tied up. I let the mare loose when the gelding is finished. They have separate piles of hay outside.
Re: Of Lice and wo(MEN) and Round Pens
This message is from: Jean Gayle [EMAIL PROTECTED] Congratulations Cheryl on your son's achievements. Where did he use to practice his music? Can't imagine surviving some of that din. Of course that is what my Grandmother used to also say. Re lice, honest, never had them. Did have one horse some years ago have possible ring worm and the vet who is not very popular had me wash my horse with ddt. A very dangerous and now banned substance. Jean Ugh, it is now in the forties, gray and raining torrents.

Re: Of Lice and wo(MEN) and Round Pens
This message is from: Cheryl Beillard [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi everyone.. I have three questions to address: pick one in replying so we don't mess up the archives? 1. Who out there will admit to having had lice in their barn? and what did you do about it? My new filly came with some, I'm afraid ..something that can happen in a large herd .. and after not being happy about the state of her coat since she arrived, I had a good look with the vet, and discovered that yes, there were some little critters, the same colour as fjord fur, hiding in that thick winter mat. I've put something called Dry Kill dust on it (Rotenone and Sulphur) .. but don't know if it will need more than one or two applications and if I should dust my pregnant mare (she's due April 16) .. I know you can eat vegetables after a rain, if you 've dusted with Rotenone, but wonder about the sulphur. And yes, when they were small my kids came home with head lice too .. the whole neighbourhood was shampooing in that disgusting soap! 2. I am looking to start ground driving the same filly, when it's a little warmer and at the moment, have no pen or ring to work in. Am going to build one .. but the question is a) how big and b) what material. I see that John Lyon advertises them, of course, but I'll bet they are pricey. OTOH, you can move it or sell it I guess if you find you're not using it? OR would it be better to build a wood corral (round cedar rails is probably the cheapest option, as we can cut them on our property) .. but then it's permanent. 3. Finally .. I have my own brag alert .. can't keep quiet anymore -- my eldest son, Julien, just won a JUNO (Cdn equivalent of a musical Oscar, I guess) .. granted it was awarded with the group last Sat. night, rather than on Sunday when Celine Dion, Shania Twain and Sarah McLaughlin were all up for the big one, etc. but it is a great feeling nonetheless .. His band, the Wooden Stars, won for Best Alternative Album, which just about sums up his lifestyle until now! And I have to eat my words, .. and there were a lot of them, over the years! Now I'll shut up.
Re: Glen Tanar Eide photographs
This message is from: Jean Gayle [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sini, Somnus really had a great day. The only way I can get my Holsteiner mare to exercise is to put her in a separate pasture from the boys whom she controls. Then she screams very loudly if they dare get out of her sight and canters wildly about, pointing with her nose at me to move her and in her fury bucking and kicking back. She really is not a lady at these times. 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

This message is from: David Stewart, Registrar [EMAIL PROTECTED] -Original Message- From: Jean Gayle [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: fjordhorse@angus.mystery.com fjordhorse@angus.mystery.com Date: 18 March 2000 06:30 Subject: Re: Glen Tanar Eide photographs This message is from: Jean Gayle [EMAIL PROTECTED] Jean and Sini, Thanks for the kind words about Glen Tanar Helga's filly foal, Glen Tanar Eide. I will pass on your comments to her owner, Jacqueline Rider. The reason I know that Glen Tanar Eid is the UK's first foal of the millennium is because I am Register of the FHRS, which is a UK based Fjord horse breed organisation. No other members from England, Wales or Ireland have announced the birth of a foal, although there are several due in the coming weeks!Also, as Britain has less than 200 Fjords in total, for us, the birth of a foal is big news and something that is discussed by members from all over the U.K. Already, two days after her birth, Glen Tanar Eide is even being discussed in America! This, however, is a first for us! Finally, I spoke with Jacqueline today and she informs me that two horse magazines and two newspapers are publishing articles about Glen Tanar Eide. The press have already sent photographers to take pictures. That, I think, is good publicity for the breed in Britain. David David, what I find most exciting about Glen Tanar Eide is that England knows this is their first Fjord foal of the millennium She is darling and seems glad to be here.

ANYONE ELSE WHO IS INTERESTED (and I am watching) CAN CONTINUE ON.. Jennie Sanders, (my daughter, niece of Sarah Nagel and niece-by-friendship of Michelle Noonan, employee and friend of Chip Lamb) for those of you who don't remember her, she is the little girl (small joke -- she's 6' tall) who started totally green last spring working for Chip and ended up placing in all her novice events at Libby including a first in pack horse --we're still smiling from all the fun. Yesterday, four ladies interviewed Jennie to be a delegate at Girl's State, the girl's are judged on academics (3. or above), physical fitness, talent, leadership skills (she's never held a class office and almost didn't apply because she didn't think she'd have a chance), community involvement, educational goals and strength of character. This being her first real interview she wasn't sure how it went. One lady was actually dozing during the interview! Today was the Idaho Panhandle Regional Solo Ensemble competition for high school. Jennie plays the french horn. Since the band kids would be gone when the winners were announced the teacher announced it on the bus---you guessed it!--Jennie was appointed!! During her solo performance Jennie was more nervous then I've ever seen her but she played her difficult piece well. The judge critiqueing (sorry no spell check here-we're horse sitting tonight) her performance kept saying, when you go to state, if you go to state, back and forth, back and forth. So she's been on pins and needles all evening awaiting the official verdict. She did it! We are so proud of her and she is so amazed about todays happenings she is walking on air, (but just to keep her head out of the clouds, she fell on her tush and slid down the front stairs at Chips tonight, she will be sore tommorow. I guess the moral of the story is: Cowgirl's CAN do anything when they set their hearts and minds to it!

Congratulations to Jennie and to all who have helped her to these accomplishments. This news reminds me of our two kids competeing at music. It's great to hear of kids headed in the right direction and adults standing behind them and being very involved. Keep it up Jennie. Carol M. On Golden Pond Siren WI
Re: Glen Tanar Eide photographs
This message is from: sini seppala [EMAIL PROTECTED] I seem to be all mixed up - it's not Sunday yet, is it! So have a good Saturday all. :) Sini PS. Somnus had a lot of fun today. It was his turn to be loose and he took good care of the mares who were in two pastures, visiting both places regularly, wandering in the woods a bit, climbing the rocks, tasting juicy young branches and cantering and bucking a little every now and again as he was in such a good mood. We like to keep one of them loose almost every day, sometimes all day, and they seem to enjoy it a lot. They never go very far but entertain themselves exploring all kinds of things. They gladly join Pauli (husband) when he makes firewood and try and give us a hand when we go back and forth in the yard with the wheelbarrow. :) sini seppala wrote: Have a good Sunday Jean, it's bedtime here (and hay time for the horses, just came in after feeding them).
