Re: Riding pants
This message is from: Lynn [EMAIL PROTECTED] Misha I have been doing dressage for years, but would go to enormous lengths to find excuses not to actually take my horse to a competition day. Loved the lessons, loved the training but something about the competition just wasn't me. I finally gave up and have withdrawn from the dressage scene - no great loss I was never an ace competitor, just a weekend dabbler) and have never been happier with my horses. I used to think it was because I am not very competitive by nature, but gradually the truth dawned on me. I can't stand the getting dressed up. Me or the horses. SO as a swan around the paddock in my riding tights (black stretchy things with a full deerskin seat which I bought over the internet from US) and my baggy T shirts I am happy. If my horses ever get shown, I might just have to get somebody else to do it and I can be the messy strapper in the background!. I am still smarting because I had to buy a white halter to present my Friesian to the evaluators and I hate the blasted thing. Waste of money. Lynn -- From: misha nogha [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: fjordhorse@angus.mystery.com Subject: Riding pants Date: Friday, 21 April 2000 8:31 AM This message is from: misha nogha [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hey Gayle well that's why I ride in those Miller's jeans with the knee patches. Those darn things are pretty comfy. But then again, not very western. Who knows what they are. Okay I think I vote for Mongolian style baggy pants tucked in tall soft boots and a leather full seat. Ha. Now that would be comfort, and sticky to the saddle too, which on Ingmar who moves big and who moves FAST is a big plus!! Then you have this sort of tunic affair so when you sit in the saddle your shirt doesn't creep up if you are flat out. Maybe we could learn a thing or two from those horse culture people, they start riding at five years old. They spend a lot of time in the saddle. I think I might actually enter a horse show if I could wear what I wanted to, use what tack I liked. You know when I rode in dressage I liked the schooling show clothes, like paddock boots and a sweatshirt and riding breeches. Pretty comfy stuff that. I never made it to a real show because I couldn't bring myself to buy the duds. Pretty bratty I know. Life is too short. I work so hard all the time. If I want to ride I want to have some fun. I think we all work too darn hard. I think life is for living until you're not there anymore. But hey, for people that like to show and wear the correct outfits and have all matching tack etc. More power to ya. I enjoy watching and I will cheer and ooohh and ahhh support you from the stands to beat the band and I will mean it!!! Misha Shota Fjords http://www.eoni.com/~mishamez
Rules Regulations galore!
This message is from: Jon Mary Ofjord [EMAIL PROTECTED] Along those same lines, under Western Section, concerning attire, it also says that necktie, kerchief or bolo tie, trousers or pants, chaps and boots are required! Usually neck ties and chaps are optional in other rule books. Sigh!...all this and NO jeans? Well, there goes my show career, if I ever had one. Life's too short and I'm too old to learn all those rules and regulations. I'll be perfectly content to ride my horses around home and maybe take them to a Fun Day once in a while. I'll be leanin' on the fence, relaxed and happy, watchin' all the rest of you... ;-) Mary O. from Muddysota

Fjord Gelding for sale
This message is from: Deborah Simpson [EMAIL PROTECTED] I recently subscribed to your group mostly with the hope of having a forum for placing my fjord gelding. He is 11 yrs old and 15 hands. He is a son of Per. I have owned Klove for 6 years and have had nothing but wonderful experiences with him.. He has mostly been used for trail riding although he has had a few stints as a dressage rider's mount. I am asking 5,500 for him to the right home-I am very selective. If interested, please contact Deborah Simpson @ 704-895-9937 or e-mail me @ [EMAIL PROTECTED]I am located in NC Thank you for posting this!
Re: Weight
This message is from: Jean Gayle [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thanks Mary regarding the weight tapes. When I look at Gunnar's girth and mass and his short legs I think I have underestimated him, thinking he was around 900 lbs. This worming I wormed him at 1200, he is 13:1 or 2 Jean Gayle Aberdeen, WA [Authoress of The Colonel's Daughter Occupied Germany 1946 TO 1949 ] http://www.techline.com/~jgayle Barnes Noble Book Stores
Pellet stall bedding
This message is from: PSB [EMAIL PROTECTED] My apologies for posting this question to the digest, it's really intended for Peg Knutson. Peg you had written about trying the pellet bedding. After a few weeks how do you feel about it? Is the brand Bear Mountain Dry Den? Any problems with the animals and the pellets or humans and pellets? Curious if any slippage from the horse as they run into the stall (my horses have stall runs that they can access at will). I was contemplating using this product and wanted to get feed back from a previous user. Thanks, Patty Bronson Paradise Acres [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I think the rules of no jeans are dumb. Anyway, that is what people usually wear in western classes. Slacks are whussy. Ha. Since I don't show, I can say what I want to and one of the reasons I don't show is because I hate people telling me what to do. So there. I think, horse is clean and cared for, same with rider, I don't care if you dress up in a Mongolian tunic, in fact, I think it would be cool. I tell you what, when I watch you and Dusty glide out into the arena I don't notice what either one of you are wearing, hells bells there is a team for ya. Misha, WE AGREE TOTALLY! this discriminatory regulation is ridiculous! Gene just about went through the ceiling when he read that one. Which is correct; a one hundred dollar pair of new designer jeans or a 25 cent pair of 30-year old polyester slacks from Good Will? The first a natural fiber, the second a synthetic pollutant!! This could be regarded as a prejudicial slam against country folk! the heart of America, the home of the Fjord! well, what more can I say...

fillllllies!
This message is from: Bushnell's [EMAIL PROTECTED] We have had FOUR FILLIES within one week's time, two in one day! This has been one exciting week I'll tell you. They all look great too. All out of our beloved stallion, A2Z Thorson, who oversees the production paddock and barns, knickering encouragement (enticement?) Now for the challenge of naming them! Mike, put us down for one Buttercup if you will, please =). Although we have several names to choose from we like to observe them a few days before we decide on a final name. Why is this all so tiring when it's so darned much fun? A guy showed me how to send photos out this week but in all the excitement I have forgotten how (temporarily, I trust). =) Thank God for the sun shining on our new little fluffy lambs. (after last week's snow storm). Gene and I both noticed how beautiful the mares faces were when their foals arrived; softened, loving, gentle. Really neat! (I must calm down) Ruthie, nw mt
