Steve,
Well now that other offer sounds like a movie setting!  I really can not
quote the number of lakes, many. The gorgeous mountains including our
beloved Mt. Rainier are in view with their snow caps gleaming. Aberdeen Wa.
is within 2 hours on the interstate of Seattle, one if not the prettiest
city and waterfront in the US.  (Too crowded now for me.) One hour to Tacoma
and her museums.  45 minutes to Olympia the capital with great restaurants,
lots of seafood, (fresh), theaters, symphony and lots of hospitals and
physicians. Two hours to Portland Oregon with all of its lovely old homes
and hotels.

Here we are still offering beautiful acreage for $5-7000 an acre.  Old
homesteads sell for $125,000 and lots of contractors available for
remodeling. We have a great theater group with top class ability and plays.
Farmers market, oyster farms, salmon bakes, Indian reservations and Shaker
churches, whale watching, a lovely replica of an old sailing boat that tours
the coast.

There is a large population of horses, county fair is next week with great
horse facilities.  Small villages offer great family life and activities.
Easy access to community Boards and government activity.  Everyone has a
say.

There are two local airports, one with a great restaurant and cinnamon
rolls.  We are a port town, two villages offer charter ocean fishing and
whale watching.  The famous (half hours drive) Ocean Shores offers
convention centers, fishing, surfing, all kinds of activities are scheduled
and great seafood.  The rugged coast line is a trip to remember with Indian
villages and excellent restaurants.

I no longer cook so can not offer you that respite.  However, I can promise
you a busy and lucrative practice with, as I said, relief shifts from your
fellow Vets.  To top it all off I offer you a ride on the friendly one
Gunnar.  Lets see who can top that!!  Plus, you can use my private
riding arena whenever you wish.  Or try the trails on my friends 350 acre
tree farm with private lake.  What more can you want   Jean

This message is from: Denise Delgado [EMAIL PROTECTED]

listers,
my vet recomended loose salt for quinny, my little canadian fjord from
bo-fjords.  when he first got here last year, he had a heck of a time
adjusting to the heat.  he was drinking water and urinating almost
continuosly, very clear dilute urine. he was very furry.  i shaved him.
that helped, but it took him about 6-9 months to pee like a regular horse,
not all the time.  the vet also likes the granulated because he said it
discourages mouthiness ( a word?).  so that's my 2 cents.  denise in hot,

  Starfire Farms and see how well
 their horses were trained.  Those ladies do a great job

Mary - I agree wholeheartedly.I never thought I'd use this expression(as 
its one my grandmother used to use).
.but Beth and Sandy are a hoot!
I was very impressed with the training Beth put on the two three year old 
mares. Both have such a relaxed attitude even though they were very different 
in nature.
Beth credits a fellow from California (can't remember his name) for alot of the 
things she does on a horse, but personally I think she's just a good trainer,
there were too many things she did naturally, without thinking - I watched her 
alot.
I wanted to pick her brain but by Wednesday I was dead. I fell asleep - I mean 
really out of it - on top of our tack truck (not a pretty sight I imagine) and 
when I did wake up my mind lacked clarity. (probably from the fumes of fly 
spray, show sheen and hoof black out of the trunk).
Sandy must of worn out a pair of shoes walking the arena with camera and 
camcorder- not to mention the running behind, along side of and around Beth and 
the cart ( it was especially interesting to see her keep up when Beth did the 
extended trot)  : )

On the salt issue...we tried the solid blocks and most of it goes into the 
ground, sometimes we saw them licking it but not enough to figure it did much 
good. .  A few years ago we started giving everyone loose mineral...from Purina 
I think its called 12x12 or something and we put loose salt along side it. 
Depending on the weather and work load , quality of feed, etc...they sometimes 
eat alot and sometimes don't. I think it's easier for them
to lick as much as they want.
 My husband told me awhile back (we have a dairy herd) that he feeds loose 
mineral and salt because a dairy nutrionist told him a cow can't lick enough 
off a solid block to supplement what they loose in minerals at the peak of 
their lactation.
I know,
I knowcows  -  horses...not the same. Four stomachs - one stomach.
The loose is sometimes a mess, but they sure to eat it.but then knowing the 
Fjord appetite if we put shaved wallpanelling out for them, they'd eat it.
Just my 2 cents.

Hi all -

Great info on the ringbone discussion. Thanks much, Dr Steve, and all of you
who go to the trouble to look things up and share them. There's so much to
learn! I'm always chagrined when an experienced horse person visits and
immediately sees and points out something I have no idea was wrong. This
digest helps immensely.

We feed Dynamite products, including a vitamin-mineral granulated salt mix.
I'd have to run out to the barn to tell you all that is in it. We leave it
available all the time, and they are really going after it in this hot
weather! I'm so hot outside that I want to wet down everybody all the time,
but they don't seem to be bothered. Sometimes they will seek the shade, but
just as often are snoozing or grazing right out in the hot sun. I'm
considering shaving Willie filly's chest and belly, since she's usually
sweaty in her baby fur. I talked to Patty P. in Libby yesterday, though, and
felt like a wimp. They have temps up to 105% right now!

I find trimming manes to be a new creative adventure each time. Especially
when I make a wrong cut and get into the even out the chair legs syndrome.
Two bugaboos for me are the really wide manes and those where the hair grows
upward in a curve toward the poll, rather than straight up. Any ideas? I
usually comb the curves back so they are straight and hold them up with my
fingers to get an even cut, but then when I'm done, the mane usually lays
back in its former curve and ruins the crescent. Aargh! I have to stop
myself from carrying my Fiskars around, or I'd always be fixing, and
pretty soon they'd all be bald. Sadie, who's at the trainer's is doing a
fine job of making herself bald by rubbing off much of the white on the near
side of her mane...more aargh!

On another note, don't delay in getting your ads for the Libby program in to
Bob Envick, and please have them camera-ready if possible. Time is short.
You have a page listing costs and giving instructions with your Libby
packet.

Speaking of sending things. Some of you folks out there in Digest land are
not NFHR members and therefore would not have received the flyer advertising
our farm and our stallion, MVF Erlend. If you would like to receive one, by

Hi Mary,

When I'm in one of the stalls or in an inclosed space I hook the panic snap to
the tie spot and the bull snap to the halter.  Someone pointed out to me that
if there was a panic situation it would be easier to get to the panic snap if
it wasn't right by the horse.  BUT If you hook up this way outside and the
horse becomes a runaway it has a line or tie connected to it that could be a
problem.  A friend of my parents down in El Paso had a young horse who took off
and the lead line kept slapping him in the flank which made him go even
faster.  He endend up being injured badly in the ordeal.  This was just a lead
line without a snap on the end so it didn't weigh as much but I still worry
about what a crosstie would do.  It could wrap around the feet.  So when I'm
tying them up outside I do it the opposite.

Sorry to hear about your Vet.  It seems like he just got there!  I'll keep my
fingers crossed for you to get another.

listers,
just a little note to tell about our trail riding experience yesterday up in
the sierras. i went with a friend.  she took her 18 year old paint gelding,
a very sweet gentleman.  i brought my fjord, quinn, just three.  we found a
good trailhead down into a little green valley, meadows, surrounded by high
granite cliffs, daises and lupins in bloom.  very nice.  the plan was to
ride a bit, maybe an hour, eat and head back.  i had to get back to packing
my boxes.

we unloaded.  the boys got along just fine sharing her two horse trailer.
we saddled up and i realized i forgot my helmet in my trailer!  she is a
cowgirl...just wears a baseball cap.  anyway, i was very, very tempted to
ride without.  just about that time a group of loose range horses, 6, to be
exact, heard us and beelined over to investigate these newcomers. our horses
suddenly got way over worked.  started snorting, puffing and blowing and
jigging all over.  these loose horses had no manners.  they came right up
into our horse's faces and butts.  quinn, actually hauled off and kicked one
in the face.  we threw rocks at them, tried shooing them away...nothing
would get rid of these guys.  our horses would not calm down.  my friend
mounted.  at this point, i figured best to stay on the ground with my guy,
as he was beside himself.  we decided to proceed down the trail to a shut
gate.  we figured if we got through there, they couldn't follow.  we did and
they did'nt and when we got to the other side..there were more curious,
loose horses and cows!  so we just hiked it and tossed rocks for about an
hour.  our horses did calm down when these guys would wander off a ways, but
it was'nt as relaxing as we had anticipated.  but no accidents and we made
it home in one piece.  and it was good for quinn to be exposed to all of
that.

turned out that there were some ranchers up there on summer range.  we knew
them.  they go up there to get out of the valley heat and move their cows
around.  they lease the land from the forestry service during the summer.
anyway, i hope this was'nt too long.   denise

If there is a correct way, I belive that your way is the right one. I used to

Hi Patty,
I just read an article the other day about salt.  It said that some horses do 
not like the taste of a mineral block, and that both plan and mineral should 
be available so that they may lick what they prefer.  
I'm assuming, even though they will seek salt out when they need it.if 
they DON'T like the taste, they wont eat it.  So best to have both available.
