Hi Nancy,

If the horse is registered with the Canadian Livestock Records, within
the last 12 years she will be mirochipped.  You should be able to track
her that way if she is chipped.  The chips are on the left side of the
neck about half way down.  Most of the vets have a scanner that will
read the chips.  The CLRC has web site.  www.clrc.on.ca

Good Luck

This message is from: Anita Unrau <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Hi everyone,
As usual trying to get caught up with all the reading on the digest.  I would 
like to
thank all the committee members and volunteers who made Libby what it is today. 
 We had
not been there since 1992 when Steven Spengler brought his Mexican trainer with 
him to
Libby and  he did some tricks between classes with Steven's  Stallion.  Was 
wonderful
to see so many people and their horses all turned out nicely and the  big 
classes made
competing much more fun.
Want to thank Cynthia for her kind words on our fillies at Libby. " and I 
fell in
love with Anita and Orville Unrau's fillies.(I am buying lottery tickets!!) . 
Lisa and
I will have duke it out for them if their aren't sold to someone else before 
either of
us finds some cash! "
The two fillies did a wonderful job.  Sam entered most of the western and 
English
riding classes as well as some of the single driving classes and log skid. 
Orville did
three classes with the pair.  He won the obstacles and second in the log skid 
and I
think a second in  pair pleasure driving.  Things got very hectic with so many 
changes
from harness to english, etc. that I lost track of what most of the ribbons 
were for.
Will have to wait for results to fill them in.
Carol Rivoire made some comments from the Fjord digest #243 that I wanted to 
comment
on.  I just got a new Imac computer and being computer illiterate I am finding 
it hard
to figure out how to do everything.  So please bear with me as I struggle 
through
pasting her comments on


"Thanks Ursula for the interesting posting on Libby.  Congratulations to you
and Brian for some great driving.  Wish I'd been there this year.  You
mentioned the driving competition getting fierce at Libby.  Well I guess. .
.  with an FEI driver like Orville Unrau.  Were there any levels other than
Novice and Open at Libby?  Somehow it doesn't seem fair for Training or
Preliminary Level drivers competing against World-Class drivers.  Orville
Unrau has competed in a World Championship, hasn't he? What do you think?
On the other hand, it must have been fun to have him back at Libby, and to
have the opportunity to compete against him. "

Carol, I really wonder how you can make comments about the horse coming first 
in all
considerations of training and husbandry then imply by your
above comments that because Orville drove our Hannoverian gelding in a World
Championship that every horse born on our property is now born at
an advanced level.  This would be wonderful indeed as life would be much easier 
not
having to train to get to that level.  This was the first time in 8 years that 
we had
been to a Fjord show because we enjoy the thrill of Combined driving to Pleasure
driving.  We got home from delivering horses to Minn. and Wisc. and  being 
spectators
at the Blue Earth show late Friday night July 28th.  Unpacked and cleaned the  
trailer
up Saturday and on Sunday after vistors left Sam saddled up her TB gelding and 
chased
horses down the mountain to home.  We went through all the Fjords we own and 
decided
that two three year old fillies that Sam (Kerry) had put 30 days on one and 60 
days
riding on another would make a matched pair and with a mouth already on them 
would
maybe be ready for Libby.  On Monday, July 31
Orville started ground driving them single, Tuesday, Aug 1, hooked them each to 
a tire
and had them drag it, and so on until ready to hook up as a pair later in the 
week.  It
was after Sept. first when he drove them single for the first time as all their 
driving
had been as a pair until this time.  Sam kept riding Olga and got her ready for 
the
Western and English riding classes she decided to enter.  This pair of fillies 
after
getting preg tested in May and turned out on the mountain all summer were very 
fit.
They had barely a month of driving training and had never left home before.  
Orville
did do well in the three classes he entered and Orville's driving ability 
certainly
helped but to say he should only drive Advanced level with such green horses??? 
 Carol,
I was very surprised by your comments.  Some people have been competing the same
horses  in the same classes at Libby for years,  is this any different?
If anyone is interested in buying either of these beautiful fillies email me 
privately
for pictures and pedigrees.  I contacted Fred Pack to let him know which 
pictures he
posted were the filles and Sam.

Hi.  I have a story.  My name is Nancy and I am a old quarterhorse nut 
converted to Fjords this last Spring.  I leased my daughter's quarterhorse 
to a Fjord family while she is in college and I fell in love with them, the 
fjords,  at first sight.  I used the internet for fun  and took interest in 
one on a "horse-trading" farm.  I watched her all winter, took a trip to 
Canada and my husband humored me..a visit to the farm.  I saw her and fell 
in love.  He said no.  A week later I made an offer and it was accepted for 
a song., only because of no papers.  So this is my journey.   I was told I 
counldn't track her cause of her "auction and horse trader history".  Guess 
I just don't accept..."no".  It's taken me a few months but thanks to a few 
that  have given me some time I have tracked her to Armstrong, BC.  I am in 
Washington state and don't know much about up north or the Fjord registry as 
yet.  I just know I love this animal (although she can be a snot sometimeds 
like my teenager).  The man that bred her mom was named Herb Bannnister and 
he died.  This mare was with another Fjord and some other horses and went 
thru an estate sale, that's where the horse trader's picked her upto 
good to pass... Herb Bannister was a quiet batchelor and didn't keep good 
records but I have heard from a customer (long story, I own a fruit 
standsmall world) .that Herb might have bred Fjords and she may be 
registered.  I know there are some Fjord farms up north in the Okanagon in 
Washington...or does anyone know of some Fjord breeders near or in 
Armstrong, B.C.?  Is there a separate registry for Canada Fjords?  Are there 
any web sites I might be able to try?  Is there a way to track  registered 
Fjords thru DNA?  Does anyone know a Fjord owner in Armstrong?  How about 
near Armstrong?  I also think I have the name of the man that owns my mare's 
father...Neal Trenholme.  Does anyone know this man?  Guess I'm just 
throwing things our here hoping for a miracle.  Also, if I do find the 
parents and they are true Fjords, how would I go about registering her so I 
could breed her?  I know how strick the registry is to stay true to the 
beed.  I guess I am hoping that this will have a happy ending since she is 
only about 7 years old.  But...it will have a happy ending...I 
really love her  and she is stunning.  A real compliment to the breed.  
Thanks for your time, Nancy.

Re: Michael & Betsy

2000-09-19 Thread Arthur Rivoire
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Arthur Rivoire)




Hello Everybody from Carol Rivoire at Beaver Dam Farm in Nova Scotia -

It was Sunday night two weeks ago when the phone rang.  Arthur answered,
and seemed delighted by the caller.  It was Michael Scott saying, "Well,
I'm sitting in my Award Chair calling to tell you about our weekend at the
Villa Louise Carriage Classic.  ---  Arthur got more and more Delighted as
he listened.  Finally, I got on the extension and heard the good news from
Michael and Betsy.  

They'd done marvelously at this big, important, classy Pleasure Driving
Show.  -  

*  1st place in Turnout
*  1st place in Working Pleasure
*  1st place in Cross Country
*  1st place in Gambler's Choice
*  2nd place in Reinsmanship
*  2nd place in Cones, Pick Your Route
*  Won the Novice Pony Championship

They were driving BDF MISS NAVETA (Gjest x Maryke [Hjerter-Knaeght
daughter]}, previously known as "The Little Princess", now (after Villa
Louise) upgraded to "The Queen."  

Our conversation was a grand mixture of reciprocal congratulations.  Me
telling them what a wonderful job they'd done, and how proud we were, and
they telling me what a wonderful horse we'd bred.  

I told Betsy that she should post the whole experience for the Digest, but
she's having  computer trouble, so I said I'd do it if she'd email me with
the details.  She did that, and here's the gist of it, . .  which she said
so well, I wouldn't dream of changing her words.

"Dear Carol and Arthur,   

We've been getting congrats all week - sure has been fun.  Even the show
mgr sent us an email.  The best part of all this is seeing you can do it
and don't need a pro trainer every step of the way.  A lot of sweat equity
went into that championship, but it paid off.  

Another bonus is all the wonderful carriage driving friends we've met along
the way.  Of all the horse disciplines I've been involved in, they are by
far the very best.  Everyone wants to win of course, but if you don't you
had a good time and are happy for the ones that did win.  

Everyone is always there to lend a helping hand whether it be accessories,
equipment, advice or just plain helping you to get to the next class.  We
had a lot of busy hands heping us clean harness and carriage intetween 8
classes.  That's what is so nice about these people - friendly and helpful.
 You don't see that on other circuits.

We think the grooming and presentation is very important, and shows that
don't require this are missing out on a lot of fun, and pride in a job well
done.  We enjoy being as good as we can be, and making the breed look good,
and I think we have succeeded at that.

The biggest thrill was being a finalist in the lovely Concours d'Elegance
Class.  We knew we could not win with our Meaowbrook, but what a thrill to
be invited for the 2nd time at that show, and once before at Columbus.
  We should knock them dead next year with our spindle seat phaeton,
which is almost ready."
~

Betsy goes on to talk about BDF Miss Naveta . . .

"We'll begin looking for a marathon vehicle because Michael still has his
eye on CDE's.  Naveta does equally as well in rail classes as
cross-country, but she shines on the cross-country courses.  Normally, she
hates water and will jump a small puddle.  The embankment at this show was
quite steep, but she put her head down and never hesitated -- right on
through, and up the other side for the next hazard.  What a little trooper!
 Her stride was incredible out there - never faltered - just nice and easy
and steady." 

~ 

"The most fun class to watch was the Drive & Ride.  There were 14 horses of
every shape and size.  She looked great in the driving section and kept her
pace and transitions, but in the ride section, when they went on the flat,
it was 'make way for me - I'm not letting this big Clydesdale pass me up',
so she did the class with his nose on her butt and her ears flat back.
Everyone was in stitches.

Taking our first victory lap together (the 3 of us) was a thrill - I had to
wipe the tears from my eyes after we won Turnout.  When they were placing
Working Pleasure, and it got down to the 1st placing, I squealed out loud
when we won the Division.  Michael said I should show a little decorum next
time, but I was so excited.  

At the awards party on Sun. nite,they announced the Chamionships.  When
they got to Michael, we both went up to receive it, and the show mgr
presented Michael with his Chamionship Directors Chair and a purple ribbon,
then asked him to sit down and accept his applause.  He got a standing
ovation, which is something no one else did.  --- Big tears at that point.
--  After the party, we went out to dinner with the show mgr, judge, and a
host of friends.  What a nite!  I suppose I shouldn't carry on so but when
you work as hard as Michael has, it is so nice to be accepted and rewarded
for your efforts."

Steve and I returned to Omaha late Friday night and I have spent the last three
days catching up on everything including the FH-L. I really enjoyed Libby but I
am so dissapointed to get back and find out how many people were there that I
didn't get to meet. Fred, for instance, your pictures are great! I am also sorry
to have missed out meeting Ruth  Bushness, also!  Who else did I miss?? Next
time I get to come, everyone has to wear name tags But we did get to meet
lots of listers and it was fun to put faces to so many people. We also met some
confessed lurkers - come out, come out - you know who you are!

The show had very impressive competition. The quality of horses and
riders/drivers was excellent.  It was a real pleasure to drive with Ursula
Jensen and her porche fjord, Raynor.Seeing Brian's so called "suicide hitch" was
a wonder. Beth Beymer and Sandy North were kept busy getting various horses
ready for compeition and it was a real pleasure to see Beth win the versatility
award with Magnum and watch her do the log skid.  We got to help Lisa and Jeff
Pedersen hitch their tandem, a first for us! and I fell in love with Anita and
Orville Unrau's fillies.(I am buying lottery tickets!!) . Lisa and I will have
duke it out for them if their aren't sold to someone else before either of us
finds some cash!  We enjoyed seeing Nancy Lehnert and Lou Theisen again and
finally getting a chance to return their videos lent to us some time ago. It was
also an honor to meet and even have dinner with Mary Woolverton of whom I have
heard many good things for years.

 A note to Lisa and Mary Ofjord - have you done any dumpster diving lately???

After leaving Libby on Monday morning, we drove to Sandpoint, ID where I dropped
some hard cash at Coldwater Creek (less expensive than the Unrau's fillies),
then we  returned to Libby where we visited an Amish log cabin builder, and then
on to Glacier National Park. Next to Libby, I most enjoyed a half day spent in
Cardston, Alberta where we by chance had found out about their carriage museum.
If you have an opportunity to go, it is well worth while. It has the largest
collection of carriages in North America and is a truly first class museum. It
is called the Remington-Alberta Carriage Museum and if you are visiting Glacier
it is only 30 minutes north of Babb.

My most memorable sight - driving past a McDonald's in Buffalo, WY and seeing a
fjord staked out by the driveway - eating as usual. It was too much!

Well, back to the basics of earning a living. Vacation is over!

Dave,

Probably misuse of a word here (grab).  You do not
GRAB the forelock and PULL - you simply take hold of
the forelock and give a gentle tug, while asking them
verbally to follow you.  If you have to pull hard
enough to pull the hair out, you're being too
aggressive about it and any horse, Fjord or not, will
PULL BACK to get away from that.  I simply give a
gentle tug, say 'come', and they come right along - if
they have been taught to lead this way by
'transferring' the leading response from halter to
forelock.  A horse which has not been trained to lead
with the forelock will not know what you want and will
either stand there confused or pull back.  Time to do
a little 'retraining' if you wish to be able to lead
this way.  For some reason I find that forelock
leading makes a calmer more 'submissive' horse -
possibly because it requires a lowered head - than
leading under the chin(which I used to use before I
found out about forelock leading).  Leading under the
chin gives the opportunity for the horse to easily
raise his  head to escape from the handler - you must
quickly put your hand on their nose to prevent this,
which requires a quick movement, which leads to a
quick movement on the part of the horse, which
elevates the energy of the whole process.  At least in
my experience.  To each his own.  However, forelock
leading SHOULD NOT lead to hair pulling or separation
of the skin from the scalp!!  A halter goes over one
of the most vulnerable sets of nerves in a horse's
neck, yet causes no injury if used properly on a horse
trained to respond properly to its use.  BUT it also
can cause severe damage if used improperly on an
untrained horse who is scared out of his wits - or
just bull headed.  How many of us have heard of or
seen horses permanently damaged or even killed (by
breaking their necks) when improperly tied with a
halter before they are well schooled in the proper
response to being tied?



  It's not a good
> way to lead a horse that
> is resisting.

Absolutely true.  That's why I recommended
'transferring' the leading response gradually from
halter to forelock.  A horse needs to be trained to
lead by the forelock, the same way he needs to be
trained to lead with a halter.
 
> Try it on yourself - would you like to be led with
> someone pulling your hair
> or by a hand under your chin?

Sure wouldn't like my hair pulled by someone being too
agressive or too lazy to train me properly to what
he/she wants.  On the other hand, some horses are very
'mouthy' or nippy and are a pain to lead under the
chin.  Seems to make them more nippy in some cases. 
If they are nippy, as some Fjords can be, try the
forelock.  Either way, it's nice to  KNOW you can lead
your horse away from a situation and back to the
safety of the pasture or barn WITHOUT having to find a
halter and leadrope, catch the horse, put said halter
and rope on the horse, before being able to lead them.
 Keeps both horse and handler much calmer.

Re: Rope Halters

2000-09-19 Thread Karen McCarthy

This message is from: "Karen McCarthy" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>


Hi Saskia:
The rope halters should be adjustable, if they are made correctly using the 
fiador knot, and one piece of rope.
The ones I have are made from a very soft nylon rope, about 1/4" in 
diameter. When you first get them, you can wiggle the knots around to widen 
or narrow the nosepice area, also to adjust the length of cheek pieces. I 
was told how to do this by the lady that makes them for us. She lives just

Once you use the halter for awhile, the knots tighten up and it is almost 
impossible to adjust them after that.
So, see if you can play with the knots some...and hope you are feeling 
better,

Dearest friends,

I have been silent again for a while (a long while), but you must know I
have read everything and have carried your joys, difficulties and losses in
my heart, wishing you all the best constantly.

I have been and am very ill, so I can't promise to be a  more active list
member very soon, but I will as soon as I can. And am looking forward to
that very much! :-)))

But whenever I feel well, I try to ride a little bit on Sybren. He's really
great, very calm and trusting and very willing to learn. The problem is: I
use Kitty's rope halter and that doesn't fit him. So I wanted to order a 
new

one, only, the lady who will make it for me lives in the USA and she needs
me to measure him (his head) in inches. So I calculated my centimeters to
inches and got:

12" around the nose
32" around the throat (behind the ears)

Now she mailed me to express her surprize about these sizes. She says it
sounds very small to her. So I wanted to ask you: can someone who's used to
measure in inches tell me what his/her Fjords head is like?
Sybren is a small size of Fjord.

Thanks and happy Fjording!

Saskia in Belgium (cold and very wet... again!)

Libby photo series 4 has been uploaded to PhotoPoint, but not processed by
their server.
Until processes by PhotoPoint, I can not move them to album series 4.

Gotta hit the sack.   I will check for proper processing by PhotoPoint in
the morning, then move them to the album.

Sorry for the delay, but had a million things to do/go wrong today.

I'll post a message when the pictures are ready to view.

Fatigued Fred
