This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Okay Mike: I got you on a few horses bred every year does not money make. GAD! Kind of the big opposite. But I did want to breed some very good ones and I was happy to learn this morning that Shota's Amma by Woodland's Jovan and out of Quad L's Christina got her A Premium this weekend at the Dutch Kuering evaluation in southern California. Yay! Shota's Amma is owned by Julianne Boyer Miller so congratulations to her and Amma are in order. Misha Shota Fjords in eastern Oregon http://www.eoni.com/~mishamez
intro from lady who won raffle of Fjord weanling at Turlock
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hello, All, (and I apologize for the length) I am now known as the "Woman who Won Raffle Fjord at Turlock"..but that is ok.it is a way to identify me. Around here I am known as "The Vet's Wife", or "Boss" (I don't live in the office anymore), or one of the "Beadgang", or "Mom", or "Carole" works well, too...even a "hey, you"! Yes, my husband is an equine veterinarian with his own 3-doctor practice, so I have been interested in seeing what people in other parts of the country do for "Scratches", and any other type of veterinary question. I LOVE the training questions, and I am actually enjoying the posts regarding the white on Fjords (I'm also a nutcase when it comes to rulesI LOVE rules!).it all is pertinent and interesting to read. The Fjord "humor" stories are also a great read!!! I also have a mule, so I have "humor" stories on her, too, which is better than crying in frustration. I hope that I may contribute an occasional worthy posting. I am supposed to be introducing myself.. I grew up on a farm in the central San Joaquin Valley in California. I have always been a little horse crazy, which, much to my parents chagrin, I never outgrewand here I am now married to an equine veterinarian..yes, I made sure he was a good one before I married him I started out riding by the seat of my pants with the cowboys in the feedlot my parents had, along with all the row crops..then, after college I discovered dressage, and bought my first "English" horse in 1984. (I'm starting to date myself!) Prior life wasn't working, so got rid of "him", and vowed I'd get it right the second time...which I did, and I now have a really supportive husband, and 2 great children, now aged 9 and 10, a boy (Pokemon fiend), and a daughter (my Mother's revenge, she is getting seriously horse crazy now!). Anyway, there was a bit of a "dry spell", (regarding the horses), while I had my children, plus my husband starting up his own practice, and now I am getting back a little bit of a life of my own, finally! My husband has discovered cutting is his passion, and we both have cutting horses, with his QH cutting mare having had a foal this year. I have a 17hh warmblood that we raised (shipped semen, the whole bit) that I ride dressage with, as I do my mule, too, but in a Western saddle for her. The old TB grey mare is bred again to a QH. My daughter has a Paint, my son an Appaloosa. I picked up a garage sale horse this summer, a Standardbred mare, for driving. And, of course, we have our little new fellow, Nattman, our winning prize from the Hold Your Horses Raffle drawing held at the Turlock Scandifest Horse Show Needless to say, we collect horses the way that small animal vets collect cats!!! I still think I'm forgetting one or two. Among the other joys of horses, and I do love dressage, but I have just this year discovered that my true passion is driving..(I am co-leasing a schoolmaster driving horse with a friend of mine, too!) Nattman is going to be, hopefully, an all-around fellow.CDE's with me, Pleasure Driving Shows, Pony Club with the kids (in 4 years), trail rides to the hills, dressage, Scandifest Horse Show in Turlock, friend, companion, etc. I have known about Fjords for years, and had always wanted one. We had been buying tickets for this raffle for years, but I had given up any hope of winningI was now simply buying the tickets to help support this worthy group.. .then..I WON I had even told my parents about them, and told them to look them up as they traveled to Norway several years ago!!! Yes, we had the choice of the foal or the money. My husband, bless him, said "whatever you want to do, hon".that was it..we went to look at him first (of course!), and it was all overhe was the newest addition to our "many-colored" herd! Nattman came home yesterday afternoonI picked him up after a ride off-property with my mule..she brayed before he got in the trailer.."MOM, what was THAT"then home we came. Good boy that he was, he stepped right up into the trailer and home he came. We figured, too, that if we were going to listen to one baby cry all night, may as well make it twoNattman and the QH's filly (Sydney) are now being weaned together. Boy, was he calm about the whole eventwatched the filly make a fool of herself, and expend WAY too much energy, running around and aroundand look at the FOOD, why bother running??? And THEN, he proceeded to lie down and thoroughly roll around in this LITTLE BITTY spot of mud He is going to be quite the character! His back is not as long as some I have seen..nice neck, goes well into the chest..nice depth of rear-end going into back legs..nice legs and feet...cute as a button headand those

Re: acorns
This message is from: "Lynn Mohr" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I would consider removing trhe horses during the major acorn drop period and pick up the acorns manually. You could put a couple of cheap tarps under the drip line of the trrees and use these to collect the acorns or just rake them up. Pigs tend to root and completely tear up the outdoor area they are in. They will even rip up concrete etc if they can get their snouts under the material. Their manure is slopply and hard to clean up and has a different "tang" to it. They respect electric fence but are very hard on anything else. You will also have to feed the pigs when there aren't acorns available. Considering my experience with raising pigs I believe you might get rid of the acorns but the additional management problems resulting from pigs would be more difficult than just cleaning up the acorns.

xrays
This message is from: "carlson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> A few months ago I mentioned how my older gelding Thor was off on the L front. Had both fronts flouroscoped, shows advanced arthritic changes on the L from the hoof to the knee. I gave him a glucosamine/Vit. C/yucca supplement. It's been 3 months now, see alot of improvement, haven't ridden him yet. Vet recommended to try shoes on the front if riding with a shortened heel angle and rounded off toe, plus bute on riding days as necessary. Does this go along with you alls' experience? Further helpful hints appreciated. Meanwhile, back at the ranch, I've just had a cervical laminectomy at 6-7. Have others have this done and ridden again? Have 2 herniated thoracic discs, not bad and facet joint arthritis of the lower back. My boys keep me going, I've been riding as I can up until this surgery. We go at a walk, which actually feels thera- peutic, my fellas are as good as gold with me esp. Thor's older brother BJ, who I used to think was the stubborn, cool one. If I can't ride, my husband says he will learn to drive. Any sug- gestions on smooth going carts appreciated. We are a couple of jujube newbies. Thanks all, Hope Northern IL
