This message is from: Mary Thurman [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- Dean / Mel Thomas [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: This message is from: Dean / Mel Thomas [EMAIL PROTECTED] I'm sorry to report Anti-Chew doesn't work well with everyone. Several years ago, our two origional fjords and one appy were living in a pasture with a shelter. They kept eating the wood of the shelter walls. We tried everything recommended from the vets, to the feed stores to 'old cowboys' to stop them from chewing up the walls. The day I brough home some Anti-Chew and started spraying the walls, with the three guys watching over my shoulder, and my mare then started licking the Anti-Chew from the wall Ah, yes, BUT there are TWO products on the market called Anti Chew - the one 'usually' found in feed stores - which we also tried several years ago, and the horses loved the taste of it(!) - AND the Anti Chew put out by Bio Groom. It needs to be Bio Groom Anti Chew to work. Never smelled/tasted more bitter stuff!! I even sprayed it on Sindar's favorite 'chewing root' and he wouldn't touch it. If it doesn't say Bio Groom on the label, it isn't the 'bitterest stuff on earth'. Another 'simple' thing which sometimes works - best used indoors, so it doesn't just wash off - is plain ol' Ivory bar soap rubbed on nice and thick. Did you ever have your mouth washed out with soap as a kid? Did you like it? Probably not - and neither does a horse! They'll probably taste it - and may even 'foam' a bit - but most don't like it. And it's cheaper than these other things - if it works for you. You DO need to reapply it regularly, though, as it rubs off on horses' coats, people's clothes, etc., etc. and then ceases to work. Learned this from our old Tennessee horseshoer and used it for years - especially with youngsters to keep them from 'learning' to chew things. If it didn't taste good they forgot about the idea.

Quite a few farmers in my home town used fjords for working their land. Little did I know that one day I'd actually have a few of my own.

I was lucky to be able to retire early from my biologist postion with the Alaska Dept. of Fish and Game and started my new career with horses.(My Childhood Passion: Girls who love horse always willread the article in this month's EQUUS) Now they are my passion and main occupation. I congratulate you on getting your degree at 60! Who says we have to retire to the rocking chair (unless it is the rocking chair gait of a cantering horse!) I'm also curious reading the list as to the age range we represent--some must be young in years, all are young at heart, but some of us could be misconstrued as senior citizens. Since I went back to school and received my nurse practitioner's license and master's degree at 60 and think I'm still 23 I sometimes take issue with that characterization -- and then I look in the mirror! :~).

Training a colt
This message is from: Sue Harrison [EMAIL PROTECTED] However, the combo of green horse, begining owner, old worn out harness thats much too large for him, while walking on ice, tapping him on the rump to get him started after admitting he nor I knew what we were doing. is risking life, limb and me thinks that MAYBE we here are being taken for a little ride I am certainly not taking anyone for a ride...as you so unkindly suggested. True, I have not ever driven a horse nor do I personally plan to...other than in the paddock. I did NOT have a complete harness on him, only a back pad with girth strap and bridle with driving reins attached. The only reason I drove him in the first place, is to get him used to voice commands before being ridden and this groundwork was suggested to me by others in this list. I may be a beginner in DRIVING but I certainly am used to working around horses since we have had them for 29 years. I must admit though, that this Fjord is different. All the horses, colts including the other Fjord I had that was killed, could be led easily by a few fingers through the halter, and believe it or not I do know enough to let go and not allow my hand to get caught . As far as him kicking me when I tapped on his rump, I have been tapping that rump and rubbing him all over since I got him. It is certainly nothing new for him! Further more, I was not driving him on iceslippery snow yes, but not ice. If he had taken off, I would simply have let go of the reins. He was in his paddock after all. Storm was introduced to harness last spring at the breeders, as a yearling. The breeder told me to take him home and drive him in loose rigging, knowing full well that I was green at driving, but obviously did not feel the colt was a threat to me. My husband, on the other hand has driven ponies before...and he knew that Storm was not dangerous. He is only a colt and a short one at that. He may be a little bullheaded but he is certainly not mean. I am fully aware of the danger of being kicked. It is always there no matter what horse. the tarp thing is good, but never with a young horse in an enclosed stall. better a round pen. start with the tarp folded up to a small square. let him sniff it, gently rub the square all over him. First off, I had him in a large boxstall. I certainly did not start out with this tarp. Ever since I bought Storm over a year ago, I have worked with him to despook him. At first I took off my jacket in his box stall...he spooked...I kept at it till no response. I then let him smell the jacket, finally sliding it over his head, back, withers and down his hind legs. Since then I have slid plastic garbage bags of shavings over his whole body. I have saddled him and allowed the straps to touch him everywhere. The tarp was the final test...he passed with flying colours. My husband did not know all the stuff I have done with Storm which is why he did not think I should try it. Storm was in a big box stall and could have easily got away from the tarp without trampling me. It would be SO EASY to teach him to keep from pulling on the line and charging out of the stall and it all could be done without hurt or injury or even any fuss for the horse and horse owner. MishaI sure wish you lived handy here. I would sure appreciate your non voilent methods of training. The luck we have had with horse trainers around here leaves much to be desiredOne Appaloosa we sent to a reputable Appaloosa breeder for training. Since she was barefoot, we suggested that we have her shod before training. This mare was a 7 year old that had never been ridden. The trainer said no, that since her feet were small, that she should be left barefoot to let her feet spread out. I thought this odd, but since she was the trainer went along with it. In 3 weeks time we got a call that her feet were sore to come get her. We did, had her shod, and a couple of months later I took her to a clinic. As soon as she went inside the ring, she froze. I ended up taking her home and taking up my old mare to finish out the week. I eventually sold her. I took another gelding to another trainer to have brakes installed. He was a purebred Morgan that wanted to go go go. $500.00 later I brought home a horse with a cough and girth sores that both needed the services of a veterinarian...and still no brakes. We do not have any natural horsemanship trainers around here. With Storm, when it comes time to ride him, I am having a man that breaks horses for a childs summer camp, work with him here at our place. In the mean time, I am working at handling him daily and getting him used to everything. My main thing now is to have him completely spookproof. My husband broke his own horse and may end up breaking this guy. Time will tell. He would rather the other guy should do it since he is lighter in weight, and Storm may not grow all that big. After this I will try to be more specific when I send in my posts. On the whole,
