Re: complacency
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] My farrier, in his 60s, said the only serious injury he ever had was from an old, put-the-kids-on-him-and-let-him-go gelding, because the horse was so gentle and easy that he forgot to use normal caution. Wonder why working with my girls brought that story to mind for him? (LOL) Gail D. Vinson Las Cruces, NM

Re: clicker training

Nebraska Horse Expo
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Lincoln, Nebraska has just built a nice new horse show facility and to kick it off they are holding a horse expo the first weekend of March. For a fee, an association receives one stall for a horse and an additional stall as a hospitality/display area. Additional stalls can be reserved for more horses. You also receive a 10 minute exhibit time in the arena each day (3 days) while they announce a little speech about your breed and/or activity. A few of us in the area plan on exhibiting the fjords and perhaps doing a MWFHC/NFHR info booth. I would like to invite anyone else that is interested to participate with us, whether you would like to bring your fjord or just help man the info booth.

VBG Maybe I can find a pet one that I could borrow. We have chickens but she doesn't seem to relate them to those monster turkeys gobbling in the woods. Maybe you could send Osa out to hang out with Pferd for a while. One of his favorite games is to chase wild turkeys while we're out driving. Wild turkeys will NOT leave a path through the woods if they can avoid it. So we have on several occasions surprised a big old Tom dusting in the middle of the path and then had a chase at full-out trot for a couple miles. Other times I've spotted flocks ahead and put him into a trot to blast thru them like a bowling ball thru ten pins. Pferd loves his turkey chases. He also enjoys chasing deer but they don't stick to the path like turkeys, so I have to cut those chases short. -- Steve McIlree -- Pferd Skipper -- Omaha, Nebraska, USA A canter is the cure for every evil. --Benjamin Disraeli(1804-1881)

I'll give it a try. Just have to figure out how to make those wild LOL! Yes, the chickens in my situation were quite tame. But they slept under a tarp at night - that was the biggest scary, a moving, clucking tarp : ) I would suggest doing simple clicker requests in the vicinity of the turkeys ... like walk, whoa, walk, whoa. Target a ball or something. Easy stuff, to get her attention on you rather than those horse-eating turkeys! I achieved great success (big pat on the back!) with Tommes and the spooky corner of the arena. Why it's spooky I'm not sure. Could be because it borders the neighbor's ranch where other horses/cattle/ machinery can be heard but not clearly seen through the fence. Well, Tommes normally avoided the corner, and when guided into it, powered out unseating me twice! We practiced walking/trotting on the rail, clicking for good gaits, transitions, whoas etc. I clicked closer and closer to the bad spot (the horse automatically stops when he hears the click and looks for his treat). Before I knew it, we were smack dab in the middle of that corner! Click!! Now he will go deeply into the corner and stay nicely on the rail without me having to correct or hold him there with a rein or leg. The worst I get now in the formerly spooky corner is an ear flick towards the neighbor's property. I'm a believer! Brigid in CA

Never say never, 'cause,(and I know from what I speak) it has happened to me once. With a certifiable dead broke fjord. My eyes have been open ever since. Just goes to show, you can never get too complacent. In the back of my mind, always is a story of a very competent trainer, walking his old mare to a pasture (or somewhere). This mare was perfectly trustworthy. But the man ended up dead with a hoofprint on his head. Who knows what happened? Gawd, I don't even remember when I heard this story, or who it was about, but it made an indelible impression on me to NEVER be too confident. However, I'm fighting that too! Just came back from Day 1 of a Dr. Ritter clinic. I STILL have a tendency to lean forward in anticipation of a more forward gait. He could tell it is from an old fear, and I will NEVER become the type of rider I want to be till I conquer that. The fear stems from my ex-TB. 16.3 and threw me HARD. I was probably 10 feet in the air at the top of the arc from which she threw me. The tool he's given me to work with this is: This is a safe horse. Juniper is good. She will not rear, nor will she buck. She is good and WILL do what I ask. I repeat this mantra and really prepare for the upward transition, instead of just letting it happen. We'll see if I make improvement. I go back again tomorrow (btw, everybody there has fallen in love with Juniper, she's a great ambassador to fjords. Everybody can see how tolerant she is of a beginning dressage rider and how once I get something, she instantly gives exactly what is asked. And after tomorrow, there's another clinic in February. Hopefully by then the forward tilt will have gone away! Pamela

Re: Questions
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Andrea, First I have a maiden mare due in March. She is naturally chubby..as are most Fjords. I am giving her Mare Plus 2x a day and lots of hay(grass). Do I give her grain, or will that put on too much weight? An overweight mare can be more of a problem than an underweight one. Lack of milk production and dystocia (difficult foaling) are just a couple of them. If your mare is holding her own, then there is no reason to add calories to the ration. Just be sure she is getting the proper amount of vitamins and minerals. Worming and vaccinating are important too. Most of the wormers these days are safe enough that you can deworm right up to the foaling day without harming the foal. This will prevent passing worms on to the foal. Vaccinating the mare 6-8wks before foaling helps the foal too. This will increase the mare's immunity which she will pass on to the foal in her milk.
