I am so sorry...went through this exact same thing with my old P.O.A. Duchess, last February. We had had her for 25 years and she taught all my kids to ride...as well as myself. My old girl appeared to have some sort of spell that morning as we could get her on her feet but she could no longer support herself and would slowly weave and sink to the floor.

RE: Driving clinic with Olaf Nyby?
This message is from: "Dagrun Aarsten" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hello Lori, I was looking through some old emails and I found this one that I hadn't seen before! What a wonderful website you have - great pictures, from the clinic, from your farm, and of your horses! And designing and building your own farm - what a dream! Maybe in 20 years from now I'll do the same... Or any of you know a nice, rich (male) unmarried fjord fan who wouldn't mind moving to Norway? That would speed things up a little...:-) Dagrun -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Lori Albrough Sent: Thursday, October 11, 2001 3:14 PM To: fjordhorse@angus.mystery.com Subject: Re: Driving clinic with Olaf Nyby?

Any of you listers? Hi Dagrun: We also attended a clinic with Olaf Nyby which was held in May of this year near Ottawa, Ontario Canada. I have posted some pictures of me and my mare Cindy in the clinic, also a photo of the stallion Felix and some other clinic photos on our web-site at http://www.bluebirdlane.com/nyby.html We greatly enjoyed and benefitted from the clinic. In response to your sensitive horse inquiry, there was one very sensitive yet talented welsh pony at the clinic. Olaf felt the owner didn't push him (the pony) enough and hence wasn't really tapping into his abilities. The owner was in effect letting the ponies sensitivities back her off. We watched as Olaf drove the pony in lovely canter serpentines with flying changes across the center line. I was impressed with how well Olaf communicated with the pony, and he (pony) didn't seem at all over-taxed by this, but rather seemed to enjoy showing off. Lori Albrough Moorefield Ontario PS - Dagrun, I am really enjoying your posts about the horses you have known in Norway. Having met some of them, and seen offspring of others, it is most interesting to hear more about them.

Hi there Marsha,
I am so very sorry to hear about Nansy. I remember her so well the time
we stopped by to visit. Brigid really loved her, I saw her care for her when
you were here in Ca. Brigid has a knack for loving hands on those wonderful
"old people horses." We were very fortunate to be able to see her one more
time. I can only imagine the inner pain of losing your first love. My heart
goes out to you.
We are getting closer of our dream to come to Oregon, perhaps we could
stop by again. your friend (s) Jack ('n Brigid of course)

I'm so sorry to hear that Marsha! Nansy was special to me too, because it was your stories about her on the rec.eq newsgroup "way back when" that first piqued my interest in Fjordhorses. If it weren't for her (and you!) I might never have become involved with these exceptional horses. Hard to imagine, now. Take care, Lori

This message is from: Lori Albrough <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > What do you feed your Fjords and why? What should one NOT feed Fjords and > why? Thanks so much! Brigid, It would be best if you can get grass hay - eg. timothy, brome, etc - or a grass/alfalfa mix which is mostly grass with a bit of alfalfa (80% grass/20% alfalfa). I feed most of my fjords (depending on a number of factors) 15 lbs/day grass/alfalfa hay plus a pound of oats each, free choice minerals and salt, and in the winter, carrots, a couple of pounds each per day. Feel for their ribs and check body condition daily or at least frequently. Good luck! Lori
Re: boarding woes, or Fjord feeding 101
This message is from: "Denise Delgado" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> dear bridgid, i feed my one fjord and one curly, a combo of stable mix from elk grove milling and the best grass hay i can find. the stable mix is similiar to the purina stable mixes; a good all around horse feed for a healthy horse, getting minimum to moderate amts of work and exercise. the amount they get varies with temperature and energy requirements. i watch their weight and check them daily as to general conditioning etc. i also top dress with a daily feed-through wormer and a fly control product. they get a flake each, of the hay, in the morning and evening. once a week they get a large box treat from my produce guy. anything he clips, trims or sees fit to send them. the reasons for the above diet are; with the pelleted feed, i make sure they get their daily requirement of minerals and vits. the pelleted feed cuts down on the manure output. the hay satisfies their chewing urges, gives them something do, is good for their teeth and gut flora, adds bulk and keeps things moving. the treats, they love, and it makes me feel good too! the fresh produce varies with the season and adds more vits and minerals. and they relish each morsel. have a great day, denise
