Re: ticks
This message is from: "Jean Gayle" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Carol hope the temp went down. Just read up on ticks and see where feeding a horse 2 T of Brewers yeast makes them less palatable to ticks. 101 temp is slight so hope it is just upset over not getting meals. Surely the horse has all shots so should be okay?

Thought I sent that picture directly to Teresa I had at one time had about 20 of these old (vintage) photo's on my web page but have since taken them down. Maybe it's time to put them up again? I see Peg has a couple of them that she's put up on her page, but I have lots more.

Rusten and mystery picture
This message is from: "Knutsen Fjord Farm" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hi all - The Fjord world has lost one of its all-time greats with the passage of Rusten. He has had a tremendous influence on the breed in North America - it is hard to fault him. We are fortunate to have two of his offspring - Rustenson [Sonny], and grandson Erlend. Our hearts go out to Chip. Those who would like to see Rusten can find a nice picture of him on our web site. Just go to the "Herd" page and scroll down to the "ancestors" button. There you will find him at the top of the list. You are welcome to download him if you like. If you look for the picture of me kissing the goat, you will have less success, at least for a day or so. It seems that I advertised something that wasn't there. [Or else it was just a clever ruse to get you to check out our site] No, really, we do have the photo web ready - I even printed a copy especially for Beth and Sandy to see at the Eval and Show in Libby - just never got it posted. No wonder no one had commented on it! Oh well, I just turned 60 [I know, it's hard to believe], and will be using that fact to excuse myself for all sorts of lapses. So don't lose heart, the mysterious picture will appear soon. Today we reunited the whole herd of seven mares, kids, and gelding. Missed another several Kodak moments as they all sorted things out. Can't wait to see what happens when I add the goat to the mix. Erlend looked on from his spacious jail, doing his best to entice one of the pretty girls to join him, but no luck. Vilde is practicing her Horse English, and is fitting in well. I keep thinking the yellow influence from her Grandma is showing, as she is so much more buttery-looking than the other brown duns. Linda Vie called from Norway to see how her Vilda [Weeldeh] was doing - it was very nice to hear from her. We need to update the Herd page so everyone can see our Norwegian filly.

Mohr Harness
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hello everyone, We thought we would share with the list our wonderful harness we had made by Lynn Mohr here in Michigan. He is a member of this list, and a Fjord owner, too! He made us a team set of harness for our Fjords plus a quick hitch harness for our Miniatures. They are absolutely wonderful!!! Top quality material, top quality workmanship, and good prices. We have yet to have someone see our harness and not ask about it, it is so beautiful. That is what is really great about itit is strong enough for work, but beautiful enough for show. If anyone needs a harness, surcingle, bridles, repairs, etc., we would highly recommend Lynn Mohr. Now, our problem is we cannot find his email address!! Lynn, if you read this would you email us? Thanks!

ticks
This message is from: "Carol J. Makosky" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hi, I came home after being gone most of the day to a rather sweaty horse. Her appetite is good, but her temp. was 101. She has a large lump between her legs from one of the little ticks. I know since I pulled the tick off of it. Now I wonder if she has one of those tick bore illness. Or was she just worked up and warm from not being fed her 4 meals today and she spent a lot of time picking hay off bales through some wire mesh next to her stall. I have my fingers crossed that this is not a vet call and will go and take her temp. in about another hour. Right now she is busy eating. Any ideas on this? -- "Built FJORD tough" Carol M.

a baby horse
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hello list - just thought I'd let you know how our new Willow, 6 months old, is getting along. She has been here 2 weeks now. The first week she was fitting in and learning the routine here, having been just weaned, it must have been hard on her with everything so new. She was on "good" behavior. This second week she is feeling more at home and has decided to question all of her previous good training! "No, I won't pick my feet up. Well, you got it up but I will now kick. I will follow you, but I will jump around!" Luckily I am very horsey and have many horsey friends so I am not going to be undone by a weanling! She is just much more of a challenge and much more fun than I thought she would be, and certainly all "horse" (not cuddly stuffed animal). I am sure we are building a relationship that will last a lifetime. Valerie

This message is from: Steve McIlree <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Although this is entirely off-topic, I would feel remiss if any of you missed seeing this year's Leonid meteor storm because I failed to share. In the early hours of Sunday morning, November 18 much of North America will likely be treated to a meteor storm. This is a rare event with meteor sightings at a rate possibly as high as 8000 per hour. That's over 100 meteors per minute, over 2 per second! This display is something that may slip by without the general public becoming aware. Since it is probably the most spectacular celestial show that we can see for many years I want to inform my good friends.

We are very privileged to have two of his offspring; Honi and Dutchman. Honi is the most beautiful mare that I have ever seen and I don't blush when I say that; because she is.

Rusten has crossed rainbow bridge
This message is from: "Sanders" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> "Don't cry for the horses Now in God's hands As they dance and they prance To a heavenly band" Chip Lamb, (Quad-L Ranch) lost Rusten this week. Rusty, 26, wasn't in distress...his tired old body just gave out. The vet spoke at his impromptu eulogy, (in the barn, surrounded by people who loved him), saying how Rusty's innate intelligence (learning how to walk on 3 legs), and will to live are the only reasons why he has been able to live so well these last 6 years. After he was hit by a drunk driver one night in a snow storm and broke his front shoulder, most owners would have given up. But the bond between Chip and Rusty was too deep. Rusten and Chip worked together as a team to keep Rusty alive and happy into his old age. Many beautiful foals have joined the fjord world, becoming loving family members that would have never existed, if Rusten had been put down after his accident. We all smiled through our tears and agreed with her. Most of you in the Pacific Northwest knew Rusty and have probably even owned one of his off-spring or grandchildren over the last 26 years. He was a special stallion in the fjord world. The first north American fjord to earn the Gold Medallion of Quality with a Blue for confirmation. And he did it with only 2 performance tests! A record no one else has broken...yet. Canada used his head for their decal because he epitomized the correct fjord model. His progeny has placed in literally every discipline imaginable...Rusten was a wonderful ambassador for the fjord breed. We will sorely miss him at the ranch and in our hearts. A few days before losing Rusten, Chips 16 year old dog suffered a stroke caused by a brain tumor and had to be put down. When it rains it pours. It was a rough week but Chip is already looking forward to the spring foaling season when Jennie's horse, Serena, will deliver the last Rusten foal. If you want to send email letters to Chip, send them to my address and I will print them out and deliver them. Rusty had a long and happy life but he and the dog leave a large hole in Chip's heart.
