I didn't know you got to wrangle some cows where you live. That sounds like such fun. Cold, but fun. My horses chew everything they can, including the plastic tops for T-posts. I painted the inside of their shelter with cresote and hung various toys (which they ignore). Hopefully the cresote will save my shelter this year. But I have allowed them onto my cement cowyard because it is so muddy and they have started on my barn and windows, so out in the mud they go again. I have left nice, slightly rotted wooden fenceposts out in hopes they will chew them. I believe they are cedar, but they ignore them. How frustrating. I will put some big branches out. Does anyone know if maple and linden are alright? bonnie in Wi -- Date: Wed, 05 Dec 2001 16:23:21 -0800 From: D T [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Do Fjords enjoy playing with those rubber horse balls?

One caveat -- they have to be taught how to play with them. I used a simple clicker exercise. Once they get it they continue on their own without clicker or treats, just enjoying the game.

Re: Do Fjords enjoy playing with those rubber horse balls?
This message is from: dragonriffic_designs [EMAIL PROTECTED] A friend of mine used one of the horse balls with her stallion (not a fjord), but he would only play with it when no one was looking (obviously he didn't realize we WERE looking). IMO, it's kind of trial and error...they will either like it or not! reena This message is from: D T [EMAIL PROTECTED] I was wondering if anyone uses those rubber horse balls or hangs plastic jugs with beans in it from trees for the Fjords to play with.

Re: sinus problems
This message is from: Jean Gayle [EMAIL PROTECTED] Steve thanks for getting to me. This boy it near 18 hands and I went through two months of dosing him with bute, and about ended up in the hospital. He did get better about accepting the dosing towards the end. I must be honest as I have not started SMZs yet. I want to know that that is the best and only course. He had an allergic reaction to a penicillin shot when he was a colt. Now twenty. I do have some antique medicine bits that I might clean out and use. Some of this I blame on his tremendous reaction to the sarcoid med Regressen (sp) last winter as it took a lot out of him. One of those sarcoids is still working. It is as though all the immune system has gone to the sarcoids. Would like your input.

Fjord calendars
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] In a message dated 12/5/01 3:24:22 PM Pacific Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Hi Gayle: Just had a quick look at your web site and wanted to let you know you did a beautiful job. Not many quarter horse people around here would even give a Fjord a second look. Anyway I live about 45 minutes east of Calgary, Alberta and presently have 9 Fjords that I love dearly. Just wondering if you might have a couple of these Fjord calendars still available. I did see the conversation about them earlier but I hesitated because of our crappy dollar. Changed my mind today and thought I'd buy myself a Christmas present. Please let me know if their is a chance and how much extra you would need for the shipping and postage. Keep up the great work you and your husband are doing with the Fjords. Hope to be at Nordicfest next year. Was to late to get accommodations this year. Have A Good Day, Marg Shorhen Hi Marg, Thank you for the kind words. Regarding the Fjord calendars - I received so many requests for them that I had to reorder twice! The last time, I ordered 5 extras just for in case purposes. Next year I will start earlier taking orders! This just kind of took me by surprise since, as I mentioned earlier, I have these calendars made each Christmas for friends and family, but they are spendy to have made so never thought of offering them to anyone else! It looks as though I would have one left for you provided everyone who has ordered one still wants them. I am not sure what the difference in postage will be to Can. I will have to check on that and can let you know about that privately. Linda Kerr, could you contact me privately, please? I tried to email you, but it came back to me. Don't know if, perhaps, I did not get your email address correct? I will be sending the calendars out tomorrow to those folks who have sent their checks. Thanx!

Re: gettin' the cows and wood chewing
This message is from: Karen McCarthy [EMAIL PROTECTED] Bonnie, I checked out Maple (Acer) and Linden (Tilia) species on this site : http://www.ansci.cornell.edu/plants/index.html and there were no red flags raised...so keep tossing those branches ;~D It's funny, but my fjords are not wood eaters. They are out on very rough pasture allot of the time, and when brought in, they ignore the wood in the stalls and just loaf, but not the regular horses! We put old engine oil brushed on the wood they try to chew - probably just as toxic as creosote, but allot less $$! Yes, Bonnie, the fjordies I get to play with the cows now and then. Dave now has about 30 head; 10 of them are yearlings, and they are here on the ranch where we live caretake, the older ones are all mixed in w/ another larger herd on a ranch we lease for cattle hay from the BLM, all together about 130 are over there. This Sat. am we get to go vaccinate, so that means getting to bring 'em in to the sorting area. My 5 y.o. mare Alycia (Sven x ThyriGromar) isn't a cutting horse, (sorry, IMO fjords don't come close to what a good 'cowy' cutting horse can do, but she is fearless and will watch a cow, and can stay on 'em, hold 'em push 'em w/ the best of them. Her little sister, Idelle (Sven x Tise Sivert) is a little hotter (takes after her dam Tise) and she is skittish about cows. For some reason, she missed being in with them, and now she is 3 1/2 and acting up around them - time to put her in with the yearlings for some de-sensitizing!
