clark heater
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thanks Mike that is the heater I have. We just got a foot of snow in the Bangor Me area. I have been sleighing quite a bit in the field and am looking forward to the show. Sleighing is my favorite horse activity except every time there is a show the wind is howling and its below zero. Hopefully with the warmish winter we are having it will be a good day Sunday and a good turnout, and I will have a working heater for the turnout class. and to keep the toes warm :-) Thanks sue.

Did anyone else notice that? The article in the Herald "Color Variation in Norwegian Fjord Horses" is technically correct with the exception of one thing. The author states that "If you breed two grays you can get either a red or a gray foal." In fact, the possibilities when breeding two greys are: grey, red, yellow, or cremello (sometimes called albino). In order for a yellow or cremello offspring to result from the breeding of two greys, the genotype of one or both grey parents would need to include the dilution (Ccr) gene. The grey is the only colour that can carry this dilution gene "invisibly", by which I mean you can't tell by looking at the horse that he carries it. There are two genotypes of grey that have Ccr. White duns and yellow duns have one copy of the dilution gene and cremellos have two, which you can clearly tell by looking at them. For a grey to have the dilution gene, he would need to have had a white or yellow dun in his lineage, either directly or through a grey with Ccr. If a grey has two brown parents you therefore know for sure he does not have the dilution gene and won't sire yellow or cremello. I base my information on the Tor Nestaas article which summarizes the research of the late general inspector of Fjord Horses, Johs. Loen. Lori

Pintos/paints were > never allowed to be registered as purebreds The Arabian Horse Registry registers foals that are blood tested or DNA Tested to be pure bred Arabians and progeny to the correct parents. They are not a color registry, so will register any foal of registered parents regardless of color. Some colors are frowned on, and not encouraged, but no steps are taken. There are several types of Pinto color that the Arabians carry, sabino is one of the most common. The horses that generally carry this color type are usually minimal colored with just a loud blaze and four high white socks. It is not unusual to breed two individuals of this type and get foals with belly spots sufficient to be considered Pintos by that registry. There are several pinto type patterns that can be passed on in either a minimal way or a maximized way. I bred an Arabian filly about 23 years ago that had enough white on her belly spots, and high socks above her knees and hocks that she would have qualified as a Pinto. We recorded the spots (they had pink skin under them) on her registration papers and had no problems. And in order to bring this on topic, if you were for some strange reason to want more white on Fjords it would be possible to round up all the rare individuals that have white markings, breed them, and in several generations get Fjords with markings. I don't know of any reason why anyone would want to do that, but the foals would still be pure bred Fjords. Has anyone read their Herald yet? I know I'm fairly new to Fjords, (3 years), but I do know my way around horse color genetics and I had some serious reservations about the article on Fjord color genetics.

Showing at ADS recognized events
This message is from: Vivian Creigh <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Since I am in the middle of trying to get organized for the upcoming driving season I thought I'd pass on this tip for those of you planning o competing your Fjords in ADS events this year. I hope that means a bunch of you. I make a mess of copies of my ADS membership card, USAe membership card, USAe Pony measurement cards or forms, depending on their age. USAe horse recording certificates and all current 2002 coggins. Anything that might be required with my entry. I keep the copies in a seperate file and put all my membership cards in another file. This way when I go to make an entry I can easily find and include copies of important info a particular event might require. I never have to carry the membership cards around with me so if my wallet is stolen or lost in the course of the season I don't need to bother these org. for replacements. Also as an organizer I can tell you that it simplifies the event secretary's job to have all the necessary forms included as well as the fact that with Driving becoming so popular and events filling early those entries that are incomplete will not be accepted even if you make opening day. I put copies of all coggins in my truck glove compartment and put the originals in a file. Health certificates generally only last for 30 days but I also make copies of those and file them , just in case. Although my vet has originals of both I'd rather bother my husband if I need copies for whatever reason. Hope this gets everyone thinking about getting to those ADS CDEs this year. If you can't drive then I highly recommend volunteering. You'll meet great people while you learn about the sport. To those of you who inquired about the Kuhnle, thank you for your interest however it has been sold. Vivian Creigh
Old Horses

She was suppose to be fat from pasture and he was the fat pasture. This coming June he turns 30 and has gotten his " gold watch " from me twice but when ever I need a good reliable driving horse to pull my Vis a Via carriage I know I can count on him. He is starting to look his age ( dropping weight in the shoulders )but the old man has been one of my best friends and will live here, as part of my family for the rest of his life. Les & Margaret H.

breeding or training ?

Also, of course there are exceptions to every young horse / young kids together, and your comments with handleing are right on. Funny about the 2 Fjords you met being biters and kickers. I have a mare here, a wonderful example of good breeding ( GJEST daughter ) and has won her large confirmation class, at the Turlock show in 98 ( great Fjord confirmation ) , who will kick your head off, if given the chance when shes mad. She does not like to be cornered, or forced to move, tie ect. She gets very pissy when shes medicated or wormed, and one has to really watch it, as she has fired 2 back feet ( with shoes ) at my head, missing me by one inch. I still remember feeling the " breeze " as her hoofs cleared my face, as I ducked just in time. The offense ? I was brushing her out, after a sweaty workout, and she kept trying to get closer, smash me into the hitchen post, and I had given her a small " get over " push. She disagreed about it, and fired a shot at me.I will never forget. If she had connected, I would be dead, with a full-on face kick at close range. Shes the only Fjord we trained to drive that didnt LIKE to drive at all, and was subject to temper tantrums ( as seen at the same Turlock show in the mens to drive class ) so we retired her from driving. She is a wonderful mother, carries her foals to term, with one aborbed 2 years ago. She foals big beautiful good disposition babies, but interestingly, she is a very premissive mother, allowing her youngsters to jump and climb all over her, so they can be a handful when first weaned. My vet thinks that she suffers from real hormonal problems or undiagnosed cysts, as her behavior is stud-like at times. I have seen her " teasing " and trying to mount other horses. A couple of times, she tried it with Jeff, after a lunging session, where she reared up and tried to " mount " him as he walked away. We now handle her like a stud, and do not give her chances to hurt us. She is dominent ( surprise ) in a herd, with food around, and finally after 3 years, now have her in a group setting, with a favorite gelding she rules, and some very tough alpha mares she backs down too. If her foals showed these traits, we wouldnt have her, or breed her, but they do not. As you know, her breeding is good, also on her dams side, and her behavior in my opinion, is early training, or cysts or both. She is not the only Fjord who will try and kick, but she sure stands out as one who will, when pushed to do anything she dosnt want to do.

RE: Icelandics and multi-colors.
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi all: I don't know why it would seem so "odd" to many that Icelandics come in all the colors of the equine rainbow (so to speak). They are NOT alone in this. This multi-coloration is also common in Shetland ponies (Who knows - these two may also share a common, very distant ancestor). The Chincateague (sp) pony also comes in all colors; although I do believe they have there roots in the Shetland pony? I'd also like to agree wholeheartedly with Carol's last post re: weanlings for a family. The "right" weanling can make a wonderful family horse for the family that has at least one experienced horse person. I've seen some of the most reliable "kids" horses evolve from this situation.

Re:NON benefits of the older horse
This message is from: Steve and Mary <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> As a first time horse buyer, I, of course, was looking for that confidence building, bomb-proof, reliable push button horse that wouldn't think of killing me. I found him in Max, a 17 year old tradtitonal-style morgan. What a guy! Bay and beautiful (but a bit skinny) and would give his heart to you. After I got him home, the bills (and education about buying and keeping an older horse!) started racking up but I loved him and gladly paid. The first lesson was about seller's lies! He was, in fact, in his mid-twenties, according to my vet! I suppose 17 years old is that age that sounds not too old and not too young! So watch out! He needed his teeth floated twice a year, he had one hoof that had foundered a long time ago and needed to be watched (and was prone to season-related thrushiness), needed egg bar shoes on the front, special older horse diet (tried every other brand without weight gain on him and finally learned about Moorman's from a saddle repair guy. I would never feed anything to an older horse but Moorman's Senior Glo plus their stabilized Rice Bran-- http://www.moormans.com/equine), special grass-only hay, needed to be kept outside on pasture board to be away from dust so as to combat his coughing, trimming of facial warts and (for me!) dyeing his grey hair on his face brown occasionally with organic water based vegetable hair dye (I love living in Ann Arbor!). He had no bad habits, I had clicker trained him about a dozen nifty tricks and was drank from the hose full blast. Loved dogs and you couldn't have a better pal. His usefulness to me as a confidence builder had seriously waned the day I was dozing while riding! Yes, I was bored and started thinking about younger horses I could train myself (having been into Parelli Natural Horsemanship-even sans horse-since early 1995) but I was unable to afford boarding two horses. Another deciding factor was his bills, which in the second year topped 3500.00. I compared this to the price of a young, healthy fjord (their hardiness and natural health was very attractive to me) and made the big decision to sell him to another beginning rider (but she already owned a non-riding older morgan horse--I sold him quite honestly, with a full resume of his problems, needed upkeep, vets, equine dentist and me as the right of first refusal should she decide to ever sell him. Plus a list of his cues and tricks, of course!). She and I keep in touch occasionally and I can see my beloved Max in his pasture anytime by driving down the very same road my fjord, Finne, lives on. All in all, I am not unhappy with what I did with Max. He was a terrific first time horse, great confidence builder and friend. Just be careful if you go shopping for an older horse. They have been around the block, yes and they know their manners, yes but you could be in for a similar education. There are now books on keeping older horses. Get one of those!

Re: We would like expert opinions
This message is from: "Foxfire Farm" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hello Brad, Welcome to you (and all the other newcomers) to the List. Not an expert, and have to agree with others about caution in looking for that first horse. Our first horses (4 or 5), non-fjords, were all purchased through a local riding school, sales barn. These were horses that we had the opportunity to ride and observe in many situations over long periods. They were great teachers, the youngest was 15 at the time of purchase. We were able to learn so much from them as they had tons of experience in all kinds of situations, from trailering to showing, riding indoors, out in large groups and alone. Not having to worry about teaching the horse, we were able to focus on learning solid riding skills. Depending on the abilities of the horses, we also had the opportunity to learn some low level dressage and did a lot of jumping/showing on these trustworthy solid citizens. And they were not expensive, as they were not "fancy". Most were generic, no-breed rescues initially, when they went into the riding school. Each had a minor vet problem, like one with a hind leg that had an old injury that stocked up in hot weather. (She never had an unsound day in the years we owned her.) These were some of the best horses we ever owned and we had tons of fun with them. Some we kept to old age, one we traded in for an upgrade, (that one went to another beginner family), and others went to people who loved them for what they could teach. We still have one here, a 12 year old standardbred, bought from and still used by a neighbor for therapeutic riding, parades, trailriding and by us for visitors who know nothing. He ain't purty, but he is worth his weight in gold. We looked for a very long time for an "older" fjord broke to drive and ride and with a lot of miles. This after owning horses for 20 years. As beginning drivers, we thought it better to have a horse that already knew what to do, so we could learn without having to worry about teaching bad habits out of our inexperience with driving. Our first Fjord, Tomas, was 12 and fit the bill. Personally, I think you would do your kids and a young horse an injustice to expect untrained riders to teach an untrained horse. Yes, they may be good with working around the animals, which is a definite plus. Teaching a young horse how to carry, obey, and listen to a rider is a whole other discipline. Learning good basic riding skills requires focus on other aspects, like balance, hands, legs, body control and paying attention to the horse...lot to ask of any child. My suggestion: Buy 2! Find that older broke-to- death horse for them to have fun with and learn from, Fjord or not. Then find a young Fjord to start. (Horses are happier with a buddy, anyway) Remember, too, that it costs the same to keep a unsuitable horse as keeping a good one. If you add in the doctor bills and unpleasant experiences, the safe older horse is a lot less! Even the best youngsters have their moments...both Fjords and kids. Safety always comes first. We have seen many fearful, unhappy young riders on unsuitable mounts because their parents thought it would be neat to see the kids "grow up" with their young horses. Good luck in your search, and if there is a riding facility within reach, check it out and observe...a lot. You never know. Be sure you can try the horse for a period of time, either there or at home. Many sellers will agree to a trial period IF they have nothing to hide. Betsy Patryjak, Michigan Foxfire Farm [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://foxfirefjords.homestead.com/ << We're looking for a 'first' horse for the kids, and have been for some time. We know the general advice is to get an older, half-dead horse that couldn't hurt anybody. We tried that with a 17 year old quarterhorse, who nearly killed my very experienced wife.
Icelandic colours
