Re: Anxiety Seperation
This message is from: Jean Ernest [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi Caitlin, I suspect that the change to the new barn has caused the problem, and as they become more comfortable there and get to know the place, they will be better about separation. I would just give them time and maybe when you leave one in the stall, give him some hay to keep his mind off the other, and take the other out for some grass or some treats, etc. Fjords get attached to their homes and do miss the old home when moved to a new one. I'm sure they are feeling insecure, so tend to need each other more at this time. Jean in Fairbanks, Alaska, where it has cooled down from last weeks 80's, but the big wildfires are still going. 20,000+ acres now burning in the one out the road, about 40 miles from me. Lots of smoke. We need rain! I have 2 fjord geldings that have been together most of their lives. I recently moved them to a new barn. They both seem to be adjusting well, except they have a fit when they are seperated. They have always been close, but not inseperable. Jean Ernest Fairbanks, Alaska mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I have 2 fjord geldings that have been together most of their lives. I recently moved them to a new barn. They both seem to be adjusting well, except they have a fit when they are seperated. They have always been close, but not inseperable. Say for example, last night I took them in and put Bert in his stall and Frisk on the cross-ties. They were both good ,but I had taken Frisk out to drive him and Bert went crazy. Frisk was even being jumpy while being driven, he kept spinning to look for Bert. Any suggestions to help them get over their fear of seperation? tHANKS! Caitlin

Re: Coloring in Fjords
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] No such color as apricot or peach dun, but a red dun Fjord will often have a rusty or 'peachy' colored stripe down the mane. Amy Evers Dun Lookin' Fjords Redmond, OR Fjord [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Contracted Tendons
This message is from: Jean Gayle [EMAIL PROTECTED] Just in from a terrific trip to England, Belgium, and Germany. Queen Elizabeth 2 is out of this world as a way to get there without jet lag. Going over 425 emails, one third ads. My very large Trakehner, Charley, was so large at birth that the Vet and I had to pull on him at contractions to clear the shoulders. The Vet could not lift him. Charley had windswept right legs as he was too large for the maiden mare's womb and he was down on his hind hooves and walking on his pasterns. Looked like a baby giraffe. The Vet bound his hind pasterns to keep them from being bruised and after about two weeks he was fine. The right legs corrected in short order and he went on to win in dressage to third level until he broke a small piece of bone in his hock at nine years of age.

Pictures of our new colt....Hasse
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi Everyone! At long last I have pictures of our new colt. They were taken when he was less than 48 hours old. We got a new digital camera and I am technically challenged so it has taken me forever to learn to use it. Enjoy!

RE: Two Rivers Anja
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dagrun: (and all!) Amy, they bought the mare from you, Two Rivers Anja, when she was in foal to Bjorn-Knutson. Actually, Dawn bought the mare from Grace Deboodt - from whom we bought Bjorn-Knutson - Grace had rescued Bjorn, Anya her filly Hannah Synnove, and another mare, Kiana; the former owner wouldn't split them up, wanted to sell them all at once. Anja Bjorn's filly Hannah, owned by Maggie Mclaughlin now, scored 79 (I believe) at the Turlock Evaluation last year, so I know how nice that 2 year old gelding must be. I do have a couple photos of him at a few months old. It is a shame that Anja isn't getting more use, she is a very nice mare. Hope you have fun with her now and then! Amy
New Fjord
This message is from: John Rooker [EMAIL PROTECTED] Our new Fjord, Highwatch Vili arrived safely yesterday. Of course, we are convinced that he is the cutest horse in the world! He handled all the confusion of being on a trailer for 6 hours, changing trailers at the US/Canada border and finally arriving at his new home calmly. He arrived on a lesson night at the barn, so he had a lot of admirers! We are giving him a few days to settle in and hope to use him in my wife's lesson on Saturday. Many thanks to Lori Albrough for patiently answering what must have seemed like an endless stream of emailed questions. Also, thanks to all of the members of this list for your many emails.
