Dear List:

I am in Colorado, and just this week saw a news item on West Nile virus.  It 
said a dead crow was found with the virus in Lincoln, Nebraska, the closest 
it had been found so far to Denver (just under 500 miles according to 
MapQuest).  Time to get the vax from the vet.

I have to throw in my two cents here.  A friend of mine had a Australian
Cattle Dog..cute as bug, but no matter what she did this dog wanted to
HERD!it would circle the horses endlessly when they were out.  The
only thing she could do would be to lock her up.  she even wanted to 'herd' my
kids!   The dog did get kicked a few times, nothing serious, but still it
would herd.  That is just what they are meant to do

  Your dog is genetically programed to have a strong instinct to herd. It
  may be difficult to ever reliably train this dog not to herd your
  horses. Horse kicks and human punishment will ~not~ deter a herding dog,
  speaking from experience.

Re: Meadowbrook carts

2002-07-27 Thread Karen Keith

This message is from: Karen Keith [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Please consider bailing out as a last resort, in danger of losing your 
life.  You and your horse will generally have a better outcome if you can 
stay in the carriage and provide guidance.




If you are real new to driving, I would start out with an easy entry cart.
They are much easier to bail out of if necessary.


That being said, I too prefer the easy entry style vehicle as opposed to a 
meadowbrook, but I'm not keen on the little pipe carts.  Just not sturdy 
enough in my book.  A Fjord put to a pipe cart is an awful lot of engine to 
a mighty lightweight vehicle.


If you're looking for a good-looking, easy-entry style cart which will take 
you from pleasure driving to combined driving, contact me privately.  I am 
an importer of steel competition carriages from Australia, and the fully 
dismantle-able and adjustable jinker may be just what you are looking for.


Cheers!

Hi Taffy :
My neighbor ( who has 11 Fjords) and myself use Aussie saddles all the time 
with our Fjords. They work great, we have some with and some without the horn. 
We bought ours off of Ebay, they go for about $200. Make sure that you buy one 
with a wide tree. 

Best of Luck,

Hi,
We in Wisconsin are experiencing our first cases of chronic wasting
disease (CWD).  Is there a sight for more info on this or can anyone in
the west give more info to me.  I am rather concerned with eating
venison that may have this.  We can't seem to get reliable information
if this can be transmitted to humans.

Hi Everyone-

Well, I'm all set to sit in a tiny chair for 15 hours and magically emerge in 
Norway! So excited about this vacation, the first real one I've taken in 
years. Dagrun is boarding her plane tonight (business class with free miles) 
and I'm boarding tomorrow (econo). When I arrive on Sunday it will be my 31st 
birthday. How much excitement can I handle all at once?? ;-)

We should have internet access and will be posting to the list, describing 
our many Fjord-related adventures. Dagrun will be competing in the Fjord 
Nationals, while I'm her cheering section and photographer!

My next post will be from Oslo. See you there ;-)
