This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hello everyone, On another list I am on, the following email was posted about Fjord cross PMU foals needing homes asap. Just for your info, pass on to any you think might be interested. The folks who provide the Dude strings to Black Butte ranch, at Robinson Road Ranch, found out that over 200 6months old babies were going to be put down due to a drought that was going on in Alberta, Canada. These are the babies born to keep the Mares pregnant to provide PMU or pregnant mares urine for the production of Premarin (female estrogen for post menopausal women). These horses are mixed breed (most draft and quarter cross and Norweign Fjord and quarter cross) Actually pretty nice looking sturdy horses. They need to find homes for these babies. Their prices range from $0-450. For more information call: Virginia Loomis Cell: 541-280-2891/Home: 541-595-6143 this woman is located in OR.

Re:What Exactly Does a Blue Ribbon Mean to the Fjord Breed?
This message is from: John Bosomworth [EMAIL PROTECTED] Very informative Pat. Question: Once a stallion gets a blue ribbon, is it good for life or do they have to be evaluated every year or every 5 years? As to your last question ---Should we in North America consider following the Europeans' lead? I don't think it is necessary. ~Eunice in s-w Ontario
Re:dogs/horses
This message is from: John Bosomworth [EMAIL PROTECTED] Just wanted to comment on and correct the following statement: When I went to buy Finne from the Bosomworth's I was warned in advance to not bring any dogs with me since the horses would gladly chase anything that wasn't 'their' dog. On one occasion, when a couple brought their little dog into the horse pasture with them, Finne did chase it. It looked like a little fox --- so he being the self-appointed guardian of the yearling fjords decided that this predator did not belong. Since then we have simply asked anyone visiting our farm to please not bring their dogs into the pastures with the horses. Our fjords are very calm and DO NOT gladly chase everything that isn't our dog. Eunice Bosomworth Deere Country Fjords where visitors are always welcome!

Re: Dusty Barns
This message is from: Jean Gayle [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thanks for the thoughts on heaves. I have a pretty open barn, but dusty and when I began to wet the hay and to feed inside I believe I added to the problem of mold. Looks like I may have to build a run in shed, esp at the cost of good, size 88 raincoats!!!Jean Jean Walters Gayle Aberdeen, WA Author:The Colonel's Daughter $20 PO Box 104 Montesano, WA 98563

Dusty Barns
This message is from: Nancy Hotovy [EMAIL PROTECTED] Jean - I can relate to your problems with your horse with heaves. I gave 2 of my horses heaves (that's right, it was my fault). I used to order sawdust by the truckload and kept it in the barn. When the wind blew (which is quite frequent on the top of a hill) the whole barn would be dusty. You would think I would be smarter. Anyway my two I kept in the barn the most got very heavey. I tried all kinds of meds from Dexamethasone to Ventipulmin. These worked very well, except they are very expensive and Dexamethasone isn't good to use long term, especially if you want to breed your mare. First thing, I quit using sawdust and went to bagged shavings. 2nd - Put the horses outside 24 hours a day. They have a run in shelter. 3rd - Fed Reba alfalfa cubes (or pasture) for the past 2 - 3 years. I use a small bucket and put 2 - 3 small coffee cans full and fill 2/3 water. The cubes soak up the water by the next feeding and are soft and dust free. She does very well on these and as anyone who has seen her can tell you, she is not thin! I've had no breathing problems since. Only problem I had was at the Midwest Horse Fair last year. The Midwest Fjord Horse Club had one stall for feed and one for tack. I left my pail of cubes in the feed stall and the next morning Sheryl Monheim wanted to know why someone had put a bucket full of _ _ _ _ in the feed stall. Caused quite a laugh for the rest of the weekend! Nancy Hotovy www.upperforty.com

Barns Pat's article
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hello, I've been ultra busy lately in my barn since one of the gals who had been working for me, found a full time job and had to quit here so haven't had the time to write much. However, I have hired another gal so have a few extra minutes now. I'd also like to encourage you, Pat Wolf, to submit your piece to the Herald regarding the value of BLUE RIBBONS in Conformation. That was really well done. Those of us who have been involved with the Evaluation program from the beginning (I'm guilty) forget that new comers might not understand the whole process. I think we need to remember to 'fill in the blanks' from time to time for new folks. Good on you for doing that, Pat! Regarding barns and horse health - I shall be ever grateful to our vet for his suggestion, when we first moved to Eugene from Libby, that we make sure our barn was well ventilated for the health of the horses. The place that we bought here had been a commercial chicken growing operation. My barn is 250' long. We had to convert it from chickens to horses. One thing that we couldn't change is the height of the roof - chickens aren't very tall, afterall!! Big joke around here - the rafters in my arena are at about 10 feet - pretty short for horses. We don't do much jumping in there, but it works! LOL! Anyway, there were 'windows' about a foot high all around the bottom. Ventilation for CHICKENS! As we were remodeling for horses, we decided to utilize that concept - except a bit higher. Having 'been there, done that', I designed things into this barn that make it unique, but practical. Each stall has a window about 5 feet up. They are covered with wire. Each stall has a 4' double fluorescent light, walls are solid between stalls to prevent 'fussing' with neighbors and to prevent passing along germs should one get sick. Each stall also has a tie ring for grooming and tacking up should the 'official groom room' be occupied. We painted the entire inside of this barn white. That makes it very light, open feeling (hate dark, cave-like barns) and airy. The horses LOVE the windows. Very often they'll stand looking outside, just smelling the breezes. Given the fact that the horses must live inside after the winter rains start in this part of the country, having the barn light inside and the windows in each stall, they don't have such a feeling of being confined and the horses are much healthier. We do get the occasional horse who catches a cold for whatever reason, like kids in kindergarten, but it doesn't tend to rampage through the entire barn like it does when the barns are 'tight' and germs just circulate from one victim to the next. Pamela did a great job yesterday on her 'maiden voyage' with her filly, Holly. We had a good discussion about 'terminology', Western approach vs English/Dressage. There are a number of 'means' to reach the same 'end'. Having spent a lot of time teaching folks from different disciplines and at all different skill levels, I have invented my own 'lingo' shall we say, to help the rider develop visual imagery. Too bad we didn't have more time together, Pamela, 'cause you ain't seen nothin' yet! If anyone is looking for Fjords for sale, I have 3 that might be of interest. One is a 7 year old gelding, 15.1 hands (Mary Thurman, this is Glendar). He is owned by a young girl who has ridden him extensively in Pony Club activities, jumping, etc. He was ridden Western before that. The girl is apparently finding that she doesn't have time to be a teenager and be devoted to her horse at the same time so wants to find a new home for him. I also have a 5 year old mare, around 14 hands. I started riding her for the lady last winter. She is cute as a bug's ear. She is a half sister to our gray stallion, Johan, so she carries the gray gene and could very well produce gray offspring if someone is interested in breeding her at some point in the future. Her name is Mijanna and can be seen on our website. I also have a coming 2 year old filly out of our Solar daughter. Her sire is Dusty. She is ultra feminine and athletic like her daddy. She has been handled extensively, ties, clips, good for farrier - all of that good stuff. She's a real eye-catcher. Both of these girls live here and are current on shots, including West Nile Virus, worming, and farrier visits. If anyone is interested you can contact me for further details. Have a great day, everyone. Gayle Ware Field of Dreams Eugene, OR www.fjordhorse.com
