Re: cattle feed bad for horses
This message is from: Alison Bakken <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hi Mark, I know that cattle feed is bad for horses. I don't know how much it takes to affect them. One of the problems that shows up is heart problems. One person I talked to said that they had a horse that had small heart attacks, from cattle feed. Goat feed can be just as bad. That's all I know about the subject. Alison Bakken In cold Alberta
bobsledding with the team
This message is from: "Robert Morgan" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hi, We had a very foggy Thanksgiving Day here in the Helena valley, we had some snow, so we brought out the young team and went bobsledding in the hayfield. It was so foggy that you literally could not see across the field. It was really a neat experience. As far as team stuff goes, we use standard equipment, these guys don't even slow down with either the full size bobsled, manure spreader, or the wagon we purchased from a gentleman that had Belgians. We use the wagon only on the roads, it is way too heavy to be pulled on a wagon train by the Fjords, we are re-building a mountain wagon for that purpose. Bonnie, Helena, MT valley, snow on the ground, below freezing temps for the past week, we are in winter mode.
Congrats to Janice!

December 6-20, TX-UT, UT-MI
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hello everyone, We are finalizing our December 6-20th route and have the following openings: 2 stalls from Texas to Utah. 1 stall from Utah to Michigan. If anyone needs a Fjord transported to these states, or any states along this route, please let us know and we will give you a quote. References are available. As a side note, due to requests we have had in the past we feel it necessary to explain our policy regarding transporting horses. We offer the horses free choice hay (preferably hay they are used to from the farm they are leaving), water, and breaks every 4 hours. They also will get an overnight rest. Please do not ask us to drive straight through and to not give the horses breaks, we will not do this. We realize the cost for you could be less, certainly, but we will not transport our own horses or ponies in this fashion, nor will we anyone else's. Our goal is to have the horses and ponies arrive to their new farm in the best possible condition with the least amount of trauma. This is a tried and proven practice for transporting horses as safely as possible.

Re: Holiday Decorating
This message is from: Jean Ernest <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I don't know if this would work with your Fjords if they ate the glass ornaments, but here is something to do if your puppy eats them: *COTTON BALL REMEDY* What do you do if your puppy (or mischievous older dog) gets into your holiday decorations and eats some of the glass ornaments? This potentially lethal mishap can darken even the brightest holiday season. *THE PROCEDURE:* BEFORE the holiday go to a pharmacy and buy a box of cotton balls. Be sure that you get COTTON balls...not the cosmetic puffs that are made from man-made fibers. Also, buy a quart of half-and-half coffee cream and put it in the freezer. Should your dog eat glass ornaments. Defrost the half-and-half and pour some in a bowl. Dip cotton balls into the cream and feed them to your dog. * Dogs under 10 lbs should eat 2 balls which you have first torn into smaller pieces. * Dogs 10-50 lbs should eat 3-5 balls and larger dogs should eat 5-7. * You may feed larger dogs an entire cotton ball at once. Dogs seem to really like these strange treats and eat them readily. As the cotton works its way through the digestive tract it will find all the glass pieces and wrap itself around them. Even the teeniest shards of glass will be caught and wrapped in the cotton fibers and the cotton will protect the intestines from damage by the glass. Your dog's stools will be really weird for a few days and you will have to be careful to check for fresh blood or a tarry appearance to the stool. If either of the latter symptoms appear you should rush your dog to the vet for a checkup but, in most cases, the dogs will be just fine. *An actual experience:* I can personally vouch for the cotton ball treatment. While I was at the vet waiting for him to return from lunch a terrified woman ran in with a litter of puppies who had demolished a wooden crate along with large open staples. The young vet had taken x-rays which did show each of the puppies had swallowed several open staples. He was preparing them for surgery when my wonderful vet came in and said no surgery. I watched him wet several cotton balls, squeeze out the water and pop them down their throats. Within 24 hours every staple was accounted for. This was a lesson I learned in the mid-1960s and have had to use several times on my brats. I wet the cotton balls and smear on some liverwurst and they bolt it down and ask for more. The cotton always comes out with the object safely embedded. Copyright reserved to Sandy Brock. Permission is hereby granted for any nonprofit reproduction by any person or group.

Re: Holiday Decorating
This message is from: "Brad D Baird" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> With all the talk of holiday decorating, I thought a word of caution might be appropriate. Christmas decorations, while beautiful, can be health or safety hazards if not done properly. And around the barn, safety is trickier than in a house with toddlers. We're well acquainted with both! Animals do like nibbling at anything different. Keep all lights and cords, and any decorations, well out of their reach. Even paper ribbons can contain harmful additives, and one could burn a barn pretty quickly if electrical lines fall in the hay. Staples, while real convenient, are nonetheless sharp metal objects that can get lost in the feed. I'm not a complainer, really. For over 15 years now we've had our tree decorated the day after Thanksgiving. But after rescuing valuable and fragile decorations from both animals and toddlers, we've learned just how careful we need to be.
