5 PMU Mares
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hello everyone, I have just been contacted late this evening by a PMU farmer in Alberta, CN who needs to place 5 of his mares. They are all purebred although not registered, he will be faxing me all of their paperwork within a few days. Apparently, they are able to be registered just he did not have the need to do so. Between 2-3 have been bred, the others open. Some have been trained to ride. Ages range from 12-20, and they are large girls. He says they are all very nice and well mannered, he requires this of his mares but is replacing his purebreds with crossbreeds of various breeds. This is all of the information I have. Needless to say, I will be starting to fund raise again for the purchase of these girls ASAP as he is on a time limit to place them. Please help us to save these girls! Thanks, Lynda C.

re:re:saddle fit for fjordies
This message is from: "Karen McCarthy" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Pamela, Well, I DID sell it, and found a used saddle on Ebay (Hubertus/AP/ Dressage model). It fits my mares like a glove, from front to back, has a nice seat for me, and even fits the WB fairly well. I took it down to Turlock to show Dagrun, and she said she had seen some in Norway I think. I love the wintec design philosophy though, and I use webber stirrup l"leathers" and just got a new elastic girth (seems the girth is inside, as opposed to sewn on to ends. If I had the big buck$ to spend on a new saddle, I'd get a Balance saddle probably. One of the reasons I decided to abandon (for now) the Isabell, is that even if my S.O. Dave the shoer tweaked the steel gulet plate to open up a bit more, (like he wanted to!), the rest of the saddle was still not fitting thru the back and would have req'd someone to come out and change the flocking, ugh! If I have a saddle re-flocked, it's gonna be something I REALLY like & can't live w/o.

Hi DeeAnna- Unfortunately they don't always fit every horse, the same saddle that is. The good news is, they're custom made. The distributor I use encourages buyers to first borrow and try a saddle before spending the $, then send photos and a description of their horse. Some adjustments can be made for very high or mutton withered animals.

Saddle
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I use an Otto Schumacher Dressage saddle, wide tree. It has fit all the fjords I have tried it on, and amazingly, a couple of arabs, morgans, one thoroughbred, and several QHs. I have never had such a comfortable, easy saddle for most horses. However, it is VERY expensive. Mel Thomas
Re:What brand saddles do you use?
This message is from: "fred & jeri" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I just got a Thorowgood Griffin A/P Broadback English saddle for Christmas. While, granted, still in the trial stage, I am very pleased. It fits both of the 2 fjords that are broke and it sets very prettily on Mika. However, I do need to get a new saddle blanket, girth and leathers. :-) This weekend we rode both days! I don't know how long that it has been since I have been able to get 2 days in a row in. Only marginally stiff for me and Tana went past the alumimum feeder clanging pigs with just a couple of snorts. Jeri in Missouri with Tana, Mika and Ole
Transportation, MI-NY, MI-OK, MI-ID
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hello everyone, We have two routes scheduled for January, and one in February. The first will leave Michigan either January 17th or 24th, going through the Ontario peninsula to eastern New York, and coming back the same route. The second route leaves Michigan January 31st, going to Wisconsin, Illinois, Oklahoma, possibly Texas, Arkansas, then back to Michigan. The third route is scheduled for mid February leaving from Michigan and going to Idaho and back. If anyone needs a horse or pony transported to these states, or any states along this route, please let us know and we will give you a quote. References are available. Please respond privately either at [EMAIL PROTECTED] or give us a call at 231-689-9902. As a side note, due to requests we have had in the past we feel it necessary to explain our policy regarding transporting. We offer 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 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 as safely as possible.

Re: fjordhorse-digest V2003 #5
This message is from: Barbara Sollner-webb <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: saddle fit for fjordies; fjordhorse digest #5 If the existing Wintec gullets are too narrow for your horse, you don't need to sell your Wintec saddle or wait until they come out with an even wider gullet. Rather, you can get most any blacksmith to bend your Wintec gullet out to any angle you desire. I had this done to the gullets of two Wintecs years ago, and it worked fine. It should be much easier to install now with the interchangable gullet system.

I have one of these too and like it very much. It fits two of my horses very well -- gelding Finn and his momma Sissel. They have moderate, withers and are well rounded through the barrel -- much like most Fjords I suspect. The saddle sits up nicely off the spine and does not press into their shoulders. The sports saddle doesn't work for my other gelding Toupen, however -- he has well defined, high withers -- and the sports saddle mashes down hard on his back. He wears a "Cheyenne" model saddle made by Tucker with the wide tree. DeeAnna

This is one of the things I have noticed with many people and all kinds of horses.

This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] This is from Joel Harman So the trainer falls then asks the horse to stop so she will not get drug(dragged?) Horse does not stop. "flight" response took over. Horse gets worked more. Does the horse learn to stop when the trainer asks it to? Did the lesson end when the horse stopped when asked? Whoa means stop moving foward when the human asks - no matter what is going on behind the horse - no matter what the horse wants to do. Whoa means stop moving foward - now.
