The Meeting is set for March 28-30, 2003 in Richland Center Wi with Wayne Hipsley as speaker. Topics are The What's and Why's of Equine Evaluations, Where are the Fjords in relationship to the horse Industry. Plus round table discussions with selected topcis and developing a marketing and advertising program. Wayne is an excellent speaker with a brain full of knowlegde that we can all gleam from. I will post to the list all the information once I get an official copy in the mail for all you non-members or anyone who does not recieve it in the mail. As always the MWFHC does an excellent job of clinics and in my opinion is a very progressive club with wonderful members, the meetings are always informative and the fellowship is divine. Try and attend you won't be sorry. Congrats to Linda Walker on her purchase of Phelisia from Old Hickory Farm Can't wait till you get her home.

Silas is a better riding horse than driving,which his owner is too, probably number one reason why he is better at riding!!!
rainrot
This message is from: Debby Stai [EMAIL PROTECTED] Yuck, rainrot. We're having a heck of a time getting some scratches in control in the lower front legs of one of our guys that is at school with college daughter. I'm bringing him home and letting my vet here take over as I don't think they know what they are doing, and now the horse is a nervous wreck from the picking and picking and picking at him. I know the scabs need to come off but all in good time. I've talked with several vets and they think it can live in the soil at some facilities, I believe it as this barn has horses that when they get a cut or a booboo, they get some scab/scratches. He'd brought it home with him last summer, we got it squared away and now he has it again, has since November. Thank God she graduates and he doesn't have to go back there. We'd dealt with rainrot with a horse years ago, our first introduction, a bad bad case, he lost all of the hair on his backend. Would never let one of my guys go through that again. Debby

After living on the Wet Coast of BC for 20 years, I've seen a lot of rainrot but I've never seen the hairs grow back in white. Everyone scrubs the scabs off before washing with Betadine.

Re: new members
This message is from: Jean Gayle [EMAIL PROTECTED] My horses get rain rot every winter because they get so wet and muddy you can not keep them groomed. I begin as the weather turns warmer to comb and rub the areas as much as the horse will allow until eventually shedding and combing cure the problem. Never had a change in hair color . Sometimes heat is felt in the area and the horse may be quite sensitive so just letting shedding take care of the rot seems to work just fine.

This message is from: jo Anbro [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi, my husband,Don and I bought a two year old this summer from Julie Will. Julie was wonderful to work with and we were so sorry to not get to know better this wonderful person. We are keeping OH Velicia at a great farm with other Fjords. She was recently diagnosed with rainrot. The vet was not concerned but said we should pick her scabs before putting the Betadine on, and make sure she gets plenty of sunlight. That's rather difficult in Binghamton, NY. After checking on the internet, some people say not to pick the scabs because the hair will grow back white. Any suggestions? We are building a barn on our property and would also like to know if anyone has installed a Groundmaster flooring. We are having a large run in and box stall. Veli's mother, 26 year old Vanja, will be her companion horse while we borrow her. Does anyone have information on her past? Thank you so much for any help!

Re: non-synthetic wormers
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tobacco can be used as a pesticide. I know people that grind up chewing tobacco, mix it with water and spray it on their garden plants. I wouldn't count on it to kill intestinal parasites though. The amount of nicotine needed to kill these parasites would cause bad side affect with your horse. Steve White, DVM Sport Horse Vet.
