  You must have lived in the valley. Up on the mesa tarantulas rule,

I have had two horses with especially long and wide forelock.  In both
cases, the horses preferred to have their eyes covered.  In one case, we
had braided the forelock for a dressage show. He wasn't a fjord, so I
had to braid the mane, and when I braid the mane, I usually braid the
forelock.  During the first test, the judge noticed that he seemed to be
looking at the middle of his head and not where we were going.  So after
the test, we let down the forelock.  During the second test he was much
happier and did real well in the test.

We have also found that the longest hairs in the forelock come from the
place where a lot of people put the bridle path, just behind the poll.
By the way, you can see pictures of our horse, Solvar, with a long
forelock at our website: http://www.deepcreekfjords.com/solvar.html. He
definitely likes his forelock long!
Enjoy your Fjords!

Ah, glad to know I am not alone.  I was enchanted by the 2002 "Wizards Of The

The music for 2003 was good old country music.  I much preferred the

 kept showing how it could be done.  And "Ride Like An Eagle" was the one

I can tell you one thing about fencing.  A fjord is an opportunist and if
there is any way they can get theirs head through to the grass beyond, you
will have a damaged fence.  Gunnar stuck his head through my wood small gate
and lifted his head with the gate around his neck.  Off he went at fifty
miles an hour with the dreadful creature around his neck about to get him.
When he reached the far fence he had already figured out he just had to
lower his head and shake the monster off. After which the imp then spied the
open space where the gate used to be and came like a freight train, ducked
under the hot wire and immediately started feeding on the lawn.  When I left
the window and came out the door he sped back under the wire and looked
quite innocent.  The small gate is now anchored.   Jean

appear.  I'd dealt with rainrot years ago, my first introduction to it, poor
horse.  Numerous things done with the advice of others who had been through
it, none of their methods worked, the clorox, the powder for fungus on plants.
When all was said and done, we had to get the hair off, and bathe with a
medicated soap.  He ended up on antibiotics as he got a secondary infection,
swelling in the lower legs.  He got this rainrot when we moved him from our
place to a boarding facility.  The vet told me that flies can carry the
bacteria from horse to horse and that horses who had never had it before can
come down with a bad case of it, hadn't built up an immunity to it.  He never
did get it again but he did get a bad case of scratches when we moved to
Colorado and had our first heavy snow, another first for this horse.

Nope, no more than any other horse, in my opinion -- maybe even less.

I saw the most spots of rainrot on my Paint gelding. My Fjords and 
Annie, our Belgian, only get a few spots here and there, usually in the 
late winter and early spring or after a long, warm rainy spell.


Thanks, Steve, for your information that rainrot is caused by bacteria. 
I stand corrected!


Since rainrot is not caused by a fungus, I suspect my observation that 
athlete's foot preparation has "cured" rainrot is mainly due to the 
drying effect of the powder, and not to the medicinal properties of the 
product.

  I often get inquiries both on the List and privately about missing

  "bounced" for some legitimate reason, and more often than not find
  there has been none. I then suggest to the person inquiring that
  they contact their ISP, as there is nothing I can do about the
  problem, which is probably a result of over-zealous SPAM
  suppression. Here is a quote from a computer industry journal that I
  hope will state the situation better than I can.

  "...false-positives are an unfortunate consequence of the
  blacklisting practice used by ISPs. A false-positive happens when a
  legitimate e-mail is falsely classified as spam and thus denied safe
  passage through the Internet. Anecdotal research suggests that
  false-positives number in the millions per year, if not the tens of
  millions. The e-mail that I've received from Internet users at large
  and small businesses indicates that the false-positive phenomenon
  isn't reserved for the lunatic fringe. Individuals and organizations
  from all walks of life report that their e-mail is disappearing into
  the ether. More often than not, end users are left with limited, if
  any, recourse to fix the broken link in their e-mail chain-- if they
  can even find it."

  I hope this helps explain where your missing Lists are going.

Hi,
just a quick note--if anyone is interested-- the Super 8 has a pool also and
it's about a block from the White house.I work across the street from the
Super 8.It's not a big town but there is a Pizza Hut but everything usually
shuts down fairly early.can't wait --it's always a lot of fun.

I know you are all holding your breath, waiting to hear how Clark the goat
is getting along in his new home. Here is the latest report:

"Hi!
  I think Clark might be in love.  He has been making goo goo eyes and
playing kissy poo with Poncho, our mini mule, through the field fencing.
Can't let him in the pasture with them though because they are very
territorial and I'm sure they would chase him.  He goes out with the goat
herd every morning and plays around but always ends up out by the big boys!
Ah, romance!!"

What can I say? Peg
