This message is from: "Frederick J. Pack" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Linda, If a Llama sees danger, it will first let out a distinctive and loud warning cry. This alerts the horses do danger and also, 99% of the time scare off the danger. Should the danger persist, coyote cougar bobcat, the Llama will attack it. The front hooves are pointed and very sharp. I can easily hear the warning cry from the remote pasture, grab a rifle and be ready to go. If the Llama attacks, another distinctive cry and I'm on the way, well armed. We bought a Kawasaki diesel mule for hauling things...including me. I can haul to the lower pasture VERY RAPIDLY.

broken axis
This message is from: "fjordcountry" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Thank you so much Brian for the information from an evaluators stand point on the broken axis. I went out today after retrieving my son's angle gage from his shoeing rig and measured nine fjords we currently have here, front and hind. The average angles were as I had guessed, fronts about 53 and hinds consistently two degrees more at 55. These were the angles on both a mare that won her halter class in 02 and placed 3rd in 03 at Libby (not my mare), and also a gelding of Jim McMillan's that placed 3rd in his halter classes the last two years at Libby. My mare who won her class this past year is at 52 and 54. The steepest angles I had were on two brothers who came in at 55 and 57. This may seem steep but the pasterns match the shoulder angle and both these guys are very nice movers and a comfortable ride. It is when the angle of the hoof does not match the shoulder/pastern that rough rides and lameness occur. This is when the horse is trimmed to that "ideal" (in whose mind I don't know!) angle of 45-48 instead of to what that horses own conformation denotes, as per your info Brian. Thanks for your time and I'd like to hear from the other farriers and the vets also on what you have seen as the average angles for fjords. Rock'n Kathi

horses & exotics
This message is from: "Linda Schleef" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I agree with Fred - in that it's all what they are used to. We raised llamas and quarter horses for a number of years. Both the horses and llamas were so laid back with each other that the llamas used to lay down and eat at the same feeder where the horses were eating. I think the only real problem was that the foals had a definite identity crisis in deciding whether they were llamas or horses! One of the funnier things we had happen is that a mare decided she would like to stomp around in the four horse trailer. We put our male llama (Richard Burton) beside her, she stomped again, he spit on her, and that was the absolute end of her moving around in a trailer! Richard took over the role of horse training that day. The first day our yearling fjord Hugin arrived on the farm, my husband led him out to a pasture beside the llama field. The 20 llamas rushed over to see the new addition to the family and Hugin barely reacted. They were allowed to sniff each other, my husband then led Hugin to his area and all were happy and have been so ever since. I'm sure others have many similar stories. Linda
Re: Jeff Morse Clinic
This message is from: "Karen Keith" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I thought it very useful that he pointed out that Tank's conformation and his current breast collar might be incompatible and he suggested trying a collar. He made some temporarly adjustments and long range suggestions for the cart to bring the driver higher. Cynthia: My mare "told" me she wasn't comfortable in a breast collar -- it just took me a while to listen! Good thing she's so sweet natured. Instead of kicking the cart to pieces, she just wouldn't go forward with any energy, preferred to walk, and would stop dead at the slightest suggestion of "whoa". I have since put her in a buggy collar, and she's much happier. Her conformation is drafty, which put the bulk of her mass above the breast collar with little below it. This caused her line of draft to be way below her center of mass. If you'd like to see pics of before, I'll be happy to send it on. It was a great learning experience. Now I look closely at breast collar fit, especially with Fjords. I see plenty that have a great deal of mass above the draft, but I guess they learn to cope with it. This mare was coping, but she wasn't willing to put any "oomph" into her performance. On the other hand, there was a lovely Fjord in The Laurels at Landhope video (don't know who it was) who, because of conformation, was beautifully balanced above and below the breast collar, so it just depends on the build of your Fjordie. If you'd like to see a photo, I'd be happy to email it. Cheers! Karen _ MSN Instant Messenger now available on Australian mobile phones.

Re: FJORDS AT AUCTION
This message is from: GAIL RUSSELL <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> There are auctions, and then there are auctions. I think it depends on how well-promoted the auctions are, and how well regulated. I know the draft community quite often trades horses at auction and that one does not automatically assume that a horse in the auction has some kind of problem. I would never buy a horse at our local livestock auction without considering the very real possibility that it is a rogue horse, or ill or lame in some way. On the other hand, the California Red Bluff Bull and Gelding Sale every January has a fairly detailed system of vet and performance checks.much like an evaluationand then the horses are auctioned off. It takes two or three days to do everything for all 150 horses, and lots of them are "sifted." People are not buying these horses for meat. The lame ones, or bad actors are simply not run through the auction. I think it IS possible that some of these horses flunked the x-ray portion of a vet check when they were being sold as trained reiners or cutting horsesthere is some fine breeding and training that goes through that auction that the owners receive almost nothing for. I had an interesting experience with the Turlock Draft Horse and Equipment Auction...where I know a pair of Unrau-bred geldings went very cheap. (They were ill at the timeI traced their history...they had been sold as a lot by a divorcing woman to a friend, on the stipulation, I believe, that he find decent homes for them...he took them straight to the auction, at which point they had shipping fever and unloaded them at a profit. As I remember, they went slightly over meat prices...in the middle of the stock market boom. BTW...they found good homes.) I bought Whodini from that auction, on impulse, at a different time. He was no-saled, as he was going for little more than meat price. That year there was a big hay shortageso stock was going cheap. However, when I went to pick him up from a well-respected draft horse breeder I was told that the Martins auction quality was not as good as it had once been (maybe because of the hay shortage) . (BTW...Whodini is the most sought-after horse in my herdI could have sold him several times over since then.) What I saw confirmed this. There were several horses there that were biting at people...viciously. ONe "shopper" turned her back on a big draft horse. He was tied in a tie stall, and she was at his head. He reached over and took a bite out of her back. I did not see it, but heard the scream. I know she had a BAD bruise. SEveral more horses tried to bite at me. Even when the horses are "shown" at these events, they are often in situations where they cannot be properly shown. Often the "teamsters" resort to theatrics that are not fair to the horse. Years earlier I had gone to the Turlock auction. There were imported, untrained French-bred Percheron mares going for meat prices. They had been pulled straight from pasture and put in the sale. Most were pregnant, but they had been pasture-bred, possibly with more than one stallion having access to the mares...such that the off-spring were going to have registration problems. A well-known breeder had become ill (probably chronic heart problems that take their toll slowly, over years) and was doing a dispersal sale. They were selling for $400. The owner was heart-broken, and, I believe, no-saled most of them when he saw what was happening. They were beautiful horses. I almost brought one home to put in my carport in Marin County! It was so sad. In a waythe best outcome is to try to see to it that Fjords that are sent to auction are either marketed properly before the auction, or go through an auction that allows people some kind of assurance that they are not "problem horses." Hmm...I would be interested to know if people are selling horses right after the Fjord evaluations...when the shoppers have had a good chance to see them in their best light. Also...I am curious as to how the SFJ auction is run. Are the horses screened? Do people have a chance to really pre-view them well? And finally, be careful about buying harness from these auctions if you do not know what you are looking at. Get help from someone knowledgeable. Gail

I personally think the whole "auction" thing is being a bit blown out of proportion. We must remember that the word "AUCTION" is NOT synonymous with "Slaughter house". Many other breeds have been having specialty auctions (whether for a particular breed or particular disipline/purpose) for a long time with great benefit to the breeds involved. Take a look sometime at the prices they get for TB yearlings at some of the race horse auctions for instance. Our Small Farmer's Journal Draft Horse Auction has had Fjords consigned several times in the last few years. These horses are bringing some of the top prices for the sale. These horses are getting exposure at these auctions, being seen by people that may not otherwise ever have seen a Fjord horse. These people may end up being future Fjord buyers - whether at another auction or from a private party. How can this be a bad thing? I guess I just don't understand why some folks are getting so worked up and putting someone down because, for whatever the reason, they have made the choice of selling horses at auction.

BROKEN AXIS-COON FOOTED
This message is from: "Ursula & Brian Jensen" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Dear List from Brian Jensen; Coon footed is the extreme form of broken axis. This structural defect predisposes a horse to stress and strain on the flexor tendons, distal sesamoid, pastern joint and more. The ultimate effect is lameness. As Curtis Pierce indicated--a horse with Broken Axis is useable in a light work environment. A coon-footed horse is hardly useable---maybe could serve as a companion to another lonesome horse. Since we are on the topic-- the Club-Footed horse has a front hoof wall closer to the vertical--90 degrees. Usually with shorter, more vertical pasterns. These affected horses suffer from lameness, irregular gait with stilted action.--Brian J Ursula & Brian Jensen Trinity Fjords Box 1032 Lumby BC, V0E 2G0 Canada 250-547-6303 [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://okjunc.junction.net/~ujensen/
Jeff Morse Clinic
This message is from: Cynthia Madden <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I have been busy with aftermath of clinic and earning a living and have had not had time to comment on the Jeff Morse Clinic our new driving club, the Zia Carriage Driving Club, put on last weekend. After a week of cloudy and windy weather and some good rain, it cleared up for the weekend though it got a little windy and cold in the late afternoon. Jeff Morse of Green Meads Farm in Richmond, MA agreed to come for his first visit to southern New Mexico and he was really glad to escape the northeast for a few days. I have to say that I don't think I have ever received so much information in so short a time and so helpful at any other clinic I've attended. Both Steve and I took a lesson with Tank and between the two sessions, I gained so much information. Jeff says that driving is a process of a thousand tweaks and that is what he proceeded to do with horses, harness, vehicle, and driver for everyone. I thought it very useful that he pointed out that Tank's conformation and his current breast collar might be incompatible and he suggested trying a collar. He made some temporarly adjustments and long range suggestions for the cart to bring the driver higher. He also made some bitting suggestions to encourage Tank to soften his jaw. Jeff emphasizes comfort of the horse and the appropriate roles of horse and driver. Jeff has real expertise, kindness and a sense of humor. I have been very frustrated and discouraged with my inability to get Tank more forward. He showed us both how to to do it effectively and told me to give Tank more praise for correctness. I feel much encouraged and have several tools now with which to work on both Tank and myself. Jeff thought Tank "talented" and this has always been my belief but I was beginning to think otherwise. It is great to feel good again about both of us working together. This is what these kind of clinics are all about. Everyone who participated in the clinic went away feeling better about themselves and their horse (and vice versa). We had a good crowd of auditors who were hanging on every word. Jeff was excellent at telling the audiences what he was doing and why. A couple of "old timers" were so impressed they came both days and told me to make sure and let them know about our next clinic. All in all it was a very successful first effort for our club and brought us some new members. Those of you who are on CD-L will know Barbara Burr who makes ultralite whips. She and her husband Cal are considering moving to this area and visited our clinic. They are great people and we hope they decided on our fair city as their new home.

That would have been a grand sight. Me trying to untangle horse hooked to cart after roll. Well, I thought it through later and. Poor Heidi. I had clipped her mane before harnessing and I'm sure she was just reacting to many little snippets of hair that had worked their way down to her skin.
