Going boarding shopping as soon as Dagrun returns from her business trip. In the meantime, I'm spending as much time with "the boys" as possible. If I see them at least every other day, play with and feed them grass/grain, they don't escape. When I'm not around, they get bored and hungry. Feeding times are random. Last weekend, I saw the horses get fed at 10AM and 3PM! Then today, I was at the barn from 3-6PM and no feeding. So, either they were fed "dinner" at like 2PM or they weren't fed.

Fjords & fences (the saga continues!)
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] OK, what do we have the only weird Fjords in America or what? Our girls will stay in just about anything faintly resembling a fence. Regular stock wire, hot wire (with or without and extra fencing), bailing twine made to remotely resemble hot wire, or a piece of rope tied around trees. We divide our pasture in spring & summer with just a single strand of hot wire - the thin stuff, not the wide tape - and we never have escapes even when they get the section they are on chewed down darn near the dirt and there's lush stuff right on the other side of that fragile, single wire. We even have a little 8 inch high fake hot wire around the front yard to discourage the dog from using it as a bathroom, and the horses won't cross it. Last year at a "camp-out-driving-event" we attend, where there are little pole corrals for the horses, a young warmblood filly broke down the poles into the pen Taffy & Emily were in, and also the other side where a Morgan mare was housed. Our girls stayed in their own pen, and even shared space with the filly when the old Morgan decided she needed two pens (since the filly had already torn the fence down). Just kind of blows me away how much trouble everyone else seems to have keeping them in! Amy Amy Evers Dun Lookin' Fjords Redmond, OR Fjord [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You might look on the net for Martin Ranch Supply in Sonoma County (They are in Cotati or Rohnert Park) and send them an e-mail. I think they must have web site. . They are not heavy, so the easiest thing to do might be to ship to you. I know they drill out the Bakelite part of the assembly...so it could be something they get someplace special. I am not living at home right now (while house being remodelled) so cannot go out and look at how they are set up. I do know that they need to be the right size, and might not fit on a pipe panel that is oval shaped (instead of perfectly round pipe). They DO fit on 1 3/8 pipe...and I think they have some for 1 5/8 as well. Martins is having a sale...so maybe I will take time to go down there and have a look for you. Gail

This message is from: Jean Ernest <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I have had good luck with post and rail with electric: I have electric tape or wire below the bottom rail (two rail fence) to keep them from reaching under to eat, an electric tape or wire BETWEEN the two rails to keep them from reaching through to eat, and then if they start to eat the rails themslves, a wire or tape on entension type insulaters ON the rails to keep them from eating the rails. This also keeps them from rubbing butts and knocking the fence down that way. My top rails are 5 ft high; If you needed a higer fence youi could put electic wire or tape on extension type insulaters ABOVE the top rail. The small pasture is fenced with post and rail only, and those darn fjords will stick their head through the rails to eat grass outside the pasture, even when there is plenty inside. Guess the grass is always greener on the other side! They have broken posts this way. If I were going to keep them in that field for longer periods of time than a couple hours I would put electric fencing on the wooden fence also.

Rottweilers and Fjords
This message is from: "ruth bushnell" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> One of the most wonderful dogs I have ever had was a purebred Rottweiler, very sensitive, loving, and responsive. I see a clear analogy between horse ownership and dog ownership; both call for responsible management. We all require training of our horses, imprinting and socialization, often sterilization, curtailment and supervision all for a well behaved and manageable horse! All provisions that dogs need also--!! a bit of know-how, discipline from early on, socialization, sterilizing, restraint, and supervision. Unfortunately, many people fail to teach their cute little puppies obedience at the time it is needed most... (a must for a Rottweiler!) And if you don't have a fenced yard don't have a dog! or don't let that dog roam freely. 70% of all dog bites are by UN-sterilized dogs (can you just imagine the pandemonium if three stallions were allowed to run wild in the neighborhood?) A spayed/neutered dog makes for a much more compliant pet, and much safer! Not to mention remedying the terrible pet surplus problem we are facing as a nation. I know I'm preaching to the choir but it's a good message that can't be said nearly enough, and one that might prevent tragedy. Ruthie, nw mt

Re: Rottweilers
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] It's not the breed of dog. It could happen with ANY breed. I believe one of the the most common biters is the cocker spaniel, it's just the bites are not usually fatal or horribly disfiguring. The problem is a small child will often exhibit behyavoir that these dogs (and any other) consider threatening or challenging;i.e. staring, being at eye level, et al. Best solution? Don't leave any child alone with ANY dog. I had a rottie. She was a sweetheart, BUT I wouldn't leave her unattended with a child, she was just too big and she did feel threatened when one made direct eye contact for long periods of time. Now we have 3 Italian greyhounds (12lbs or less each) that I wouldn't leave alone with a child. They wouldn't bite, but they play with their "hands" rearing up and striking with their front paws and can leave a nasty scratch on bare skin. We also have 2 weimeraners. I doubt they'd bite in malice, but I'm sure they could do severe damage in play. Bottom line for the safety of both the child and the animal, don't leave them alone together.

The young one is a big lovable "dufus", pops his head up from the rear seat with a squeaky toy in his mouth and given the chance and least bit of encouragement, will lovingly slobber all over you. the old dog was the same, both well trained by their owner, never threatening, nice with other dogs, etc. Jean in Fairabanks, Alaska, still mild, was +39 yesterday with melting, to start the Iditarod dog sled race here in Fairbanks (no snow in Anchorage!)

Re: Rottweilers
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi Sue- Not to worry, your Rottie pup will not suddenly turn vicious! Any dog can bite, or kill. Breed makes little difference. Often, folks buy Rottweilers or Pit Bulls because they like the tough image. These dogs are more often than not unsocialized, untrained, and spend much of their time in a garage or on a chain. Sometimes they are even encouraged to show aggression, and rewarded for it. More than one dog together will form a pack mentality, and be far more dangerous. Many dogs do not see children as people -- they are some alien small animal. I can only imagine what happened as that child wandered out, unsupervised, into the yard. Probably doing things that small kids do, running around, screaming, all prey animal behaviors. Just horrible to think of. I am very much against "breedism." When I worked in the shelter, one year the highest incidence of dog bites occurred from -- you'll never guess -- Labrador Retrievers! Seems people buy this breed because of its great reputation (Fjord anyone?) as a safe family pet. Since of course they are born trained, the dog is inconsistently handled, not disciplined, and left unsupervised with young children. A recipe for disaster...

Re: Rottweilers
This message is from: "Bossmare" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I'm not an expert on Rottweilers but I can share some observations regarding our 140 lb. German Shepherd (neutered male). He has the most fabulous disposition. He has never growled or snapped at anything including the cats. However he has some herding and guarding tendencies...tries to herd us at times, tries to herd the ponies who totally ignore him. He is also alert to anything he thinks is "wrong" including the ponies rolling or a child crying. He barks at deer and turkeys but does not chase them. They look at him knowing that. He is wonderful with our grandchildren ranging in age from 6 to 12. He is taller than our youngest. They can do almost anything with him and he is incredibly good natured. However, we do not leave small children alone with him nor would I leave small children alone with any large dog of any breed and especially if there would be a group of such dogs. In that scenario there is a pack dog mentality that seems to supercede an individual dog's tendency for aggression but even in the one wonderful dog scenario there is possibility of that dog becoming overly excited by a running or screaming child and that can lead to a tendency to become dominant and perhaps act out in normally uncharacteristic ways. I have seen our wonderful dog get a change of expression in his eyes when the kids get too boisterous and we correct him on that. Bottom line is that I simply would not leave small children alone with any large dog. Conversely for the sake of the dog I would not leave small children alone with small dogs either.

Re: Accepting Consignment Horses to sell at BDF -
This message is from: "Arthur Rivoire" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hello Everybody from Carol Rivoire at Beaver Dam Farm in Nova Scotia We have two or three places available for consignment horses this summer. If you have a high quality, nice Fjordhorse to sell, and need help doing it . . . . Give us a call. We're only interested in quality Fjords with no bad habits, or bad training. It's not so vital that the horse is or is not trained. The fact is that we'd much rather get a horse with no training, than one that's been poorly trained or mishandled. Those horses are tough to rehabilitate! And, most owners do not want to pay for the necessary time it takes to turn around such horses. So, if you've got a really nice Fjord with no serious behavior problems, and you need to sell . . . Please call us! We can do a wonderful job for you. We have the customers! --- We have the facility! --- We have the staff and trainers! Your nice Fjordhorse will be conditioned, trained, and shown to all our Driving Vacation guests. In addition, he'll figure in our extensive advertising and on our beautiful, new website (coming very soon). -- People tell us that the name of Beaver Dam Farm is synomonous with Quality Fjordhorses. We hope so as we've worked hard many long years to achieve that recognition. -- So, therefore, when a discriminating prospective buyer starts to look for a Fjordhorse, it's very likely he'll be in touch with us, and we try to maintain a few really good horses to satisfy these customers. If your Fjord is a good quality horse, we can get you a good price. You will be pleased with the job we'll do for you! Kind Regards, Carol Rivoire
