NO POOPY STALLS HERE

I clean that (poop'n) stall everyday, yuk! I have 4 acres that they can poop in, but no, they want that special stall. There has to be solution! >> Hi Linda ! I can help , but you need to be willing to make the changes. OK, here go's. I have a new ( this year ) barn. Barnmaster, raised center roof, skylights over every stall, 16 ft center, tack room, feed room ect. All concrete center, gravel, dirt, floors in stalls, with almost 4 in mats now. There was no way I wanted to deal with poop pens for stalls, as every stall has a run outside, with the 4 on the ends extra big paddocks. Horses use stalls for litter box's when given a chance. So, I didnt give them a chance. For weeks ( WEEKS ) they were all LOCKED OUTSIDE. ( Yes it was Dec. in UTAH, and very cold, snow ect.) are you KIDDING ? They were happy as clams. ( Fjords right ? ) They are born in Norway, in the snow, some of mine came from Minnesota, where you had to FORCE them inside for water, once a day, otherwise content to hang outside in 30* below windchill.. Anyway, our winters here in Southern UTAH are very mild, and they always like it outdoors given the chance. So, for weeks they pooped outside. They developed their own poop place on the outside of their stalls. They are creatures of habit. Once they start pooping in a specific spot, USUALLY they keep doing their business there. After they had firmly soaked and distroyed a spot outside, they were allowed INSIDE for meals. Then, locked out again. None of them changed their poop place from outside, and a few weeks later, I had them all with 24 hr. in-or-out-by-choice, all urinating and pooping in their " old " outdoor spots. NowI have changed around whos inside the barn, with youngsters comming in for a few weeks at a time for new lessons, then headed back outside with gang of 3 and under monsters to grow up. Only one stubborn filly insisted on pooping in her stall. The other newbies smelled or noticed the old places outside and graced the spots with their own piles. ( we clean stalls every day, thats what 15 yr old sons are for ) Interestingly enough, this fillys MOTHER was a total PIG in a stall, and was my only failure yet at teaching outdoor pooping with 19 here currently. Her MOTHER had lived ( and pooped alot ) in the same stall while living here, ( yes its LUPIN, Catherine ! ) and her filly was finally totally tossed out of the delux living, and now just gets tied up for lessons ( she hobbles really well though ) All other stalls remain poopless. Same worked for my stallion barn, where both of my studs live side by side, and both poop out back. Both will urinate in their stalls, but stand on mats, covered with shavings, so no poop scooping, and easy wet spot removal with every 2 week stripping for new shavings. Even my mares have trained the babies of the " rules ", and people think that I constantly clean stalls, as always clean, fresh and simply dirt or mats. HA. Hope this works for you..unless you live in Alaska ( Jean ! ) or Nova S. ( Carol ) Im thinking that their winter comfort is more for you than them ! GOOD-LUCK !Lisa Pedersen * in warm Cedar City, around 58 today.nice weather to roach off all manes for the winter !

TWO - Very well trained Geldings For Sale
This message is from: "Patti Jo & David Walter" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hi List, Just thought I'd spead the news on two VERY nice and VERY well trained Fjord Geldings that have just gone on the market for sale. The owner has asked me to help her sell the horses. She is rather busy and so all inquiries can go thru me. The horses are in the Milwaukee WI area. I know both horses very well and the owner. The first is Oslo Gull, or "Oz". Oz is a tall Fjord, 15+hh, wonderful movement and very very smooth. He has competed in schooling dressage shows and scored in the upper 60's. He is SUPER light in the bridle. Oz has been out on the trails and even trained in western. He has impecible ground manners, NOT pushy at all. He is a solid 1st level in his dressage training. He is 8 yrs old and you can see of picture on him on the nfhr website. 100% sound and heathly $9500 The second is a red dun 14hh solid bodied gelding named North Creek Bjoge or "Bogie". Bogie is currently used as a therapy horse for disabled children. He never makes a wrong move with them, he knows he is carrying precious cargo. He also is ridden by his owner in dressage and is also a solid 1st level horse. Bogie has been to the Midwest Horse Fair in Madison Wi, been in parades, open shows and on trail rides. Bogie has been trained to drive in the past but has not been hitched in several years, it would not take much to get him driving again. Bogie is 11 yrs old. He is very brave and a fun horse to ride.

These are very nice horses and the price reflects that. It takes a lot of time, talent and money to get horses trained well. I know a lot of people want cheap horses but you usually get what you pay for and it's usually a young horse that is not trained or one with problems.

Missing Missy Yenna
This message is from: "Knutsen Fjord Farm" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hi - The other evening I experienced a little excitement - well, OK, fear - OK, abject terror - when I returned from errands in town just before 6 pm. It was dark by then and I went out to call all the mares in from the pasture for their grain in the paddocks. Sadie, Vilde, and Yuli trotted up eagerly, as usual. No Yenna. Very unusual. I let the girls into their paddocks and started to walk the pasture. I could see a little because of the reflection from the snow on the ground, but didn't have my flashlight with me. I reached the end. No Yenna. Since her winter coat is pretty white, I thought I might have missed her and quartered my way back to the barn. Every lump in the snow set my heart racing! Could she have slipped in the snow and broken a leg? I could have become an adrenaline donor at that point! Next step - feed the three mares who were in, then get the flashlight, halter, and lantern. Just as I am ready to set out - guess who casually strolls through the open barn door, saying in horse, "Well, you called. Where's mine?" This time I closed the barn door [which is not accessible from the pasture] after the horse was in! Yenna, clever girl that she is, had discovered before we did that the fence charger had committed suicide, and had taken full Fjord advantage of that fact. She must have been dainty about it, since none of the wires was misplaced. Moral? Not sure there is one, but do be sure to protect your charger from the elements as much as possible. The world does not need more adrenaline Bye, Peg www.elltel.net/kffjord/

Norwegian web sites
This message is from: "Knutsen Fjord Farm" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hi all - There some wonderful candid pictures of the stallions from last year's show at Nordfjordeid. To see them, go to the NFHR site and select Links. Once there, choose "Norges Fjordhestlag," then "Formedlemmene," then "Bildearkivet." There are 6 pages of photos. First in Quality of each age level is shown - Rannar, 8 years and older; Lunner Graen, 5 years old; and Fiskarguten, 3 years old. Any horse described as having "ikke kara" did not qualify for a ribbon and permission to be used as a stud. The pictures will enlarge if you click on them. There are also some nice pictures of the colors of Fjord horses at "Norges Fjordhestlag." On the first page choose "Fjordhesten" from the side bar, then "Rasebeskrivelse." Way cool! Enjoy!

This message is from: "Linda Thornsberry" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I have a problem: I have three stalls that my horses can get into. One stalls seems to be there poop'n stall. Is there something I can put on the cement floor that will make them STOP poop'n in there? They do not poop in the other stalls. I clean that (poop'n) stall everyday, yuk! I have 4 acres that they can poop in, but no, they want that special stall. There has to be solution! I know someone will say, just lock them out of that stall, but it is winter and they need to get in there to get out of the weather. Thanks Linda
