Re: To shoe or not to shoe-question!
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] OK, my 12 year old gelding had shoes on all four feet when we bought him. We tried him without shoes when we lived further south in California, and he got real sore. We then put shoes on the front only. We then moved further north of L.A.up in the mountains, but there are tons of rocks here. We tried barefoot again, - for a long time - again, he was limping and hurting. Back to front shoes, and when we rode him in the mountains he did not do good, so the farrier suggested we do all four feet. And that is where we are at. I don't know what to think, as there are so many rocks where we live. I have never seen so many rocks and the dirt roads we live on has tons of rocks on them. Hard on our cars too. But in this case it seems like we have to have shoes on him. Any suggestions otherwise? Rondi.

Both sides. It is soft and fluid filled, puffy sort of but not at all hard. I would think a gland would be hard. This horse is acting normal otherwise. None of the other horses have it. Noticed it about 4 days ago. It is a 8 year old mare. Also mosquitoes just came out the last few days in full force. Up until now we had a very cool spring. Mark

After riding primarily barefoot, pasture living horses, going for a trail ride on a shod, stalled horse is a bit scary! They don't know where to put their feet and can't feel much when they do. They also slip and slide which doesn't happen barefoot (talking about non-icy conditions here). Most people take good care of their horses and spare no expense. It's a psychological phenomena that we feel the more expensive commodity is the more valuable.

RE: Ticks, hens, JR's, end of the earth
This message is from: "Skeels, Mark A (MED)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reminds me of an American TV interviewer, interviewing a Olympic swimmer from Russia, the year the Dream Team was in the Olympics. The interviewer asked the favored Russian Swimmer who their favorite athelete was. Thinking they would get a reply like Michael Jordan or Larry Bird or something. The swimmer said Me. In other words,, the Russian swimmer could care less about American Sports and American Hero's. Maybe someone in Russia would think Siberia is the End of the earth. A missionary once found in China, scribed on a rock, the quotation "The End of the Earth", which is prophetic to some extent. Of course Americans think they are the only important ones on earth, thus,,, maybe I, live at the end of the earth. Every place else on earth leads toward my house. No matter where I want to go I must leave from my house, and whoever wants to visit me, always has to come my way, no matter where they live on earth. Or maybe I'm at the beginning of the earth.

RE: breyer fjord
This message is from: "Skeels, Mark A (MED)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Breyer has a Brown Dun,, a couple years ago they also had a Grey Dun. I bought my wife both as christmas/birthday type occasions. I think between $18-$25 depending on what vendor you buy from. The big regional horse shows usually have 2-3 Breyer Venders selling horses, Usually you can find at least a couple of them have the Fjord. Also there is a small Fjord about 4 inches tall sold in several of the farm and ranch supply stores in the miniture animals section, can't remember the vendor,, maybe tyco or something like that.

He is from Pakistan and is very much into Arabs and endurance. He promotes barefoot and, when people insist on shoes, he uses the natural balance. He said his horses back home were always barefoot and did very long rides through the desert just fine; however, his American Arabs get sore on the rockier 50-100 milers. His solution is to shoe just for the day of the competition, then remove the shoes right away (he made a gesture to show how fast the shoe would be pulled off)!

To shoe or not to shoe
This message is from: Cynthia Madden <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Just had the farrier out. He is a little unsual but very competent. When I tried to find one I thought would be good but more reasonably priced, I paid dearly and so did the horses. However, one thing this guy does is not trim unless they need it. He looked at Tank and Nigel and said their feet were perfect. They were a little rough around the edges and he said he would happy to charge me $40 to do a cosmetic job (which I declined). We have been lucky to never have had to shoe. It depends on where and when. I do believe Steve's Morgan,Pferd, needed front or rear shoes temporarily when he developed a split. My farrier says that Tank has feet that could do the mountain pass without shoes. My Morgan never needed shoes. But there are places and/or horses that would require shoeing. I agree with Brigid that one should not assume all horses need shoes but I do believe that sometimes they will and sometimes they won't.

coincidence
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dear Fjord List- I thought I should check in and tell you a story to boot. We are pleased to announce that Sukkertoy got pregnant on the first try this spring. Pjoska is due to foal anytime. We are very excited, since this will be the first Saethersblakken baby born in America. Marcie Baer and Susan Cook's mare Zoe will be next in line, with a baby due in July. We would like to thank Dr. Steve White for his great expertise on that one. We shipped semen to them and Zoe caught on the 2nd try. We think we have the collection and shipping process down pat. We collect Saethersblakken off the mounting dummy for every breeding here and AI all the mares. This works well for us, Dr. White and I can do a collection and AI without any other help, there is no safety issue for either mare or stallion and it makes collecting for shipped semen a breeze. Svetlana (the mounting dummy) is his only real girlfriend and he loves her. We offer a money back guarantee on conception with shipped semen so if anyone has a mare they are considering breeding, but don't want her to leave home, please contact us. Now the story- I own an antiques store and have many personal collections. 12 or 15 years ago I started collecting childrens' books with farm and animal themes. I would pick up one here or there, but never displayed them, just kept them on a shelf. A couple of nights ago, I was going thru books to donate some to a charity, and picked up the stack of children's books. On the top of the stack was a book I don't even remember buying namedOla and Blakken. It is the story of a Norwegian boy and his Fjord horse Blakken. Now mind you I have only owned Fjords for a little under 3 years and didn't know what a Fjord was until 5 years ago. And although I know Blakken (meaning dun) is a common name for a Fjord in Norway..I still about fainted dead away. The fact that 10 years after I bought that little book, I imported my own Blakken (Saethersblakken) from Norway seemed slighty spooky!!! Anyway, aren't life's twists and turns interesting. I just wondered if any of you have ever seen this story book. It has beautiful pictures and darling pictures of Blakken the Fjord. Enough story time, I am sure you are all very busy, and I have a mare to check. Janice Lee Little Farm Fjords "Home of Saethersblakken" Valley, Nebraska
