field preparation
This message is from: jo Anbro [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi from Jo and Don in Binghamton, NY. We live with our two fjords, OH Felicia and SSF Lillevenn on a five acre parcel in a subdivision. The manure when cleaned from the stalls at this point has not been too hard to scatter around our hedgerow but I am concerned about how our fields look this year. We've had horses grazing with rotation of two fields for two years. I need your advice: the field are getting very muddy and full of holes and I know need to be reseeded or at best scatter lime over it. We have a 650 John Deere and need to purchase something to level out the soil and break up the manure as well. Then, is there yet another piece of equipment to purchase to seed and lime or can you do that by hand? We've had suggestions of a stone rake or harrow. We have a small grassless plot and two fields with an electric fence around all of them. We think someday we may move to a bigger piece of property but for now we're happy where we are. Your suggestions are always helpful and we'd appreciate any thoughts on this subject. Thanks so much. Jo and Don Anbro
few questions
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I am expecting my first Fjord foal in a couple of weeks, ( actually my mare is). Have had other foals ,but they were mules and TB/QH. Since I live so far out in the boonies, I am going to have her foal out this first time at the Vets who has 24 hour cameras. My vet wants to know relative size ( I think I remember a discussion on the list of 100 lbs plus or minus 20 as average ). She was surprised so heavy, but assumes that it is more bone density than size. Is there a high or lower rate of dystocias due to the large size, and are they more like drafts in terms of average gestation? We are planning on 11 months, 11 days which would put her due about the middle of April. Do the Fjords generally follow this? She is now looking very pregnant, somewhat uncomfortable but not making much of a bag and still quite active. She and the stallion are almost shed out for the first spring go around of the outer hairs, now working on the short hair. On another note, I am training two fjords to the cart this spring, a gest son and an Erlend daughter. I am also working with a mule and a QH. I am a relative novice but have help. If any one ever doubts the intelligence or workability of the Fjord, just try training them side by side. The non-fjords are willing, smart and I have had them since birth but there is no comparison. The light clicks on so much sooner for the Fjord and introduction to scary things like poles and drags is just matter of fact and takes a fraction of the time. ( The drawback is that as soon as they figure that the contraptions are no problem, they proceed to pick them up and drag them by the teeth around the arena. I use PVC pipes to introduce shafts and it is quite a site to see the Fjords dragging the shafts in circles for fun. ) Thanks for the help. Kathy in Se Idaho where spring is elusive. The birds are back, but it is still in the teens at night. And the great Idaho land exchange ( wind) has begun in ernest.

Lynda I CAN'T HARDLY BELIEVE IT EITHER, but I just looked again and while there is an awfully lot of peripheral material there, I don't see the one essential, the Minutes. I am temporarily speechless. Mike May... am I simply overlooking them somehow? The logo information is on page19 entitled In Search of New Logos. Says anyone may submit ORIGINAL artwork for a logo design and all submissions must be postmarked by March 31 and sent to Catherine Lassesen at 256 May Creek Road, Days Creek, OR 97429. The top 3 to 5 submissions, determined by Directors, will be published in the Summer issue of Herald. Membership will be asked to vote on their favorite design at the same time they vote on the 2006 Board of Directors. The winning designs (one for 25th Anniversary and one for the new logo) will be officially announced in the Winter 06 Fjord Herald.

This message is from: Janne [EMAIL PROTECTED] Good for you!!! The focus should be to achieve your goal, have fun and be safe!! Does not matter with what breed. And I am saying this as a Fjord breeder!! ( I also have QH) : I will also again reiterate (sp?) what I believe Carol R. has said many times, and that I firmly believe as well. With any breed, but especially with fjords: Buy a weanling, raise it yourself, and you will for certain know what you have. I have learned this from many many years with horses. I know it seems like a lng time to wait to ride or drive, but it goes fast and you have a horse you kow from the get go, and feel safe with. You will end up spending the same $$$, as weanling/yearlings are cheaper, yet you may or may not have to use a trainer etc. Now, even when you buy a young fjord, make sure they have been handled right. I am NOT saying this because I sell fjords, but honestly because I believe it!!! Janne in sunny ND
