NFHR Herald & Free Advertising
This message is from: "The Mercers" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I received my Herald today. WOW!!! I love the color! I wonder if NFHR could get some free advertising by placing the Herald in a clear plastic envelope (like I receive many of my magazines in) since the full color cover is so eye catching. Kudos!

Re: Vinegar & Flies
This message is from: "Joe Glick" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I never tried vinegar but I do feed garlic to my horses to repel flies and other insects. I have a mare that would get small bumps all over herself that I blamed on insect bites. After I started feeding garlic all those symptoms went away. I buy my garlic from Springtime http://www.springtimeinc.com/live/ Be sure to check out their "buy 2 get 1 free" deal. You need to feed it a few weeks before you notice that it's working. I seldom buy fly spray anymore, it works that well. Joe Glick Glick Family Farm Gordonville, PA [EMAIL PROTECTED] "A Fjord will take you anywhere!"
Re: Vinegar & Flies
This message is from: snafflesnshelties <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I had been adding about one cup of apple cider vinegar to the horses feed.(not the white vinegar... the apple cider vinegar) Also adding the cheap garlic powder from walmart. . Both are supposed to repel flies. but in my case it is not 100% . The real apple cider vinegar it hard for me to find in the gallon jugs around here. Most of it says apple cider flavored. Perhaps that is why it isn't working Wonderfully. The garlic powder as I said is the cheapest at walmart.. so I have decided it must be lacking in something. I have now ordered garlic granules from herbal.com in Napa California. I heard about that source on another list and the poster was satisfied with it. There products seem to be very reasonable. I first heard about garlic and flies last year from a woman with five horses. She ordered the garlic supplement from Springtime and told me that she didn't even have to apply fly spray when they went on trail rides. But she felt it was a bit expensive for 5 horses. That is why I went with the cheap walmart source. Every time I think that I have an abundance of flies... I am informed by other horse owners that they dont think I have a fly problem compared to theirs. I received my garlic granules from herbal.com today and am looking forward to trying it. When adding the cider vinegar or garlic powder you have to start out slowly so they become adjusted to the flavor. Gradually work your way up to the one cup of apple cider vinegar. Garlic powder can be fed 1 to 2 tsp. per day... garlic granules can be fed 1 to 2 tablespoons per day. I keep one of those fly terminator bottles active too. I used to have three bottles going..but found I dont have enough flies anymore to keep them activated. Our horses spend all day outdoors... and the sorrel horses have got the best shine!!! I am not sure if it is because of the strategy/born to win from purina we feed them.. or the garlic or the apple cider vinegar. joyce

Re: evaluation scoring
This message is from: Genie Dethloff <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> This message is from: "Ruth Bushnell" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I should have clarified that I was referring to the fact that Canada as a nation does push for (non-Fjord) horse evaluations and the States, comparatively speaking, does not (according to the Internet) ...with the exception of the Fjord horse and the Icelandic. Ruthie, nw mt US Ruthie, You really need to be careful about passing on information that you get off the internet. I don't know what they do in Canada, but many warmblood breeds do have evaluations in the US, by US registries (or the homecountry registry). Many require inspections to register a foal or to give a mare or stallion breeding status rights. There are also rigorous and long performance tests that especially stallions go thru to justify their use as a breeding animal. -- Genie Dethloff Ann Arbor, Michigan

Re: evaluation scoring
This message is from: "Ruth Bushnell" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ... "Rounding the final score brings the precision of that score MORE in line with the accuracy of the system". Making the precision and accuracy congruent is vitally important to the correctness of the results - ...<>.If the precision of the answer doesn't match the accuracy of the method used to measure it, then you are producing information that can be erroneously interpreted (and that is never a good thing). Lori Albrough I DID A BIT of research on this and asked a mathematical professional about the merit of this theory and he said that while your hypothesis is correct as you have portrayed it in your original submission, it can in NO WAY apply to horse judging which is fraught with inaccuracies and that "precision" wouldn't even come into play. (I could almost hear his "horse laugh.") But I don't want to run this topic into the ground, I know Steve doesn't like that. I realize too that all of us are wholly dedicated to the welfare of the Fjord horse, but are of different opinions on how that might be achieved of course. That is the natural course of human nature. My issue is the practice of installing policies without member foreknowledge or opportunity to comment. Mike, I did realize that Fjords in Canada are not evaluated there, probably why they have taken up the practice down here. I should have clarified that I was referring to the fact that Canada as a nation does push for (non-Fjord) horse evaluations and the States, comparatively speaking, does not (according to the Internet) ...with the exception of the Fjord horse and the Icelandic. More on this another day... I am presently researching the merit in evaluations, generally speaking of course. Ruthie, nw mt US
Re: RFD-TV Video
This message is from: "Jill E. Fishinger CPA P.C." <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hello all, Ran into a friend today that I haven't seen in several months. I was wearing one of Ingrid's embroidered designs http://www.fullmoonfarm. She had seen the Fjord Video on RFD-TV and is so impressed with the breed she is buying a two year old gelding from Montana for her 11 year old daughter. She was not aware of our April 1st, foray into Fjord ownership times two. Of course I told her of all the joy & happiness Bella & Birdie brought with them and what a great group of folks own Fjords. Congratulations for a video well done and bringing friends together. Kurt & Jill Fishinger Bella & Birdie's Mom & Dad Alma, CO

The committee decided to propose the change to the the system to the BOD due to the reasoning in the document." The above statements tell us that the FHI had nothing to do with it yet the BOD minutes clearly state differently. SO what is it?? IF what's meant is not what you print than how are we as members to interpet it?? First of all we are humans just like the rest of you. As far as I know none of us is perfect. Mistakes happen & they do get missed. I guess the FHI recommended part came from it being their way of doing the scoring in the FHI book. There was no direct communication from FHI telling us to change or recommending us to change anything. If you take their whole book as a recommendation then I guess they did. Each country has their own system of doing Evaluations & scoring them. FHI is trying to get them closer together so that scores from different countries can be compared. As you might guess it isn't an easy thing to do. This is the last I am going to post on this. I have to get the forms etc ready for the La Crosse, WI Evaluation or they won't get there on time.

This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Maybe it's in the definitions: FHI "recommended" a change, but they don't have the power to actually change anything. The NFHR board are the only ones who technically can change anything.
