Re: fjordhorse-digest V2005 #264
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi Fjord Folks, This is from Alex in Virginia with eye cancer and only little ponies left; the Fjords both found very good homes, The old POA, Cinnamon, is miraculously still hanging in there, at fifty (real years) I am still hanging in there too; still traveling monthly to Philadelphia for chemo-embolization; still soliciting prayers. I am engaged in trying to get the drug, Avastin, made by Genetech, in San Francisco, funded somehow, as it is not "approved" for my type of cancer, and therefore my insurance will not pay the $34,000.00 per month that it costs. My Doctor has prescribed it, but there is no way to get it. Anybody have any contacts at Genentech? Hope you and your horses (Fjord and non-Fjord alike) are warm and healthy. And please treasure your eyesight. Cheers, Alex Wind Harmony Farm Shawsville VA 24162
RE: Question on clippers
This message is from: "Karen McCarthy" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Eileen, I use the large industrial strength Stewart 'Clipmaster' clippers. Pretty hefty, but they do the job, horse, after horse. My record is 6 in one day, just major pre-show trimming 2 weeks before the big day. To keep the blades sharper longer, I clean them after each use with the air compressor, and oil the blades before, during and after use. We also have a little set of Wahl clippers that are rechargeable + are good for doing finish work. I haven't body or trace clipped a horse in years, and i don't miss it at all. What a chore...don't even get me started about where 1/2 of all that clipped hair ends up either! Good luck and give Jane a hug for me!

My clippers, which have always worked fine on my Appys, just roll over and play dead with the thick Fjord pelt. Anyone have a recommendation for clippers that are built Fjord tough? Eileen in eastern WA, where we might get our first snow of the season.
RE: Question on clippers
This message is from: "themercers" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Eileen, I have Laube 2 speed cordless clippers that you can try. They work great. Bring Jane over and we'll have a "clipping party." I also have a Sunbeam livestock clipper that will cut through anything - I bought them back in 1971 and they still work as well now as they did when I bought them!
