Re: Protective Ponies?
This message is from: "jgayle" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> My first Fjord, "Howdie" would come in between me and my two warmbloods when the latter were acting foolish or evading me when loose in my arena. Also when I was trying to catch one of the warmbloods Howdie would herd them into a corner for me. They were twice or more his size.

Protective Ponies?
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Do your fjords protect you? Twice now, Joe has come to my defense. Once was when he had just been moved into a new pasture - horses he knew, but a new herd arrangement. We had been scratching, and he had moved off a few steps and two of the other horses started to move in to see if I had any peppermints in my pockets. Joe wheeled around and put himself in between the other horses and me, and kept the hindquarters of doom pointed directly at the other horses. Last night, a big Irish draught in the pasture next to where Joe and I were standing came thundering down the fence line. Joe just smoothly stepped in between me and the approaching horse, put his ears back and waited that way until the "attacker" was well away. I guess I am flattered and proud (since he is not the most dominant or confident of ponies) and wondered if any of you experienced this? Or is this strictly defending the source of peppermints from all comers? Kate and Joe (basically, the best pony ever)
Carriage Museum (OT
This message is from: "Linda Lehnert" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Saludos desde Palma de Mallorca! Yesterday this cruise ship I'm on was in Lisbon for a port call and I had a guide who took me on a tour of the city that included the carriage museum. It was fascinating. It is housed in the former royal riding academy and the carriages are all very ornate, most with gold leaf, and belonged to the Portuguese kings and princes. Some belonged to some Cardinals. They are mostly from the 17-18th century. There were also some smaller (and newer) vehicles, including one that was last used by HM Queen Elizabeth on her visit in 1957. Afterwards, I saw some children being given rides in some newer and less fancy vehicles since it was a special day. The carriages were pulled by pairs and the horses were really beautiful and impressive. If you happen to be in Portugal, I would highly recommend a visit to this museum. It is well worth your time.

No Bits
This message is from: "lhcarriage" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> May 7th our town of Etna CA had their Parade and it was a beautiful day. One of the entries was a group of eight riders ( mix of breeds ) who are involved in the " local horse program " . They work with troubled kids and their horses. This part of the group are Pareele ( not sure of spelling ) trained. They all rode the busy parade with no bridles and no halters just a loop around the horse's neck. So well trained horses can be handled in many ways but not every horse or rider will responded to that little control. It's all in the time and confidence of the rider. Everyone at the parade was impressed. Les Les & Margaret Hoagland Callahan, CA

This message is from: Jean Ernest <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Another great book that is more recent is the Book "CONQUERORS" by Dr. Deb Bennett: Here is part of the description: "Conquerors: The Roots of New World Horsemanship This marvelous 432-page volume tells the story of mounted horsemanship from its beginnings in prehistory to the days of the Spanish conquest of the New World. An American Library Association "Best in Category" winner, this book offers the easy readability of a novel yet the technical depth of a college textbook. In this landmark work, Dr. Deb tackles one of the grandest stories in the history of the world. Native warriors, desert nomads, Norman knights, Spanish conquistadors, Argentinian gauchos, Tejano colonists and California vaqueros all contribute to the birth of the unique and varied horse cultures of the New World. Provocative and fascinating, we guarantee that "Conquerors" is one book that you will not be able to put down. With some 500 illustrations, maps, quotations from rare original sources and an extensive bibliography and index, "Conquerors" covers the history of every country in the New World that has ever bred horses of Iberian background."

Jean Gayle Jean, it is very interesting how the bit evolved.and why because some of the most accomplished horsemen never rode their horses with bits.. in fact reindeer were ridden before horses according to historical records. with nothing more than something that resembled a 'bosal'.. and this tradition was used by the Nomads of western Asia, long before Marco Polo and others found them on the plains, and invading the heart of what is now Europe. If you are interesteda marvelous book entitled, They Rode into Europe by Miklos Jankovich[published in 1971].will provide the reader a host of new concepts and break many of the myths associated with the early horse civ ilizations..and their evolution to become accomplished horsemen, including riders and breeders.
