I hate to do this put I need to put my 2 Fjord geldings up for sale.  They 
are half brothers born 5/4/01 and 5/15/01.  Both have great personalities 
and are about 14.3.  They have some training to drive.  They are 
Bushwhacker's Honidew and Bushwhacker's Duke of Url. Sire for both A2Z 
Thorson with dams Boe's Kelda and Bushwackers Honi.  Priced at $4,500 each 
and will make a deal to keep them together.   Both horses are great with 
other horses, llamas, dogs and especially people.  Very easy to halter and 
get - will come when called.  I no longer have the time or means to continue 
their training.


Please email me for more information.

Hi Everyone,

I think this is only my third posting in the four years that I've been on this
List, as I usually enjoy just "listening" to everyone else.  However, I got my
Fjord Herald last night and just had to mention how good it is.again
The pictures are great and the cover is especially beautiful.   Hats off to
the Editors.  There are still a couple of articles that I haven't had a chance
to read and I'm looking forward to some time this evening to sit and
thoroughly enjoy it from cover to cover.I get my share of people who think
that fjords are just "cute, little, chubby ponies" and it's so nice to have
the Herald and the NFHR website to show people pictures of fjords doing so
many wonderful things.   There's been lots of changes since I first started
with Fjords back in 1992.  :-)

Gelding for sale

This message is from: "Dave and Patti Walter" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Just thought I'd pass on another Fjord gelding that is forsale. 13 yr old
Gelding named Banner. Was used as a lesson horse for a number of years, then
bought by an older couple who trail rode with him. VERY solid on the trails,
NOT a spooky horse at all. Good ground manners, good with other horses. 13.3hh
Owners looking for a quick sale, priced at $3500.00  I have taken him out on
the trails and rode him in my indoor. He would be kid safe, husband safe too!
Sire is Per, Dam is Flip(Grabbson x Krista)  Pictures on my website of him.

Katherine and everyone - the $500 tables are not very large - about 36" 
diameter with 4 or 5 chairs. The $500 covers both the Stallion Review and 
Evening of Dancing Fjords.   We do have bleacher seats with equally good 
viewing on the other side of the arena.  These seats are free to everyone.  We 
are adding an extra set of bleachers for additional seating.
   
  If anyone has questions, please feel free to ask.

what to do with a 2y/o

2006-08-25 Thread Jeanne Zuker
This message is from: "Jeanne Zuker" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Get some 10' posts and make squares out of them, you can get her to 'turn
within the square--giving to pressure, both directions,' you can have her
'walk-thru,' lengthening and shortening her stride (works with both walking
her or ground-driving), set them out in a row, start with them maybe 5-6'
apart (make an isle) and walk her through, having her stay within the isle.  I
would make some games that keep her mind active and isn't the same thing all
the time and will still teach her some lessons, keep it short and something
different.

With her being so young I would also work on some de-spooking, let her walk
across the poly tarp they things, just work on her confidence, walk her down
the road (if it is safe) and let her see mailboxes, hear road noise and cars,
bikes, etc passing -- again only if it can be done safely.  Take her for a
walk (or ground-drive) on trails, take her in and out of the trailer, teach
her 'your space' make up some games that teach but her keeps her thinking
(because they can think up plenty to do on their own.)

As for the bit, maybe something like a full-cheek snaffle just to get her used
to 'that thing being in my mouth.'  Again, start slow.

Most people on here have a lot more experience then I do.  Enjoy her and
congratulations!
