New Book from Sunwood
This message is from: Ron Sherrie Dayton [EMAIL PROTECTED] Howdy from Sunwood. Yes, I am doing another book (Sherrie is rolling her eyes!) What I want to do is put together all the great recipe's from all the Duth Oven Cook Off's and Wagon Trains we have had here at Suwood over the last 6 to 7 years. I will include pictures, stories, poems, etc. If I could get any of you who came and cooked at these events just send me the recipe's and stories, photo's etc. and I will include you in the Cook Book. The cost should be under $20. I will publish, bind and print it myself. Over the years we have had some really great dishes and we will be doing another Cook Off/Wagon Train this summer. Thanks again for all your support on these projects. Happy Trails Ron Sherrie Dayton E-mail me or send information for the book to: Sunwood Fjords Carriage Co. 28281 North Ramsey Road Athol, Idaho 83801 USA For further information call (208) 623-3600 The FjordHorse List archives can be found at: http://tinyurl.com/rcepw
Re: bits
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] i think one of the things i learned from my former trainer (aside from the fact she did not like oz), was how to use what she uses and is called a special guidance rein. it's designed for beginners, but i still will use it when i ride western. the reins split before the bit, with the lower part being longer. it's used with a short shank leverage bit, and when it's pulled to the side, it has the same effect as a snaffle, with direct reining. by pulling back, you engage the lower rein, which causes the leverage to be used. it's almost like riding a double bridle without having to juggle two reins. here's a link to her site: _http://www.brainerd.net/~rockingt/SpecialRein.htm_ maybe it explains it better than i can. we also add a running martingale. laurie, and oz, who wonders where the snow is???

This message is from: gillgables _ [EMAIL PROTECTED] A suggestion for Oz and his person re: plastic bag boogie monsters...I tied plastic bag handles together and strung them down the side of my draft cross Scooby's run. He had to walk past them to get to his feed etc. Once that was a non-issue we progressed to bag-ropes across the run, from the rafters, hanging over the feed bin, tied to bucket handles. Anywhere I could think of. In no time Scooby has become oblivious to bags except to wonder If there's a bag there must be feed! Note: Bags are easily torn and never once did Scooby become entangled by them. They break down quickly in the sun so be sure to replace them before they fly away and become litter. _ Communicate instantly!

My fjord purchase
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hello all, I finally bought a new fjord for lower level dressage. I have purchased an 11 yr old gray mare, Pjoska (Leik x Hilda/Dragtind x Heidi), from Janice Lee at Little Farm Fjords. Pjoska has had a very good life starting by residing with Julie Will where she produced OH Uljar by MVF Erlend, then bought by Lori Albrough who got a foal out of her, Eagle by Flotren, and put about a year of basic dressage training on her. Janice purchased her five years ago and has done lots of trail riding, jumping, and some dressage with her. Janice got two beautiful foals from Pjoska out of her imported stallion Saethersblakken. Her newest foal is being weaned now and she is ready to come here. If you read on the list about Janice's scary trail ride, Pjoska was the fjord that brought her home safe and sound. It has taken me a long time to find a mare of breeding quality with the type of conformation, gaits and movement I want for dressage, solid in all three gaits with a correct dressage foundation, along with being a rock-solid brave trail pony, and of size to carry me easily. I also looked for that look in the eye that said I'm confident and know what I'm doing but will look to you for guidance and I've got more to me than meets the eye (mischief perhaps?). Her jumping ability ~ 2'6 (I think) will be wasted on me but who knows how brave I will get in the future. My riding training from age 7-24 was in hunt seat!! Thank you to Lori Albrough for looking out for me and giving me a heads up that Pjoska was coming on the market, to Lori and Janice Lee for alleviating all my fears during the buying process. Some of you may know that I wanted a fjord trained by Lori, but I missed out on some opportunities and am now glad to be buying a fjord that was in Lori's hands and training for awhile. Lori is my role model but has far exceeded my dressage dreams - congrats Lori. If all goes well, Pjoska and I will be showing at Training level this summer and she will also be evaluated by NFHR. I would like to give a huge thank you to Patti Jo Walter who first sold Finne for me to the perfect home so I didn't have to worry about my decision to sell him. Then Patti advised me, befriended me, cheered for me, waiting to hear if this horse or that horse would work for me. She has incredible patience and insight and it never feels like she is in it for the money (though she does like to get paid!). I did not end up buying from Patti Jo but I would highly recommend her to anyone.

Transporter question
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hello all, I am shipping my new fjord from Nebraska to Michigan. Due to the timing, I have had to contact shippers that I do not know. I am wait listed on Nationwide who several people on the list have used and recommend. My best bet for transport in the next week is All-State Horse Express from Colorado Springs; has anyone used them? Terry Brink, Holland, Michigan was recommended by a carrier that I like (but doesn't do this route) and Terry recommends Charlie Downs from Ohio and Oklahoma if I don't want to wait until Terry comes through. I also have bids from small companies with the correct timing from Pure Pleasure Horse Transport, Owensville, Missouri; Wishing Well Arabians, Arkansas; and David Moore Family Equine Express, Iowa. If anyone has any feedback on any of these shippers, I'd appreciate hearing it. I'd only need to hear if you did not like Nationwide as they have been recommended by several people on the list. Thanks in advance for your feedback. -- Genie Dethloff The FjordHorse List archives can be found at: http://tinyurl.com/rcepw
Emailing: Implanted Microchips Cause Cancer
This message is from: Uli Schnabl [EMAIL PROTECTED] A friend of mine who breeds Morgans e-mailed me this article. I never thought about the possible negative effects of microchips before, but find this atricle quite interesting. Have there been any reported cases of cancer in Fjordhorses because of their implanted microchip? On a more positive note: Merry Christmas to All and Happy Trails in 2007! Uli Schnabl,Chase BC Implanted Microchips Cause Cancer By Jane Williams December 20, 2006 At the National ID Expo in Kansas City, Arkansas Animal Producers Association President Michael Steenbergen asked, What safety studies have been conducted on the chips that are inserted into animals? His question was met with total silence. Did these manufacturers not know, or were they unwilling to admit that research has confirmed that implanted microchips cause cancer? Melvin T. Massey, DVM from Brownsboro, Texas, brought this to the attention of the American Horse Council when he wrote, I am a retired Equine Veterinarian and still breed a few horses. Because of migration-infections-increased risk of sarcoids I will not want to have microchips in my horses. The Institute of Experimental Pathology at Hannover Medical School in Germany reported , An experiment using 4279 CBA/J mice of two generations was carried out to investigate the influence of parental preconceptual exposure to X-ray radiation or to chemical carcinogens. Microchips were implanted subcutaneously in the dorsolateral back for unique indentification of each animal. The animals were kept for lifespan under standard laboratory conditions. In 36 mice a circumscribed neoplasm occurred in the area of the implanted microchip. Macroscopically, firm, pale white nodules up to 25 mm in diameter with the microchip in its center were found. Macroscopically, soft tissue tumors such as fibrosarcoma and malignant fibrous histiocytoma were detected. Ecole Nationale Veterinaire of Unite dAnatomie Pathologique in Nantes, France, reported, Fifty-two subcutaneous tumors associated with microchip were collected from three carcinigenicity B6C3F1 mice studies. Two of these 52 tumours were adenocarcinoma of the mammary gland located on the dorsal region forming around the chip. All the other 50 were mesenchymal in origin and were difficult to classify on morphological grounds with haematoxylin-eosin. Marta Vascellari of Instituto Zooprofilattico Sperimentale delle Venezie at Viale dellUniversita in Legnaro, Italy reported examining a 9-year-old male French Bulldog for a subcutaneous mass located at the site of a microchip implant. The mass was confirmed as a high-grade infiltrative fibrosarcoma, with multifocal necrosis and peripheral lymphoid aggregates. The Toxicology Department of Bayer Corporation in Stillwell, Kansas reported, Tumors surrounding implanted microchip animal identification devices were noted in two separate chronic toxicity/oncogenicity studies using F344 rats. The tumors occurred at a low incidence rate (approximately 1%), but did result in the early sacrifice of most affected animals, due to tumor size and occasional metastases. No sex-related trends were noted. All tumors occurred during the second year of the studies, were located in the subcutaneous dorsal thoracic area (the site of microchip implantation) and contained embedded microchip devices. All were mesenchymal in origin and consisted of the following types, listed on order of frequency: malignant schwannoma, fibrosarcoma, anaplastic sarcoma, and histiocytic sarcoma. The following diagnostic techniques were employed: light microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and immunohistochemistry. The mechanism of carcinogenicity appeared to be that of foreign body induced tumorigenesis. Additional studies related to cancer tumors at the site of microchip implants have been conduced in China; however, at this time these studies are not available in English. At this time, no long term studies are available covering more than two years. It only seems logical to conclude that if carcinogenic tumors occur within one percent of animals implanted within two years of the implant that the percentage would increase with the passage of time. Additional studies need to be conducted, but dont hold your breath for the manufacturers of microchips to conduct such research and be leery of any such research they may conduct. Even the limited research available clearly indicates that implantation of microchips within an animal is gambling with the animals well being. Copyright © 2006 Freedom.org. All rights reserved.

RE: fjordhorse-digest V2007 #4
This message is from: kate charboneau [EMAIL PROTECTED] I've had the most wonderful two years of my 30+ horse using years since getting to know the new Parelli home study packs. About 10 years ago I saw Linda Pat at an Expo, and had fun with his 7 games; but it didn't really change me. It was fun to play with, and I certainly enjoyed looking at him (young studly back then). Then 2 years ago I found the new Parelli Level 1 2; and WOW has it fundamentally changed my horse life. I suppose it's a combo of many factors in my life all pointing to this being the right time. But all of these questions: what bit?, fetal position when startled, lower back/hips/knees/ankles hurt, rushing at the canter, heavy front end... are all quite neatly addressed in the new Parelli packs. I bought the new Level 1 on ebay, and intended on viewing it reselling it; sort of like a library system. That saved me some bucks, and let me dip my toe in without fully committing to it. Some might say that's tacky, but I wouldn't have laid down the cash otherwise, and now that I'm hooked I do purchase from the Parelli professional who helps me.

Re: snow....or lack thereof
This message is from: Philis B. Anderson [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hey, Mary, Wrong! i.e. no snow down here in northeastern Minnesota either. The conditions over here (about five miles from you.) are good for sleighing!! I took my team out the other day and went on a moonlight sleigh ride through our woods. Yesterday my four-year old granddaughter and I went on a single horse sleigh ride trotting and cantering through our trails in the forest. laughing all the way. We have just enough snow that the going is good. Mary lives on the slope facing Lake Superior where there is less snow right now. Just two years ago there was SO much snow here that I wasn't able to go on even one sleigh ride. What a difference! For January in northeast Minnesota, the lack of snow and the warm temps are very unusual! The horses are shedding and our 21 year old goose thinks it's spring and is nesting. They all will be in for a shock if the temps drop or we have a blizzard. Philis Anderson The FjordHorse List archives can be found at: http://tinyurl.com/rcepw
