Re: bomb proof fjords
This message is from: "ruth bushnell" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Several years ago when I was doing a lot of mountain pack trips [In Alaska] I knew a lot of packers that would not have a mare in their pack string. Jerry Friz,>>> THERE IS a practical and valid purpose for that principle. If a mare is approached from close behind, she may go into defense mode against another horse's possible notion of mounting, and reactively kick backwards. The same is true of single-file trail riding, leave a comfortable 2-horse length distance behind a mare. Keeping Fjord mares and geldings mixed together has never ONCE been a problem here and I can't imagine that it could be, but maybe Fjords are the exception to the rule. Fjords are incredibly wonderful for daily management, never menacing and sweetly compliant. Just don't dally at the top of the "pecking order" food chain in an open area. =)) Ruthie, nw mt US Bushwhacker Fjords [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.frontiernet.net/~fjords Gene and Ruthie Bushnell 406-295-5050 The FjordHorse List archives can be found at: http://tinyurl.com/rcepw
Re: Midwest Fjord Club Auction
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi Guys! In addition to the Scottish shawl, I've come up with an Icelandic blanket. It's in Icelandic sheep colors (mostly shades of cream and brown) and has pictures of Viking long ships and outlines of Iceland as its pattern. I figure that if you start each of these items at $20 or $25, you ought to get an opening bid for sure...after that, who knows? I may be dragging some liquor along too...we'll see. Barring the great blizzard of '07, these items will be arriving with me on Thursday night. Just let me know where and when you'd like them delivered. See you then!

illness demeanor & training too
This message is from: "Pat Holland" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I mentioned about the illness issue in Fjords and sometimes that demeanor dovetails with training too - For example - a bad fitting saddle on another breed might cause them to buck or create bolting issues - where in a Fjord - you might just get less "willingness" - to say, canter, or relax, or extend a trot. They still TRYeven when things don't feel right - but they tend to give less - thus causing the term "stubbornness" to find its way into the Fjord terminology and discription. They aren't stubborn - they are just saying "it hurtsbut I'll give you all I can." The same with bits - Fjords tend to get heavy if it's the wrong bit and lean into it - where in other breeds they throw their heads and you feel like your riding without steering - with some Fjords it just feels like your trying to steer a semi loaded with iron ore. A very good trainer once told me that the Fjords make you a better trainer - and I think it boils down to the little-quiet things they tell us - so you have to be more "tuned in". Just a thought.
