Re: Cost of Health and Coggins
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] This has been a rather interesting topic. Does anyone on this list live in Washington and show at any shows or events other than this first Moses lake show? I show in A circuit paint, pinto, Arabian, and Happ,s ADS events and not one has ever asked or required a horse from in the state to have coggins or health certificates. That is why I find it such an oddity for the Fjord show to have this requirement. It seems that everyone responding is from another state. We must not be at as high a risk as other states or I am sure that it would be implemented in all these shows. Yes it is an added expense. And people should not be discouraged from Showing unless they have a ton of money. Till you have walked a mile in anothers shoes only means you have not experienced enough of life yet.

Re: Cost of Health and Coggins
This message is from: jerrell friz [EMAIL PROTECTED] I'll call a couple of vets tomorrow. But $26 dollars sounds about right for just the coggins. Health certificates will run more, depending upon which one you get. The international one is the most expensive. But, why have the vet. come to your place? My horses look forward to riding in the trailer. I haul them to the vet., not so much to save, bucks, but to keep everybody used to the trailer. Never, know when an emergency, might come up, in the middle of the night, and you will have to move fast. I know a lot of people who show, and travel without papers, if you get caught, it will cost you big time. I was in route from Florida, to Idaho several years ago, was flagged down on the Utah/Idaho border on a Sunday. I had 5 horses, all with brand certificates, and the proper health paper work. They let me pass through, only because I had not crossed into Ar., where there was an outbreak of something.

Re: Our Fjord, Joline, running the cones at the Happs CDE in June
This message is from: jerrell friz [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi Fred, I did look at your mare going through the cones course at Happs. [ The scores have been up for a few days now] She is a good looking mare, good movement.. What an improvement from Libby. Looks like a little work might have paid off. The harness looks adjusted correctly. The only thing that I see, and this was several times, the head going up, and her back then inverting. This is caused by asking for a turn when she is on the wrong hind foot. [ like dancing with your wife, and you step on her foot] Since she is such a forgiving mare, she just jerks, and says, oh well'. Some, horse would bolt, or start bucking, and kicking.

This message is from: Lois Anne Starr [EMAIL PROTECTED] *Thank you Lisa!* ** *...for the very informative (layman) article on Coggins. Although we don't show (but hope to a teensy bit in the future), I would certainly be willing to have a current test done on our guys, even if it was in-state. Fortunately, our place is so dry, we hardly have flies, much less horseflies (haven't seen ANY for more than 10 years!), so I know we are pretty safe at this time (knock wood). If we showed and traveled as much as many on the list seem to do, I'd certainly do what I could to assure my and my fellow horseman's peace of mind. Not exactly health insurance, but I bet the monthly breakdown of cost for a Coggins is a heck of alot cheaper than some of the horse insurance premiums. Like Jerry said, if you want to play, you have to pay.* I am trying to figure out how ( besides a small cost compared to the consequences ) not having a coggins test or showing in venues that require them is a BAD thing. I think that the NFHR rule helping protect our Fjords is a good thing. Here is an easy to read article about why the coggins test is required in most states.

Re: 24th Annual New England Fjord Show
This message is from: william M. Coli [EMAIL PROTECTED] I'm sure I speak for all the members of the Northeast Fjord Horse Assoc. (NFHA) when I say we share everyone's distress both at Karen Cabic's personal loss and at the unfortunate cancellation of the Finger Lakes Show. We all can relate to the difficulty of losing a parent and to the amount of hard work that goes in to putting on a show. For many years, the Finger Lakes Show Committee has put on a well run and fun show that NFHA has helped support through member participation, and by use of our blanket insurance coverage for their event. In turn, many NY Fjord owners have participated in the NFHA annual show, formerly held for many years at the Green Mountain Horse Association (GMHA) facility in Woodstock, VT until moving to a site in Spencer Mass, the past two seasons. This year, the show venue has been relocated back to Vermont, at the lovely Winchester Stables Equine Center in Newfane, VT. Winchester Stables is about 12 miles north of Brattleboro, VT (southern Vermont), just off VT Route 30. Winchester Stables is under very helpful and cooperative new management, and the show promises to be a lot of fun. Entrants can arrive any time the week of the show, and stalls will be available in the WS barn. Friday evening will be devoted to gymkhana games, and those will be followed by a FREE cookout and wine/cheese reception hosted by NFHA. Most ridden classes (including dressage) will be on Saturday, followed by an excellent buffet banquet ($20 per person) with cash bar at the nearby Brattleboro Country club. Sunday will be focused on driven classes, also including driven dressage.

Livestock guard dog for sale
This message is from: Tamarack Lamb Wool [EMAIL PROTECTED] With great regrets I have decided to part with Glori, a 2 1/2 year old spayed female Polish Tatra. She is a very large dog, white long hair, very attractive. Glori was raised to be a sheep guarding dog, but has flunked sheep 201 as she is inclined to play with newborn lambs and will not give it up. She has also made it clear, she would much rather be a companion to people and horses than sheep. I mention her here, because as it turns out, her favorite animals on the farm are the horses. I imported Glori as a pup from Poland. The seller never supplied the registration papers. Glori is very sweet with people, basically a very quiet dog unless there is an intruder. She is good about staying home. She did keep her sheep safe from wolves and was witnessed doing so on two occaisions. I would like to see Glori go to a farm with a minimum of 20 acres to call her own, with owners who would give her the kind of attention she would like to get. I just had her spayed and utd on shots etc. She does test possitive to Lyme disease (very common here) but is not ill or symptomatic (some dogs never get sick from lyme disease). I will discuss treatment options with her new owner. Glori is not recommended to farms with small livestock (i.e. baby goats, lambs, or poultry). I paid $1000 plus shipping for Glori as a pup from Poland. I would like to get $300 for her recent vet work, but a really good home is most important.

Re: Cost of Health and Coggins
This message is from: Douglas Knutsen [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi Bonnie, We so show at other, all breed, shows and expos in Washington State, and no, none of them that we have been to requires a Coggins or Health Certificate. I realize I forgot to post an update on our experience at the Skagit Rare Breeds Expo. It was very well-run for a first-year show. Kudos to Patty Kelley, the manager. Not only was she organized, she was very friendly and eager to help whenever asked. Aside from seeing the cool horses from the different breeds, a highlight of the weekend was the Vaulting demo. Peggy Enge's daughter, Mackenzie, performed as part of this group. Way to go girl! Erlend, of course, got the usual response to Fjordhorses - every time he was out of his stall he got mobbed. Unfortunately, they allways say, He's so Cute! Like any stallion, Erlend finds this annoying, and much prefers Awesome! My talented friend and neighbor, Ellie Keen, showed off his gaits to Greig, after the announcer finished the script about the breed and about this particular Fjord. We also celebrated His Majesty's 20th birthday that weekend - quietly - we didn't want him to learn how old he is. He still thinks he's 10. Erlend was kicked earlier this season by a mare who didn't properly appreciate the honor of being bred to Mr Spectactular. Although the wound went to the bone, it did not cause any chipping, and was just below the tendons and ligaments that attach to the stifle. The vet several times called him a very lucky horse. Erlend was still a little stiff at the Expo, so we arranged for his first-ever acupuncture treatment from the attending Vet, Dr Hannah Evergreen. It was very interesting and very helpful. He almost dozed off - a typical response, I learned. I expect to use it more. Finally, it was fun to visit with other local Fjord owners, most of whom we had not met. I especially enjoyed talking with Krist Martinsen and his wife. Well, it's sunny today, and Mr Bigshot is enjoying his conjugal visit by Judy Phelp's Zaria, a lovely young lady. You can really see her sire, Flotren, in her. Rannita, his dam, was also imported from Norway by Julie Will and Darryl Wolford. I can't wait to see this baby!

Foot in Mouth Disease outbreak
This message is from: Karen McCarthy [EMAIL PROTECTED] Its confirmed: I recently tested positive for Foot in Mouth. One of the prominent symptoms is not thinking through ones written or spoken thoughts. Another symptom specific to FIM as it relates to emails only, is sending out emails intended for individuals, to the whole list. Tough disease, but thanks to the response from this List, the disease was pretty easy to diagnose, and with a minimum of negative FB, I should be back on course in due time, w/ the correct paperwork in hand. With the above declaration aside, I really didn't mean to convey that Coggins/health papers were a *total* waste of time in general, but in the specific case of traveling short distances to a show, in the same or very similar geographical (bio) region, I think it is a bit overcautious. Just fyi so you all don't think I am a total slacker, I do pull papers for all out of state shows, selling horses and trips to breed mares etc. I have current brand inspections (Nevada) on all of my horses, which I believe Oregon will recognize, unless of course the horse is sold, then new papers are issued. Most recently I pulled health/Coggins on all 11 horses that we moved to Oregon in Janruary. (The Coggins just expired July 20th). In addition to the brand inspections on about 1/2 the horses, I won't tell you what all that cost, but suffice to say it could have been a nice new single harness or 3-4 tons of good hay. Not once in our journey did we have to produce the paperwork. Since the big move, only 3 of these horses have gone more than 20 miles off of the ranch. We have no neighboring horses near enough to touch noses, and hardly any flies (really! My 'sweet Itch' poster-mare, Idelle is loving life up here. No flysheet or Prednisone! Flyspray 1x week at that.) To chime in on the local costs of this paperwork, I just checked w/ my vet this morning on current pricing and here is the breakdown, and it ain't EVEN close to $26...Ranch call: $45, Coggins: $45 (one cert. covers both mares), vet Cert. $45 ea.,= $180.00. Add in the cost of (1) microchip $25, insertion by vet + filling out NFHR vet cert. $65, Eval fees (1 Perf. test, 1 Conf. test.) $276, and the whole enchilada to bring 2 mares to the Eval, (excluding show fees/stabling Thurs.Sat. + all fuel) is: $546.00 So, I'll stop whining about the costs of a measly Coggins/health cert, but the NEXT time some prospective (tire-kicker) buyer complains about the cost of my horses, I'll be tempted to whip out an Excel spreadsheet so they can see the BIG picture of what it actually costs to produce good horses. All in all, show fees are but a few oats in the bucket... Now I'll go back to getting the mares ready and try to keep out of trouble...Hopefully I'll see (some of) you at Moses Lake!

I am supposed to have a brand inspection, Coggins and health if I travel outside the state of Idaho or want to come back into it. If I am caught going through a check station without it, the consequences are not pleasant or cheap. I used to do all the coggins testing on this side of the state, it is cheap, as accurate as any test can be and there are positives even in Idaho and Washington . This disease is not treatable, will result in the euthanization, or quarantine for life of your horse if it catches it and can be transmitted by biting insects including flies and possibly close association. The Northwestern States have been relatively free of it, unlike some of the southern states, but in years like this where the heat is unusual, we will most likely see higher activity of diseases which are insect born.Because horses are not regulated as food animals, when states do have positives, they are not well publicized, so you may not even know you are in an area where there have been positives. The test is good for 6 months, although your health certs may have shorter time limits Why risk it? I might not want to have my horses stabled next to someones horses who have not been tested. Kathy in Southern Idaho. This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] As stated why is this a requirement for Moses Lake? The rest of the horse shows in Washington State do not require it. If it were an issue for this state it would be mandated and regulated by the State. That is why it is there for interstate travelers. As fjord shows and activities grow instate this would become an even bigger hassle as coggins and health certificates must have the place and date that you are going and are only valid for a certain time. Vets are expensive in Western Washington farm calls range from 65-100$ with health certificates and coggins now the expense is between 220-250$ per horse. That adds up . I would certainly support this for out of state or out of country horses.

RE: Health and Coggins in WA
This message is from: fjords [EMAIL PROTECTED] My vet charges $15 per horse plus mileage for a vet call. I consider this very reasonable. Coggins is $30 per horse. Each year in April I have the vet out to check our 3 horses teeth (float if needed), do 6 month Health Certificates (covering WA, OR, ID MT), Coggins, Nasal Strangles and while he's here I have him give them WNV and 5-way. By doing this I am cleared to go anywhere I want to go in the Pacific Northwest and don't have to worry about getting documents in a hurry. Our saddle club holds two open shows each year. It is up to the show committee to determine whether they want to require health certificate/Coggins for entrants. In the past the WSH required it for WSH shows. It is not required by WSH currently. For me, personally, it is peace of mind to have my horses Coggins tested. I also consider it part of being a responsible owner. I give all of my own injections, worming, etc. throughout the year but feel it's important to have my vet go over them once a year.
