RE: early winter coats
This message is from: "kelly MacDonald" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> It must be, especially since today was 30*C. My fjord hasn't so much started a winter coat, as much as shedding his summer coat like crazy. The other two Fjords here have a slightly thicker coat. All the Fjords are on 24/7 turnout, which I think encourages the shedding/winter coat.

Re: Clippers recommendation?
This message is from: Robin Churchill <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I have a large and small pair from Premier 1 the fence/clipper/sheep supply company and I think they do a good job. They sharpen the blades for really cheap and get them back to you fast. They have good customer service. Mine get a lot of wear since I usually have to clip Ooruk every 4-6 weeks from September to March. The first full year he was here it was August to June so it is getting less as his body is realizing he is not in Nova Scotia any longer. Ulyssa usually gets by with 3 times a winter and Patrick twice but that is a lot of clipping.

Yes, that is the truth of it. Same thing with starting to shed in January/February - it has nothing to do with an early spring or hot summer. It's a response to the lengthening of the daylight hours.

early winter coats
This message is from: "Claudia" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I have always been told that horses coat up for winter in response to the shorter days, not anything to do with present temperaturethat fewer hours of daylight results in beginning of winter coats.

Show Venues - northwest & Coats
This message is from: Emily Wigley <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> It's exciting to learn of horse parks all over the world, and this is just a public plug and reminder to all those with a horse park in their neck of the woods to be supportive of it. If you live in Washington state, please take note of the Washington State Horse Park as it develops. http://www.washingtonstatehorsepark.org/ It's exciting to think what it will be like when there is a full facility for everyone to use for shows, vacations, etc! The WaStHP is in the middle of the state, with great access from all points. The three fjords here are all different in their coat growth this season! They're all shedding their summer coats like crazy, and the mare, Biscuit is growing a coat like a woolly mammoth, while the young gelding is growing thickness and the other gelding is somewhere in between. The days feel suddenly shorter and there is a lovely crispness in the air!

Established Fjord Horse show in the middle
This message is from: Kimberly Kinney <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Good morning List. For my own showing purposes and scheduling, I contacted Kate Beardsley who is the President of the Oregon Gold Open Horse Show in Redmond Oregon. The "show in the middle" thread started and I mentioned it to her. I asked for something I could post to the list and she sent the following information. Sounds like an awesome opportunity for us in the NW! Hope to see you there. Very Respectfully, Kimberly Kate's Post: Hey Fjord lovers! I'd like to remind you all the 2008 Oregon Gold Open Horse Show featuring haflingers and fjords (as always!) is scheduled for May 10 & 11, 2008. Every year, our show board strives to offer a fun show that allows horse owners of all types to showcase their horses at all levels. We maintain a flexible class list to accommodate our competitors' preferences. We've developed a nice group of supporters and give many awards for a variety of reasons. We've got a full day of pleasure riding and usually include some specialty classes such as trail, dressage, pattern riding, and reining. And we've got a full day of driving which includes a cones course and we debuted Oregon's first Driving Darby in 2007. While our show board remains committed to keeping this an open show that focuses on haflingers and fjord, we are also open to offering classes to showcase other novelty breeds. While I personally want you all to consider coming to Oregon Gold because you believe you'll have fun there, I will tell you that if we do not see an improvement in fjord participation, we may need to consider cutting the fjord classes. This is not something we want to do, but offering a wide variety of fjord classes is expensive and we have not has enough participation to justify the expense. We are very open to feedback in all forms! If YOU have any ideas that would make Oregon Gold more attractive to you, please do let us know. We are open to brainstorming any new ideas. And, by the way, we encourage breed associations to have their quarterly, annual, or general meetings on site during Oregon Gold. If you have any questions about Oregon Gold, you are encouraged to contact me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] . You may also contact our show board secretary, Catherine Stout, at [EMAIL PROTECTED] . I hope I see a lot of you at Oregon Gold 2008! Party time! Kate Kate Beardsley President, Oregon Gold Horse Show (541)330-8943 "We are what we repeatedly do."
