Awesome Surprise
This message is from: kelly MacDonald <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hi Everyone, I was just checking my Facebook group for my facility and noticed that a student of mine had added a video. I followed the link, and realized that it's a slideshow of pictures. The pictures are all either my students or horses that I own or have/had in training (except one, the one of me and a bunch of Fjords at the Bosomworth's farm in ON). It's not ALL Fjords, but there are lots of Fjord pictures. I'd just like to share. I was really surprised and so happy to watch it - it made my day. Here is the link to the video on youtube - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MAdNKazj5As Thanks!

Re: heights & weight
This message is from: "jen frame" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Good point Sarah: I also ride 15.2 hand Tennessee Walking horses, and they feel very "right" (although they are hard for me to get on while trail riding!) And my 13.2 Fjord feels "right" too--just different.

Parelli Assessment
This message is from: "Steve Sessoms" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I passed Parelli Level 1 Assessment with Anjee (just barely) the weekend before last. We did great for most of the ground work. Our weak point was the riding part. She is still fidgeting on the mounting (she was doing so good, I thought we were past that problem) and her saddle slipped twice - she nearly had me in tears - and she is a bit snotty when I ask her to speed up, she squeals and gives me a baby buck almost every time I ask her to trot in the ring. We have lots of good solid trail experience, but we have done very little ring work, and she clearly doesn't see the point in running around a boring ring with a human on her back! My on line send was a bit weak too, she kept stopping to play with the barrels instead of leaping over them. =( I don't think the lady would have passed me if she hadn't seen me working very nicely, almost flawlessly, with her for an hour and a half before the assessment started. And we did, eventually, do all we were asked to do properly. If anyone has any pointers on our weak spots, please, enlighten me! She is very bold and left brained; I, on the other hand, am pretty soft natured. I do try hard to stand/walk/act/ride boldly when I handle her, but she sees right through me at all the wrong moments! Oh, and my wonderful, fancy little boy, Arlo, just got home from his first months training! The trainer says he is both lighter than my other Fjordies and has more left brained boldness all at the same time! And I thought Anjee was a challenge! But he did wonderful. He loads with a point of the finger from the ground, he carries a cinched up bareback pad, he does all 7 games with style, he ground ties (until his baby brain tells him he might find some pellets in that bucket over there), he lifts all fours with no fuss, he walks on lead in the correct position at handlers speed, he turns to the handler at all the right moments, he is so polite! =) I am so proud of Arlo! When Anjee and Arlo were loaded the horse trailer at the trainer's place, I realized his butt is as tall as hers already - she is just under 13.3hh at four and a half years and he is a year and a half old now. It was already dark when I got them home. We turned them loose and I ran out to hear the sounds of their hooves pounding the ground all the way up to the back pasture. Then I stood there in the dark listening to the sounds of their mother, Shaggy, telling them, "Welcome home. I love you both. You two behave. I'm still your mother and don't you forget it for a second!" Meredith Sessoms Moulton AL ~ Dorina (Holunder x Uvonia by Oostman) ~ ~ NFR Aagot (Leik x F.V.

Re: heights & weights
This message is from: Sarah Clarke <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> My smallest is about 13.2, about 800#; largest 14.1, about 950#. I am 5' 7" and suffering from some "middle age spread". I think I look "right" on all of them, and this has been confirmed by observers at shows and lessons. They feel right too, a good place to put my leg and no feeling that they are struggling to carry my weight or height. I also ride a 16 hand warmblood, so it's not that I have just gotten "used" to the feeling of riding a smaller horse.

Dog with staph infection
This message is from: Linda Lehnert <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> .Lois, maybe you should take your dog to the vet school since he is having such a problem. They have all the specialists there, as well as complete facilities (lab, x-ray etc). I don't know where it is in NC, but I'm sure your vet can tell you and can call and get an appointment for you. Good luck with finding the cause and getting it cured.
