New Arrivals
This message is from: "Michele Noonan" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> After what seems like weeks of foal watch, our mare Two Rivers Pen Jente (Penny) gave birth to a very long legged giraffe looking creature at 1 am. She had quite the crowd of onlookers watching her and did very well considering she was a maiden mare at 16 years old. I'm sure that would be equivalent to me at 40+ years having my first child. I would not be too happy. So announcing.. our dark brown stud colt (Sire is Anvil's Morgen) His name is (drum roll please) WHR Melman (Mel for short) Now that Penny prolonged her foaling it is now the due date of the next mare Britta 1. No rest for the wicked I mean weary LOL PS Our new mare Norway View Gina arrived safely from Wisconsin the night before last. We love her! She is so beautiful. All my neighbors have been asking about her color, they have never seen a gray fjord at my place. Soon they will see two, when OFI Skogen arrives in a few weeks.

Prevention of sand colic?
This message is from: Robin Churchill <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Do any of you who live in dry places have specific regimens that you follow or that your vet has advised for prevention of sand colic? In southwest Fl, winter is our dry season but we have had two summers with much less rainfall than usual and my pastures are now like the beach. I feed lots of hay frequently to keep the horses from foraging in the dirt/sand and try to feed out of bins which they promptly empty onto the ground and also feed psyllium one week a month. I haven't had any problems but I am concerned. Has anyone used this Assure System that they are advertising? How about mineral oil? I am going to ask my vet as well. Apparently there is a paper by someone at University of Florida that showed that the most important preventative is feeding adequate hay but I have not seen it.

Re: Mare's for sale

We purchased them at one year and have done some work with them. Leading and just general being around them. They are very healthy and ready to learn all there is to know about riding and pulling a wagon. Due to heart disease I am not able to train them like they should be trained and in general spend the kind of time with them that they need. We would very much like to find a home for them. We are not as interested in what price as what kind of home we can find for them. So any offer to buy them must come from someone that can provide a good home. And keep them together. Except for the DNA test they are registered. Until they are DNA Typed they are not really registered. Do they have Registration numbers & do you have the Registration Certificates? Mike We purchased them from a well known breeder. We have all the papers and can provide the breeders name for any verification is needed. Again we are looking for a good home for these girls. They deserve the best. I can be reached at 509-744-0607 during the day leave a message. I am home in the evenings after 6:00 pm. Thanks Dave Fix Spokane WA.

Evaluations, Promotion, and More
This message is from: kelly MacDonald <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hi Everyone, I have been crazy busy the last month or so. I spent three weeks in Ontario, preparing for and completing my Coach 1 Evaluation. The program, run though Equine Canada, is quite intense. I worked hard at it, and thank god Jaimie and my mother were here running things. They did a great job, and I wouldn't have been able to go without their support. It was very interesting spending so much time at someone else's barn, seeing how others do things. I learned SO much, and had a great time. The best part of the trip however, was picking up Sonny and driving back to Nova Scotia with my father. We had a full trailer, two mares and Sonny. All three horses trailered like dreams, and were real troopers though our 22 hour drive. Prydarson (Sonny) has settled in beautifully. He's SUCH a nice horse, everything still feels a little surreal. I've been riding him everyday, and he's going really well under saddle. We'll start breeding in a few weeks, after he's had time to completely settle in. Sonny is now available both live cover and through AI. Contact me personally for more information on breeding to Prydarson. Yesterday I had an interesting phone call from the Can-Am All Breeds Equine Emporium. They invited me to participate in numerous breed demos with my Fjords, and even though it's short notice (it's only a month away), I agreed to participate. It should be a really great weekend. We're hoping to take four Fjords from my place, and we'll be joined by another Fjord owned my a friend of mine. We have a booth to set up to promote the breed.I'm looking for any printed material I can get, along with video's, posters, anything! Here is a link to the website promoting the show - http://www.canamequine.ca/. The evaluation we'll be hosting in July is also going to come quick. Anyone on the east coast should contact me as soon as possible regarding entry. We are SO excited this is taking place, and I'm working really hard to make it a success. I'll write more about it later, but please, anyone even thinking about attending - contact me! It's going to be a really fun, educational weekend. Pat Wolfe will be conducting an evaluation clinic prior to the evaluation - this alone is a great reason to make the trip! Finally - I'm looking for a well trained Fjord gelding for...my mother! She's ALWAYS been a hard-core quarter horse woman but finally, she has been converted. She rides western, and reay likes grey Fjords. If anyone knows of a well-trained, bombproof gelding for sale, let me know. She mostly wants to trail ride, have fun with her own horse, and possibly travel to some small schooling shows. Thanks for reading, and watch for more updates coming soon regarding the evaluation.
