NFHR EVALUATION - July 12th and 13th
This message is from: kelly MacDonald [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi Everyone, It's already almost the first of May and everything is finally starting to turn green! The horses are shedding like crazy, and although we've kept everyone in pretty good shape over the winter (thanks to the indoor) we've started some serious summer conditioning. We have a great long road out back of our farm, with lots of hills and fields. Taking the horses for a brisk trot out the road everyday really gets them in shape. It's the most fun when we go over the strategically placed logs, instead of around them ;) As some of you know, we will be hosting the first ever, NFHR Evaluation held in Canada. This will be a very exciting weekend and we are looking forward to it so much. It's going to be a very fun, educational event. There will be a lot of participants who will be presenting their Fjordhorses to the evaluators for the first time. In order to prepare both the people and the horses, we are grateful for a clinic presented by Pat Wolfe on July 11th. This is a great opportunity to work with and learn from one of the most knowledgeable Fjord owners in North America. Pat's experiences are near endless, and trust me, you can learn a great deal from him in a very short time. Antigonish is located approx. 2 hours from Halifax. Our facility will provide stabling, lots of room for trailers, and camping. We are only ten minutes from town, where there are many hotels, motels and restaurants. The evaluation will be a fun event for Fjord owners to get together, learn from each other, and encourage each other. The evaluation process is important for those who are looking to learn the strength and weaknesses of their Fjord, whether it be for breeding purposes or to help plan an appropriate training plan for your horses. I really hope Fjord owners on the East Coast will consider joining us this July. The weekend will be well worth the trip, whether you are from eastern Canada, or eastern USA. Please, if anyone has any questions, do not hesitate to contact me. If you have never participated in an Evaluation before, please do not be intimidated. There will be many participants in the same boat! There are many ways to prepare for the evaluation, and the preparation is half the fun! The performance tests are fun to practice. Jaimie and I have a couple of spaces available for training and conditioning. We also have a number of advanced riders available to help show horses during the evaluation. That's all for now.

NFHR Evaluation - Herndon, VA, 8/16
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Kelly McDonald's e-mail reminded me to mention that there is another East Coast NFHR Evaluation this summer.? I certainly can recommend Antigonish as a wonderful place for an evaluation, but depending where you are located, Virginia may be closer.? We are returning to Frying Pan Park which is about 25 miles from Washington, DC.? This facility offers both indoor and outdoor rings, permanent stabling and great public traffic.? Virginia is one of the horsey areas of the United States and we do draw an audience for horse activities. This year the Virginia Evaluation is scheduled for one day and will include both conformation and performance tests.? Many local owners participated last year, so we are anticipating a lower demand particularly for the conformation tests.? However, anyone who registers for the Virginia evaluation will get to take the tests they need even if we have to continue onto 8/17. Our plan for 8/17 is to hold the first Virginia Fjord Fjestival horse show.? So participants can come to both an evaluation and a show.? Our senior evaluator will be Karen Cabic and she will also be our horse show judge.? I believe?that Pat Wolfe will be the junior evaluator and may be willing to do some judging for us as well.? It should be a fun weekend.? More information on the evaluation and the show will be made available in May.?

RE: powdered psyllium source?
This message is from: Sharon [EMAIL PROTECTED] Robin wrote... What kind of powdered psyllium do you buy? I have never seen it in powder except like metamucil. Also why the senior feed as opposed to some other feed? Hi Robin, O.H.Kruse manufacutres the 20 lb (5 gal bucket). I get it at the feed stores in Norco, CA. The bucket actually reads: Kruse's Perfection Brand - Natural Psyllium Fiber - in powdered form. It kinda looks like Metamucil. Re: mixing it with senior feed... that's just what the surgeons recommended because senior feed is a bit moist to begin with and with a drizzle of oil, the psyllium sticks to it pretty well. But they said any bagged feed was ok. It's ok to mix it with more than 1/2 cup if that helps your horse to eat it. They were adamaent that it cannot get wet with water, just oil, before it's eaten. If you don't get the psyllium to stick to some kind of feed, the horse exhales and it's just dust in their face and up their nose. see ya, Sharon Sand colic routine Hi, I live in Southern California and the surgeons at the Chino Valley Equine Hospital here recommend the following: For 7 consecutive days each month, give 1 cup psyllium mixed well with @1/2 cup senior feed and drizzled with @ 2 teaspoons of canola, corn oil. Feed morning and night for the 7 days. It can also be mixed with other supplements as long as there is no contact with water before feeding. The psyllium must not contact water before eaten because it must swell up in the digestive tract to 'sweep' the digestive tract. ( I mix the 14 servings up at once, sealing each of the 14 servings in a gallon ziplock. Then I just pour it into her bucket and give it at the same time with breakfast and dinner hay.) Use the cheapest powdered psyllium available. No pelleted form. They said it doesn't work. These surgeons do 2-3 colic surgeries daily (impaction, stones, or sand colics) on all kinds of horses (backyard to $100K horses). 14 cups of psyllium is 3 lbs. I buy a 20 lb bucket, for @$60 and it lasts 6 months. good luck, Sharon The FjordHorse List archives can be found at: http://tinyurl.com/rcepw
Selling Molson
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi Nancy, Hope you remember me...you were such a help when I was looking for my Fjord a year and a half ago, and we ran into you last fall at the Cheff ride. I'm sorry to say that although he's a wonderful boy and I've really enjoyed him, my life has taken some strange twists over the past year and I've decided that I need to sell Molson. I have a new job and some health issues, and I simply have no time to ride or work with him. Last summer, one of the kids in our pony club rode him for me and competed him in a few low-level events. I kept hoping I'd be able to put more time into him this year, but it just isn't happening, and he's too nice a horse to waste. (And the board bill is going up and up lately...!) Anyway, I've just decided to sell him and although I know you're pretty much out of the business, I thought I'd check with you to see if you might know someone who could be interested in him. He's a son of Modellen, a brown dun, close to 9 years old, totally sound, healthy (except for being a little tubby after a winter with no work!), and I think he has a lot of potential. He's quite sane and kind, with excellent ground manners, though he tends to get rather tightly bonded with his pasture-mates (currently our pony, Beau) and this makes it hard to keep his attention sometimes when he's ridden on his own. He did a fair bit of dressage before I bought him, and he's very good as a trail horse. He's also jumped 2+ feet (very neat jumper, despite being a rather stocky Fjord) and has done pretty well at lower level cross country, too. I haven't tried driving him, but I think he might have potential there as well - he's a very smart horse, but rarely takes advantage of it... He's still a little green (needs more hours under saddle), so I wouldn't recommend him for a beginner, but for someone with some knowledge (or a young person working with a trainer), he could be a very good, willing horse. Anyway, just checking to see if there is any interest locally before I start advertising more broadly. I paid about $8000 for him, but I'm flexible on the price - I know I probably paid too much in the first place! Mainly looking for a good home where he'll be used and loved. Hope things are well with you and your horses. Let me know if you hear of anyone who might be interested... He's a good looking guy, too. (He won 'cutest pony' at our Eventing Rally last fall!) I can send pictures if anyone wants to see them. Thanks! Cindy Hoorn The FjordHorse List archives can be found at: http://tinyurl.com/rcepw
