Hi,

I use Mountain Horse Rimfrost boots, they are wonderfully warm, have toe
protectors built in and the soles are patterned to fit stirrup treads
securely. Not the cheapest on the market but well worth the outlay.

Hi all,

I have a
question for all of you that ride in the winter.  I had a pair of 
winter
riding boots that I wore for years and wore them out so now I'm 
looking to
buy new boots and would buy the same ones that I had but they're 
not being
made anymore.  What brands do you all recommend, what are the pros 
and cons
of the ones that you all have?


Thanks for your help and info,

Ariat Terrains - not particularly for winter, but they are my absolute  
favorite all-around boots.  I wear them for riding, working around the  barn,

I totally agree!  I have worn out a pair and need to shop for  
another!  Do be careful of sizing, and try them before you buy.  I've  
tried a few of the same sizes on and they've varied quite a bit.  But  
they're wonderful!

Carol's calendar

2008-11-07 Thread safreivald
This message is from: safreivald [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I have to second the note below--it is a LOVELY calendar.  It is also
available from Martie Bolinski through Twin Oaks Graphics  [EMAIL PROTECTED]
and if you are thinking of some really nice Fjord or other horse related gifts
in addition to the calendar, check out Martie's site!  She does beautiful
work.  I've ordered the thank you notes for the sponsor/contributors to the
Virginia Draft Horse and Mule Association's Old Dominion show for the past two
year from her and have gotten many rave reviews of the work she does.  My boss
at PERI in Arlington, Margaret Bogie of Fjord fame, has a framed water color
of her stallion, Blitzen, in her office.  Beautiful.  Water color is such a
difficult and unforgiving medium, I am always in awe of Martie's talent.  And
that doesn't even talk about her stained glass . . .

Hello fellow Fjord lovers--

As the holidays approach and we are all looking for great and affordable
Fjord-related gifts, whether for Secret Santa or otherwise, I wanted to
remind everyone how wonderful this coming year's Fjord Calender is.  Carol
Tacey does such a great job with it--it is really quite beautiful, and such
high quality.  I have absolutely no stake in the calendar; I just wanted to
let people know how nice I think it is and I would like to see it every
year!  If you want to order some and see the photographs for the 2009
calender, you can see them at http://www.painteasy.com or contact Carol at
401-789-2062.

Happy Fjording!

Elisa Harvey

rain scald

2008-11-07 Thread yvonne
This message is from: yvonne [EMAIL PROTECTED]

This message from Yvonne Olson [EMAIL PROTECTED] in Courtenay, B.C.
Rain scald is very common here where the horses love to stand in our rain
soaked environment.  Because we do not blanket, it does not spread badly or
cause much balding.
Because it is a fungus, I mix water with a little head and shoulders shampoo,
and quite a few drops of pure patchouli oil which is a natural antifungal.
Mixed in a squirt bottle (Honey, shampoo bottle or any bottle with a small
sqeeze applicator), it is easy to squeeze a little on and rub in the affected
areas. Personally I love the scent, and so the horses smell pretty .  I do not
rinse it off, the rain must eventually, and it does seem to keep it from
getting worse.
I have used this mix for years, and it works.
P.s.  Two of my girls and I just returned from a Steve Rother Clinic, where we
worked on softness, and balancing our horses amoung many other exercises, it
was the most action packed and fun time with the horses ever.  Steve and his
wife were lovely, and the clinic was GREAT.  Love Eve(YVONNE)

I like the Ariat Terrains for summer and the Ariat Terrain H2O waterproof and
insulated for winter. Right now Crazy Horse tack has a sale and free shipping:
That is where I buy all my Ariats.  The Terrain H2O insulated boot is great
for Alaskan winter temps (I don't ride in the -0 temps.)  Crazy Horse has them
for both men and women. Crazy Horse tack:  www.equestrian-tack.com   for

Re: Winter riding boots

2008-11-07 Thread shawna smith

This message is from: shawna smith [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I have a pair of Mountain Horse lace-up boots that are waterproof, 
well-insulated and VERY warm. Not so comfortable for walking or doing chores 
in as they are kind of clunky. It says metal shank on the bottom, might 
be why they seem cumbersome to me.  Also have a pair of Ariat lace-ups, with 
gore-tex for waterproofing and are insulated, these are most comfortable. 
Lastly I have a pair of mens Ariat cowboy boots that are waterproof but not 
insulated. Because they are big, I wear warm thick socks and this 
combination has become my favorite for cold weather rides. Quick and easy to 
clean-up in our wet, muddy climate too.  If I weren't trying to save the 
Ariat lace-ups for more public horse events, I'm sure I'd wear them more. 
Happy Trails, Shawna in OR

I am curious to know if anyone on the list lives in the north central area
of Wisconsin.  What would you say are the pros and cons of living there?
Are wild animals (bears, wolves, others?) a problem with having horses?
