Re: Henry does not Qualify for Grand Prix Jump Off
This message is from: katesei...@aol.com Heather - thank goodness Henry is okay!! Are you sure someone did not drop a carrot on the other side of the gate? That's about the only thing I can think of that might inspire those shenanigans. Keep an eye on him. Joe pulled a similar stunt getting his front end up and over a 4+ foot fence, and keeping his back legs on the other. No visible damage, but he was pretty badly out of alignment and the chiropractor did wonders. Kate **Who's never won? Biggest Grammy Award surprises of all time on AOL Music.

Re: knee surgery
This message is from: Genie Dethloff Hi Laurie, I wish you the best outcome from surgery - I hope it is a great success. I'm glad you searched for a new surgeon. I had a similar experience with a surgeon that did knee surgery on me that was not supportive when I tried to return to riding - said all I could do for exercise in my life was swim! Now in CT I have orthopedic doctors that take my riding very seriously and help me to ride pain free! I envision you walking knee-to-knee (like hand-in-hand) with your new "friend" through the woods and to the horse field. I'm glad you found a like minded (and bodied) man to share time with. -- Genie Dethloff and Pjoska Killingworth, Connecticut Important FjordHorse List Links: Subscription Management: http://tinyurl.com/5msa7e FH-L Archives: http://tinyurl.com/rcepw Classified Ads: http://tinyurl.com/5b5g2f

Henry does not Qualify for Grand Prix Jump Off
This message is from: Heather Baskey Yesterday, my worst nightmare dialed in - when I received a phone call from the Barn Manager telling me that "Henry is fine ... but ..." and proceeded to tell me that he decided to jump the gate ... and "missed the target". We have NO idea why he decided to take it upon himself to make such a grand exit from his paddock, but suffice to say - it must have been something that REALLY unnerved him (or his play with the other horses got too much in the wrong area) ... who knows, but all I do know is that he wouldn't have THAT much motivation to attempt and jump 4 + feet. All I can say is that the calm, rational, nature of the Fjord is such a huge blessing. Henry hung himself on the gate, with back legs going through the slots of the gate and he waited (between 10-15 minutes the barn owners figure) until someone noticed him. It then took 4 people (he has a bit of winter fat!) to remove him from the gate - as they slid and pushed him off. Henry made it out unscathed (no cuts, bruises, swelling, etc.etc.etc.) - but did show signs of muscle soreness from this Grand Prix debut ... He was fine later that night (walked out just fine - absolutely no signs of distress, lameness, etc.etc.etc.). The barn owner was flabbergasted and said she has never seen anything like that in the 30 years that she has been running a stable. AND - what surprised her the most was Henry's attitude, of "already then, just get me off this thing" and he didn't bat an eyelash as 4 people worked him off the gate. She continued to say that "if it were one of her thoroughbreds, it would have ended in disastrous results". Anyhow - I just wanted to say - that the calm nature of the Fjord (except for the part of WHY he decided to try out for Grand Prix) shone through yesterday.

harness for sale
This message is from: Linda Lottie Hello Everyone; After serious thought I have accepted that I am unable to pursue learning to drive a team of fjords. With three wonderful fjords that would be happy to preform, alas, it is not them, but me who must retreat. The whole process is just too much for me and driving a team alone is just plain foolish, as a beginner. So, I am offering my beautiful Smucker's Team Work Harness for sale. It has been used once to fit the fjords and once to ground drive. That's it! I have one collar.borrowed another . collar included. Beautiful synthetic material - black with silver accents. Bridles include traditional driving bits. If interested.please contact me via email, privately. I can deliver to the Midwest meeting in March or to the MN Horse Expo in April. It's heavy and a buggar to ship. horselo...@hotmail.com Thank you..Linda in WI Linda Baker Lottie Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless. -Mother Teresa www.heartsandhoovesforever.blogspot.com Important FjordHorse List Links: Subscription Management: http://tinyurl.com/5msa7e FH-L Archives: http://tinyurl.com/rcepw Classified Ads: http://tinyurl.com/5b5g2f
Easy Entry Cart For Sale-WI
This message is from: "Dave and Patti Walter" I have a VERY nice , Brand New, hardly used, Easy Entry Cart for sale. I'm in East Central WI, 30 miles south of Green Bay. This cart was made by Steve Waddell, Chamberlain Hills Carriage Works, Buffalo, MN . It's all black in color, padded seat, adjustable shafts that are in the "french" style I believe you say. Shafts come off for transporting or storing, they are adjustable in length as well. It's a very balanced cart, great for training or everyday pleasure driving. I do have pictures if anyone is interested. I would say it would fit a 13.2-14.1hh Fjord nicely. $1500.00 OBO I can bring it to the MWFHC's Winter Meeting in MN in March. Was only used about 6 times. Last I heard Steve is retired and you can no longer get one of his carts and they are nice.

knee surgery
This message is from: crystal...@aol.com day before yesterday i finally an arthroscopic procedure on the knee i had replaced three years ago. as i have mentioned, the knee has worked fine, however, has been very painful since the surgery. i used a different surgeon than the one who did the initial surgery, and didn't seem to think he could do any more and basically said sorry, i guess you are part of the 2% that it doesn't work for. thanks for nothing, doc. it is too soon to tell yet if we solved the problem, but i know that some shaving was done on the kneecap in there area where i have thought since the beginning that something was pinching inside. obviously, i have some minor pain from the surgery, but it's been controllable with advil, and walking has not been a problem. i brought my cane with me to the surgical center, but i find i don't need it. so, here's hoping..perhaps finally a pain free ride. and on a little side note, i have been seeing someone, and he also has had the same knee replaced, only his is more recent. we share that, and he also loves horses and has already met oz. laurie ** Who's never won?
