RE: fjordhorse-digest V2008 #186
This message is from: Kelly Trirogoff Hello Everyone; My digest is acting strange as I keep getting it in individual format. I know the server has been having issues...Is anyone else having this problem? Also my previous post seems to be one of the ones that never made it to the list...'Grandpa' (Anders) left this world on Friday...I think he was in his 30's...He was having chronic diarrhea/colic and just was not putting on enough weight to survive winter. I finally had to make the decision and have him euthanised...With a new baby I couldn't risk having to deal with a colicking horse and a new baby. I just didn't think it fair to keep him alive in his condition...I work in healthcare and see people do this to each other everyday, and it gets old...The island is currently FLOODED with old horses people are trying to give away. Skovy seems to be depressed despite the fact that he has another mare in with him right now...He seems to find her annoying and neurotic (shes an arab x QH) Does anyone know how to help them feel less depressed?? I have never had to deal with this before...I didn't realize how attached Skov was to Grandpa, since he always seemed to be such a bully to him... Also great posts about ideal weight. I have had a friend point out that she feels Skov is way too thin, but in my opinion all her ponies are fat...So everyones posts/sites have been very helpful. He comes in at around a 5 in body condition. He has always been thin, and a worry wort...I have always had to work hard to keep weight on him. But he is a high energy guy :) Cheers Kelly and Skovy (RIP Grandpa aka Anders) _ Windows Live: Keep your friends up to date with what you do online. http://go.microsoft.com/?linkid=9691815 Instructions to manage subscriptions are found at: http://tinyurl.com/5msa7e The FjordHorse List archives are found at: http://tinyurl.com/rcepw

Fjord weight
This message is from: "Dave McWethy" I figure when there is no evidence of a backbone, the horse needs to diet. Dave Instructions to manage subscriptions are found at: http://tinyurl.com/5msa7e The FjordHorse List archives are found at: http://tinyurl.com/rcepw
Re: Weight tape
This message is from: Sarah Clarke You do not need a weight tape. You need your eyes and your hands. You should be able to feel the ribs, but not see them. There should not be fat pillows on each side of the spine, nor should the spine stick up from the back. The neck should not be too cresty, not too skinny. the was an article in Equus a few months (maybe years?) ago on how to rate your horses fatness from 1 (starving) to 10 (morbidly obese). Maybe somebody else knows a link to a similar article or post. The problem with the weight tape is that what is the right weight for a medium build 14.2 fjord is too fat for a lightly built sport pony model and too skinny for a drafty fjord. I DO use a weight tape to calculate worming dosages, but I use it with a chart that has you enter not only the circumference around the girth, but also the should to butt length. I ordered the chart on- line. --- On Mon, 11/30/09, jeanne.mil...@pnc.com wrote: . How do I determine if my Fjord is at the proper weight?. What is the best way to use a weight tape?? She is 14.2 .

Re: Toronto Cadora Demo
This message is from: Robin Churchill I am excited that Lori has been invited for this demo which I think is a great opportunity to showcase the fjord breed. Ooruk has been shown in dressage successfully on the Florida winter circuit including Wellington. I am not going to be able to attend due to distance and fairly short notice but I hope anyone who is close will attend and cheer on Lori and Ooruk. > I > will be riding the 8 year old Fjord gelding Ooruk, owned by > Robin Churchill. Anyone in the Toronto area who has an > interest in Fjords, dressage and/or youth, please stop by!
