quiessence
This message is from: Jane Brackett I seem to remember a discussion on this a while back. I am considering adding Quiessence supplement to my Fjord's diets. Is anyone using it with their Fjords? Do you think it's worth the $25 per horse per month? Changes? Are the crests softer, is keeping weight off easier? From the advertisements it is essential for insulin resistant prone horses but.I'm always a bit skeptical.

This message is from: Nancy Newport Wow Brian and Ursula, that's great exposure for our Fjordies! I would also like to thank Howard and Ardeth and Phil for their great success at partnering with the ADS. It seems that we are seeing the Fjords in more and more different places this year! Also congrats to Sami and Hershey, although she's no longer a junior driver, she's a young person making a showing, which is so cool. And Maggie Sullivan, who I don't know, but certainly have heard of!

Re: Interior Provincial Exhibition-Armstrong-British Columbia
This message is from: Congratulations Brian! What a great presentation of the Fjord Horse. I can imagine the trauma with all the bands and carnival noise around you as we experienced at the San Juan County Fair years ago. It tires me just thinking about the things you and your entourage did at the Exhibition! Way to go.

Re: Abcess question
This message is from: Lori Lemley After the age of 15 or so, my Fjord mare begin having abscesses once or twice a year. A few years ago, I had her thyroid tested (due to other symptoms). She was hypothyroid and started on levothyroxin. She has not had a single abscess since. This summer she was also diagnosed with Cushing's; if your Fjord is hypothyroid, you may also want to watch him for that.

Re: Abcess question
This message is from: Lauren Sellars Fjords rarely have abscess problems. The two times that it did happen here I had the vet find the exact location . Then I put a heavy layer of bentonite clay over the spot duct tape it on. Over night it was cured. We also use bentonite on wasp stings. It just sucks poison right out. Amazing and cheap stuff. You can buy it in a wine making shop. just add water . Good luck Lauren mypump...@windstream.net wrote: This message is from: Hello List. I have gotten only 1 or 2 digests in a couple weeks, so I am wondering if there is a technical problem or is everyone out riding or driving? Anyhoo, Willi has an abcess again. Same foot, left front if it matters, that had one in March. This is going on 3 weeks. We soaked and soaked in his own personal Hoofcuzzi, and poulticed with Animalintex for about 2 weeks. I did have an x ray taken after about a week, and saw the abcess and no bone chip or whatever else. One week ago tomorrow, I switched to a Magic Cushion poultice, and his lameness worsened significantly overnite. Hmmm, we thought, this is drawing out the junk. Vet came Saturday, brought his farrier friend, and they hoof tested and scraped, and determined the abcess had moved from the point of the frog, over to the side, like at about 10-11:00 so to speak, on the hoof, same place as last time. They made the soft spot bleed, but no infection came out. We repoulticed with Magic Cushion. Willi is as lame as a duck. Bad. Really.
