Anyone who has gone to one of the Equine Affaires has probably seen the
Versatile Horse and Rider Competition. This is essentially a trail class
on steroids, with some very tricky obstacles.

We're excited to announce that one of our riders (Margaret Williams of
Shelburne, MA) has been selected to compete riding our mare LFF Tulie.
Tulie is a terrific Grey Fjord who has consistently done well in open
hunter/jumper shows in this area and she and Margaret make a terrific
team.

We're all very excited and can't wait for November.

What a very sweet video (ad).  It shows the power of YouTube.

The NFHR Board of Directors has been discussing the idea of having someone
develop a You Tube Channel that would be a site for Fjord enthusiasts to
post videos of their Fjords in action. This is seen as a way to call
attention to and promote the versatility of the breed.

What do list subscribers think of such a possibility?

Bill, 

I think that it is a great idea. Having my mare here at school with me
or when 
we were in Florida, not many have seen or knew what a fjord was. And
it would be 
great to get more promotion for the breed.

Bill this sounds like a wonderful idea! My only reservation is: would there be
some moderating to weed out vids that show people  their fjords doing
stupid unsafe things? And also if folks submitted videos that they properly
identify themselves and their horses.

Bill,
 Last weekend some friends and I were watching some really boring western
riding classes at a show that was inaugurating a new local indoor arena (I was
pretty much there to scope out the new facility ;~)) Anyway, while watching
some of the sloppy cow work, I told my friend Linda about some of the
wonderful horsemanship I had seen in mounted bullfighting on videos  as a kid
living in Mexico, in person. Well, she rolled her eyes at the bullfighting
part when I told her, but then a couple of days ago she sent me this video.
Its pretty much the same riding, but done on a trail course w/o a bull chasing
them! So, to get your rider Margaret all psyched up for her Versatility Trail
class, have her check this out:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5895K-Xjupkfeature=related
I love the fact that the horse isn't some wirey QH, he's a total
chunky-monkey Lusitano. Shrink him down a bit and he could be a Fjord! Also,
I bet that rider could have a new career riding in the Dollar Bill
classes...his butt looks super-glued to his saddle.
Good Luck @ Equine Affaire!
Karen

Bill et al:  The notion of a you tube fjord channel is great.  We've seen
some hilarious you tube videos - remember the one of the fjords destroying a
couch that was in their paddock?  Plus some video of fjords doing great
things.

It would be a great use of social media to put fjord doings on video
together in one place.

 There is an app and/or free software that will identify the beats by

 Could some that ride or drive to music, share some of the trot music 
 they
 ride to, gets their fjords moving at a nice working trot, especially these
 fjords.  Some variations in speed would be great, but really looking for a
 nice forward trot tempo.

Willi update

2010-09-30 Thread mypumpkin
This message is from: mypump...@windstream.net


Hi all. Willi is doing very well! The hole in his hoof is all pink and filling 
in. The bandage changes are getting easier, although I think it will be quite 
some time before I can do it by myself.

Question: we are on SMZs, 12 twice a day. The Vet whose house Willi is staying 
at says the surgeon put us on the gold standard of diarrea prevention, Bio 
Sponge twice a day and Probios once a day. So far no troubles. Willi does not 
like the Bio Sponge at all. Has anyone used a similiar product that may be more 
palatable?

Thanks!
Kathy in Sc and Willi in NC, where fall is creeping in

Hey Kathy,
I know it must be immensely horrible for the poor guy to be chugging
Bio-Sponge daily (yeah, it's like asking someone to pease eat  swallow a
whole bowl of clay, yuk!) but I am sure he is doing it as a gastric
preventative bc he's on the HD antibiotics and wants to keep his gut happy w/
and colitis freeso keep it up, it's a great hind binder (w/ apologies to
Bob  Ray...and if you don't know who they are, then you must be under 50 ;~))
I have used it on 3 different horses and it certainly does the trick, a bit
spendy though, but Good Luck and so glad things are going well!

I didn't get the most recent Willi update.  He's doing well I hope?
I think he must still be with the vet.  Hows his mom doing, I know she'd
come down sick right after he'd had the surgery.
