Re: Hello from Amy
This message is from: Carol Makosky cmako...@sirentel.net It's working. My thoughts are that we are all so busy getting ready for winter or recovering from WEG that there is little time to chit chat on the List. Since getting my one bionic knee and having the other shot up with cortisone, I've been running like a chippie getting ready for winter. To make this Fjord related, I had a nice long drive with Heidi one day this week and she did quite well with bare back feet.

Fjord List, genetics of temperament and Slomiet
This message is from: Starfire Farm starfiref...@usa.net Hello Amy and the List members, It appears to me that the list has been very quiet. So quiet that I went to the archives to see if I had missed anything, but no. There was some recent discussion about companion animals for horses on the Fjord Issues list, but I don't seem to be able to post to that, for whatever reason, therefore don't read it unless someone forwards me a subject. Slomiet has returned to Starfire Farm, so if anyone out there felt like they missed out on a great mare, she is available. The prospective buyers were simply not willing to give her time to settle in to her new home. She had only been there for three days when they made their decision not to keep her. I picked her up after she had been there for 8 or 9 days and I could not detect ANY problems with her behavior. She was quiet, polite for the halter, loaded up into the trailer by herself, no problem, without making a sound. Settled quietly into the trailer, rode home quietly by herself, etc., etc. I could have taken her on a trail ride, or to a show, or whatever and she would have been easy to handle, easy to ride or drive. On a similar note, one of Slomiet's most recent offspring, 3 year old Giotto (his father is Thordal) came to Starfire last week to be hitched for the very first time. His owner has been ground driving him in a surcingle, but she doesn't have a harness or cart, so needed to come here for the hitching work. In a two hour period, we taught him to drag poles, tolerate having his back legs touched by trace and pole, etc., etc. then, because he accepted everything so extremely well, hitched him to a training cart and off he went. No problems, no jitters, no spooking, nothing what-so-ever to question this horse was enjoying his new job. Yesterday they returned and we fitted a nice leather harness to him (did he ever look handsome), had him drag the poles again and then hitched him to the training cart. He drove off like he'd been doing it his whole life! Both parents have great temperaments, so it is no surprise that Giotto is taking so well to his harness training. His owner, Sara, has been riding him lightly, so he knows a bit about work, but he is SO willing...that type of temperament can only come from a combination of two great parents. Slomiet had to jump through a number of hoops to satisfy the questions of the previous buyers, so there are quite a few videos up on YouTube showing all of the things that she can do. Every time I took her out with the prospective buyers she impressed me with how good she is on the trail. How wise she was about new sights and sounds. How pleasant it was to watch her take care of her strange rider. Her training will continue, but she has already improved greatly from the initial riding-in-the-arena video. She is definitely one of the better horses that I have had to work with.
