When your day seems out of balance and so many
things go wrong ...  
When people fight around you and the clock drags on so
long ... When  
some folks act like children and fill you with remorse ... Go
out into  
your pasture and wrap your arms around your pony/horse. His gentle 
breath enfolds you as... he watches with those eyes. He may not have a  
PhD
but he is, oh so wise! His head rests on your shoulder... you hug  
him good
and tight. He puts your world in balance and makes it seem  
all right. Your
tears will soon stop flowing, the tension will be  
eased. The nonsense has
been lifted. You are quiet and at peace. So  
when you need some balance from
the stresses in your day. The therapy  
you really need Is out there eating
hay!

Re: Saddles

Hi Julie, my Fjord isnt home yet and way to young to ever need a saddle now
but I use Bob Marshall treeless saddles on all of my horses. They fit
everything from the tall thin framed long backed Tn Walker to my fat stocky
round foundation Quarter Horse. 

They come in various designs as well. With
skirt, without...etc. Check them out. I love them. I especially love that I
can feel the horse breathe and move under me. My QH had an issue with
crowhopping - in a regular saddle I had no idea when he was about to explode.
But in the treeless, I felt his back arch slightly and his back muscles
tighten... it gave me that brief warning where I was able to change directions
of his feet and get his mind off of the crowhop. He doesnt crowhop any more
and I attribute it to the retraining I gave him with Natural Horsemanship and
to my treeless saddle.  :)

Hi everyone,   wondering what
saddles you are finding fit your Fjords
best.  I have an old western trail
saddle that has seen better days for
sure and am hoping to find something to
fit my wide and short backed girl
and be comfortable for me as well!!  I
mostly rode her around the property
bareback which I love but am ready to hit
the trails and think it probably
safest to use a saddle!  Thanks for any
advice, Julie

Fjord gelding needing a home

2012-01-13 Thread Shannon Kaplan
This message is from: Shannon Kaplan kaplank...@hotmail.com


Forwarding on this message from our local spca:


We are the United SPCA in Yamhill.  Recently we acquired an untrained 4 year
old, sweet, Fjord gelding with impaired vision in his left eye.  We are trying
to place him.  His adoption fee is $500.00.  We have had someone working with
him.  He is still in your pocket, comes when he is called Froto, and all in
all is a good little boy.  Would you consider adopting him and having some of
your people work with him there to be used as a therapy horse? He can be
registered, we have all that documentation.


His Dam is a now a therapy horse at Healing Reins in Bend, along with his
auntie.


Please let us know if you would take on this project.  We have 19 horses here
for adoption.  The more we are able to place, the better.


Thank you for your consideration!
