Re: shelter flooring
This message is from: "Erlypine" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> It's a fairly large area, and I've heard that the rubber mats are very pricey! Someone told us to use lime mixed with water, then spread over the sand and packed down works great.

Re Tom Hans horses
This message is from: "Erlypine" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I just wanted to say that I have 2 of Han's horses,different bloodlines Anvil's Peder, and P.E. Regina}, and I, too agree that they are great. They are our first horses ever, and have had great luck with them. We got them Aug. 15, and they are very easy to handle/work with. We have alot to learn, but they are very loving, patient and willing.

Re: Yet another new Fjord owner!
This message is from: "Erlypine" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hi and welcome! I too, am new to the list. I have been a fjord owner for almost 3 months. They are our first horses, and they're wonderful. I couldn't imagine life without them! We have a 2year old gelding- Anvil's Peder, and a 2 year old mare, Pine's Edge Regina. We just had our new barn built, and they don't seem to show too much interest yet, but the weather has been so beautiful! I'm sure they'll like it when the snow starts coming down!

Re: horse personality types and Gail
This message is from: "Erlypine" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hi! I finally read an e-mail that sounds just like my Fjords. I have a 2yr. old mare, and a 2 yr. old gelding. We got them the at the same time, and our gelding is definately the BOSS! He pushes our mare away from her hay. It seems he wants to get all the leaves off before she does! Other than feeding, they get along great! -Original Message- From: Don Brackett <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: fjordhorse@angus.mystery.com Date: Monday, October 15, 2001 6:05 PM Subject: Re: horse personality types and Gail >This message is from: Don Brackett <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > >Hi Brigid, > >Late responding but I too find animal behavior fascinating.
