Re:costumes
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] The black Halloween hair spray paint works really well, but it does take a while to wear off. We used it last year. The weather was already cool and we didn't have anywhere important to go, so we didn't try washing it out. It's supposed to come out with a good shampoo. My daughter was in a costume class last October for 4-H. We spray painted a large spider web on Hakon, starting in the saddle area and spreading out. My daughter wore black pants and a black turtleneck, black gloves and her velvet helmet. We made 4 extra legs out of black tights stuffed with pillow stuffing and pinned them to the daughter's sides. She was a spider sitting in her web. Super quick and easy. Julie in CA **Looking for simple solutions to your real-life financial challenges?

It has been an amazing, exhausting and humbling experience. Now that the dust is starting to settle, I would love to come up with a farm name, but haven't hit upon the right one yet. Here is some basic info: -14 flat acres with great pasture, simple barn, wooded trails and a stream -Three Fjord geldings, two brown, one grey: they are simply for pleasure, trail riding and beginning driving--no breeding or showing -Two dogs, a Pug and a Lab, one cat -We have three little boys, ages 11, 8 and 5 -My husband is an Internal Medicine physician -I am a stay-at-home mom and all living things around me are MALE I would love to find a name that is personal, unpretentious and combines something about the boys or the Fjords...even a cute equestrian or medical term. Some that we have considered are: Portly Pony Farm Equine-imity Something involving three (for sons and geldings) Fjord Fields Thanks for any suggestions!

Re: The Amish and Fjord horses

Re: Help with bit selection
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi Roberta, I am interested in this bit, but couldn't figure out which one it was on the State Line web site. Do you know the maker or more info? Thanks, Julie in CA In a message dated 9/7/2005 7:55:38 P.M. Pacific Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I had a revelation this year. I had been having a bit ( hee hee ) of trouble getting Gunnar working and finally paid enough attention to see that the bit was irritating to him as well as just not large enough. It fit but it was a tight fit. After reading some wear that Fjords have a low pallet and that broken bits have a nut cracker effect for these horses, that fjords have a need for a larger than average size ( 5" ) things started to click. I found a short shanked low port curb 5 1/2" and man did that change things : ))!!! His head set instantly and the pleasure trot is coming along nicely! I wouldn't trade this bit for nothing. Best part is I found it at state line tack and paid only 19.95 for it, and it really looks nice ( enough for the ring ). I am really excited about the success we're having now!! I tried all the bits I had and some I borrowed and finally I got smart and remembered what I read and it worked! Very happy western pleasure rider : )) Roberta MN
Re: fjordhorse-digest V2005 #47

I will primarily be "lurking" since I don't have much to contribute but a lot to learn about these beautiful creatures! A little about me~ I live in Central California, took up dressage after a 30 year layoff (which makes me 51), love the smaller horses (closer to the ground at my age is better!), ride with my 12 year old daughter at a local barn, own a "hot" 17 yr old Anglo/Arab and 15 yr old quarterhorse.

We purchased him through a broker, and know nothing about where he came from or what training he has had. We were told that he is trained to drive, but have only been using him for trail riding. He is a love and we are so pleased with him. Julie in CA
Know this horse?
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi, I am new to fjordhorse; I've been lurking for a couple of weeks. We have one fjord, named Hakon, out of Fair Acre's Gunnar and Nanna. Does anyone know this horse? We have had him since November, but don't know his history. He is friendly and a pleasure to ride. We were told that he drives, but do not have experience in that area. We live in central California and don't see many other fjords around here. Thanks, Julie Young Andrews
