Saddle Fitting
This message is from: "Don & Jeanette Rantala" Saddle Fitting We also have a high whithered Fjord with a narrow frame. I have looked and looked for a western saddle to fit him. My compromise was to purchase an Australian saddle (without a horn - but I do use a grab strap). It fits him beautifully and he and I have been most happy with it. They do come with or without a horn. They are lighter than most leather western saddles. Quality varies greatly from one manufacturer to the next. If you decide to go this route some research will be beneficial. After I had purchased the Aussie I tried a Utahn western saddle that we had custom made for a small Moab about 30 years ago and that seems to fit Flynt as well although I have not put miles on it to confirm its comfort. I'm not sure if they are still in business - can't find them on the web but saw a used one for sale. I will also be interested other riders' recommendations.

Re: seaweed meal
This message is from: Jeanette <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> You might want to check out the Izmine by Dynamite (http://dynamite.mystateusa.com/Izmine_for_Horses.htm). I have my fjords on it and have been pleased with their product. A friend that is also following some of the feedings suggested by Pat Coleby. They also carry some of the minerals and natural salt that are not in the block.

Parelli Fjords
This message is from: Jeanette <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Yes Jean, there are a few Parelli fjords out there. Two here in Nolensville TN. I just passed Level 2 and am working on Level 3. I was also able to have a lesson with Linda when she was in Murfreesboro last fall. A super great experience, don't know if we'll end up on a Savvy Club DVD or not, we worked for almost 2 hours with Linda. Jeanette Haislip Nolensville, Tennessee

New members
This message is from: Donald & Jeanette Rantala <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> We are new members to the Fjord Horse list serve. Name: Don and Jeanette Rantala Location: Lake Nebagamon, Wisconsin, USA which is a small village of 900 persons at the tip of Lake Superior. Horse background: During November Ezzie, a yearly Fjord, and Flynt, a weanling Fjord, joined our three Morgans, Chico (29 years), Starfire (14 years) and Apryl (9 years) and our neighbor's 7 month old pony. We ride all of our Morgans both English and Western and primarily drive Apryl. In a few years we hope to drive and ride the Fjords as well. Grooming, scratching and leading have been our major activities with them while they become more acquainted with our place. We are members of the Northwoods Harness Club, Ltd. which is open to anyone interested in the sport of driving horses and/or horse drawn vehicles. This is a group of friendly folks that help one another learn to drive and have fun. Saturday, January 12, 2003, the 17th annual Northwoods Harness Club Sleigh and Cutter Parade will be held in Duluth, Minnesota, USA at the Lester Park Golf Course. Participants (advance registration required) and spectators are welcome. A banquet is held Saturday evening for participants and an informal drive on Sunday at the stabling facilities. If there is no snow we will use wheeled vehicles at another location (this happened for the first time in 16 years in January 2002). Monthly meetings are held in the winter (without horses), driving training sessions in the spring and 4 to 6 driving activities with horses are scheduled throughout the year. Some are for one day and some include camping for several days. We look forward to learning more about you and Fjords!! -. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
