Titan and Comanche
This message is from: Kim Manzoni kim.manz...@yahoo.com Just wanted to touch base with my friends in the Fjord world to let them know how Titan and Comanche are doing... Titan and Comanche are still in the hospital. The vet said that they are stable and he thinks that they can come home later this week. Titan still has a fever but Comanche's is now normal. Titan has firm manure and Comanche's is loose. Titans WBC is now 2600 and Comanches is 2300. Comanche is anemic as well. They arent eating or drinking yet but getting fluids through IV and getting antibiotics. He is treating them for Salmonella and Potomac Horse Fever at this point. The tests are allinconclusive. So he is treating based on symptoms. Today is the big day where he tries to offer them hay and see if they can eat it without colicing. They havent eaten since Sunday. We arent sure where the toxin came from. He is sending our Hay and Feed out to be tested at the state lab. I have changed all feed and hay to a new batch so I hope that whatever it was is no longer on my farm. We spent time with them on Monday at the clinic (its an hour and a half away from me) and they were happy to see us. They nickered as soon as we walked in the barn. The vet said it did them a world of good and their spirits were still up in the morning. :) I also think it helped that the two of them are friends and they are able to smell and hear one another through this scary time for them in a stall and in a place where they have never been. away from their herd. Please pray for them both... they are not out of the woods yet so to speak. Their blood cell counts are still at rock bottom lows. And with the hay being introduced to them today I pray that their stomachs are well enough to handle it again.

But also, my hay is very fine and after reading these posts I wonder if I dont need more coarse hay.

Interesting enough, while they were on the round bale, I noticed less water in the stool. Hmmm. Its strange how we all contemplate and take such notice of our horses poop.

Re: Fjord smarts
This message is from: Kim Manzoni kim.manz...@yahoo.com Mary - thank you for the story about your Thoroughbred laying on the other horses grave. When my old horse died, it rained heavily the next evening. Our herd leader, Cherokee (a TN Walker) stood out in the rain looking towards her grave and just whinnied and whinnied. I am sure he was calling to her because she wasnt under the shelter with the rest of the horses. It just broke my heart they really are a family to each other and to us humans. Now Cherokee is babysitting Titan my Fjord baby. I decided to put the herd leader in with Titan before turning him out with the rest of the herd. They are getting along great. It only took a few gentle kicks and warnings from Cherokee to Titan until Titan realized he cannot 1) bite the sheath of the herd leader 2) jump on Cherokees back 3) jump on Cherokee's head 4) try and bite the back of Cherokees legs 5) try and chase Cherokee. Now hopefully when he gets put out with the other horses, he learns the same lessons as easy as he did with Cherokee. -Kim in Md From: Me Kint me.k...@yahoo.com To: fjordhorse@angus.mystery.com Sent: Thursday, May 31, 2012 11:24 AM Subject: Fjord smarts This message is from: Me Kint me.k...@yahoo.com For newbies out there, just remember there is a variation of temperaments in Fjords as well as other breeds but there are probably more non-reactives in the Fjord breed.

My daughter told me that whenever I mounted this Appy that he would get a very indulgent look on his face. If he got tangled in something, he would wait for me to get him extracted.

Re: Fjord Smarts
This message is from: Kim Manzoni kim.manz...@yahoo.com Steve - you are so right, many horses will severely injure themselves trying to get free. My sister had an American Cream Draft when we were kids. At the time we didnt know very much about horse keeping and we boarded at a hack horse riding stable. They had nothing but barbed wire. Apparently over night Goldrush got caught up in the barbed wire. When he was found in the morning he was still alive but had stripped off every piece of meat from his knee to his fetlock on two legs. The vet was amazed he didnt bleed to death. She said he has somehow cauterized himself by trying to get out of the wire. He had been taken to a hospital and had extensive surgery to replace as much as possible. But a month later, xrays showed that his bones had begun to deteriorate from being exposed to air so long. We had to put him down. My sister never got another horse after that. It was too much for her to lose Goldrush. So please, if your horse is not naturally patient, please teach him patience. I follow Clinton Anderson's Downunder Horsemanship and he said he likes a horse that will fall asleep when stuck in a fence. We built a patience pole similar to his and try to teach our horses to just stand and fall asleep if they cant get away. Its a lesson that may someday save their life. I hope my boy Titan will be such a patient Fjord when he grows up. : ) Thank you for sharing the story Steve and I am happy that Tank was fine. Horses are marvelous smart beings. Last year my horse Toby coliced. He was way out in our back pasture and could barely be seen through the trees. I was coming home from grocery shopping and unloading bags into the house when something caught my eye. It was Comanche (our TN Walker baby) running frantically in circles out in the pasture. It made me stop to look because he is a calm steady eddy type. Nothing bothers him or scares him. I noticed he was running in circles around Toby, who was rolling. Normally I wouldnt have thought twice at Toby rolling because he does so often. But because Comanche was running in circles, it made me take note. I ran (and it was a long run) out to the pasture in a semi-nervous fashion because I knew something had to be wrong. When I got there, I found that Toby was colicing. If it were not for Comanche getting our attention focused on Toby, he might have twisted a gut and died before we could have noticed/found him. Ok, one more smart horse story When I was a kid we boarded at the big stable as I mentioned above. We were out in the pasture and on our way back up to the stable. We (my sister, mom and I) were crossing a bridge (could fit a tractor over it) to get back up to the barn when suddenly we heard thundering hooves. We turned to see about 50 horses headed our way. Something had scared them and they were running up to the top too and we were in their path. We would not have made it across the bridge in time. All of a sudden we see Goldrush break out of the herd and run toward us. We thought he was going to plow us down. Instead he started to throw his head and ran around the three of us in a small tight circle. He protected us. The horses couldnt get past him and they turned and ran a different direction. I have no doubt that he saved us from severe injury or death that day. He was an amazing horse and he is missed tremendously to this day.

Re: Heaves
This message is from: Kim Manzoni kim.manz...@yahoo.com Wow! So many responses about Toby and Heaves - thank you all for your kindness and support. Yes, the vet has me soaking his hay for 10 minutes before putting in the feeders. We dont have stalls, just outside run in sheds. We live in an area where winters are fairly mild (mainland Maryland gets the snow, we are on the peninsula of MD and rarely get much) so Toby does not spend any time in a barn. We have a dirt lot that they stay on during the day with the run in sheds and after dinner at night we turn them out on the pasture. We dont leave them on the pasture all day because of founder. The peninsula is very sandy of course and we are always trying to ward off Sand Colic. Its dusty, high pollen, windy and with all the farm fields around and chicken houses... it can smell moldy. So any of these things can be the culprit and will continue to be around no matter what I do. I can only treat his hay and treat him with meds. Right now he is getting Prednisone, Albuterol and Axium (or Azium, dont remember the spelling). After three weeks of rest and meds she will re-evaluate to see what meds to give at that time and to see if he could be ridden. He is my only riding horse. :( My husband has his horse and a 2 yr old that he is training. I have Toby and my Fjord baby, Titan. We also have an elderly rescue shetland pony Sadie and a rescue QH that we bought off of a slaughter house bound truck last year, Sonny. Sonny can be ridden at a walk for about 30 minutes only - he has severe navicular. So it looks like my riding season is over before it began. I am upset about it but more upset that Toby is not well. I would give up riding to get back his health. As a side question... how do you all store your hay? We have ours in a hay loft and some in our feed room. But from what I read yesterday, hay shouldnt be kept in a hay loft??? Well, then how do you keep it and keep it from getting dusty? We get two string sq bales from a local hay guy and we also get one of our pastures baled twice a year if we can. Thank you all again for your help and support. And to keep this Fjordy... Titan is doing very well. He is 9 months old and a real funny character. He is still separated from the other horses. Our herd leader can be aggressive so we are giving Titan time to grow before we introduce him into the main herd. What do you all find is a good age to start introducing your babies into the full population? Kim in Md.

Re: Feed for obese Fjord - allergy
This message is from: Kim Manzoni kim.manz...@yahoo.com Well, I have an appt for my vet to come out on Wednesday for my Quarter Horse. He has been coughing for 3 weeks. At first I thought it was because it has been SO dry here. Then after it rained, he was still coughing. I put him on Farnam's Cough Free and it has gotten a little better but if I stick my ear in his nostril I can hear him wheezing. And when I ride him, his nostrils flare and he coughs. I am hoping that its just an allergy and not something scary bad (COPD, Congestive Heart Failure). But he isnt rubbing or anything else, so am not sure. Just a dang wheeze/dry cough. I feed them all grass hay and Blue Seal extruded pellets. Plus a pelleted supplement. For the obese Fjord, I would take her off of grain completely and give her a supplement so she gets the minerals she needs without the calories. For my one that isnt getting grain, he gets Blue Seal's Sunshine Plus. -Kim in Maryland (hoping that my QH Toby gets well soon and it isnt something scary bad).

He is doing really well. The first time I picked up his hoof, he laid down. LOL But now he is just standing there and letting his hoof be picked. Just not happy with one back leg being picked up but he will overcome that quickly. He has a really good mind. He is doing well with being led around on a lead rope/halter. And has been following us around like a puppy. I am so happy with him! John and Eunice Bosomworth are by the nicest people I have ever met. I love them both dearly. They treated us like family while we were at their home and I cannot thank them enough for all they have done for us and for their hospitality. I loved the tour of their farm and of John's collection of antiques. I only wish I could have spent more time with them before we had to head home to the States. My husband and I are really hoping to visit them again sometime in the spring or summer. I will always feel like the Bosomworth's are part of my extended family. Here is a link to Titan's picture. This is right after we unloaded him from the trailer and let him work off his energy for a bit before putting him in the pasture. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v235/bsc_siege/horses/3512c.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v235/bsc_siege/horses/3512b.jpg Bright blessings to all, Kim Important FjordHorse List Links: Subscription Management: http://tinyurl.com/5msa7e FH-L Archives: http://tinyurl.com/rcepw FH-L Shirts: http://tinyurl.com/8yky94l
Re: Rescued donkeys to join our Norwegian Fjords.
This message is from: Kim Manzoni kim.manz...@yahoo.com Ellen, It was really very difficult to look at those pictures. I had to fight back tears. I am so sorry that they were treated like that and I hope they will eventually have a pain free life again. Thank you for saving them. Last year I rescued an ex-show horse who was on the truck headed for the slaughter house. He is 21 yrs old and had been a western pleasure show horse for many years. He had even made it to 6th place at the AQHA Congress. Unfortunately, he developed navicular and since he could no longer be useful to the people that owned him for 18 yrs, they sent him to be food. When I got him, his feet were so dished up and he was in pain from the hoof growth and navicular combined. After several trimmings to get him at a real hoof angle, our vet came out and took xrays. His navicular bone and surrounding tendons are like swiss cheese. I have him on pain meds, both natural and chemical. He is comfortable and will live out the rest of his life here... getting lots of food and treats. I just dont understand how people can discard their animals after all those years. Or mistreat them. And why after that would these animals look to humans with trusting eyes? Kim...in Md, wondering why people find it so easy to mistreat animals.

Re: Bolting
This message is from: Kim Manzoni kim.manz...@yahoo.com Mary - I completely agree with you. You have to set your horse up for success. I had a QH that was labelled as dangerous. He is now a slow pokey reliable trail horse. I used the Downunder Horsemanship Method on him and he is a great horse. Yes, there is always the chance he will spook or bolt, just like any other equine... but the best thing is, to be prepared and know what to do to get your horse back to thinking instead of reacting. Now when Toby spooks, he is much easier to get thinking again. I dont care how bombprooof a horse is... they are still a horse. Very good advice from Mary!

Always maintain a gentle contact. I learned the hard way this is the best strategy. I in my early years rode with a loose rein until a bad accident (long story but someone dumped a dead cow where I always safely(?) Rode. If you maintain contact it is much easier to maintain control if something comes up. I also highly recommend desensitizing exercises which Clinton Anderson teaches to get your horses thinking rather than being reactive. You can prepare your horse for success. A horse/Fjord is a horse, this can happen with any breed. You have to work with them and prepare them for success and you can't just sit there and be a passenger, you have to be the leader and be in control.

Re: Training the One-rein stop?
This message is from: Kim Manzoni kim.manz...@yahoo.com I have been teaching my horses the one rein stop for a few years now because I have a QH that was labelled as Dangerous by former owners and trainers. My best advice is flex, flex, flex. You want your horse to be soft and supple so that when you pick up on the reins, even in an emergency, you are able to get that head around to your leg. A horse should not be able to continue to run away... at least not forward... if his head is bent to your leg. While I have not trained a Fjord yet, I am sure that if you get your horse soft and supple and bending that head around, it should work just the same. -Kim ...

I'm not the best rider in the world, but as a thinking adult beginner, I've had many teachers, all of which (to some degree or another) made sure I knew how to A) Get off a moving horse as safely as possible, and B) Train that one-rein stop. This was Buck Brannaman's advice, many years ago during a colt starting clinic I was in, about teaching the one-rein halt...Make it [the halt] a soothing place to be,...so the horse gets security from it rather than being just a means of control. So, I don't think it is just about flex, flex, flex. Sometimes if you try to teach a Fjord to flex roboticly (like some clinicians) you can teach the horse to fear and brace against the one-rein halt. Often, with a Fjord, one needs to break down a movement or request into smaller steps to help it understand what you want. Teach it to yield laterally to the bit (or, preferably to the halter) slightly first, then graduate to adding neck flexion, then add the disengagement. The rider's seat position and balance are also crucial in a one-rein halt. The rider's balance should be somewhat over the outside hip, but deep and grounded in the seat of the saddle, rather than what the body wants to do naturally, which is lean over the inside shoulder, weight out of the seat and over the rider's legs. Unfortunately, when the weight of the rider is over the shoulders, it makes the horse's weight fall onto the forehand and the horse could lose its balance, falling over its own front feet. A scary situation for both horse and rider. Fjords can have very strong necks, but setting that neck always starts with /mental/ strength or bracing. Under normal circumstances (meaning the horse is comfortable with the situation, etc.) their necks are extremely supple. In fact, I have found them to be extremely supple throughout their entire bodies! I have taught, and continue to teach, many Fjords (and other horses) to do a one rein halt /without/ reins, essentially teaching them to disengage when I touch the hindquarter button (my students will understand this! ;-) When you have that...you really have a connection that can be very reliable. Having said that, a horse that is truly afraid and is a true runaway cannot be bent with any amount of force, Fjord or otherwise. One had to chose whether to ride it out or jump off. If you ride it out, you have to wait until the horse peaks to try to make any effect with a one rein halt. Make that one-rein halt your horse's little happy place and you should have a tool that is reliable for both you and your horse.

Re: to potential Fjord owner
This message is from: Kim Manzoni kim.manz...@yahoo.com I've really enjoyed reading these emails over the past few days. It has definitely made me very happy with my decision to buy a Fjord. I have had several different breeds of horses over the years. I still have QH's and TWH's at this time, but when the opportunity came up to add one more to my herd after my old QH Cocoa died (she was my first horse and with me for 27 yrs), I decided to go with the breed that I had wanted since childhood. A Fjord! I met a Fjord years ago in Florida and always wished I could be a Fjord mom. There are so few Fjords in this area though... and its mostly a QH area. I am sure that my Fjord will be an unusual sight for the people here. Hopefully I can introduce people to this breed and show them how terrific they are. I knew I had made the right decision but all of these emails have just made me that much more pleased and excited. I cant wait to bring Titan home! He comes home in March and I am counting down the days (literally! I have a countdown app on my ipod. LOL) My husband is a Tennessee Walker fan and he has a long yearling that he has been working with and training since he was a weanling. It has been so rewarding for him and watching the growth, training and relationship between them has been rewarding for me too. Thats another reason why I decided to go with a young Fjord. I am looking forward to working with Titan from the beginning. I have so many plans for the little guy! And to Bonnie... you cant trade your Fjord for a hamster - they are far too small to ride.

My Thor is a 15h, big powerful boy with a dominant attitude and a big appetite...for life and food! He will gallop for miles, jump everything with exuberance, then ask to go another 10 miles. That horse needs a 6' 5 300 lb Viking and ten mountains and rivers to cross in a day. Ground manners to die for though. Some pet! My 14.3h Stine Gutten is the easiest fellow to get along with. So comfortable to ride and will do anything he's asked tobut doesn't like to jump or gallop cross-country. Dressage and trail horse extraordinaire.. I never let others ride him because I am selfish. My new gelding, 14h Milo, is another sweet grey boy. He is my driving pony and has an easy-to train attitude and a loving personality. All that in a flashy compact sport-model. The point I'm trying to make is that, although to a non-Fjord person all Fjords tend to look alike, they vary as individuals just like any other breed. They still take my breath away when I see them in the pasturemy eyes see the perfect equine when I look at my Fjords. However, there have been moments when I've felt like trading them in for a hamster.
