Cantering fjords
This message is from: Linda Lottie I'll jump in here and share that our "Hasse" also LOVES to canter. Prefers it to trotting!!! He is much more "forward" than his mother...but a level headed guy. He makes a great lesson horse and the kids love to ride him (in an arena) because he likes to canter! One day a 10 year old with little to no horse experience wanted to ride him. Of course, we walked along side her...soon she was turning and stopping and moving out with beginner confidence. Round and round she went ...we adults were visiting & I was not paying total close attention when I looked her way and she had Hasse in a most beautiful collected trot!!! Calm and steering pretty well, Hasse was listening to her 100%. Gotta love that horse He really likes kids.

Cross Country Trip
This message is from: Linda Lottie Good Morning My cousin and I traveled from MN to NM and back a few weeks ago. I drove a super duty Ford 350 - pulling a three horse trailer. No horses this trip - loaded the back with stuff for my property in NM. The trip went smoothly. No glitches! Went from near 100 degree heat to torrential rains, to gorgeous weather/views and never ending semi-trucks!!! Truck and trailer traveled great! First night we stayed with a fjord owner. Beautiful hobby farm - all set-up for an RV rig. Returned again on return - many thanks to you, Julia:))) Second night we stayed at an equestrian center outside Albuquerque, NM. Again, great set-up for RV. Hopefully next fall ... Taking horses and spending the winter months in NM!!!

My trip to NM
This message is from: Linda Lottie Thanks for all your responses - all so helpful. You are correct, Gail...this trip is trailer only, no horses. It's a dry run - & the trailer filled with necessary gear for my place in New Mexico. As I write this my NM 10 acres is being readied for habitation. I'll live in my LQ trailer so a cement slab has been poured with easy access to custom placed utilities/hook-ups. A small shed will hold utilities and a washer/dryer. A no crawl fence surrounds the property. Horse shelter/cross fencing next year. My plan was to spend this coming winter in NM - until I got the fabulous news that my youngest daughter, Anne, is having a baby boy in late October!!! I've changed my plans, will hang around one more year, enjoy getting to know my grandson and be on-call if "help!!!" is needed!!! LOL Good reason for flexibility! Haha! My farm is still for saleprice dropped over $100,000 and that has generated more interest. FINGERS CROSSED My trailer won't go unused for animals, however - my nearly 200 lb English Mastiff will love the space in the back. I had the entire back end (for animals) insulated so the air conditioning will cool that as well. He rides in the back of my truck when movingyep, DROOL and all!!!

Fjord head on a shoulder?
This message is from: Linda Lottie Fjord head on your shoulder? Did you ask him to put it there? If so, your choice. Did he choose to put it there? I personally would not allow that. My comfort level with my personal space is VERY critical with all of my horses. And, as I get older I find I'm even more aware of it. I just don't like any nonsense or verging on "getting in my way". With fjords, appys, a mini and two mini donkeys all know my rules. They adore me (I feed them...LOL) and I spend lots of time hanging out with them in their turnouts w/o halters. I give good scratches and smooches but I do NOT like being clunked in the head or body by any of them!!! And, they know it!!! Guests are also encouraged to pet my horses on the neckbut of course they want to touch the face. Touch my fjord mares mouth? Might see teeth! LOL.

RE: mane trimming
This message is from: Linda Lottie Ticks??? I've not had a problem with ticks since I started using "Freedom Spot"...a liquid application for horses similar to what people put on dogs and cats. My fjords would get ticks buried in their tails..breeding beds...sores..and itchy. Another bug product I like and it seems to help for gnats..."Belly Balm" by Tail Tamers. A bit like SWAT but not as thick and BB has citronella to repel bugs. Also aloe to soothe bites. And of course..good ole' tail washing on a regular basis keeps the tails from getting gunked up - and a good application of de-tangler on the hair after washing.they are good to go. Anyone out there from the southwest - desert climate? What are the most annoying bugs for horses in the southwest???

A few extra groceries and he should be good to go..to a new forever home. :) I always chuckle a little when I read that a fjord is a little lacking in manners...that's just normal LOL My fjords came in with bunches of tick bites the other day, I gave them a dose of "spot on"..no more tick bites. The key is to dose them every two weeksit's expensive but worth it. Our weather in NW WI has been a real challenge the past months..really nice day yesterday..but seems we only get ONE.

MN Horse Expo
This message is from: Linda Lottie Hello Fellow Fjord Friends The MN Horse Expo was simply..FUN!!! The horses were fabulous - people friendly - weather crappy (good grief, where IS spring???) .and, another successful expo under our belt. Kristin Lee and I first attended the expo years ago with one fjord and now we have a dozen or more. Riders, drivers - all ages. The crowd LOVES our fjord horses!!! As a spectator myself I see first hand that our group does a VERY nice job presenting their horses to an adoring crowd. The sense of community within our wonderful group of fjord owners is why we look forward to attending the expo with joy and purpose. Thank you to all participants. Kristin and I are incredibly proud of everyone and appreciate the friendship and caring you bring to the program. Oh, and did I say we had FUN? Yep, just FUN, FUN, FUN!!!

This message is from: Linda Lottie Kathleen..you are correct about the "broker" for these horses.

RE: breeding older mares
This message is from: Linda Lottie Debby...wise words on this cold Saturday morning in WI. My fjord mare is 15 - she is our darling and I would love to have another foal from her. However, I will not. My daughter owns her 8 year old son.and at my age (nearing ss), bringing a foal into my herd seems selfish. I have plenty of horses to work with and enjoy. There are plenty of nice foals available for purchase if I wanted a new fjord Still, I love this mare so much and she is such a wonderful mother.has nice babies, with her good qualities. So, instead, I choose to find joy in the memories of the birth of her son and really love watching my daughter love and enjoy owning him. If my daughter showed interest in expanding her horse numbers I might be tempted to breed my mare.but, one horse is enough for a busy veterinarian with a full and multi-facted life.

RE: available Fjord
This message is from: Linda Lottie Debbie..great news and so glad you had so many homes to choose from..a sellers delight. A little story about my fjords...Lena, 15 yo mare, is stalled with my mini. Both are a bit hefty so they make a good pair. I have one too many equines for the number of stalls so Lena shares hers with my mini. The other night I went out - late - to check water. Lena was standing over the mini as he slept in the new pile of shavings. I smiled and told her she was 'such a good girl'. All my horses love my mini and watch out for him :) My daughter has moved our youngest fjord (now hers) closer to her home in St Paul MN. He is Mr Popularity at the barn and she loves having him to hang out with on her days off. Her job as a small animal vet is hectic so going out to the barn to hang with her fjord is a great mental health activity :) The joy of owning horses...good for the mind, body and soul.

RE: selling Fjords
This message is from: Linda Lottie Amy.in the past when I looked at horses I asked if the seller could find a nearby/local arena to present the horse. Usually works out. Being in a small town does limit buyers..so unless a seller is willing to do elaborate videos and/or find an arena for those out of towners who need to see it all the first time, I guess lowering your price to fit the economy of the small town/rural area would be an option. Or, send the horse to consignment with one of the wonderful fjord owners who offer that service. Just an aside... I offer beginning riding lessons (on my dear sweet Lena (15 years old) who takes such good care of all my riders!!!) in my area. I have had many a parent ask me to help them find a horse for their young rider. "And, how much do you want to spend?", I ask. Over and over this is what I hear..oh, $200-$500. And, of course, they want said horse safe and healthy and trained.oh, and drop dead beautiful. LOL Here is what I know today...if a parent (non-horsey) is looking for a $200-$500 horse for their horse crazy kid the chances of that same parent balking at vet care, farrier costs, correct fitting gear and a safe riding area/arena/fencing, is a certainty. Not to mentiongood hay. I learned, quickly, to resist helping a parent find a horse for that cost. There may be a diamond in the ruff out there.but I'm not interested in taking my time to find it. Part of the conflict is the mind-set in our rural area where the average person thinks any ole' horse is good enough to jump on and go for a ride. Buying a fjord for $5, 6, 7000? NO WAY!!! Sigh. Melting going on here in NW WI. My sun conure parrot sits on his daytime perch near two big windows. This morning he started screeching with a major purpose so I went to look. Sure enough...a HUGE red-tailed hawk was flying around the yard. Same parrot also "warns" me when the eagles are out and about. They just know danger. :) Linda in WI > To: fjordhorse@angus.mystery.com > Subject: Re: selling Fjords > From: fjord...@aol.com > Date: Mon, 15 Nov 2010 13:26:56 -0500 > > This message is from: Amy Evers > > > I want to add this: the setting your horse is in will make a difference as > o whether you will attract a buyer. > > > > > > DEFINITELY!!

get it that the cost of the horse is the least of the expense.
To ask someone to sell a $6500 horse (and well worth it from your description)
for $1000 is insulting and, dare I say, stupid???

This message is from: Linda Lottie Karen and others.. Are you sure you don't have beavers instead of fjords..LOL Only one place I lived with my fjords did they munch on the trees..and the trees were River Birch. It was a dry lot. My goats chewed the dickens out of some scap trees in Minnesota - same paddock as the fjords but the fjords left them alone. Here in Wisconsin two of my pastures have lots of trees. I am happy to say the horses leave them alone. There is plenty of grass to eat so that is most likely the reason, but, even in winter with knee deep snow the trees don't seem to appeal to them.

2010 Minnesota Horse Expo
This message is from: Linda Lottie
Good Morning, Fjord Fans!!
The Minnesota Horse Expo will soon be here. If anyone wants to advertise a
horse for sale, a farm, or a stallion please send to the address below by
{{{ April 15th }}} !!!
We suggest you offer a photo/photos and attach your business card to the sale
flyer...normal size paper, rather than just sending loose business cards.
The isle can be windy.
Our new location is on a VERY busy isle. Loose business cards are difficult
to manage. Photos of a sale horse or stallion are much more apt to be chosen
or looked at.
Send any flyers, brochures to:
Wild Wind Farm22735 Hanson Point RoadGrantsburg WI 54840
Secondly, we could use help on Thursday to get moved in and to set up our isle
and stalls. Start time: 10AMThere is no entrance fee on Thursday. Just
show up at our isle of stalls - # 70's
Any questions.email me @ horselo...@hotmail.com
Thanks and hope to see you at the expo.
Linda and Kristin

RE: salt lick, more pee?
This message is from: Linda Lottie Laurie...my guess is he is consuming large amounts of salt. Be very careful. A horse at a barn I boarded at years ago was eating WAY TO MUCH salt. His teenage owner just kept giving him salt and more saltnot realizing what was happening or the danger. I noticed his stall was just drenched, day after day...each horse had an auto waterere. Finally, the horse was loosing weight ..mind you, I did not know at this point he was consuming so much salt. ; The owner of the barn became involved, called the parents of the teen, and, literally saved this horse. Had it continued he could of died. So, keep an eye on him.

unmannerly fjords
This message is from: Linda Lottie Lisa and all; Just have to pop in here and comment on the unmannerly fjords written about today. I become a tad snarly when I hear of owners of fjords with feet that desperately need trimming and the manners of a wild pig!!! Tells me no one, nobody, nada has done one thing with them - just let them hang out in a pasture. Maybe the horses don't care. Just seems such a waste of a wonderful animal. Bless those of you who take them and teach them to be like the wonderful horses we all know. I have a Swedish Gotland rescue. She had been neglectednot physically abused - simply neglected. No contact, not enough food, and no attention to health, feet or grooming. When she arrived she was fearful and naughty!!! After 20+ years of owning horses her behavior posed a challenge. I personally like working with a horse like this - just enjoy watching their mind and body discover a new way. However, she has to this day - three years later - never really come to enjoy human contact. I know her breed is much like fjords.just smaller. They can be little pests, pocket sniffers, love attention and are easy to work with. At age 23 my Swedish simply prefers to hang out by herself or at a distance to the other horses. Once I get her in the barn she settles in and behaves but she sure does not 'crave' handling. Ingrained to be weary and not trusting??? I like her but she is not one I let kids and non-horsey adults be around. She has too many quirks and doesn't seem to enjoy their company. Poor girl. I remember the first day I owned my very first fjord. He tested me big timeI remember thinking, "What the heck did I buy here??" LOL Many of you know who my first fjord is.."FAIR ACRES SVEN"!!! He is a total sweetheart, honey-boy, darling, but, even HE decided to push the limits and use that big ole' head of his to check and see if I KNEW about "the fjord-to-grass dive" that nearly dislocates one's shoulder.. LOL This economy does not bode well for the unmannerly, poorly maintained horse. At the vet yesterday the gal at the desk asked me.."do you want any more horses?", and she was dead serious. Another beautiful day in NW WI..sunny, low winds, upper 40's...and November marches on. No snow and none in the forecast. Me = happy camper :) Linda with three mannerly fjords...until we unload at the MN Horse Expo :) Important FjordHorse List Links: Subscription Management: http://tinyurl.com/5msa7e FH-L Archives: http://tinyurl.com/rcepw Classified Ads: http://tinyurl.com/5b5g2f

future of fjords/selling fjords
This message is from: Linda Lottie Good Afternoon, List Have enjoyed the discussion of fjord types. I own three fjords. All three are mid to heavy draft. The youngest, gelding, age 7 has been trained to ride and drive. He is my daughter's favorite to ride..so, he has more experience under saddle than pulling a cart. This gelding is nearly 14.2 and a BIG boy with a huge head. There is nothing "fine boned" about him. However, my daughter thinks he is the BOMB!!! Why? He LOVES to canter. My daughter has NO INTEREST in driving. NONE, nada... She (and her age mates) are the future for fjord shows - and, future fjord owners/breeders/promoters. Young people prefer to ride and love to ride fjords. Frankly, I like to ride and will until I can no longer get my butt in the saddle. I also enjoy driving..and purposefully learned to drive knowing one day I would not ride. Young people (and more "mature" as well) want fjords that RIDE...WELL...all three gaits. They want to show their fjords and want them to be mannerly, collected. If you want to sell your fjord/fjords...have them trained to move well/collected at the walk, trot and canterriding and driving. Most folks do not have the skill, time or desire to work with a fjord to bring it to a place where it can be shown or safely ridden at all three gaits. I LOVE driving my fjord - but, we ride more. We have a choice..and for now, riding wins!!! Fine boned, mid-draft, drafty...matters not. A well trained, collected, horse at all three gaits is a joy to own and to ride. Confirmation and temperament paired with a knowledgeable trainer, IMO, will tell you what you need to know to fully enjoy your fjord or market your horse to the right buyer..and the right discipline. If you are a trainer...you are half-way there and can save a bunch of money :) JMHO on a dreary damp fall day in NW Wisconsin.

To Amy.....older horses
This message is from: Linda Lottie Amythank you for this: "Please try to stop and put yourself in Carol's shoes for a minute... (hypothetical situation) Winter is coming on and you have a 30+ beloved horse that is obviously declining (i.e. not getting around as well, maybe droppping weight, having a hard time getting up and down, etc.). Isn't it better to let them go now while you can get a vet out to them and get them decently burried? Or would you rather wait till mid winter when they may go down and not be able to get up, or get seriously sick, and the vet can't get out to your place because of the weather, and then, after having to suffer for who knows how long and finally dying you have no way to bury or otherwise dispose of the remains?" I am facing this decision today with my beloved quarterhorse...our first horse, having owned him since age 9...he is now, 27. With buldging arthritic knees, a severe heart murmur, and, teeth needing major attention beyond just floating I think about him every day. Our plans are to donate him to the University Veterinary College. It's just so hard to make that call... Your words have given me strength of reason for today.

RE: More heat wave
This message is from: Linda Lottie A question? Years ago I was told that after hosing down a horse that is over heated or to just cool them off it is important to use a sweat scrapper to get the excess water off the body because it will heat up and actually do the opposite of cooling them down Has anyone else heard of this? Does a "mister" douse the body with water of just get it gently wet? Not being from the south I know nothing about "misters". Maybe the info I got was just "hooey" :) Linda in WI > From: cori...@willowsedgefarm.com > To: fjordhorse@angus.mystery.com > Subject: More heat wave > Date: Thu, 30 Jul 2009 12:46:15 -0700 > > This message is from: "Corinne Logan" > > We actually shaved one of our mares partially yesterday to help her cool > down as she was showing signs of heat exhaustion.

RE: Foundered Fjord
This message is from: Linda Lottie Such a sad story, Corrine..another reason I rarely refer to fjords as "easy keepers". I have my three fjords out on the pasture with their grazing muzzles on all day and they still have plenty of "fluff" in their mid sections and even a bit of a crest :( I have not been able to ride or drive since early June which does not help. The quarter horse and appy are on pasture 24/7 and maintain their weight perfectly.THAT is what I call "easy keepers". Yes, I hope this fellow gets a forever home with an owner that will do what is necessary to keep him healthy.

RE: Vet Manners Happy Ending

I was unable to speak directly with my Vet when making the appointment, but left a message that I had been working with my horse and may need extra time with her, and would be willing to pay a double barn fee if things went long. > > > Monday morning came and I was pretty nervous. Anyway, the Vet that showed up was her husband. (The other partner in the clinic.) He usually only does small animals, but there he was! No handler. No stud chain. I instantly relaxed. I told him what I had been doing with my horse to make things easier and safer for everyone and said, "I beg you to work with me on this". His response was positive and I gave him a crash course in clicker training and in advance and retreat methods.Everything went swimmingly. My Vet seemed to have a easy time with it, my horse let out a big sigh and was wonderful, and I was on cloud nine. We worked on a loose lead, in an open paddock, and allowed the horse to move when he needed to. Both horses were standing calmly and quietly when they got their shots, and the Vet was done and gone in about 20 minutes. I was on top of the world the rest of the day. When my Vet was leaving I was thanking him (for the umteenth time! > ) for taking time with me and my horse, and hoped that we could build on the positive experience for next year.

RE: smaller Fjords
This message is from: Linda Lottie Lisa..that would be me re the Gotland. I have an aged mare that was neglected for years/rescued and rehomed to me.She is fat, sassy and happy...not used much, turned out with the others that are retired. We love her. Very sweet tempermant, willing, and great size. Not as much "horse" as a fjord, finer boned. IMO, the Gotland does not have the "presence" of a fjord. Hard to beat that.
