RE: fjordhorse-digest V2015 #38
This message is from: "Paula Rush" This is in response to Sue Freivald's post re: clipping or not clipping. I am boarding at a facility that heats the barn, but not the indoor arena. This question has been a real dilemma for me since I don't believe in blanketing. Because my mare, Anja, and I are working toward the upcoming show season, the work is strenuous. Anja is not clipped presently, but I am considering a partial/trace clip this week of the areas that get so sweaty and take so long to dry. Of course this means she will need to be blanketed after clipping since it is still winter here in Wisconsin. The areas I intend to clip are: her chest, under and around her elbow, down her sides (not her belly tho), across her flank with a band across her stifle area to the back of her leg. A minimal trace clip if you will. I really don't want to do this, but putting her back outside when she is still damp or wet isn't an option either. For her health and to get her the maximum time out of the barn, this appears to be the only option. Unless someone out there has a better suggestion...

Slow Feeders
This message is from: "Paula Rush" I board my mare, BHF Anja. I use ChinchChix (now HayChix) nets with grass hay. She is stalled at night and on dry lot during the day - no pasture time whatsoever. I feel badly about this, but I tell her it's for her own good. I have three of the mini nets (2 to 2-1/2 small bale flake size) which I keep full and switch out during the day. She has hay throughout the day, but probably runs thru the last net about 8 pm or so. I supplement with a cupful of Empower grass balancer am and pm. I monitor her weight every other week or so and this regimen keeps her right under 800#. She is 13.3-1/2h (that is an important 1/2 inch!). Use of the nets (this is a pain for the feeders, so I try to keep them stuffed myself) and the access to a dry lot were conditions of my board arrangement. I ride/hack or longe six days/week with one day off to keep her (and me) fit. This works for us. I only have one horse tho. Those of you with multiple horses have a real challenge to be sure!! So glad to see the list active again! FB just isn't the same. Too impersonal imho.

This message is from: "Paula Rush" THIS IS A SCAM!!! Received a similar email with a similar story purportedly from a friend - visiting in England also. I called my friend. She was home, but her computer had a virus that (apparently) got into her address book. From: Onna Kulaja Subject: My Horrible Experience .. This message is from: Onna Kulaja I'm writing this with tears in my eyes. I came down here to London, United Kingdom for a short vacation unfortunately I was mugged at the park of the hotel where I stayed, all cash, credit card and cell phone were stolen off me but luckily for me I still have my passport with me. I have been to the embassy and the Police here but they're not helping issues at all and my flight leaves in few hours from now but I'm having problems settling the hotel bills and the hotel manager won't let me leave until I settle the bills, I need urgent help.I'm freaked out at the moment.
