Re: groundwork
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Clicker training combines nicely with Parelli. I am a clicker canine trainer, and have used it with several breeds of horses. I consider my Fjords to be the Labrador retrievers of the horse world, so it is lots of fun for them. Tiny pieces of carrot are excellent reinforcement that won't add to our chunky ponies girth. There are several excellent books out there on equine clicker training. Sharon Abbott ** See what's new at http://www.aol.com The FjordHorse List archives can be found at: http://tinyurl.com/rcepw
Re: colitis? digestive upset?
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] We feed a program of forage and grain that is served wet and do not worry about impactions at all. It is a combination of alfalfa/timothy cubes, chopped forage and a grain mix of 30%whole oats, 30%barley, 30% wheat bran,and 10% black oil sunflower seed. The grain mix is made in small batches. Feed is prepared with the cubes in the bottom of the bucket, then the grain mix, then the chopped hay and additives. The entire bucket is soaked for a solid count of ten with a fine nozzle spray. The feed is then dumped into the floor pans for each horse to eat. This puts the chopped hay back at the bottom soaking up the most water. The horses adore this food and the slurping and lip smacking is a joy to hear. Long stem hay is fed in amounts related to the available grass and time of year. We have to be very careful here in Kentucky as the grass can be too rich and plentiful for our little air ferns. Most of the spring and early summer they have to wear grazing muzzles. I have finally created two dry lots by putting up 50 foot Priefert pens and getting them well grazed down. Fjords just cannot be kept ad lib on grass down here. This time of year, especially after such a dry summer, it is wonderful for them to be able to be out longer on the small amount of grass in the fields.

Re: fjordhorse-digest V2007 #221
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] The Circle Y flex tree saddle is excellent on these horses. There are a number of styles. The one I like best is designed for western gaited horses and is cut back in the shoulder giving lots of room. Go on line on the Circle Y site to see the many different saddle that they have available.
