sleeping in my arms
This message is from: Cathy Dalton and Ernest Thompson [EMAIL PROTECTED] I worked with one of our geldings the other day, out in the fields. sigh It was not one of our finest hours - he was distracted - hay cut in the next field calling his name perhaps? The round bales over yonder just too interesting? Flies? As I was picking out his feet afterwards, back in the barn, I said to him conversationally, That wasn't our best afternoon, was it? I gave him a rub and then I put one arm over his withers, the other under his jaw. We stood quietly together like that for a short time. His head lowered and he fell asleep in my arms.

Parelli Fjords
This message is from: Cathy Dalton and Ernest Thompson [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi Fjord'n'Parelli Pals Just one month into Level 1 and I say somebody should make a comic strip about our favourite horses and Parelli... can you just picture this ... a) It's a Carrot STICK, not a %$#* CARROT!! b) This means BACK UP, not EAT the rope! c) About those missing pages in Pocket Book #3...It was just too close to Lornie's lunch time... ...I just started working on Pocket Book 4 - no chomp marks (yet). Even our 'Fredtacular' Fred enjoys Playtime with the Parelli games. Warm Regards Cathy, in (Norwegian-like) Ontario. The FjordHorse List archives can be found at: http://tinyurl.com/rcepw
Lukas
This message is from: Cathy Dalton and Ernest Thompson [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hello Folks I have had the opportunity to meet Lukas a number of times. Not only is he a beautiful looking fjord stallion, he carries himself with dignity and gentleness. I chatted with Liz Leader after Lukas left for his new home. As we drew up a tally of his virtues, Liz exclaimed, And wait 'til they (his new owners) drive him! Congratulations indeed to Lukas' new owners! You have one exceptional horse. The Fjord People/Family have lost a wonderful friend when Rick Leader passed away. My husband, Ernest and I, owe many thanks to Rick and Liz. They introduced us to the fjords; their love for these fine horses was infectious! And through them, we have 3 of Lukas' offspring. Fred, our Fredtacular gelding, must have inherited his sire's wonderful nature. We are enjoying a super time working with the 2 young 'uns, LeaderLane Lorne and SelinaSiri too. Many happy trails, Lukas. Many happy trails, Rick. Cathy The FjordHorse List archives can be found at: http://tinyurl.com/rcepw

Fw: muzzles for fjords
This message is from: Cathy Dalton and Ernest Thompson [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Original Message - From: Cathy Dalton and Ernest Thompson To: Fjord Digest Sent: Tuesday, November 15, 2005 6:07 PM Subject: muzzles for fjords Hello Esteemed Fjord People Would anyone recommend a muzzle for a fjord? Fred, our Fred-tacular gelding, is recovering from founder. We would like to put him out in the grass paddock - if only for a short while. Access to grass-as-lunch is a no-no for Fred. Right now, he is in a small sandy paddock. Any suggestions regarding type of muzzle, precautions, what to look for/what to stay away from - would be greatly appreciated. Cathy in Ontario ps I want to send a warm and heartfelt thank you to all of you who sent advice, experience and best wishes when Fred was suffering this past spring. What a generous outpouring. Thank you! pps Pictures of Fred are on the CFHA website at the present time...and the Alberta Fjord Horse Association site also. (How he loves the camera!)
very sore front feet
This message is from: Cathy Dalton and Ernest Thompson [EMAIL PROTECTED] Our 8 year old gelding, Fred (heavy draft model) has often been a little tender footed after the farrier's trimming. No trouble really - one day tip-toeing over the gravel - fine on a softer surface. This time it's different. The farrier suggested he has had some bruising on the sole towards the toe. (Both front feet) After the trimming, Fred was extremely sore. That was 3 weeks ago. He seemed to be getting better, though we felt he wasn't quite right enough to drive and ride. We have kept him away from the richer pasture too - thinking of founder. I have seen Fred standing with his front heels down, toes slightly raised. There does not appear to be any puncture marks on the sole. Our vet came by the other day and seemed to dismiss the idea of founder. He noticed some little lines on the sole from the toe towards the frog. He scraped at these lines, finding nothing out of the ordinary. Now Fred is limping worse than ever - he is resisting moving - even for carrots. (!) We have been soaking his feet in hot water with epsom salts. When I went to clean his feet yesterday, he bit me. Believe me, this is NOT like Fred at all. One indicator of founder is a faster pulse. We have taken Fred's pulse for the last few days ...and it's around 60. (According to one of our vet books, anywhere between 24 to 40 is normal for a resting horse) Perhaps this 60 is within the normal range for a fjord? Any ideas out there? Our Fred has always been healthy as...well... a horse. He loves to work. He really is a 'spokeshorse' for the fjord breed - patient, kind and has a sense of humor, very willing to try anything he is asked. I know he's hurting more today- I wish I could do something. Has anyone had any experience with bruised soles? It could very well be something else. I read that a poor farrier job can lead to founder. I wonder what the recovery time is... and what we can do in the meantime. Any suggestions or insight would be truly appreciated. Cathy and Ernie and Fred in Ontario.
