Acorns and SF Atom
This message is from: "MICHAEL JOHANSSON" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Quite a few years ago, my mare pigged herself on acorns and got very fat. She really was the only one in a large herd who decided they were a treat. I discussed this with my vet and the concern was for founder. As with any nut, acorns have a high fat content. She was put on a diet and ended up being fine. I own SF Holund, who looks very much like Atom. They both share the same sire, Holunder. A years ago Holund was Overall Reserve Halter Champion at the Woodstock show, he is a very handsome boy with great conformation. I am glad to see that Atom stayed in New England, if you are ever in the Lakes Region of NH, look me up. Jennifer Johansson

Round Bales
This message is from: "michael johansson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Looking for opinions on round bales. Due to poor quality of local hay this year (weather conditions created dusty hay) we have purchased several round bales to try out. When I inquired to several people on how they liked the round bales my main concern was a Fjord with hay in front of them all the time could get really huge. All replied that once used to the fact that they would have free choice that horses will pace themselves. Of course I replied "You don't know Fjords, do you?" Anyway eat eat eat seems to be all they do. They are on their second bale and I am still waiting for them to pace themselves. I continue with a small amount of grain each evening so they get their Vit E and Selenium but don't know how long I should give them to figure this new schedule out. I really do not want them getting fat. I was so proud, and so was my vet last spring when they looked great. By the way right now we only have two Fjords. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks Jennifer and Michael Johansson
Re: Myopia
This message is from: "michael johansson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Congratulations to Mame. Knowing Mame personally in her early life I am very happy she is doing well. She was one of my favorite at my folks farm(Skoal Farm). I loved her body style, brain and spunk! Way to go Mame!

News from NH
This message is from: "michael johansson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hello all. I have been reading the list for several months now but have never actually written. First, as President of the Northeast Fjord Horse Association, I hope to see many new faces this week at our annual show in Woodstock, VT. Entries and correspondence so far indicate what could be our biggest show yet. Lets all hope for good weather! If any one needs any information regarding the show, please contact me through my e-mail ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) or call our Show Manager, Allyson Beck at (802) 457-2476. On a personal note, I took my 7 year old mare SF Elza (Holunder X Evon) to a local fair this past weekend. Elza did me proud by bringing home the Adult English Championship. Among other classes we placed second in Pleasure against fourteen other horses of different breeds. Elza was at her best and prompted many people to approach and inquire about the breed. Fjords are like magnets at open shows! One parent of a 4-Her asked me if I knew of any breeders that gave a discount on price to a 4-H member. Has anyone heard of this or actually do this? I look forward to the day when I am not the only Fjord owner at a show. Hope to see many of you this weekend August 28th and 29th in Woodstock! Best Regards, Jennifer Johansson
