Terrifying Ordeal - Urgent Help Needed !!!!!!!!
This message is from: Rita Mae Muller I'm writing this with tears in my eye, my family and I came down here to Coundon Coventry, UK for a short vacation unfortunately we were mugged at the park of the hotel where we stayed, all cash, credit card and cell were stolen off us at GUN POINT but luckily for us we still have our passports with us but don't have enough money to sort the bills so we can get out of here. We've been to the embassy and the police here but they're not helping issues at all and our flight leaves soon but we're having problems settling the hotel bills, and the hotel manager won't let us leave until we settle the bills, I'm freaked out at the moment and wondering if you could help us with a quick loan, I promise I'll refund it once we get home. Please write me so i can send you the info for the wire of the money to save me from the embarrassment of not being able to cover the bills. Thanks Rita.

Emergency - help needed (OT)
This message is from: Linda Lehnert Hi, folks, I know someone who is moving from Canada to the Lake Chapala, Mexico area (near Guadalajara, Jalisco). Her SUV has broken down in Yreka, CA from pulling her cargo trailer through the mountains. She said she learned SUVs don't like pulling cargo trailers through the mountains. She is a former horse owner, but I'm not sure what breed, probably not Fjords. She is looking for someone to meet her in Yreka, CA and tow the trailer down to Nogales, AZ, then down to Lake Chapala. She will drive the trailer across the border because of the import sticker required by the Mexican government. Her SUV will be repaired by 1 December. Yreka, CA is on I-5 way north of San Francisco based on the map I found on google. I thought of contacting the List since many of you have horse trailers and tow vehicles. If someone could help her, it will give you an opportunity to visit a beautiful area of Mexico where the climate is one of the world's best. If anyone can help her or knows someone who can help, please send me an e-mail (lindalehn...@hotmail.com) and I will give you her e-mail address (I am on Central European Time 9 hours ahead of Pacific Time in the US). Thank you, mil gracias, Danke Schoen, magne tusen takk.

re: help needed hoof problem
This message is from: Emily Wigley <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Yasmine, this white softening at the top of the hoof (the coronet band) is normal and natural when there is an extreme environmental change to the wetter. Here in the Seattle area where it is quite wet, we get the same thing, and it's just the hoof's way of dealing with the increased moisture. No care is needed, nothing is wrong.

On the issue of the hoofs, I am sure someone out there knows more than I do but I just thought I would tell you that this same things happens to my Percheron when he is allowed to be in an irrigated (flooded) pasture. I was concerned about it too but as soon as the water subsides, his hoofs return to normal with no damage that I can tell. I don't think its a fungus or founder.

Re: Help needed Hoof problem
This message is from: Jean Ernest <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hi Yasmine, In the normal hoof, as it grows, there is a layer of thin soft tissue (like our cuticle?) that grows down with the hoof from the coronary band. When the hoof is dry it isn't very noticeable, but when it gets wet, this thin dead tissue becomes soft and more obvious. I think this is what you are seeing. You can probably scrape it off with your fingernail. Jean in Fairbanks, Alaska, too warm at 80 degrees today, with 21 1/2 hours of sunlight, will be 85 degrees on the 4th!

RE: Help needed, English saddle slipping sideways
This message is from: "Skeels, Mark A (MED)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hi Eileen: We had a similar problem. A couple suggestions we did. The first is we got a Wintec girth, the one we got is sorta soft rubbery type. Second, one of our instructors was using a rubber saddle pad they made on their Tennessee Walker. She loaned it to us and it worked great. Where we got the material was at Farm and Fleet. They use it in tool boxes to keep your tools from rattling around. It looks like very soft rubbery large mesh screen, about 3/8 inch thick foamy rubber that when you hold it up it has holes all over it about 1/4 inch in size. The mesh is also approx 1/4 inch cross hatch type stuff, sorta looks like a bunch of black rubber beads. Anyhow they have a piece about 2 foot by 6 foot. We folded it over on itself so the pad is 2 foot by 3 foot. Then my wife and daughter sewed them together with some sort of edging she got at Joanne's Fabrics. It was sorta hard to sew they said, as the rubber would want to stick to the machine and stretch some, but with a little patience, it only took a hour maybe to make and turned out real nice. The other thing we found is when we started riding the horse every day, and trotting or cantering about 10 minutes or so each day so the horse worked up a light sweat, the horse actually started to muscle up and trim down, lost maybe 150 pounds. That also helped the roundness factor. Gave my daughter a good workout too, and she toned up. A positive side benefit. Could also ride bare back some trotting and cantering if your saddle rolls, until the horse gets into shape. We leave the last inch or two of the main hairs long just in case you loose your balance so you can grab onto something while riding bare back, the last couple inches right over the whithers. If you ride bare back, your balance while riding will greatly improve, which would also help you in the saddle. That's about what we learned about the saddle slipping issue. I think sometimes we all have similar problems, and go about fixing them in various fashions. Sometimes what we do don't work, so we try something else. And it also helps to share ideas, which can help someone else go thru the learning curve a little faster. Mark Skeels Any suggestions?

Help needed, English saddle slipping sideways
This message is from: Eileen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hello All, I'm in desparate need of some advice. For the past month my vet and I have been both having problems with my saddle slipping sideways on my classic barrel-shaped mare. I'm using a wide tree (38cm) all purpose saddle which seems to fit her well. After searching the archives, I tried the Professional Choice girth, per Gayle W's suggestion. I also use one of those "non-slip" rubber pads you put under throw rugs. These have helped, but the sideways slipping is still really dangerous. I know it's not just me because my vet is an excellent 3-day event rider, skinny and *way* more fit than I am, and she's having problems. My vet has been cranking up the girth, which I hate to do. And that doesn't solve the problem. Yikes, we haven't cantered my mare yet, 'cause trotting is still such a challenge. Any suggestions?

For the past month my vet and I have been both having problems with my saddle slipping sideways on my classic barrel-shaped mare. Any suggestions? >Eileen Dear Desperate, Tell that vet to vacate your saddle, one per saddle is quite enough! HAH, just kidding! =))) We don't like the newer neoprene (sp?) cinches and feel that they are inclined to slip more, on the other hand... our son prefers them. (maybe it's a generational thing =)) but my husband says that he thinks they are also more likely to gall. It usually doesn't hurt to tighten the girth very soundly as horses seem to deflate within the first few hundred yards. Some claim they deliberately inflate in anticipation of the tightening girth, whatever the case... it's always wise to readjust the tension a short ways out. Sometimes people pull the saddle off center as they mount, if they use the saddle as leverage for hoisting themselves up... and from there it's on the way. (use a stepping stool instead if necessary) Could it also be that you are seated off center by maybe favoring one side (maybe you're reaching for the brake =))) Ruthie, nw mt

Is it while mounting, or actually riding? Technically (and I know we can all ride this well!) you should be able to stay in a saddle with no girth at all. It's all about balance and staying over the center of gravity. Sometimes the deep seated saddle and big pads riders use to feel more secure actually make matters worse, lifting you higher away from the horse. Now, I must loudly say that being skinny is not a prerequisite for being a good rider ;-) Also, you may be impressed with your vet's perfo rmance, but she may actually have balance no better than yours. If she's been riding razorbacked Thoroughbreds, she can get away with more weight shifting and less saddle slippage. My vet has been cranking up the girth, which I hate to do. And that doesn't solve the problem. Yikes, we haven't cantered my mare yet, 'cause trotting is still such a challenge. ** Sounds very much like a balance issue. Without seeing the horse in action, I can only guess that she is stiff and falling forwards in the trot. When this happens, you have no bending and the horse turns "like a bus" as a friend once said of her Standardbred. These sudden lurching turns will upset just about anyone. Good for you for not cantering till you feel safe. My suggestion would be to work on softening and bending for the horse and balance for yourself. / )_~ /L/L Brigid Wasson SF Bay Area, CA www.Brigid.Clickryder.com

Re: Nutrition help needed
This message is from: Jean Ernest <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> First of all, he needs to be separated at feeding time so he gets his share. And how old is he? When My 28 year old gelding shed out last spring, HE was shockingly thin. I started him (gradually) on a diet of Equine Senior with rice bran, Calf Manna and fresh ground flax, plus the digestive aid RATION PLUS. He has gained about 100 lbs and looks great now! Full of energy. I also am giving him "Next Level" for his joints. His teeth were fine and he got his hare of the hay, but apparently his digestive system wasn't processing the food well. The Equine Senior is formulated for easy digestion and the Ration Plus creates a supporting environment for the bacteria in the gut that digests hay. Addling oil to this also is good. So that is something they can do. Start slow, with maybe a lb of equine senior and the Ration Plus, plus a half cup of rice bran, etc. Gradually increase the amounts, in two feedings a day, and if he can't be separated to eat his hay, make several piles of hay will separated she can get his share.

This message is from: "D T" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> First I would like to say Happy New Year and I hope you and your Fjords stay well. I haven't posted in a long time but am wanting some advice. I know we have discussed nutrition backwards and forwards at times here but please one more time. I just saw a Fjord that a woman owns who is very thin. It is a frightening thought to think of a Fjord as thin. His spine is completely lacking fat. If it weren't for his hairy coat due to winter he would look somewhat emaciated. His ribs are well defined , to well defined along with his hips. He has access to stall and field. Lots of grass hay but was with another horse that continually chased him away from his food. This guy needs fattening up in a slow and healthy manner. There are so many opinons about beet pulp, oil, senior feeds, just giving lots more hay, adding oats, vitamins etc. What would be good to tell her. I have not seen a Fjord get this thin. He isn't so thin that on the rating scale used for rescues he demands to be taken or anything like that but he does need to take on more weight. Your opinions would be welcomed. Oh he is wormed regulary, no sand in manure, teeth were floated a few months ago etc. He appears to have no trouble with chewing or processing his food from what I have seen. Deb proud mom of Lars

Re: Help needed!
This message is from: Lori Albrough <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Under saddle has been a different story. I will take the time to post what my approach would be since I disagree with some of the advice given, such as not riding the horse for six months. This is my perspective: I feel that a horse learns to be ridden, by being ridden. Certainly riding in the indoor to minimize distractions is a good starting point. Next, start off your warmup as you want the ride to go. Three things: the horse must move away from the leg, he must give to rein pressure, and he must go forward. Those are your primary goals and you work towards them, not accepting less. Start your warmup with an active working trot, don't spend a lot of time in the walk, go straight to working trot, and do lots of circles, change of directions, serpentines, etc. Really work on getting the bend in the circles, a true bend through the body, not just the neck. Keep him busy. Don't do any transitions to walk, that can come later. Stay in trot and once that is going well, go into canter. You can do transitions within the gait, for example from working trot bring him back to almost-walk by slowing down your posting and then ride out to working, or do a few steps of lengthening then back to working. This type of thing is what keeps him active and his mind busy. Someone commented that the horse "knows" you are thinking of selling him, that's why he doesn't go well. Nonsense. What he does know and feel however, is if you are either tense or afraid. If he gets resistant, high-headed, quick, or whatever, and you the rider tense up, things are headed into a vicious circle where you each feed off each others tension. The rider must be, above all, a rock. Solid. No emotion, other than firm calmness. My coach tells me "You are his rock" and that is my mantra when things are getting exciting, sometimes I even hum in my head the Simon & Garfunkle tune. The horse is a herd animal who takes his direction from his leader. Be that leader and act like you want him to act. The rider shouldn't care if the snow is falling off the roof, the other horse in the ring is having a bucking fit, and there is a dogfight out the door, you ride your horse, you concentrate on making him go forward, bend, move off your leg and give to the bit, and that is really riding. If he gets tense, bend him left/right, do a few steps of leg-yield, ride a volte, whatever, but put him to work and keep him busy. Don't walk, don't halt, only ride forward in trot or canter and work on regulating the rhythm, tempo and bend. Walking and halting give him too much time to reflect on his own agenda. A free walk on a loose rein after a good twenty minutes of trot and canter warm up, at a point when he is going well and attentively, is a wonderful reward that a horse can understand. Give him a sugar cube too at this point if things have gone well. Then pick him up and proceed with your work, always keeping him busy, and by this point you can generally add transitions between walk and trot and some walk work, because you have the horses attention. If the problem is resistance, you must use your whip or spur to reinforce your leg aid and don't accept anything less than an enthusiastic response to the leg pressure. The first time you use the whip to reinforce an ignored leg aid, the horse may leap forward (good reaction) or buck (at least he reacted) or ignore you (not good). Don't let him ignore you and don't pull him up if he leaps forward. If he bucks just ride it out and next time he will react to the leg aid because he will know you are serious and that you expect a reaction when you give an aid. It doesn't take a smart horse like a Fjordhorse long to figure out when the rider is serious. Lori

This message is from: "John Rooker" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> We purchased a 10 year old Fjord gelding in May of this year. He is a beautiful horse with a very good pedigree. Prior to our purchase, he had been a family horse, kept with his half brother, for about 8 years. In the little two horse posse, his half bro was the leader. Early this year, the pair was sold to a Fjord horse farm and placed into a professional training program. Both were doing well in their training when we began our search for a new horse. This is when we found him, fell in love with his appearance and the description of his character and purchased him long distance. When he arrived, he was understandably nervous (and noisy), but seemed content in his new stall (we board). He was turned out by himself, within sight and smell of the herd, for a couple weeks before being integrated into the herd. He has now been a part of the herd for three months. >From the start, he has shown a fairly strong case of separation anxiety when >being asked to come in from his herd. We've done in hand work with him to try >to work some of this out and have had some limited success. When he first >arrived, his stable manners were pretty bad and he showed little respect for >people. We put in a considerable amount of work on that and now have a horse >that is very well behaved and ties, washes, has his feet handled, clips, etc >very well. You can also lead him in from the most distant pasture without >resorting to a chain across the nose as he now leads quietly and willingly. >OK...that's the good news.. Under saddle has been a different story. On a few rare occasions, the sun and moon and stars all align to his liking and we see just how wonderful this horse can be..but those days are few and far between. The norm is a very resistant horse that is willful and not respectful of his rider. Lessons in an outdoor ring usually include at least one attempt at a bolt and constant resistance to direction. Indoors, the potential for a bolt attempt is greatly reduced, but the resistance is still there. It is worse when he feels totally alone, so the herd bound issue is surely playing some part in all of this. We have had some good rides outdoors when the herd in in a nearby paddock and similarly, we've had some good indoor rides when a fellow boarder's horse, recovering from lameness, is out in the arena. In terms of tack, we pretty much duplicated what was being used at the training facility: KK Ultra loose ring snaffle, WinTec Pro Dressage saddle with Xtra wide gullet. The saddle appears to fit like a custom saddle. I should also add that my wife and I have been sharing him for the first three months. Each of us would take him for a week. We get to ride three days a week. However, I just bought a new TB mare and the Fjord is now my wife's full time concern. We are very close to sending him back to be sold if we don't find some key to success. We have seen what he is capable of doing, albeit briefly, and that has kept us going. :) Our experience is not extensive,but we've owned horses for 13 years and the new mare is the fifth horse we've owned. Currently, we have just the Fjord and the TB. I have contacted some of you privately for your input and I really appreciate the time that you have taken. I apologize for the length of this post, but I wanted to try to answer as many questions as possible. If you don't want to clutter up the Fjord list with a lot of replies to this..please send them directly via email. We really want to keep our Fjord!

This message is from: Jeri L Rieger <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hi All! Here's hoping you can help me! My 3 fjords are being boarded for the first time in their life and they are about to be kicked out!!! Yikes- then where would I put them? They are going through the fences, electric top wire with no climb wire. Tana, I believe, is the ring leader. They are/were used to having about 20 acres free roaming space and are now down to about 3 acres. THey are being feed hay and are keeping their "wedgie" figures, salt and fresh water, shelter are all available..but the grazing isn't what they are used too. I think that they are bored and are smart enough to go looking for "fun". Tana is just pushing the fence over, if she gets stuck she just stands there! You can do anything to her, cut wire, pick up feet, she won't move until you tell her too. Mind you, she's not that good when she's not in the wire! Regardless, I need to keep them in and off the fencesHELP!! Jeri in Washington,Mo. where it is not suppose to get above 50 today and the Idaho-transplanted Fjords are loving it!!!

I'm sure she will be a great "help" to her knew owner. Mary = Mary Thurman Raintree Farms [EMAIL PROTECTED] __ Do You Yahoo!? Bid and sell for free at http://auctions.yahoo.com

Help needed in Kansas City this weekend
This message is from: Cynthia_Madden/OAA/UNO/[EMAIL PROTECTED] I am leaving early tomorrow morning (Friday) for the KC CDE at Longview Park. I have an emergency. My navigator got thrown from a horse she was training last night and is badly bruised (no broken bones, thank goodness! and it was a quarter horse). Anyway I am, at the very last minute, without a navigator! Any Fjord people in the KC area interested in doing a limited marathon (5.5 km-Section E only) with me on Saturday? I need someone who is not a afraid of a little bumpy driving and whose weight combined with mine won't outface Tank in his first and barely ready effort. No marathon experience necessary - what the heck I don't have any either. We will just have a good time and make a good effort! I have contacted the event secretary for help in finding someone, but I thought I would see if anyone on the list might be in the area. Contact me immediately if you are interested.
