In Henry's memory

REMEMBER ME
When you hear the thunder
remember me
for those are my hoof beats
upon your heart deep in the night. 

Do not fear the lightning
and remember me
for my hooves strike sparks
so you may see 
in your darkest hour.  

And when the rain falls 
remember me
for those are my tears of joy
as I run with the sky herd
free of rein and heavy burden.

Look up and remember me 
for you will see the shape of my 
head thrown high
among the clouds,
warmed by the sun but even more
because you remember me.

R.I.P. Henry

Heather, if you were nearbyI would wrap my arms around you and try to
carry some of your emotional burden.

Yeah Teressa, I remember coming upon that scene.
We thought some ET's had landed @ the outdoor arena @ Moses Lake and taken
over the horses...it was pretty cool watching your minions leaping to  fro
through the truck headlights!
Kmac , where I just got home from the Christmas eve carriage stroll w/ the
pair. All went well, lots of happy people at the party had their 1st carriage
ride. My fingers are still on defrost.

 Though I wish I had a video, my somewhat (ok, very) bad memory keeps
 replaying this scene.  Just before the Northwest Fjord Show this past
 August, it was too hot to school the horses during the day.  So Marg,
Ingrid
 and I took the minions (Zoe, Kristen, and McKenzie) back to the hotel for a
 swim and then to dinner so we could go back to the show grounds when it
 would be somewhat cooler.  Minions had on shorts.  Ingrid and I stopped at
 Wal-Mart to get yet more water so Marg and the minions got back to the
 horses sooner than we did.  Unfortunately, I had the key to the trailer
tack
 room, where minion breeches were kept.  It got late.  It got dark.  Horses
 still needed schooling.  Jumps had to be set.



 So schooling was in the dark, minions in shorts and tall boots.  Trucks
 arrayed around the arena with lights on to give some illumination.  Horses
 kicking up the pervasive fine dust so it was like a scene from a fairy
tale.
 Minions schooling fjords over jumps in the headlights, coming out from the
 darkness into swirling dust and spotlights trained on the jumps.  Fjords
 looking awesome in the scene.  Minions laughing.  All of us with huge
smiles
 having the time of our lives - even though we weren't the ones on the
 horses.



 Teressa in sunny but cold Northwest Washington - what were your best fjord
 memories of 2009?

site for Memory Plastic, saddle sizing

2003-09-28 Thread RkyMtnTrls
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

http://www.equimeasure.com/

This is the site for the memory plastic to help in saddle sizing.  Site says 
it's reusable.  Heat it up and it conforms to the horse's back - cools and 
retains the shape.

Thank you, Deb in Idaho from the HaflingerFriends eList, for sharing that 
very helpful site info!  You were the first person to post it - much 
appreciated!

This is the sort of thing I was looking for, to help in getting a good fit 
for my hard to size horses!  Think this should even work for ponies.  After 
all, 
not every saddle shop will allow to bring in the horse to check if the saddle 
fits right - like the Aussie saddle shop near me (won't let you!) which is 
the only Aussie saddle shop in my whole mid-state!   LOL

Memory plastic for Saddle sizing?

2003-09-27 Thread RkyMtnTrls
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

...There is one company that manufactures a memory plastic type of thing 
that you warm up in your oven and put on your horse's back.  When it is cold, 
it 
will retain the shape of the back...

This company is news to me!  This sounds MUCH better than the old wire hanger 
method!:-)

Seems logical that we'd put a sheet or such over the horse's back, then the 
heated plastic - am geussing, as I've never seen this before.  But, sounds 
WONDERFUL for getting a mold of the hard to fit horses (or even if there's 
just 
the question of sizing!) !!


Anyone know the name of this company, what state they are in?  Perhaps a 
website address, or even a phone # to contact?  

I believe this is something a LOT of equestrian folks would like to hear more 
about, aside from just my eager self!LOL

Memory?

Welcome to the Digest, Teresa. And congratulations on your success at the
Stallion Show, Joe.

The Fjord Memory story was great! I thinks Fjords in general have
exceptional memories, but that may just be due to my lack of experience with
other breeds. We did have a hilarious experience with Fjord memory here
yesterday. We are still busy trying to get set up at the new place, and the
next item on the agenda is setting up the phantom mare Tushie for AI
collections.

Now, as some of you may recall, Tushie is nothing more than  3 sections of
telephone pole covered in firm foam and lots of duct tape, much repaired.
Her black electrical tape dorsal stripe has long since fallen off. Well,
yesterday she was transported by tractor bucket over to her new location
near Erlend's paddock.

Out the window we saw His Majesty racing up and down and generally showing
off in his paddock. We thought the tractor might have spooked him, although
that would have been unusual. But, no, he was just delighted by Tushie's
unexpected arrival! He kept up this silliness for about 10 minutes - I
guess, even lying on her side, she was still irresistible Go figure.

I'm not sure whether this is a testament to his good memory or his
testosterone-lowered IQ, but we had quite a chuckle.

Still no foals.

Jean, you are right about selling animals short on memory, lots of other
things as well.

Although this isn't about Fjords 20 plus years ago I heard about a couple of
ships that were out on the Atlantic. Each ship verified, independently, this
sighting:

There were 3 whales swimming at the surface of the water. The middle whale
was being supported by the other two as the middle whale had been harpooned
and the other two whales were keeping it up.

It has always grieved me when humans act as though we have the lock and key
on compassion, intelligence, emotions, dreams etc.

I often have wondered what species really is at the top of the hierarchy.
Perhaps the food chain isn't the only measurement. :-)

I believe animals have much more in the way of a memory than we even begin
to give them credit for, call it anthropomorphizing if you will, but there
are countless stories of their grieving the loss of a master, or a pet mate.

There's a classic case right here in Montana, a favorite story of mine, a
dog story that really happened in the 1930's which portrays a devotion (and
a memory) that defies all rational explanation. A sheepdog's master died and
his body was shipped away. As the coffin was loaded at the train station an
onlooking dog was seen pitifully whining. Every day thereafter for 5-1/2
years until his death, the dog faithfully met each incoming train, searching
for his beloved master.

Old Shep, as he was known, has a bronze sculpted likeness as a tribute to
his faithfulness on a hill overlooking the abandoned tracks in Fort Benton,
MT.

Just one of thousands of illustrations of an animal's ability to love, and
to remember because of that love. Which of course includes Fjords as well!

  Several years ago we move our horses back to a boarding facility
  where they had been boarded a number of years earlier. The first
  time we went out for a ride on the trails through the forest, the
  horses seemed to be more comfortable than they usually are on
  unfamiliar trails. After a bit we came to a side trail which was
  actually a shortcut back to the barn. Even though this new trail lay
  in a direction entirely away from the barn, the horses tried to take
  it as if they remembered it was the way home even though had not
  been on it in thirteen years.

How much memory?

2003-01-23 Thread Jean Gayle
This message is from: Jean Gayle [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Last week a lady and her husband came to look at my Holsteiner mare that is
for sale.  We walked into the field where Gunnar and the mare were feeding at
the far side. Gunnar is very easy to catch, just stands wherever he is and
waits for you to halter him.

This time as we started into the field he threw up his head, ears stretching
up, and let out a squeal and came thundering toward us.  I told the couple to
stand still as he would not hurt them and it appeared he thought he knew them.
As he drew near he circled still squealing and the mare decided it was her
turn so she joined him in a great rush which set me back a bit. The visitors
must have thought it was always like this.

Gunnar circled several times and then stopped and went to grazing and I caught
him easily.
He paid little attention to the couple and I think he realized they were not
who he thought. It was rather sad.  I have had him three years now and he
had gone through quite a few owners being spoiled and mistreated.

I am sure he is waiting for someone, or simply thought he knew someone he
obviously cared a great deal for.  I wonder if anyone has ever done a study of
the memory of the horse?  Certainly being mistreated leaves a memory.  Jean

That will probably be Nansy's legacy---the people that she infected

one mare a few times---so her genes probably haven't spread very far.


I do only have one offspring listed for her but ULVAR 161-B did breed the 
same mare, Sala at least 7 times.  I have 6 mares  one stallion registered 
from this same cross.  Ulvar's son Sverre now has 24 offspring on the

 Over the last few months, the combination of her arthritis and
 Cushings was making her life more difficult.  Between creaky joints
 and loss of muscle tone, she could no longer get up by herself, when
 she laid down.  She solved this problem by not laying down for as
 long as possible (weeks at a time), then waiting patiently for us to
 come help her up.  Of course, since her getting up muscles weren't
 getting any exercise, she became increasingly less able to get up, and
 there was noticable atrophy of the muscles in her hind legs.  The last
 couple of times, she couldn't roll from her side onto her chest
 without help.

 Her appetite got increasingly finicky last week, then yesterday, she
 lost interest in food---would merely pick at her Equine Senior.  And,
 much of the day, she stood with her rump in a corner of the corral,
 letting the fence hold her up.  I wasn't surprised to find her down
 when we went out to feed this morning, and regretfully made that final
 call to the vet.

 Nansy was my first horse.  She converted my husband into a
 horse-lover, and taught him to ride.  She got us both thoroughly
 hooked on Fjords, leading to the purchase of our other two geldings.
 I retired her in 1990 (due to her ringbone), but she remained my good

Harold Jacobson, another icon of the Fjord breed in America, has passed
away.  Harold was well known as the man who imported Grabb, Dragtind, and
many wonderful mares, a true lover of the breed.  I'm sure many of you,
like me, purchased your first Fjords from Harold.  Over the last few years
he was plagued with health problems, and his grandson Brian took over the
herd when Harold and Dottie retired to Florida.  But even in retirement, he
never lost interest in the horses...how he loved to buy and sell!  For
those who would like to send a note to Dottie, the address is 606 Alliance
Court, Deland, Fla  32720.  God Bless you, Harold!  
 

Oh I am really sorry to hear this.  I never did meet Harold face to face
but I have spent many hours on the phone with him.  For people that don't
know it was Harold Jacobsen that started the NFHR.  It has grown now to be
the largest registry in North America.

Thanks Harold for all you have done for our wonderful Fjords.  You will
certainly be missed in the Fjord world.

Mike
