Wilbur and New Foal
This message is from: "Olivia Farm, Inc." <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hello from Olivia Farm, We did indeed get Wilbur in the mail and will be getting some photos of him soon, and yes, he can get a photo taken with the newest addition. Highland Prairie Tessa (by Smedsmograen) foaled a beautiful brown dun filly by Peppertree's Christian yesterday about 6 AM. She is very leggy and, we think, a well-put-together little girl. This is a first foal for Tess and our first filly from Chris, we are very pleased with the out-come. Personally, I'm thinking she is a keeper. I wish the weather was better and hopefully it will turn nice in the next few days so we can let her out into the sunshine. It is raining and cold, but it could be worse, not too far up the road it is snowing! Someday it will be spring!

NEW FOAL
This message is from: Michele Noonan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> After what seemed like almost two years of waiting.. We are proud to announce Two Rivers Kare has had her long overdue foal and WHR Elsker's last progeny. (or last hoorah, whatever you want to call it) Some of you may remember Kare's story I posted to the list. She was bred summer of 06 and confirmed by ultrasound on August 25th at 45 days bred, she had all her pneumabort shots and was kicked out into the herd with the other pregnant mares and WHR Elsker until he went to the trainers Jan 1 07.(We then gelded him a month later) Well Kare's due date of June 13 2007 came and went and we had the vet palpate her and he said, " Yes she is pregnant" Well another month went by and I called the vet and he said Hmmm, pregnant, different baby. When he came out again, he checked her out and predicted an early November baby. HAHAHAHAHA. She was as big as a dang house. Kare is almost 16 and this is her first baby. So remember my comment about Christmas Heat Cycles in mares?? Anyway,. We have a BEAUTIFUL, but odd looking.. RED DUN COLT (we have never had anything but a brown dun, so to us he was odd) There is not a black hair anywhere on him and he has other tell tale signs. He is SO furry and huge and is walking around nicely. It was 13 degrees outside and we were worried sick, luckily I only missed the birth by about 3 minutes, (Her labor must have been no more than 15 minutes) he was breaking out of the sack. We got them both inside and warm (too warm for Kare). The hardest part was for him was to find the milk thru her 6 inches of hair, it was quite comical. We had to move them to an unheated area that is completely weather protected and filled with warm bedding for the baby, because Kare was way to overheated after living outside all winter. The baby is very warm and dry and very active. Kare is incredibly easy and let us do whatever we wanted to him, at one point their were 4 of us in the stall. She is the most awesome mare. You would have thought she was an old pro. Anyway, I need some help in naming this new little guy. The gals at our local barn have been rooting for Elsker with less than appropriate, non norwegian names. Elsker's... and Elsker's Last...So email me some, more appropriate slightly Norwegian names PLEASE Enough Rambling for one day I am going to bed!

AS YOU KNOW IT... they slip a pregnancy and get recovered... last year was one of them... WE ARE SO HAPPY to hear you have a little one in the pasture and one more is on the way.

This message is from: "Olivia Farm, Inc." <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hello From Olivia Farm, We are happy to announce the very easy delivery of OFI Valdi, a lovely brown dun colt by Peppertree's Christian. We pulled his dam, Vies Vilde, out of the field at about 10 PM on Saturday evening and she foaled at about 3 AM Sunday Morning. A little closer than I would like, perhaps, but very non-stressful and we didn't loose too much sleep! This is our first Chris foal and we are very happy with how everything is going and how he is looking. We still have one more to go this year (we think!). We are in the same boat as Catherine Lassesen - at some point the mare reabsorbed and was covered by the stallion. Ahh, the fun of pasture breeding!

I stepped outside right after the birth and listened to the coyotes yelp and saw a shooting star in the western sky. We have another due anyday and we are looking for a name that starts with the letter "D" if anyone has a good one. If any of you have seen Bragi (our now three year old) at Blue Earth, this is a full sister to him. Bragi has taken all 1st's in his conformation classes there.

New Foal, S+R update
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi List ! Been working on a project so have been lurking here with no real time to post. I did manage to get in a pleasure ride today on a private ranch, up in the hills near our place. I rode Ayla who has had a few easy Search and Rescue practices lately, with some wet weather keeping us pretty much grounded. We trailered in as close as I dared without getting stuck and tacked up quickly with impending clouds making it pretty dark ! I was riding with my friend Catherine and her daughter.here for 3 months from Vancouver, Canada to help irrigate pastures for their familys sheep operation here in Cedar Valley. Erin is another wonderfully, well trained rider and she made her big ranch horse " Fred " look good. We headed up a steep incline with red sandstone rock making a Tera Cota look to the ground. There were two brown eagles swooping overhead and we saw plenty of deer tracks, but didnt manage to scare up the herd. There are signs of Native inhabitation everywhere. The ranch is located very close to Parowan Gap, a popular Petroglyph site with 100's of glyphs. If you walk and lookthere are many arrowheads, pottery shards and reminants of ancient dwellings. The petroglyphs are Fremont period to " modern " with many figures with wide bodies, long arms with fingers and toes and horns. Some have decorated headpieces or jewelry, along with many big horn sheep ,once found in the area, deer ( one I found with 2 heads ) snakes, footprints, water spirels and many of unknown meaning. We toasted my friends Birthday with smuggled wine spritzers ( that S+R pack holds MANY treasures ) on top of a red peak, overlooking Minorsville to the West, and Zion peaks to the East. Rain hit us on the way down, but held off with the big stuff until we had everyone back in the trailer and heading home. That 2.00 bright pink rain poncho I had, well saved my saddle from being soaked. Ayla stood her ground when I pulled it out and on, while my friends high maintence dressage queen horse snorted from 20 yards away. Next week we ride in town.stageing at a local downtown / college church, and seeing how we do in heavy traffic. Yeee Haaa ! Better get ready for the parades comming up this summer. New Fjord foal, PF Fjern is almost 2 weeks old now and doing great. Except for a scary 3 day bout with projectile diarrhea that took her to the vets, she is a healthy, stout, darkly marked filly.her mothers daughter. Out of Fjreda- C, and Fair Acres Nels ( Anvil's Steinfin ) Im giving her to my good friend, Linda Kluge in ID. She spent all evening racing through huge mud puddles and blasting kicks at her mommy, she is a tomboy and a beautiful Fjord, friendly girl.

This message is from: "Frederick J. Pack" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Good morning, Pack's Peak Stables is proud to announce the arrival of PPS Showman, born at 10:10 PM last night. It is extremely fortunate that I was there to assist as the second leg was bent, blocking passage of the baby. The first foot came out, then the right front foot, then the left front became visible but was NOT coming out at the same rate as the rest of the foal. When the foal stopped moving out, the mare jumped up to allow me to help. I straightened the leg and gently pulled the foal into my arms. He was on his feet within 20 minutes, nursing in less than an hour, and passing myconium within an hour and a half.

This message is from: "shawna smith" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Two weeks ago, Capstone's Petra had a healthy, big (40") colt. Mom and baby are doing great. But I'm still trying to figure out what color he is or is it still to soon to tell ? Both parents are brown dun but his sire, Hostar, has sired red dun before. I have been searching his forelock, mane and tail for dark hairs but haven't found any yet. Could this colt be a red dun? Or how long does it take for dark hairs to show up in the mane etc.? Thanks for any answers!! Colt has decided he really likes his rear-end and tail scratched and messed with but I might be getting a little obsessed..Shawna

RE: New foal and contracted tendon update
This message is from: "Skeels, Mark A (MED)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hi Steve: The vet did 2 injections, day 1 and 2 but didn't do a 3rd day. I think the problem with the injections not working were 2 fold. The first being the foal was in splints, which were restricting him from straightening out his hoof and lower joint, the splints because I screwed up when I originally splinted him, I left them on for 6 days, it rained and he got wet under the splint and some awful soars, real bad, around the back of the hoof, on the joint, all around, looked like raw meat. Never leave them on that long again. Things are looking better, we have been changing splints and medicating sores every day for 3 weeks now. Sores are almost healed up. Now he is walking upright on hoof properly, but when we take the splints off, it seems if the ground is un even, he may roll over on his knuckle, it is like the tendons on the top side aren't tight enough or they are stretched too much. Maybe a week or so more of splinting. We took one splint off for a day, he was walking fine for a couple hours but by next morning there didn't seem to be enough strength to keep from rolling. He stands upright and walks upright with the splints on, the hoof's are proper so I think we don't have to worry about the contracted problem. Just seems we have to strengthen the area.

New foal and contracted tendeon update
This message is from: "Skeels, Mark A (MED)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hi all: Just a little update. We had a filly foal Saturday morning June 1st. This foal was born straight and healthy, praise the Lord. So it may prove to disprove the nutrition idea, however the nutrition was different the last 4 weeks as they have been out on green grass for about 6 weeks now. Also the last couple weeks we have been feeding her the supplement. Don't know if supplements and nutrition that late in the game would make a difference or not. I did notice, the colt seemed to be larger than this filly. But I didn't actually measure so that is just by looks. Our other, the colt with contracted tendons we are still working with. May have waited to long for the injections, which we gave at the 2 week mark as he didn't seem to be improving, it didn't help at that point..so. we are still splinting and trying to get him to keep from rolling his toes over, if they roll over he seems to roll over all the way to his knuckle. If you are a praying person, please do. The vet is talking cutting tendons, that doesn't sound to sound to me, for the horse that is. Does anybody have experience with a mature horse after it has went through this procedure? I haven't really asked any questions yet, but it would seem to me that they couldn't cut completely, as this would cause big problems??? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Big storms rolled in, poured here last night and cool front came in last night, down in 50's, got a sunburn Saturday which was in 80's. Mark and Sandra Skeels Lord's Farm Fjord's
Re: FW: New foal, splints/tetracycline FOAL SIZE QUESTIONS

We also had a colt born with contracted tendons. He was a large foal - stood 41 inches WITH the bowed legs! He was a big guy all 'round, making the birth a tough one as his chest was so deep that it barely fit through the birth canal. This one needed gentle help to be born. His legs straightened out just fine - and he is STILL a big boy(I think he matured at around 15.2 and 1400 lbs.) His nickname is "Largie" - very appropriate. He achieved this size even though he was used as a stallion until he was around 7, then gelded. I wonder how big he would have grown had he been gelded younger? We also had another filly born from this same mare/stallion cross that had slightly contracted tendons in front. She was shorter - around 39" - but was also very large boned and had a longer leg-to-body ratio than usual. Possibly those longer legs didn't have enough room. There also was some discussion at the time that over supplementation of the mare during gestation might be the cause of the contracted tendons. We switched our supplements and stopped feeding "mare and foal" ration in favor of regular "COB" and had no more contracted tendons among our other foals. We always fed local grass hay - no alfalfa ever. Apparently it wasn't the protein that was a problem, but something else in the 'fancier' supplements/grain mixes. I don't recall just what the vet said could be the problem, but I do recall that changing the supplement/grain program seemed to solve the problem.

FW: New foal, splints/tetracycline FOAL SIZE QUESTIONS
This message is from: "Skeels, Mark A (MED)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I agree with the good information. Question about baby size. I remember the first three foals from this mare we measured, always thought they were so tall, but they were each 39 inches. Talked to another fjord breeder at the time, his were usually right around 39 inches tall, never seemed to be taller. I always thought mine were so tall, but when measured they were 39 inches. The first 3 foals didn't have the contracted tendons, the next 3 have. The mare had a year off after the 4th foal. This was her 6th. She is 11 years old. I haven't measured the ones with the rolled over feet. I saw 1 fjord about 8 years ago that was 41 inches when born, at Nancy's Fjord's in Bigfork Mt., but that was rare I think. Does anyone have any averages or sizes their foals were that had this problem?

New foal, splints needed for front feet
This message is from: "Nancy Hotovy" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hello Mark, We have also had a similar problem with one of our mares. Has produced 6 fillies and 1 colt for us and all have been over in the fetlocks when born, however this mare has absolutely huge babies with really long legs. Her babies are born larger than my colts that are already two months old. We have splinted a few of them for 3 or 4 days and have excellent results. A couple that aren't as drastric the vet has given tetracycline, also with good results. We also watch them closely and the farrier keeps their heels rasped down. All of these have grown up into performance horses with no problems and so far have not seemed to pass this one. This mare has also been bred to 3 different stallions. My vet feels the problem is in the size of the babies when they are born since the problem has always been very easily corrected. What is the breeding of your mare? I'm curious if any relation to mine. Mine is a daughter of Anvil's Haugull, Grand-daughter of King Gjestar - - very closely related to other mares we have owned that have never had this problem (also never had foals with the size this mare produces).

Re: New foal, splints needed for front feet.
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] This is one of the most common foal problems I see. It is a congenital problem and can't really say anything particular that causes it. I've had farms that may have one with contracted tendons and all the other foals they have are normal, so it doesn't seem to be their feeding or management. It just happens now and then. The best solution is to have your veterinarian give the foal an I.V. injection of tetracycline (3 grams). This will relax the muscles and allow the leg to straighten. I prefer this to splints because foals have tender skin and I've seen some very nasty sores from improper use of splints. There are an occasional severe case where I must splint or cast the leg, but most of the time the tetracycline does the trick. Good luck. Steve White, D.V.M. Waterloo, Nebraska
New foal, splints needed for front feet.
This message is from: "Skeels, Mark A (MED)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Birth report: I'm not sure if its a brown or grey. At first I thought it was grey, but this afternoon in the sun I saw some hints of light brown hair on its fore head and top of back. Very white otherwise, no stripes and black in main and tail, face is white and muzzle is whiter. Little boy. We have had a run of 5 boys. Have a question about front feet rolling over. I never had a problem in Montana with this but here in Wisconsin I have had 3 of 5 foals where the front feet roll over and the foal can't stand on its front hoofs. I have had to splint them, after about 3 days of splints then the tendons seem to have relaxed on the underside of the foot enough to allow tip toe walking until after about 5 days the foal walks normal. 3 different stallions so it's probably not the stallion. This mare has had 3 good ones and 3 with this problem. Could it be nutrition. Heres the basic diet. Summer just after bred, horses on pasture (kentucky blue, timmothy white clover mix) then around November the grazing stops and we go to timothy hay. Also have mineral block out free choice. Feed nursing mother sweet feed, 12% proten, about 3/4 of a crisco can. All the horses turn out good after the first week. All very solid with no feet problems. Any ideas, also how common is this? I have talked to one person with fjords who said they keep splints around for all new births as it happens allot on their farm too. That farm is in North East I beleive, ours is in Wisconsin. Thanks for any ideas: Mark and Sandra Skeels Lord's Farm Fjords

Congratulations on the new foal! It is wonderful that a 23 year old mare can still have babies with no problems. Just wondering, have all her babies been born at this time of year? Late in the winter or in very early spring? I just read in the book "THE REPRODUCTIVE BIOLOGY OF THE MARE" by O.J.Ginther, that several studies have shown that mares who foal in winter or early spring on average have longer gestation lengths than mares bred to foal in the summer! It appears that mares are able to make a limited adjustment in gestation length such that foals tend to be born in the apring! My mare Stella had her two last foals in mid summer (around the 1st of July) and she foaled two weeks before her "due" date each time! (I don't know what her record was for the first four...Anita?). I wonder if a mare who foaled "early" in mid summer each time would foal "late" if she were bred to have her foal in late winter? Or vise versa? Or does each mare do it on her own time table each time? Jean in Fairbanks, Alaska, where it will be sunny and +25 today! Fjords are starting to shed but have a lot of hair to get rid of.

Re: new foal - which is which?
This message is from: Arthur and Carol Rivoire <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hello Everybody from Carol Rivoire at Beaver Dam Farm in Nova Scotia - I've been scanning the List all summer, but been much too busy to contribute. Now, I'm still much too busy catching up on office work, not to mention all the outside work that needs doing this time of year, and then there're so many horses to work now that the summer help has gone, that I shouldn't even consider writing . . . but, what the heck, I need a break, so here goes . . . The discussion about identifying foals (was it colts?) caught my eye because I can't imagine not being able to see the differences. All of ours have always been quite different, one from the other. However, we never have a lot of foals. The most we ever had was six in 1994. Usually, we have two - three. The six were BDF Lara (Gjest x Heather-Solar) BDF Lillehammer (Gjest x Maryke-Hjerter-Knaeght) BDF Lancelot (Gjest x Yvonne-Lorentz) BDF Liv (Gjest x Holly-Solar) BDF Liza (Gjest x STine-Ene) BDF Laureate (Gjest x Uloza-Knud). 4 fillies & 2 colts. I remember all of them extremely well. Lara looked like her dam, Heather, who looks like her sire, Solar. However, Lara didn't look at all like her 3/4 sister, BDF Liv, whose dam (Holly) is a half sister to Lara's dam (both Solars). Lillyhammer had many of her dam's characteristics, particularly color. She was dark with lots of striping, and certainly stood out in the crowd. No way you'd mistake her for anybody else's foal. Lancelot was small, compact, upheaded with a beautiful little head, and he could really strut his stuff. A real individual! No mistaking that one. He and his half brother, Laureate, were both colts and half brothers, but you'd never mistake Lancelot for Laureate --- totally different they were. Liv was absolutely unique, and still is. She has a uniquely sculpted head with eyes to drown in. -- (We just had her here on consignment, and the first thing we all said when she got off the trailer with six other horses --- "Well, we all know who that one is, don't we!" We hadn't seen her for six years, but you couldn't forget that head. *** This is the filly who's in our ad - the one with the girl and horse looking over the stall door. A lot of people like that one. Liza - She was tall, elegant with great presence. Just like her dam, Stine. You couldn't mix her up with any of the others either. Laureate - Super sturdy, strong, compact . . . you knew he belonged to our great old mare, Uloza, an old-fashioned drafty type with big big bone. Six foals born within ten days of each other, as I remember it. Each one was an individual as all Fjords are. How could they get mixed up? How could anybody not knew which was which? Well, I admit it can happen. In fact, it can happen with older horses as well if you have enough of them and not enough time to spend sufficient "quality time" with your horses. And that's the answer. Time spent with your horses. Because if you do, you'll laugh at the perennial question newcomers always ask . . . "How can you tell them apart?" To those who do spend lots of time with their Fjords, that question is funny, because the answer is that --- "They're all different, very different in breeding, looks, size, conformation, attitude, ability, movement, sensibilities, and intelligence." One of my pet peeves in our early days raising Fjords were the people who advertised their horses . . . Fillies - $3500 Colts - $2500 Mares - $6,000 Geldings - $4,000 It still burns me, I have to say. EVERY FJORD IS DIFFERENT! During the summer, our Driving Vacation guests are first confused by all the horses. They all look alike to these people new to Fjords. However, usually by day three, these people know the various horses we're using and can pick them out of a field. And since they're all different, and are so from birth, what's the rationale behind pricing them like so many oranges and lemons? Really! Not only do all Fjords have different physical characteristics, but they're also very different in all the many ways mentioned above. That's why someone wanting to purchase a Fjord can't expect that all Fjords possess to the same degree, all the wonderful qualities attributed to the breed. In fact, it's the rare Fjord that possesses ALL the qualities to a high degree. The one that does, is a unique and valuable horse and should command a MUCH higher price than the average Fjord who posseses only some of the "wonderful qualities", or maybe all of them but on a scale of 1-10, only rates a "5" in most categories; ie, moderately well bred decent conformation adequate mover plain head fairly willing etc. But, I'm getting off on a tangent here, as is my wont. The point I want to make is that from birth, all Fjords are very different. They're born with a personality and character that usually doesn't change. They're born with a shape of head, length

CONGRATULATIONS Julie! Gosh, it's so good to hear a horse report.. the
List is so understandably quiet this week, but now of all times we should be
drawn together in our commond bond; the Fjord horse. I'm sure each of us
have found comfort and reassurance in their quiet and pleasant company this
week, why not share it? We need the release of sharing our love for the dear
Fjords of our hearts. Talking, and writing, is therapuetic for sorrow and
angst.
I was out this early morning looking at our foals, soon to be weaned, trying
to get a fixed profile on their identities so that when they're soon
separated we'll know which is which! At this time of year they can shoot up
in growth of a sudden and you have to keep an eye on them if there's two
that are similar = I heard of a fella that spray-painted his for ID and
I don't want to have to do that, ha ha.
Juli, that's neat the way you put the X in Flxtren, do you, or anyone, know
of any way to make those two dots on tops of letters for the European
pronounciation of some letters? (what are they called, "um lauts" or
something like that). I'd sure like to know.
There, I feel better... I wrote a letter ! Our best wishes for all of you...
hoping that there aren't any of you that are first-hand heart-broken. When
the terrible news came I found myself thinking of Merek... hope you're okay.
God Bless All!!
Ruthie, nw mt

This message is from: "John Bosomworth" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sunday morning Deere Country Bess presented us with her first foal. Deere Country Peppin showed up in spite of the fact that on Saturday night John said "She definitely won't be doing anything tonight".Both "mom and baby" are fine and we had a good night's sleep. Her little boy came with a wolly winter coat on.He is so HAIRY!Guess he knew winter wasn't over.He had trouble latching on because her teats are so small. Don't think God did his best when he designed the horse's nursing station. Foals have to turn their heads in such an awkward position.They really don't appreciate help either. Is it right that they nurse every 15 minutes 24 hours a day?No wonder a horse can sleep standing up. Our stallion "Turbo" is now a grandpa!

Re: new foal
This message is from: "cnielsen" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> hi Julie, I was wondering about Grey dun foals- our mare (brown dun) was bred to Karibou (Grey dun), how likely is it for our foal to be a Grey? I believe she may have the eyebrow you are talking about. I am pretty sure the mare has no greys in her background- she was one of Gene Bauers mares and I am pretty sure that he didn't own any.thanks for any info .

This message is from: "Julie Will" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Our last foal for the season arrived on Thursday evening at 6 pm. I was out of town on a family emergency, and Darryl got to do the "honors" of drying her off and imprinting. Her dam is Vanja, and I believe she was the first horse imported from Holland by Carol and Arthur at Beaver Dam Farms. (and is pictured at the airport in Carol's book.) She is a lovely dark dun "matron", 23 years old. As she neared the end of her pregnancy, she became very lame in the hindquarter, and was barely able to hobble out to the pasture and back. We (the vet, the farrier and myself) could find no obvious problem. Now that the foal is born, she is moving much better, and we are thinking that perhaps the baby was pressing on nerves. Vanja will now be "retired" for the remainder of her years. The foal's sire is Erlend, and she bears his "stamp" ~ upheaded, beautiful long legs, great topline. She doesn't yet have a name, but it will begin with a V, as we follow the Dutch system. Interesting to note that Vanja was born in Holland's previous "v" year! We are pretty sure this filly will be the color of her mom and not a grey, but we were fooled by Stella's filly, Vjuli, born May 2nd. We were pretty sure she was a brown dun, but in the last week as she has started shedding around her eyes, lo and behold, there is the distinctive charcoal "eyebrow" line that only the greys have. We are glad to be at the end of the foaling season with four healthy babies, 3 fillies and a colt. Julie ~ Old Hickory Farm

New foal in Fairbanks
This message is from: Jean Ernest <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> My friends, Walt and Joanne Brunner called me about 11:00 PM last night to announce the arrival of a new filly.Her dam is MILLY C-391 C-Z-340-M and the sire is PIPESTONE BOOMMER'S ANDER C-Z-340-M I will go out later to see the new arrival and take some pictures with my Digital camera. This brings the Fjord population in Fairbanks up to 15! Four of the five foals that the Brunners have had over the last 6 years have been fillies! We need another stallion up here now!
