RE: Shipping
This message is from: Gail Russell [EMAIL PROTECTED] This is the company I was talking about. I am pretty sure they are economical, and the vans are much more comfortable than a regular horsetrailer, especially in the heat. If you need help getting to Golden Gate Fields, I might be able to find a shipper locally. Or, it is conceivable we could haul the horse to Red Bluff or Redding and hand him off there. I am leary of trailering a horse without the right insurance, but we may be going that direction in a couple weeks anyway. Gail Carol - A company named Bob Hubbard does the I-5 trip almost daily.

RE: Shipping
This message is from: Gail Russell [EMAIL PROTECTED] Your best bet for commercial shipping might be Bob Hubbard's race horse shipping company. I live in Santa Rosa and have used them. To make it economical, someone needs to take the horse to the race track at Golden Gate fields. I shipped a horse several years ago from Golden Gate Fields in Oakland to a street address in LA area. Cost me $500 at that time. They haul up to Washington, as I remember, then keep the horse at the race track there until a shipment is going on to Vancouver. Big vans, with much more room than the average horse trailer. Possibly with AC, which might be a good thing as it is so hot going through Redding. It is a trip taking a horse to Golden Gate Fields to be loaded along with all the thoroughbreds. Later this summer we might have a stall going as far as Reddingbut, all in all, that probably is not the best plan. I think my barefoot trimmer told me about this horse. Well trained, as I remember?

RE: shipping boots
This message is from: Ardeth Obenauf [EMAIL PROTECTED] For shipping boots on my quarter horses I have always used Weathabeata's contoured shipping boots. They cover about 3/4 of the leg and are flared at the bottom to provide some protection for the hoof. When the smaller boots I bought for the fjords weren't large enough to fit around their chunky legs, I had my full sized boots modified to fit them. We took some off the bottom, and now they fit perfectly. The seam binding at the bottom was removed, about 2 was cut off the boot itself and the binding was put back on. They work great.

This message is from: Teressa [EMAIL PROTECTED] I bought cob size shipping boots from Dover - its their own brand and they often have them on sale. Teressa I have a question. I am looking for shipping boots, both the short kind that come up to and the tall kind that come over the hocks, for my Fjord who is 14.1 medium build. The ones that I've tried of the shorter kind that are pony size are the right height but are not large enough around. Any suggestions?

Re: Shipping Boots and Hi
This message is from: Fiona Lindsay-Delfino [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dear Genie, Hi. I just had my horse do a three day trip from FL to VT. He has front shoes only. I normally ship with standing wraps, but, because he was on such a long trip I didn't want his legs all wrapped up, and have the issue of them not being able to breathe if you will. I put bell boots on all four legs. And he was just fine. I also did this when he went from VT to FL, only on the trip down, I only put them on his front legs. If she were to step on a piece of velcro and pull the boot off, it becomes very dangerous at that point, especially if the shippers aren't going to rewrap polos or any boots...It is better for them anyways to have their legs beable to breathe if you will. Good luck... ~Fi Genie Dethloff [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: This message is from: Genie Dethloff Hello, I have been so busy that I haven't read the list much lately; I hope to get caught up soon.

Can anyone confirm that? I had a horse shipped from Germany to CA around 2 years ago and I can tell you what it cost more or less. Depending on how many horses are on the flight, it is cheaper to go with more than one horse, it is around $4000 to CA.

Depending on how many horses are on the flight, it is cheaper to go with more than one horse, it is around $4000 to CA. Of course, other locations might be cheaper. Then the horse must be in a quarantine station (by law) for several days and that cost $1,800. I don't know what the quarantine cost is in Germany. So I think a realistic price to ship might run anywhere from $2,500 to $5,000 depending on location of the cities and airports. Elaine Olsen

RE: Shipping costs from Norway?
This message is from: Dagrun Aarsten [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi Jean, I witt try to send a longer email later...sitting just now in a hotel room in Baltimore (nice place - I'm here with work) and going out for dinner in 5 min. I'll try to send a little fjord report from Norway soon. It's true that most of them are kept in a stall in winter, but most places have big turnout facilities and they spend most of the day out in the cold. There is a big difference between fjords who are kept at farms for some light work but mostly for decoration - and the active fjords in training and competition. I'll write more later. I'm by no means a fjord expert, but of course I've seen plenty of them. Didn't really start appreciating fjords until the summer of 99 - but now I'm hooked!

Here in Fairbanks, Alaska, my Fjords do so well in the winter just being outside with a run-in shelter.

Do folks in Norway turn their fjords out for exercise in the winter, and do they work them very much in the winter? Give us some details, if you can, please. It would be so interesting. I believe my fjords do so well here in Fairbanks because it is dry in the cold with very little wind when it is extremely cold., while in places where there is a lot of rain in the winter the fjords would need to be stabled.
