Hi Jeanine!
 Welcome to the Fjordhorse neighborhood!  I know you and Tira will have 
lots of fun together.  She will provide all the experience you need although a 
good riding coach is helpful too.  And the rescue of elderly horses shows you 
already have a good heart which can't be taught.  Tira, her goat friends and 
your future Fjords are very lucky!

 The wonderful thing  about the list is that I remember when Tish was
 contemplating her move and selling Elph. Several people, piped up that
 there were horse facilities in the San Francisco Bay area, which I think
 may have facilitated Elph's move.  The problem with Facebook is that I do
 not want that many friends.  A few is fine, but not the numbers that
 there are on this list.


Since we are all getting older, a lot of the list's utility has been to
help people with life transitions.  In fact, I am now faced with a
diagnosis of osteoporosis, and am struggling with the medical system to
define a management plan so that I do not have to do what is first
prescribed, which was, go on drugs, stop doing anything risky, don't worry
about the horrific side effects.  While I may have to go on drugs, and cut
back on some activities (I am thankful that I bought an AIRVEST for
riding), I think this is not the sentence the doctors originally gave me.
I am working with a woman in the East San Francisco Bay Area who is a
doctor who was in a similar position..with a similar diagnosis, and an
addiction to roller skating!  Will keep the list posted on what I find out,
as it is appearing to me that conventional treatment of osteoporosis is so
heavily reliant on drugs that there is not a measured approach that
involves careful management guidance along with timely usage of drugs.

Hello Saskia from Saskatchewan, I love the alliteration!

It appears as though you have come a long way with your Fjord.



As far as the bolting goes, I'm sure you have had her teeth looked at to 
make sure there are no problems with her mouth.  Another cause of her 
bolting could have been bad saddle fit.   I read an article about a mule 
that suddenly started to bolt.  He was a very calm animal, but started to 
bolt for, what his owners thought, was no good reason.  Upon further 
investigation, they found he had 'kissing spines' or spondylosis.  The mule 
became so fearful of the saddle that he bolted to get away from pain, and, 
after he ran away, he would just stand there and tremble.  I don't know if 
this happened to your mare at the trainers, but an ill fitting saddle could 
have been a factor to cause her to bolt if it pinched her withers.




Good luck and keep up the good work,

Mary



Freya has a bolting problem, developed after I send her to a regular 
trainer
that I thought was a good trainer. She started to bolt during the 5 weeks 
in

training, probably caused by too much pressure and the pain of a bit,  and
when she came back home, she was changed from a calm horse into this 
nervous
horse that thought she had to run all the time.

Thank you Mary,
I had her teeth checked and they were fine. I don't think it was saddle fit 
problem neither. It was just the bit. She did not like the bit from the 
first time the trainer put it in, as the trainer told me she started to run 
right away and kept trotting around, something she had not seen with all the 
other horses she had trained for the bit. The bit was also tied with reins 
to the saddle so she would 'learn' to give to the bit. I think the steps 
taken were too big for Freya and overwhelmed her, plus there was no trust 
between Freya and the trainer. The trainer pushed Freya too much IMO.
I ride Freya now in a bitless bridle, and with a simple western saddle, 
synthetic. And I don't push her, I just ask her little steps at the time. no 
bolting anymore neither since I re trained her with clicker training. We 
have now a very good way to communicate. Freya is able to tell me now, when 
she understands a task, or when not, with a little nicker sound. (she 
actually started to talk to me when I started clicker training) It really 
helps with her training, as that still continues.

Hi everyone,
I just want to introduce myself. My name is Saskia, I live in Saskatchewan,
and I own 2 horses. One is a 7 year old Fjord horse mare, Freya , and the
other one is Flicka,  a pony mare of almost 9 years old,  that looks like a
New Foundland pony.
I bought Flicka green broke 6 years ago, and she’s my riding horse since
then. She’s a sweetheart and very reliable.

I bought Freya, my fjord horse untrained. In fact she was never handled. The
only thing that was done with her was chasing her into a chute 2 times a
year,
where she would be tied up so they could shave her mane. She was never
touched
by a farrier so her feet were very neglected. When I got her, she was a very
scared mare, didn’t trust people. But I worked almost daily with her and
won
her trust. It took me 6 months to get her ready for a farrier so he could
take
care of her (cow) feet. So in a way you can say she’s a rescue horse.

Freya has a bolting problem, developed after I send her to a regular trainer
that I thought was a good trainer. She started to bolt during the 5 weeks in
training, probably caused by too much pressure and the pain of a bit,  and
when she came back home, she was changed from a calm horse into this nervous
horse that thought she had to run all the time. On our 3rd ride she bolted on
me and jumped my wire fence. I fell off and lucky got only hurt a little,
Freya was ok. I left her in pasture for 6 weeks after that, then re-trained
her with the courses of Leslie Pavlich. Since then she never bolted on me
again and I could ride her again in a calm walk and since last summer we are
even going into trot without running off. Plus I never put a bit in her mouth
again. I ride her in a bitless bridle.  We take little steps but that’s
ok.
I’m not in a rush. I just enjoy our journey.

I got to this list because of Rovena, who owns a mule and a fjord horse. I
think it’s great to have contact with other fjord horse owners and exchange
our experiences with our beautiful fluffy equines.

It's working.  My thoughts are that we are all so busy getting ready for 
winter or recovering from WEG that there is little time to chit chat on 
the List.  Since getting my one bionic knee and having the other shot up 
with cortisone, I've been running like a chippie getting ready for 
winter.  To make this Fjord related, I had a nice long drive with Heidi 
one day this week and she did quite well with bare back feet.

Your problem is fairly common, simply because Fjords are so intelligent 
and many are not taught to lunge properly.


Your idea is on the right track. You need to break down the act of 
lunging into smaller steps and teach her that what you really want is 
for her to stay in a circle around you. Let the canter not be the most 
important thing. Use small circles at first, just so she gets the idea 
about staying with you. Gradually work in larger circles, greater speed, 
until you are sure she understands and won't leave. Then maybe try for 
the canter.


I would use the round pen, only for easier containment if she decides to 
leave you again. If she does leave, don't punish her, just start over 
and take even smaller steps.


You did not say how old your mare was. If she is young, you must be very 
careful not to do too much of this work because it can damage developing 
joints.


Good luck and have fun,

Beth

I have had a problem lunging my fjord, Elise. I bought her from a woman that
let her children ride her on trails. As a result, Elise learned that she does
not have to canter. I thought starting on a 60 foot lunge line would remedy
this, but instead she is so strong that when I ask her to canter she pulls
away and the line is pulled out of my hands ...and I am a VERY strong person.
I have tried lunging her in the 60 foot round pen but I do not think this is
going to work. I am wondering if I should just do lots and lots of slow
circles, some at a walk, some at a trot. ...But I really need some input . I
want to get her cantering away but I want to do it right. This is very
frustrating. She has a lovely slow trot.

RE: hello again

[laura fisher]

This message is from: laura fisher laura_fishe...@hotmail.com

Hello Beth,

I think I will take your advice to heart. when I get home I will take her back
into the arena and try a walk and then a trot on the lunge line. I think that
will go fine. I willl ride her in big/small/traveling circles all over the
place and I will go around the poles (trot) and other obstacles so we don't go
crazy with boredom. ...I am a little leery of trail riding but there IS a
trail on the valley road that  I have taken her on by myself- ( again, she did
some testing, but not much) -and I think I should ride with a friend first
before going it alone. Unfortunately we do not get cell phone service here,
but that road gets lots of traffic (slow).

The reason I am anxious to not use the round pen into the winter is that I
live in a temperate rainforest and my pen will be under ground shortly. I CAN
bring it indoors but it will eliminate all that cone/pole fun. If I have to I
could move it in and then take it out when she has gained her balance and is a
good girl...The round pen would turn into a 40 foot ( ten feet each side)
instead of the 60 and I think the larger the circle for cantering the better.



I am hoping that after enough circles while I am riding her and what not there
will come a time when she will just break into a nice slow canter on her own.
Wishful thinking?



I used alot of ground work to get my Morgan to respect me. I just wasn't able
to get us working together. I have had him   for three years. He was a stud
for five years before I bought him and just couldn't shake the dominaton
thing. I have a trainer who comes in to ride him and I have just put him up
for sale. He is too talented and beautiful and an advanced person needs to
ride him. He loves always being given a challenge he can focus on.



I wanted a Fjord because I hoped that  I would not have to be constantly
vigilent every time I want to ride her. PLEASE say this is true...I do love
ground work and am looking forward to starting it., Elise is very stiff and I
can tell she knows nothing about it. I use a little bit of everything.

I am feeling so much better talking with you. I  am not ALONE

 temperment. I have had a couple rides on him, in controlled  
 settings, as he does not have a lot in the steering department, but  
 we are working on it. I am as green as he is, so we are in the  
 learning process together. He is a great little fella, and I am  
 thrilled to own him.

 I would be happy to hear any advice, Fjord tips, or Fjord resources

 Nice to meet you all!

Welcome Kathy and Willi! I live near you in Columbus NC, and have two 
handsome boys of my own; Woody is a 26 yo brown dun, and Asti is a 10yo red 
dun. They just finished their summer job at FENCE in Landrum where they 
worked the two week horse camp for kids. They were a big hit, and loved it 
as they had to miss the Fjord  FRiends Fun Fest in Blowing Rock this year 
since I had a vacation scheduled.
You'll have to plan to go to the  next year since Blowing Rock is only 
alittle over two hours from you. Lee Hardin will tell us all about it in the 
early Spring; it takes place in June and has lots of fjords and fjord stuff 
to do.
I've also got a friend who lives nearby who went to the  with me in 2008 
and was so blown away by all the cute lil guys that she came home and bought 
one of her own! So if you ever want other fjordies to ride with, let us 
know!

This message is from: PHILLIP Odden n...@norskwoodworks.com

This Message is from Phillip Odden in Northwestern Wisconsin.

I have to agree with Laurie and Linda. The weather these past weeks  
here in Northern Wisconsin and Minnesota has not been good for riding  
or driving. I was working ponies regularly up until about three weeks  
ago but I gave in. The days are short, the temps are low and wind  
seems to blow constantly. Even though I have a nice big indoor arena  
now I decided it was time for me to take a break and it wouldn't hurt  
my ponies to have a break as well. I turned the adult horses out to  
pasture in one big herd. I put a bred mare Aina in a paddock with  
Smedsmo for company for the winter. The two grays seem so happy  
together. We can see them from our kitchen window and from the windows  
of our studios in the barn.

I have been spending my time making a new sleigh. This one is much  
like the sleighs I have seen in museums in Norway. It is made for one  
person to ride in, built close to the ground with a wide stance. The  
sleigh is decorated with traditional acanthus leaf carvings that are  
painted in transparent red, yellow, and green. The arm rests end in  
dragon heads. It is very light weight. The runners and arches were  
steamed bent and laminated. I will use my Norwegian harness with  
wooden shaves. The saddle on the Norwegian harness has a carved saddle  
with dragon heads. So, I have been spending my time dreaming you might  
say. Yesterday I put three other sleighs on the ground. Well a bob- 
sled and two sleighs. One of these days the weather will lighten up  
and I will break trails for the sleighing season.

When the weather straightens out I will have to hold some interviews  
to see which of my show horses works best on the new sleigh. There are  
four or five sleigh events within driving distance each winter. My  
first rule is that it has to be fun to show or it isn't worth it. If  
the temperatures are too low or the wind chill too high we won't go.  
But that means we should make two or three of the sleigh events. I  
expect the gelding Beorn will be the best of the bunch to pull this  
little sleigh.

So, it doesn't hurt to spend some time dreaming and making plans. In  
fact way out on the horizon I can almost see next summer and I have  
been thinking which CDEs, pleasure driving shows, and new trails I  
want to explore. But for now we are hunkered down and taking it easy.

Merry Christmas to every one.       Phil Odden

The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears,
The figure she carries, or the way she combs her hair.
The beauty of a woman must be seen from her eyes,
Because that is the doorway to her heart,
The place where love resides.
The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mole,
But true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul.
It is the caring that she lovingly gives,
The passion that she shows.

Hello Birgit,
 
Thank you for your wonderful post!  It is really very helpful to hear  the 
insight from someone who understands the system so thoroughly, plus has  access 
to all of the old documentation!
 
Could you clarify as to what you mean by ranked in quality?
 
Is it also correct to say that at the time of this ranking, the 4 year old  
stallions, regardless of quality, could not receive a higher than 3 pr.?   Is 
this due to the need to evaluate their offspring or to re-evaluate the  
stallions themselves once more mature?  I just want to make sure I  completely 
understand your post.  :)  
 
I take it a stallion does not need to rank in quality to be issued a  
breeding license?
 
I think some of the confusion lies in the fact that we give ribbons versus  
just scores plus we do not have a system to where the stallions are brought 
back  to be awarded licenses.  Because of this, I imagine it is really easy for 
 
us as Americans to assume a 3 pr. is similar to a yellow ribbon here, or a 2 
pr.  a red ribbon, or a 1 pr. a blue ribbon.  It sounds like the only way we 
can  do such a comparison is with a stallion from Norway that has gone through 
the  entire Norwegian evaluation system.  However, even that might not be a 
fair  comparison for if I remember correctly, Norway has a system in place to 
evaluate  the offspring of the stallion, yes?  So if the stallion does not 
produce  quality offspring his license is eventually revoked? 
 
For us, a stallion will always retain a blue regardless of offspring  
produced.  
 
Birgit, I would appreciate any clarification you can offer.  Thanks so  much 
for your post, it was really helpful!

Daniellefounder is caused by overeating usuallyfjords are 
easy keepers depending on what you think is easy.  They, normally, cannot 
be turnedout on 24/7 lush pasture.  They never stop eating.  The very best 
program for them is GRASS hay..three times a day..with a handful of 
oats (because they are so sweet and wonderful) and minerals, if you choose.  
This time of year I feed grass hay in the morning and turn out to pasture 
all day..there is not much left of the pasture so they don't get much 
but are happy to snip away at the little grasses:)  Then, evening I give a 
flake or two of grass depending on the weight of each fjord.


I think a better choice of words is inexpensive to keepany grass 
hay will do.swamp hay is the best for a fat fjods.lots to munch but 
not much caloric value.


Good luck..where do you live?   When do you think you will get a fjord?

It sounds maybe common for this to happen? How do you combat this? In my
area mainly alfalfa/grass hay is the only easily found hay. And also are
there any other common health problems. So far I've convinced my hubby
that these horses should be easy keepers and have great attittudes.

Also. Arianna will definately keep my Appy mare company since I'm selling

Hi,
I am by no means an expert about this, but I think that Fjords don't 
founder any easier than any other breed.  I don't think any breed is 
immune to this.  You really have to keep close tabs on Fjords eating too 
much.  They have an eating disorder so to say.  They want to eat all the 
time.  I call my Fjord , Miss Piggy, for short.  There are several ways 
to combat their eating all the time.  You can use a grazing muzzle or 
just take them off the grass for a good part of the day and keep them on 
dry lot.  They are easy keepers and you don't have to do any grain 
feeding unless they are being worked very hard everyday.  We also say 
that they will get fat by just looking at a blade of grass.

I am a 18 old years girl who lives in Sweden. I have been in the fjordworld 
on real about four years. It's lovely, and here in Sweden I have got many new 
fjordfriends, who all are very nice. In about a week I travel to Lori, and 
Bluebirdline Fjord, in Canada. I am sure that I will meet very nice people 
there too :-)

I have a own fjordgelding, called Buz 
(http://medlem.spray.se/fjordfia/HPIM1352.JPG) . He is four years old, and a 
very lovely boy, who I both ride and drive. I  His dad is the stallion 
Lunbrigg. 
(http://www.nfhr.com/ponyweb/ponyweb.cgi?horse=100217HorseName=LunbriggPage=1Sort=0)

I take also care about his mum. She is a lovely mare, who loves to work, 
especceilly jumping. She have a wonderful trot, and a wondeful head. Yesterday 
came she home from the stallion, so next year I hope she will have a nice 
fjordfoal. Picture at her: http://medlem.spray.se/fjordfia/Belizzibisss.jpg

In Sweden think many people the same about fjords like in France -- They are 
fat, boring, and lazy... But I think the opinion have changed a little bit 
anyway. Maybe becouse they have seen what our horses could do with a little bit 
traning. 

One more time, Welcome to the list!

 Hello 
 
 I m a new member of fjordhorse@angus.mystery.com, I
 live in France, my name is Myriam and I have a
 marvellous fjord horse named Fuego.We do a lot of ride
 in country,Fuego is afraid by nothing,I have a lot of
 fun and happiness with him.
 
 In France,sometimes fjord horses havent a good
 reputation;many people think that fjord horses are
 very fat, and very stubborn because it is the
 rumour.It s not the reality,my fjord isnot more
 stubborn than other horse,and he 's just a little
 chubby that make him more beautiful!
 
 What is the reputation of fjord horses in your
 country?are they numerous in your country?
 
 Here you can see a photo of Fuego:

Welcome Shawna.  
That longhaired stallion has some good bloodline, with Rudaren as grandsire
on one side and back to Grabb on botgh sides. Are you going to keep hem as
a stallion?

My friends here have a fjord stallion who's mane tends to want to fall over
so they let it grow during the winter and it looks quite nice on him  They
will trim it in the spring, have to cut it right down to the base for it to
stand up and then keep it quite short or it falls over.

Did you wind up with PT Cruiser also?

Jean in Fairbanks, Alaska, 0F this morning, will be clear and sunny, snow

Hi Shawna,

look all that bad.

Hello List! 

This is Sue Giargiari, a voice from the past. I think it has been a year??
since I have jumped in and posted to the list! I have missed you all! I am
farm sitting at Ceacy's and she has been trying to come in from St Croix
since yesterday! I just checked the airlines and she is on schedule to fly
in at 11:00pm tonite with 5 pups from the Carribean! They are Carribean
Found Hounds and every year Ceacy brings some strays back to find homes
here, and she always does! I just checked outside and it is snowing lightly
now. I know that they closed Logan in Boston but Bradley is still open so I
guess I will allow for slow travel(4 wheel drive of course!) and head out in
a few minutes. I can't believe that my Jack Russell Maggie is due with pups
on the 15 but she is laying here on a chair all curled up with one of
Ceacy's jacks, Lilly, and is doing some heavy breathing! Not sure whether to
take her or what !!

Welcome to the List! all of the newcomers in the last year! It is great to
see new folks joining in!

Peggy! I can't believe you are moving again! Good luck!! I won't tell anyone
whether there is room in our new two car garage for a car yet! or how far
the boxes in the 2 horse gooseneck dressing room have traveled this past
summer! Time sure flys!

Hello to all the newer members! Congratulations to Ruthie and Gayle's group
and Catherine is unbelieveable...!

One other abbreviation..NFHA. Northeast Fjord Horse Association. When
we do a mailing for the dues, which will be coming out in a newsletter
shortly, we always have to make sure the NFHA members know that when they
get the Equine Journal. We want them to be members of both!

Stallions  Mares foaling..
We have had our stallion Hilmar, in with a mare when she has foaled. When
Ragnar was born, Sunday and Hilmar were in a summer pasture together. We
checked her bag twice a day, and she was one to wax up every time. We
didn't check one day when we went off and when we got back after dark and
headed the truck lites into the pasture, there was Sunday, down with Ragnar
out except for the hind legs. He was sitting up looking at Sunday. Hilmar
was just standing there about 20 feet away, head down, on guard! Dick had to
go hook up the trailer, then we loaded Hilmar in first, and carried the foal
while Sunday followed us into the trailer. Tied up Sunday in the back of the
stock trailer and I sat with the foal just about in my lap so he wouldn't
try to get up! Of course I talked to him the whole time and when he was all
settled in, I went up to house to get a bucket of warm molasses water for
Sunday to drink and when I got back and started to imprint Ragnar he heard
my voice and went nuts talking to me and trying to get up!! He 'bonded' with
me as I talked to him in the trailer on the ride from the field to home!
LOL!  I stayed out of the barn for quite a few hours and he was then fine,
answering only to Sunday!

We put her right back out into the pasture the next day, with Hilmar, the
one near our house, and Hilmar was fine. Even when he pasture breeds, except
for the first one of the summer, when he gets carried away and has to go
 oh Yeah! No chasing!! all over hill and dale!! The mare puts him right in
his place if she isn't ready to breed. The foal, even at 9 days old, knows
to stay the heck out of the way! They usually get up in front of mama! When
we wean the foals, they stay with Hilmar, as the mares stay with him all
summer and winter, as long as they are bred back. I keep Dena with him, his
Dam, but she is bred back to Konggard. I do pay attention and I can see or
hear any funny business if she were to come back into heat. If we take the
two mares out to work, the foals stay in with Hilmar. Then they don't panic
as they are in the familiar place. When the mares are all bred, and with
Hilmar, Stella is the alpha mare! He is low man on the totem pole, except
for breeding time. The colts will also play with him.
On another note, I had a group with a bred mare, Rosita and two geldings, a
yr and a half and a 7 year old, get in with Hilmar and his herd. When we
found them, the younger gelding, who had grown up in the pasture with him,
was grazing just a few feet from him. The gelding, who was brought in as a 6
uear old, was no where to be found. After I fixed the fence, I walked out to
the very back woods of the pasture and there was the gelding, about as far
away from the herd as he could get. Just standing there resting with one leg
cocked. He had a few bites but nothing major. Hilmar drove him away but let
the younger one stay. I geld at 4 months, a few weeks before weaning, less
trauma and swelling on the youngster. The fillies stay with him until they
are a yearling, maybe a little later. I haven't had one come into heat while
that age. Knock on my wooden head!

Congratulations to Janice! I too saw Herman in Norway and Catherine was
trying her hardest to get him!! That is so

Hi Sofia,

So nice to hear about you and Belizzi doing well at jumping!  These
Fjordhorses can do it all!

Our hunting season started here in Alaska on September 1st for moose (I
think they are called elk in Sweden) so I won't be riding the trails in the
forests here until the season closes.  The fjords are much lighter colored
than moose, but dark brown horses have sometimes been shot by mistake.
Usually it is inexperienced hunters (those new to Alaska, especially
military GI's) who go out road hunting.

The fall colors are really starting to show here in the Fairbanks area now,
and my Fjords are getting fuzzy coats.  Where did the summer go?

It is so nice to hear you tell about your activities on this least . I look

One suggestion, when you post to the list you should delete most of the old

highlight the part of the old message you don't want and delete it.
Otherwise it takes up too much space on the digests.

Hi Helena,

I think YOU may be the reason I have a Fjord.  Were you at the Calgary
Stampede with your horses about ten or more years agowith at least one
grayinside the covered show building.  The person I am thinking of was
running a camp of some kind for disabled adults and was using the Fjords in
the camp.  Had built a kind of travois thing to allow them to drive the
horses on trails, even if they could not get into the saddle.  Was addicted
to horse camping with her Fjords.  I abandoned my friend (I think he went
off and drank beer) and talked and talked and talked with you.  Like a
little girl who had always wanted a horse and I finally found my opportunity.

Well.if it was you, I need to thank you!  Years later I was considering
getting Shire draft horses...and then remembered that I could have a draft
pony that I had seen at the stampede.  I now have four Fjords, including a
stallion and mare and a gray Fjord gelding.

Welcome to the list.  It is a little slow in summer, but everyone is around
during the winter and, I bet, would love to hear your stories of years with
Fjords.

Question??   You may remember I bought a mare, in
 foal, last September.  She 
 is wonderful and getting quite a tummy on her:) 
 Those of you experienced in 
 this matter - please comment on raising a single
 foal - what are some 
 issues that might be different compared to having
 several foals born on the 
 property??

Most of the foals we raised were 'single foals' - at
least 6 of them, maybe more.  The biggest issue with
raising an 'only' is not really a 'horse issue' but a
'people issue'.  As with human 'only children', an
'only' foal is much more easily spoiled by too much
human attention!  Remember - he/she is a HORSE and
needs time to learn to BE a horse.  Let the mother and
foal bond well.  Something that CAN happen(no
guarantee it will, but be aware) is that we humans
become too fascinated with the foal - especially a
Fjord foal, which is friendly compared to the
skittishness of most other breed foals - so we spend
literally hours playing/interacting with it.  Result: 
A foal that doesn't really know it's a horse - thinks
its a human - and treats its humans as it would treat
other horses.  NOT GOOD!  Horses really do play
rough.  The foal doesn't develop into a 'normal'
horse with the usual 'my space, your space' approach
to humans.  He/she just thinks that humans are funny
looking horses, so you then have to deal with the
'respect my space' issue much more severely. 

So, how to avoid this easy 'pitfall'?  After the
initial 'imprinting' has been done, try to interfere
as little as possible between the mare and foal - at
least for the first few days.  Let the foal begin to
discover that he/she is a horse and let the two of
them bond really well.  Encourage ONLY those habits in
the foal that you would want to see him/her have when
grown up and weighing over 1000 pounds(that's at least
half a TON, remember).  Some habits may be cute in an
irresistible foal, but consider whether or not you
want a fullgrown horse doing the same thing.  Do NOT
allow any kind of nipping, head butting or rubbing,
turning of the rear towards you in 'pretend'
threat(all too soon it can become a REAL threat). 
Demand a 'sweet attitude' - no spoiled brat laying
back of the ears and buttoning up of the lip when he
or she doesn't get his/her way.  Remember to teach
proper manners and the two of you will have a great
time, not only while the foal is growing up, but later
when he or she is a full grown horse.  Let me also say
that I have found - at least with our Fjords - that
fillies were 'easier' than colts.  Fillies seemed to
have that naturally 'sweet' attitude right away, while
the colts seemed always to be 'pushing the limits' -
they were more prone to developing nasty little habits
like nipping at you when you weren't looking and
trying to 'slap box' or 'spar' with you with their
heads like you see many geldings doing with each
other.  And then there was the gelding(which we bought
at 4 months old) who thought people were to push
around - with his butt, with his shoulder, AND with
his chest.  He would come up to you face on, raise his
head, and try to push you out of the way with his
chest.  As if he were thinking, I'm taller than you,
get out of my way.  NOT!!  It took a lot of time and
effort to 'unteach' this behaviour, which could have
easily been stopped when he was a baby.  Don't know
how it developed, but it did and it was a PAIN.  He
dropped the whole 'posturing' thing at around 4 when
he finally figured out it was getting him nowhere.  He
turned out to be a very even tempered, willing horse -
but extremely smart.  You need to think ahead of him
and keep him busy.  If he is bored he gets into
mischief.

Good luck with your mare and 'only child'.

Mary

You are correct, Jean,  - I do have a fjord gelding.   Guess I have plenty of 
choices for a babysitter:):):)   Baby might like Sven better as he is so easy

This fjord baby sure has people in my life excited.  Our vet has worked with

please comment on raising a single foal - what are some 
issues that might be different compared to having several foals born on the 
property??

 Does your gelding get along with your mare?  When my big gelding Bjorken
was born I just had him and his mom and Bjarne, an older gelding.  I kept
Stella and the baby in their own paddock with access to the stall and
Bjarne had an adjoining paddock.  Little Bjorken would go stand next to the
fence where Bjarne was standing  and seemed to idolize him. (Maybe a boy
thing).  I didn't really let them be all together all the time until he was
weaned (at more than a year old) but now, knowing what I do, I would have
put them together much earlier.  Bjarne taught Bjorken manners and played
with him a lot.  Stella also played with him, but boys play harder! Bjarne
was the boss (still is at 27) and I think Bjorken turned out well partly
because of Bjarne's help.  Older gelding are often very good baby sitters.

My friends, the Brunners, who usually only have on foal at a time, have had
a quarterhorse gelding as baby sitter until he went to a new owner, and now
have an old pony gelding as babysitter and playmate.  Nickers, the old
pony, gets tired of the foal's roughhousing and teaches him manners also.
They also let all the horses, except the stallion, run together in a big
corral, separating them somewhat at feeding time, and at night, when The
mare and foal and Nickers get the corral with the stall which they share.

You may have to separate them at feeding time, but this has worked out well
for us.  It all depends if the mare and gelding get along.

Fjords and donkeys tend to be
 piggies about stuffing food into their faces, so most of them will
 graze as long as there's anything edible in front of them.  It's easy
 to get them too fat, and very hard to diet the weight back off of
 them!

you're telling me!!!  i have a 2 stall barn.   it used to be that dancer
would nail quinn (fjord)  if he approached her chow.  they have their
own dishes.  about 6 months ago, she started letting him have his way.
of course, he ate hers and his and got fat and she lost weight.  so i
bought and installed stall gates to keep him in his own stall during
mealtime.  yesterday, that wiley coyote, was caught red-handed with his
whole head and neck through the pipe divider, completely twisted around
with his face buried in her barrel, which hangs on the rails.  now i
have to figure out a new tactic!  i think i will completely remove her
half-barrel and hang it from the opposite wall.  no way he can get to it
than, unless he can fly.and i would'nt be surprised denise

You need to be concerned about founder, both for the Fjord and the
donkey.  I have 3 Fjords (Nansy, Rom, and Sleepy) and one donkey
(Shadow).  I managed to founder Shadow when she was young; she
recovered, but I don't recommend the experience!

Consequently, I tend to be gunshy about mixing easy keeper equines
with lush pasture.  I'd recommend sectioning off the pasture with
electric fencing, and only giving them very small areas at a time---
making them strip it down to stubble before adding a narrow slice to
the area.  Giving them hay is good, but Fjords and donkeys tend to be

Also on the site you can check out the On Line Pedigree Lookup  ( a link

 pair of scissors that clip properly.  He is one year old and his mane
 seems to grow thicker each time I cut it.  I too lost a Fjord last year
 only mine was killed by a tractor trailor.  He had apparently crawled
 under an electric fence.  I bought Storm the next month.  I too,
 couldn't bear looking out at an empty pasture.  The Fjord I lost was a
 real little love and I am hoping that this new little stud will become
 more docile once he is gelded.  He is very friendly but a bit sassy
 I imagine being a stud helps this trait along.  Are there any other

Sounds like a wonderful, perfect way to get a horse.  I love raising a horse 
from the beginning and knowing what I get will be what I've put into it.  
Hope to see you and Ely at Albany (barring jet lag).  Glad you stopped 
lurking.

 Hello, I have been lurking for quite some time and decided it was time
 to introduce myself. I have always had a fear of public speaking -
 funny that a person can be shy on the internet as well!
 
 Anyway, I am Tracy Apalategui and I am one of Gayle's gals at Field of
 Dreams in Eugene, OR. I own a coming-4 year old son of Woodlands
 Dustin named Dustin's Ely. I first met Gayle when I went to her barn
 looking for a place to board a mustang I had recently purchased from
 my trainer. Gayle and I talked for a couple of hours- she about the
 attributes of fjords and me about the many problems my horse had (such
 as barn sourness, not standing for vet or farrier etc). She then gave
 me a barn tour and I met Ely. It was his first day of weaning so it
 wasn't one of his favorite days but I left the barn with my mind made
 up- I needed that fjord! Luckily, the trainer who sold me the mustang
 bought her back (for less than what I had into training) so I was able
 to buy Ely.
 
 I didn't mind that it would be a long time before I could ride him
 because, as much as I loved horses, several riding mishaps had caused
 me to lose confidence. Also, I was tired of buying horses which
 carried the baggage of poor training from previous owners - I wanted
 to start from scratch.
 
 Gayle, Ely, and I had a good time doing lots of groundwork. I also
 took riding lessons on Dusty to boost my riding skills and confidence.
 When he was old enough Gayle, of course, trained Ely for me and now I
 have an awesome horse. He is extremely sensible and willing and he is
 an excellent mover. I ride dressage during arena work and when weather
 permits we hit the trails. We have even participated in a couple of
 schooling shows.
 
 Ely and I will be participating in the Albany Expo and I look forward
 to meeting any list members there!
 
 Thanks to all of you for the generous sharing of knowledge and stories,
 
 Tracy.

Hi Rebecca, sounds as tho you have been through the mill!  Can not imagine
trying to keep a fjord from cantering as most that I have met do not want
to!  You are really courageous to keep trying with your history of
accidents.  Good luck.  Jean
