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!

RE: Hello everyone!
This message is from: Karen McCarthy I just wanted to jump in and say how lovely and heartening it was to hear all your Fjord List voices once again. Yes, FB has 'taken over' and is so different in tone & focus that I do miss this list. What Tish and some others who have responded to this burst of List activity have said re. the economy really 'taking the wind out of our sails' is so very true. I am grateful that Dave & I have been able to push back and save our farm. In fact, 5 years and 2 thwarted foreclosure attempts later, we are still negotiating with our new loan servicer to remedy accounting errors. (Its complicated, but our foreclosure issues were not due to missing payments, rather 'control fraud'). Between this and my life that was re-invented yet again through ownership of a small garden center, it all takes so much of my time that the horses just look at me like " when are you going to mess with us, huh?" If I ride or drive them once a month I am happy. However, they have not wanted for anything, only my close attentions since Dave is a farrier, and we grow our hay and have plenty of room for them to self-exercise. I am riding out this economic burp in the hopes of yes, breeding 2 of my mares who through their good evaluation scores, have earned a right to be bred - someday.

Re: Hello from Canada
This message is from: "ron&saskia" 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. Saskia 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. __ Information from ESET Smart Security, version of virus signature database 7745 (20121129) __ The message was checked by ESET Smart Security. http://www.eset.com Important FjordHorse List Links: Subscription Management: http://tinyurl.com/5msa7e FH-L Archives: http://tinyurl.com/rcepw FH_L Shirts: http://tinyurl.com/8yky94l Important FjordHorse List Links: Subscription Management: http://tinyurl.com/5msa7e FH-L Archives: http://tinyurl.com/rcepw FH_L Shirts: http://tinyurl.com/8yky94l

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 sheâs my riding horse since then. Sheâs 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, didnât 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 sheâs 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 thatâs ok. Iâm 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 itâs great to have contact with other fjord horse owners and exchange our experiences with our beautiful fluffy equines.

RE: hello again
This message is from: laura fisher 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.

Re: hello again
This message is from: Starfire Farm Hello Laura, 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 laura fisher wrote: This message is from: laura fisher 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.

RE: Hello from S.C.
This message is from: "melissa" Hello I have Shome Gerd who is coming two in August... She is coming along in her training and has reached a height of 13h Having her here in North Central TX, she has been doing fine in the 7 day run of very high heat When we got her in February, she waited about 2-3 weeks and started shedding out for over a month. She has done well, is very quick to figure out things, usually she is introduced to something and maybe one repeat and she has it down. It is fun and amazing to sit back and watch her figure out things. We have had a saddle/synthetic on her back rigged to help her to bend her neck and get used to everything. She is going to start working with drive lines and long line soon. She is yielding well and has taken to the tack without a problemshe can tell if you are not paying attention and will play to that if you are slow on the uptake. She has not freaked out like other horses, we had a awful hail storm in June with tennis ball hail on a pole barn roof, she looked up when it started and went back to eating and was not bothered by it at all. Now some of the humans present is another storythe sound was so loud you had to yell to be heard and that was with someone that was standing next to you. She has learned fast to stand tied and even doing well with ground tying. She is now doing great for the farrier and her hooves are great. She does not like fly spray and we are working on that. The first of May we moved to a different barn at our boarding facility, that night she unpinned her stall and went to grazing in a small pasture area that is unfenced. We have now rigged her stall with a chain and fast clip to hold it shut if she gets the pin out. She did one more time, the next night, the chain held and she has not pulled the pin since.

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!

There is no guarantee that a Fjord is the perfect horse for a beginner. Fjords are highly intelligent!

Re: Hello from Denmark
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 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! Lynda Thanks much, references are available.

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. -- Built Fjord Tough Carol M. On Golden Pond N. Wisconsin
RE: Hello
This message is from: "Linda Lottie" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 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?

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=100217&HorseName=Lunbrigg&Page=1&Sort=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!

Re: Hello!!!! Stallions/Mares /Foals (long!)
This message is from: ceacy henderson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 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!!

Re: Hello!
This message is from: Jean Ernest <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 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?

This message is from: GAIL RUSSELL <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 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.

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 = Mary Thurman Raintree Farms [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: "Hello", harness and cart for sale
This message is from: Jean Ernest <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >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. Jean in Fairbanks, Alaska Partly cloudy today and +10 F.

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 "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!
