Sadie, saddle, book, update from Lindenfels in der Odenwald
This message is from: "Linda Lehnert" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Grüßen aus Lindenfels in der Odenwald where we have been having a glorious Frühling (spring) for the last 2 weeks! Peg, I was very sorry to hear about the loss of your foal, but was glad to hear Sadie is recovering. We lost a beautiful Morgan foal to wobbler foal syndrome less than 12 hours after he hit the ground some years ago and I know how it feels. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Linda Wollowitz, I would be interested in seeing a picture of your Norwegian saddle. Would it be possible for you to privately e-mail me a photo? Gail Russell, that book on e-bay made me homesick. I grew up with a Norwegian mother and a German father in a Norwegian Lutheran church and once a year we had a big dinner and all of the immigrant parishioners wore their national dress. I can't recall which was better, the food or the company! Both were outstanding. Jean Gayle, that book you recommended sounds interesting. I will try to find it in the USAREUR library system. I saw the orthopedic surgeon Tuesday. He took x-rays and said I have severe arthrosis, narrowing of the joint interspaces, and showed me a place on each knee and ankle where the narrowing is especially severea with almost no space between the joints at that point. It is aggravated by walking and standing. Since I moved, I was doing alot more walking and standing in my apartment, packing before and then unpacking, which is what triggered the acute exacerbation. Fortunately, since this is an arthritic condition, I do not need any type of surgery, but need to stay down more (very boring). When I go out, I wear knee braces. I still do not have the pain under enough control to try to start riding Ricka. I desperately need to get well enough to start riding as the exercise would be good for my overall physical condition and, as we all know, riding is fun and relaxing and thus beneficial. I have an old McClellan saddle (an original, antique US Army issue made in 1909 at the Rock Island Arsenal), so I can ride without my feet in the stirrups if having my feet in the stirrups aggravates the knee and ankle pain. Or I can always ride bareback. Ricka's a good, calm Fjord with a nice wide back, so she's very suitable for bareback. I have come to the definite conclusion that I won't be able to show her. If I want her shown, I will ask Herr Wolbert to recruit a teenager to show her for me in western pleasure. Linda in Lindenfels Add photos to your messages with MSN 8. Get 2 months FREE*.
Sadie and foal
This message is from: "Janne" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Just read up on the digest, sooo sorry to hear of your loss, Peg. Our Fair Acres Heidi went through this a couple of years ago, what a trooper she was. Sounds just like your Sadie. But oh so sad to lose the baby. Take care, Janne in full winter ND, 12" white stuff and ) this am, grrr.
Sadie
This message is from: "Knutsen Fjord Farm" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> My sincere thanks to all of you who have so kindly expressed your condolences on our loss of Sadie's foal. So many of you have experienced similar tragedies, so I know that you truly understand what we all have gone through. I am relieved and happy to report that Sadie is home now and doing very well. Even though we were unable to save the colt, I want to encourage all of you to be present if possible at any births, as we would have lost Sadie, too, had she not gotten such prompt attention. Our vets deserve medals! She does, too, for being able and willing to hobble out of the barn, into the trailer, out of the trailer, and into the vet's when she was so tranquilized she could hardly stand. She was amazing. I will respond privately to those of you who sent such caring emails directly. Please accept our deepest thanks - Peg, Doug, and Sadie Peg Knutsen - Ellensburg, WA http://www.elltel.net/kffjord/
Re: Sadie and her loss; also, 2 saddles and a bridle for fjords.
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Peg - I am so so sorry about Sadie's colt and the terrible time you all went through in the birthing. Hopefully she will recover with all your good care and the resources of modern medicine! love, Linda Wollowitz Vesle Blakka and I have decided that driving is our forte, so I have some truly fabulous saddles I wish to sell: One Courbette Dressage Saddle, I think it was called a Futura Grand Prix Dressage Black, 17 1/2", Med-Wide Tree. I bought it new at $1250, regularly $1395. I used it for 18 months on and off, plus at one show in Vt. Excellent condition, includes leathers and stirrups: $600. One Courbette Dressage Bridle: Black, plus braided reins and one double set for upper levels, used at ONE show in Vt. in two classes. The package was $375.and is for sale for $200. One Courbette Futura All-Purpose Saddle, also 17 1/2" Med-Wide Tree. Was $1223. new, I got it for $1150. It is in excellent condition and includes leathers and stirrups. Dark Brown: $525. These fit fjords perfectly since Julie Will helped me get the right sizes. I will have the privilege of riding in her saddle from Norway, but only out on trails which was our favorite activity together. It's a wonderful sort-of stock saddle...does anyone who went to Norway remember what kind of saddle pad/blanket they use? Also, East Coasters - look for your registration packet for the Finger Lakes Fjord Horse Show. It should be coming soon to your home/farm. The show will be on Saturday June 14th AND Sunday morning June 15th until classes end. Hopefully there will be more info. in the next Fjord Journal as well.

Sadie and Flotren's foal
This message is from: "Knutsen Fjord Farm" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I am heartbroken to have to write that Sadie's delivery was one of those dystocias you read about, but which never happen to you Her beautiful colt's head was caught on her pelvic rim and she could not deliver him. We were able to save her, and will bring her home tomorrow. I hated to leave her at the hospital, she was so traumatized,shaking from the drugs, and whinnying. We were with her from the beginning, and the vets were heroic, but we still could not readjust that foal's position. He was another lovely brown dun, like his brother Ari. I hope he is with Julie.

OH Sadie
This message is from: "Knutsen Fjord Farm" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hi all - Well, OH Sadie arrived promptly at 6 am [groan] today. She looks splendid, all dappled and well groomed, and will be another great advertisement for Mr. MVF Erlend. Her dam is the brown dun mare Bragda [by Leif], owned by Old Hickory Farm. Sadie, though, is a nice shade of grey, a little lighter than dad, but with very similar markings. Lots of stripes. She's a tall girl, about 15 hands, and already has done well on some training level dressage tests. She brought one of Flotren's newest offspring along with her, well nestled and invisible, except on the ultra-sound. Tomorrow we will ride! Still no baby. I spent most of the night staring, bleary-eyed, at the foal monitor. Just call me "Sleepless in Ellensburg."

Re: Sadie!

This message is from: "Knutsen Fjord Farm" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hi all - I'm off to bed with foal monitor by my side, wishing the vet weren't out of foaling predictor kits. Silka's waxed and sweaty and so am I. Well, sweaty, anyway And OH Sadie, Erlend's 5-year-old daughter [she's so yound to be grey] arrives at 6 am tomorrow! Omigosh! More later - Peg Knutsen http://www.eburg.com/~kffjord/20
