Sorry you can't continue to enjoy the chat around the virtual table with the rest of us. I guess you probably have learned all you need to know about Fjords, so you won't really miss anything. Since you've been around horses so long you already knew about using aloe on sprains, so that would have been dribble. Sad to see you go. BTW, you can get off the list the same way you got on it. Writing to the list is not how it's done. Please us the "Unsubscribe" form at: http://www.fjordhorselist.com. -- Steve McIlree Owner/Administrator FjordHorse List

This message is from: "TERRENCE GURIEL" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Howdy Steve, Well we are each entitled to our own opinions and since you are the list owner, your counts. I am a new Fjord owner, but have been raising horse for nearly 40 years. I joined this list to learn all I can about this breed and their training, what works and what doesn't. What tack fits their wide backs and wide brows. Seems of late, most of the info has died to idle chatter about corns and bunions or some such dribble and as I well know how to use the delete key, in the end that gets old also. Please remove me from the list as it no longer benefits my time.

I think since sprains, scrapes, broken bones, and contusions seem to be part of the landscape with horses, any suggestions pertaining to relief can be considered to be on-topic. Now the whole Barbie thing is wildly off-topic, but it is funny enough to slide. However, we probably can do without a lot of on-list comments on it. -- Steve McIlree Owner/Administrator FjordHorse List

I for one hope that some information she gets helps her get back in the saddle and enjoying her fjord horse.This list would indeed be boring if we talked nothing about conformation, breeding, shows, etc. Those subjects are very good topics, granted, but there is a LIFE surrounding each of us and our fjords that is so much more than this. And we may all learn something about how to better our lives, or our horses lives by keeping open minds and letting the conversation about life with our fjords to flow. :) Pamela

I have a very big variety in my house and just slice it open and apply directly to the injury. wrap it on and leave it there change it twice a day. I have seen it take a swollen black foot and turn it white and unswollen overnight. Where the leaf stopped the colour was still black. In your case I would also pick up a bottle of edible aloe vera juice to help with the internal damage. I hope you feel better soon. Lauren.

Swollen Leg
This message is from: Eileen Perry <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sue, My sympathies! I'm coming up on 2 years since fractures in my left ankle and still having problems. I'm sure your doctor(s) has told you about support stockings, bandages, braces, etc. For riding, I found that mid-duty hiking boots work great. Mine have synthetic uppers, and can be laced (or not) in a variety of ways. I spent the extra $$ and got really good orthotic inserts to support my arch. I find that this helps my ankle and leg tremendously. I wear my boots for all outside chores and riding. To protect my calves, I wear mine with half chaps with Velcro instead of zippers. I was also able to fit into a pair of Ariats, even with the bandage over the ankle. (I think mine are the Heritage Paddock boots). Again, the key is being able to lace them in difference ways. Good luck, I hope you find something comfortable soon. Don't worry about how your leg looks, everyone will be looking at your Fjord anyway! Eileen in West Richland WA
