Re: Wolf Teeth, Fall Coats and
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hello Cheryl, I was just trying to remember how many of our Fjords have not had wolf teeth, for in our experience, more do than do not. With some thought, I know that most of the geldings yearling age or older had them, but with the fillies it was not as high a percentage. I would have to go through all the records to make an accurate count of that, however. We always have wolf teeth pulled as soon as they are discovered.

Wolf Teeth, Fall Coats and
This message is from: "Cheryl Beillard" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hi all .. I have a question for everyone regarding the prevalence of wolf teeth in the fjord population. I have just had the vet check two horses (2 and 3 yr old mares) and both have small wolf teeth erupting which I will have pulled before they are started this fall in their driving program. This is the 3rd fjord (of 7) which have had these teeth and my vet seems to think that this is a high percentage? So I'm wondering what the general experience has been among the several hundred fjord owners/breeders on the List? Do you check, and how often have you found your horses to have them. And do you have them removed. Neither of the two trainers I use will accept a horse with wolf teeth .. re the fall coats .. of my 6, one 2 yr old and this year's foal, have both started to get their winter coats .. the others remain smooth and glossy. It would be interesting to know if they follow the same pattern, ie early or late, in shedding or growing coats, from year to year. One other minor brag, for the breed as a whole, .. the same foal -- which Barb Jones and I have agreed to name Julie's Yggdrasil (Flotren x Bragda) - 4 mths, had to undergo vaccinations and a Coggins test this morning, for which he stood quite calmy (albeit with a bucket o of grain under his nose and someone rubbing his back) .. and the vet said she didn't believe that any other breed could be so easy to work with and so calm in response to this type of stress .. most of the babies she sees fly all over the stall at the first jab .. this boy has all of Bragda's spirit and then some, but clearly an equally strong does of common sense and trust in us .. we were so proud of him and I know that if Julie were up to reading the List, she'd be proud of him too. Watch out world, this is going to be one nice horse when he grows up!
