This message is from: John and Martie Bolinski [EMAIL PROTECTED] All of our horses paw from time to time. The little shetland/welsh, Wee Willy has made it into an art form. He goes all the way down on his elbows sometimes, stretches slow and long, then stands back up and does an upright stretch that seems to involve a lot of buttock and neck muscles - looks like he is in training for giraffe. He even stretches his tail when he does this. Martie in MD GAIL RUSSELL wrote: Gunthar does cat stretches...so should I. :) Gail Russell Forestville CA [EMAIL PROTECTED]

This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Another mostly lurker, surfacing to participate in the age and profile thing. I'm 38, hubby is 42 and two girls, 11 and 9. I subscribe to the digest from work, and forward relevant advice, stories, etc to the family at home. I almost never go near the computer at home - too much to do! I've learned so much from the list, really enjoy the jokes, stories etc. I got inspired to take riding lessons by hearing from others on this list. I thought I was too old to start such a thing - silly me. We have two 11 year old Fjord geldings, a saddle horse of undetermined breed (transplanted southwestern ranch horse - mustang, perhaps), one teeny black pony, sheep, goats, ducks, chickens, cats, dogs, guinea pig and angora bunny. The Fjords are finally, after a very long break, being handled and worked fairly consistently, preparing for being used on the farm. My oldest daughter is riding Thor a little, bareback until we get a saddle that fits. Thor sometimes paws the ground, waiting for the hay to arrive. The other day he was standing with his one foot stretched forward - he put his other foot forward and did a cat-style stretch. Never saw a horse do that before. Thanks to all for a great list - gotta get back to work. Candy, Ed, Erica and Samantha Sloma, Thor, Max, Taco, Billy, et al Laughing Crow Farm, upstate NY

This message is from: Teressa Kandianis [EMAIL PROTECTED] I love the profile thing. This is such a great forum for information - I'm not sure how I would have coped with my fjords without listers. A great example of a virtual community. My age is 50 and I'm in the fishing business in Alaska - sole, cod and scallops mostly. I was a horse lover as a kid and finally at age 48 fulfilled my dream of ownership. That's about it. By the way, though, do any gardening listers know of a good garden mail list? I've tried a few that turned out to be non existent or so off topic as to be a waste of time. Teressa Kandianis - watching Nina try to swim in her water trough.

This message is from: Cheryl Beillard [EMAIL PROTECTED] Ok .. you can put me down as 51 .. today. You aren't recording how old we feel are you? re the discussion . . here's a little set of age related observations that I think we can relate to .. Do you realize that the only time in our lives when we like to get old is when we're kids? If you're less than 10 years old, you're so excited about aging that you think in fractions. How old are you?I'm 4 and half. You're never 36 and a half, but you're 4 and a half going on 5! That's the key. You get into your teens, now they can't hold you back. You jump to the next number. How old are you? I'm gonna be 16. You could be 12, but you're gonna be 16. And then the greatest day of your life happens: you become 21. Even the words sounds like a ceremony--you BECOME 21. YES But then you turn 30. Ooohhh, what happened here?? Makes you sound like bad milk. He TURNED. We had to throw him out. There's no fun now. What's wrong?? What changed?? You BECOME 21, you TURN 30, then you're PUSHING 40... stay over there, it's all slipping away... So, you BECOME 21, you TURN 30, you're PUSHING 40, you REACH 50...my dreams are gone... and then .. you MAKE IT to 60...Whew! I didn't think I'd make it. You BECOME 21, you TURN 30, You're PUSHING 40, you REACH 50, you MAKE IT to 60, and by then you've built up so much speed, you HIT 70! After that, it's a day by day thing. You HIT Wednesday, you get into your 80s, you HIT lunch. I mean my grandmother won't even buy green bananas, Well it's an investment, you know, and maybe a bad one. And it doesn't end there...Into the 90's, you start going backwards: I was JUST 92. Then a strange thing happens, if you make it over 100, you become a little kid again: I'm 100 and a half!! Age is a funny thing.

This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi Everyone! I'm 47 and have been riding for almost 3 years. I had never been near horses until my daughter began to ride. After about 4 years I decided it looked like fun and took my first lesson! Have been having so much fun. However, my mind is always playing games and I'm constantly overcoming fears. Currently I'm reading Sally Swift's book, CENTERED RIDING. It's been really making me think about my position in the saddle. I'm definately a forward leaner by nature. Will focus on this and become more balanced. Pat McCurdy Cato, NY

horse ages
This message is from: Alison Barr [EMAIL PROTECTED] It seems that there is two conversations about the age to start horses. One is about starting too early and one is about too late. Starting with early, there are several problems with it. The first is the knee joint fusion. At around two a section of the joint joins and fuses. For really serious trainers, who x-ray, this is the indication to start more serious work (not just backing and groundwork). However, warmblood types tend to mature later. Also, there are many other joint and bone problems related to starting really young. As a result, I would suggest starting Fjords no earlier than than 3. On the other hand, what about starting them late? While there would certainly be no physical problems, you don't want to miss their peak years because they are still so green. Also, from starting Fj at 7, when an animal is left that long, they aren't very happy about working (much rather eat). It doesn't help when working with a stubborn breed. As such, it seems to me to be best to start somewhere between 3 and 6. So to Anneli, I as go for it! you couldn't pick a better breed to start with. But remember that it is always good to get instruction to help you.
