(Try a ride with a rectal thermometer in your saddlebag. . .) The first thing I would do is start giving her an ounce of sea salt in her feed, and/or half sea salt and half oral rehydration mix (electrolytes), especially if you have no salt available or even if you only have those salt blocks out. Those were designed for rough cattle tongues, and horses often can't get enough salt from them before their tongues get sore. I would have loose sea salt available for her , too. (sea salt for the trace minerals)This is really important for our guys because of their coats, especially those that are being fed hay from fertilized commercial sources instead of pasture. Those hays are often really high in potassium (fertilizer = NPK) so their sodium balance can get out of whack quickly with a potassium heavy hay source. They fluctuate wildly, too, so having it checked with one bale doesn't mean the current one is ok. > That having been said, I had a similar thing occur with an older mare that I was starting to get 'back into shape' after a foal. I trace clipped her and it helped a little. Then I full body clipped her and added the above salt and the problem went away. I hope that is the case for you! She was sweating a bit but it was trapped in the underlayer of her winter coat, I think. Best of luck, Sally > __ __ > Never miss a thing. Make Yahoo your home page. > http://www.yahoo.com/r/hs >

The thing I'm worried about is that Nanna WASN't sweating. I'd have felt much better if she was. Well, she was a little bit around her girth, but, not her neck and chest like the other horse. For as hard as she was panting, I'd have thought she'd be alot more sweaty. I rubbed her body, too, to see if she was sweating near the skin, but, I couldn't see it, but, she was dry.

[IceHorses] Worried about Nanna
I'm worried about Nanna. I went for a ride, with a friend and her Icy today, up a mountain near my house. Because the last time we took that route, Nanna was panting at the top, I hand-walked her a good part of the way. When we got to the top, she was panting hard, but, not sweating much at all. She was a little sweaty around the girth area. My friends' horse who is 17, fatter than Nanna, and ridden less frequently, was breathing hard for a minute or two and then returned to pretty normal breathing. Her horse's neck, chest and nose were sweaty. Nanna panted for around 15 minutes and I hand-walked her down the mountain. I called the vet when I got home because I'm worried about anhydrosis (inability to sweat). He thought her breathing seemed abnormal given the amount of exercise I described. There are other possibilities that could be causing this. Anybody have any ideas? I guess we will start out with several tests to try to rule things out. Thanks, Kim Never miss a thing.

Hi All: I'm selling my Bob Marshall (and matching Skito pad). It was either that or head for divorce court. I'm fairly certain that if I asked Kevin to make me one more saddle rack...it would have pushed him over the edge ;)... At present I'm purchasing a saddle for HIM...so I'm putting my beloved Bob Marshall up for sale. If you're thinking of going treeless this might be the saddle for you... I have a few saddles in my collection that I will never sell. I'll never put any horse through the torture of wearing one of them. But this one I'm fairly confident about, so much so, that I nearly pulled it off Ebay last night. But I snapped out of it and realized that I can only ride in one saddle at a time. http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=130202612366&ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT&ih=003 http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=130202613172&ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT&ih=003 Regards Wanda -- Save the earth, it's the only place to get chocolate.

[IceHorses] Fw: [RC] Icelandic Ponies
I thought someone on this list might enjoy Tom ites' Ridecamp post. Nancy I just got back from the AERC Convention and the GAHR Reunion where after 32 years we again had the opportunity to meet others from as far away as Australia, Germany, Canada and parts of the USA. It was a Loving remembrance of a summer we all agreed was an experience of a lifetime. We decided that since we had so much fun we're gonna do it again the next 29th of February. That date sorta fits us. But since there is this conversation of the Icelandics, allow me to convey that there were 2 teams that finished in front of me riding Icelandic Ponies. Count Johannes Hoyos of Austria in 13th place and Walter Feldman of Germany in 21st place. These were some real good ponies whose leasing was arranged by Linda Tellington-Jones. Over dinner at the La Strada Italian Restraunt w/ Walter and Curt Lewis, Walter told us he is going to Atlanta for a 3 week Icelandic Seminar he was brought over for and arranged arround the reunion. Walter has on his farm in Germany 300 Icelandics and has been enamored by them since 76 even those his farm imported some Standardbreds, but the ponies are his forte. These ponies are tough, strong and willing and there are stories i could tell of how they jumped picnik tables for demonstrations during the GAHR. Let me also say that Martha Post (who we have not found and if anyone knows of her please contact us) rode POA's (Pony of America) who was also in front of me in 26th place that should not be forgotten in this conversation. ts IceHorses Community for Photos and Videos: http://kickapps.com/icehorses "The greatest enemy of the truth very often is not the lie- deliberate, contrived and dishonest -- but the myth -- persistent, persuasive and unrealistic."

I'm excited for Stephanie to enter her first horse show! And I had just thought about part-breds before reading your message. I think it's fine to have crosses included. Charm has no experience with water crossing except trying to cross the river with her once and the front feet were okay, but when her back fit hit the water and splashed her, she had to leave real quick, so that's something for us to work on. Tosca is WAY ahead of us! Judy

[IceHorses] Natural Horse and the History
Even though the Icelandic Horse is a breed of 1,000 years, it is a relative newcomer to the horse breed world outside of Iceland, probably about 50 years. In Iceland, before this period of time, the horse was pretty natural, ridden without much in the way of mechanical aids. In this handful of decades, there have been a lot of unnatural things put upon the Icelandic Horse. We have the great opportunity now to bring the naturalness back to the Icelandic Horse. Let's all take a positive part in representing the breed in it's most natural riding and training style. Judy http://iceryder.net http://clickryder.com
[IceHorses] Virtual Natural Horse Show
How about a goal of June 14, 2008 for our virtual Natural Icelandic Horse show? Since we are all so geographically far apart, and at different levels with different horses, this should give us all a chance to "enter" the show with a little video of whatever point we're at with our natural horses. I think we can all chose some type of category to enter into, whether or not it's a category that has ever been used to show in before! For example, someone might want to enter a "Mounting" class. I might do that with Charm, if I'm able to mount her by then. That might be all that we can do at that point in time. Or a lead-line class. Perhaps Denise's children can ride their stallion bareback once around the pen. Or a trail riding class with video from the ride; or a senior horse class, or therapy horse, or walk / trot (walk / gait) class; as well as riding in halter, or three-trick class, etc. Everyone can do something! This is a perfect opportunity for us to show and promote our natural horses! Are you in? Judy http://iceryder.net http://clickryder.com

Thank you all for your concern, Ed is resting and will start rehabilitation today, extensive. He still has his cognitive abilities just fine. His left side is worse than I thought. When they got him up in front of me yesterday I lost it. Yes, it was very brave of him to crawl to the phone and call 911 and tell them he was having a stroke. He said he sat and thought about it once he got into his chair. He felt that he was not having a heart attack but a stroke, since he had no pain and his heart was beating fine. So he dialed 911 and said I am having a stroke. He said he was afraid he would loose consciousness if he didn't call then I would find him dead on the floor. Wow I am so glad he did.

[IceHorses] free TWH rehab mare
Free TWH mare, registerable SSHBEA, TWHBEA, RHBAA, is HUGE, a sweet gentle mare, was broke to ride and doing great, then for some inexplicable reason reared and flipped, seriously hurting the rider. She is about 5 i think. All anyone can think of is it was feeding time and other horses were being fed and she wanted to go eat. She was in a severe shanked bit at the time and probably a too narrow saddle. She is just huge. probably around 17hh and 1300 pounds. Then she was sent to a an who "laid her down" with rope burns and "sat on her head to make her submit" and gosh I just cant stand it. She is mine if I want her, I dont have room. Anyone want her? I will haul her free to meet you within a hundred mile radius of donaldsonville GA. She is awesome old foundation TWH lines, BTO, Handshaker, she is a grandaughter of Spirit of Evil Knieval. If you go to the Walkers West website you can see him in the TWHBEA Hall of Fame i believe they call it, anyway. She is beautiful sorrel and white and honestly i dont believe she has a mean bone in her body, just a sweet gentle spirit. I wish someone would take her!! I would if I had room!

Who's woman/man's best freind? A dog is truly a woman/man's best friend. If you don't believe it, just try this experiment. Put your dog and your wife/husband in the trunk of the car for one hour. When you open the trunk, who is really happy to see you? HAHAH!!

Re: [IceHorses] I have a question about feed
Anyone know anything about "Happy Hoof" by Seminole feed?? We just learned that as posse members a local Seminole will give us each a free bag of feed a month. So with both of us being members thats two bags. I was thinking of getting Happy Hoof which is supposed to be low starch low sugar for horses and ponies and mini's "prone to obesity and founder". Anyone have any opinions about this? I was thinking of feeding it to my icelandics and donkey only. Janice -- even good horses have bad days sometimes.
Re: [IceHorses] Maja and Kola
well I guess I thought wrong :) I always thought it was a walk that has a strong to and fro to it, i guess i thought stonewall did it cause it feels like that when you ride him, like a camel, slow and such a distinct rocking motion you can feel each step in your lower back. No percussion at all, and he isnt pacey at all. i didnt know camels were pacey! Janice-- even good horses have bad days sometimes.
RE: [IceHorses] Behind the Bit / Rollkur
>>> Isn't this the same lady (and horse) from the WC this past summer whose
>>> picture was crititiqued quite harshly by that Cavallo article? I think it
>>> is.
Yes, it's her - I remember her name is the same as my redheaded mare, Runa.
She was also defended strongly as a wonderful, caring horsewoman by an article
on the Eidfaxi website. Why? Because they found a picture of her rubbing her
horse ("lovingly" they said) and because there was a picture of her waving at a
competitor. I don't know about you, but waving at a competitor doesn't make up
for much in my mind.
It makes me thing of that old saying about not being able to see the forest for
all the trees...that, and also about the story about the Emperor's New Clothes.
There seem to be a lot of Naked Emperor Trees in that Competitive Forest.
How can people be so darned BLIND?

RE: [IceHorses] Vote for J. Michael Plumb - WHY??
Please vote for J. Michael Plumb for the U.S. Olympic Hall of Fame. http://tinyurl.com/yvxyqc Please cross post. Why? I'm curious as to why you say this, and why you care? Have you ever met him, or trained with him? If not, why do you cross-post things like this? Michael Plumb, 8-time Olympian, is headquartered maybe an hour and a quarter east of our farm. I've heard some rather disturbing things about some the horses that went through his barn and didn't make it as eventers. I've only personally met one, however. Her story wasn't very nice, although she was finally living well, quietly on a small farm, with a sensitive rider, when I met her. Her owners got her just before the killer arrived to pick her up to take her to slaughter. I don't know for sure how typical her story was, although I've heard there were many others. I don't know about the others firsthand. I'm of the opinion that if we don't know the details about someone, maybe we should just stay neutral, and not promote him/her. I especially feel this way if someone is going to promote himself or herself as a caring horseman. I never said anything specifically to the list about meeting that horse before, but seeing this request hit me wrong. I haven't met Michael Plumb personally. I feel sure he'll make this Hall of Fame, simply because of his record-setting 8 Olympic appearances. It does not, however, make me forget that mare. Even if she were the only one, which I doubt, that was one mare too many by my standards. Eventing is a difficult, demanding, even rough, and controversial sport at the international/Olympic level, and there has been serious talk at several times of taking it out of the Olympics. I specifically remember this talk surfacing one year - if I remember correctly two, maybe three horses, died at ONE event. On the other hand, I've known some low-middle level eventers who are good riders and caring horsemen - as with most equestrian sports, the scandals and abuses seem to get worse, the higher the level of competition. It doesn't HAVE to be such a rough sport, but often it is. Stories like this one are what have made me grow pretty anti-competitive when it comes to contests involving horses.
