Ok. some methods I have used may not be the best methods. but here is what
has worked with several of our fjords and fjords that we have managed for
their owners.
A long time ago, a dear older vet told me that good quality straw was a
great tool in kee

Hi, all--
I have finally uploaded the Youtube video of a recent morning at the barn
when Clyde fell asleep in my lap. Unfortunately, after much searching, I was
not able to figure out how to rotate it, but you get the idea. There are a

Hello Fjord owner listers,
FWIW, I have a couple of comments/suggestions regarding the overweight
Fjords.
Definitely do the Magnesium/Oxide.
Limit their feed intake and go to four or more feedings a day to keep them
more occupied.
I have not heard

Congrats on your new horse Kate. Della is very pretty. Joe looks like he
is very pleased! Terry, the shipper, called me after he dropped Della off,
to tell me he had delivered a Fjord near me, to make me jealous. Terry

Thank you Kate and Laurie for the tips on saddles. It's fun shopping for
just the right saddle, but it's also a serious decision and a significant
investment.

I use all three methods, grazing muzzle on when turned out for 5-7
hours, small paddock attached to stall for rest of day and night but
with a hay feeding after a few hours of being in there and Quiessence
pellets.

Catherine - please don't reply privately!! I am sure there are many of us

Hello Everybody,
Tessa is now 34 years old. She looks pretty good. In fact, nobody would
believe her age. Even I have a hard time believing it and I see her
everyday. She has plenty of flesh on her ribs, and her back is almost as

Thanks to everyone who responded. I have the fjords in the unused arena

I use grazing muzzles. Today, I put the muzzles on at 6 am.usually I
just let them graze for a while and then put the muzzles on, but, today I
wanted to let them be out in the pasture longer so I put them on right away.
OMG!! I ha

things about this method. It keeps them doing what horses naturally do

Teresa -
I will talk to you privately on the methods our farm has used for weight
reduction in Fjords. Both Amy Evers and Kathy Monroe can tell you more about
our methods. I am rushed for time today but when I get a chance... I'll
email you directly.

Dear listers,
I know that other people have had over weight fjords and would like more
information on a safe way to get the weight off. We recently acquired several
