new Zilco Marathon Harness that I wasn't able to use (Horse got ligament
injury).

I would ask the vet to take x-rays and do a flexion test on that limb,
including the ankle, hock and stifle. You don't want to bute him before the vet
examines him.
Is there heat or pulse in the lame foot?

Ellen,
I do a lot of driving on paved roads with traffic. It's always quite an
experience, especially here in southern CA. I would suggest you buy the caution
sign that attaches to your carriage. I think this is a requirement on roads
with cars. And

I had a lot of trouble with Timothy Hay this year causing diarrhea and I
never had trouble in the past. The hay was super green all year and I suspect
it
was over fertilized or had some other chemicals on it. Even the Orchard hay

The Fjord that you see used in various advertisements is my Fjord gelding
Rollo (Knut X Rachael). I took the photo some years ago and used a neighbor's
child as a model. I submitted the photo along with some others to the Farnam

I had a horse shipped from Germany to CA around 2 years ago and I can tell
you what it cost more or less. Depending on how many horses are on the flight,
it is cheaper to go with more than one horse, it is around $4000 to CA. Of
course, other locations mi

Just a note to add about wolf teeth. They pull out relatively easy compared
to the other teeth so it can be done with some sedation and that's it.

The horse team in the opening of the movie, "Phantom of The Opera" looked
like Fjord horses to me as well. Then there was another shot of one of them
pulling a piece of equipment in the opera house.
I thought the movie was spectacular. It was worth se

Lori,
Congratulations on a successful show year. Great scores! Your horse must be
quite athletic.
Good luck in the future.

I have fed strictly Timothy hay for years for all my horses. At first, it was
hard to find in alfalfa rich California, but now many other people are using
Timothy with great results.
I've had many vets say they think it is the best hay to feed any horse.

I had a "near miss" with a bungie tie in my horse trailer. The trailer dealer
said they worked great so I put a set of them in when I bought the trailer.
I had a young pony in the trailer and when I went to unload him by myself, he
started to back up and

If you are constructing an arena for riding, I can give you some information
that I used from the USDF Handbook for arenas and footing that was helpful
when I made my arena. Of course, a lot of the decision is based on what you can

I have some information on shipping from Europe to Los Angeles as I did this

It cost $3,700 to fly one horse direct from Amsterdam to Los Angeles (one
way). I think it i

Before you get too mad at the judge of the dressage test, read her/his
comments on the test. Fjords can give the impression of doing a very nice test,
but
the judge is looking for very specific things like bend, engagement of the
hind end, suppleness and

I was curious, if anyone knows. Does the lap apron also help prevent getting
your clothes tangled in the reins? It seems like it might perform this
function if you had the surplus rein hanging in your lap. At least there are no
buttons to snag, etc.

It's hard to imagine that anyone who wants to compete in a sport would
complain about dress and traditional turnout. Every sport has some type of
"uniform"

Lori, I didn't mean to disagree with your comment about Fjords in dressage
except to say that the general public has a stigma about breeding a horse
that moves well somehow cancels out his positive attributes. I have a feeling
that people think, OK let's

I live in Southern, CA but it does not seem to stop Fjords from growing a
thick winter coat despite year around average temperatures of 70 degrees. It
can be 80 degrees in January. I find clipping a necessity rather than
cosmetic. A horse worked hard in a

My Fjord, Rollo, was trained to drive when he was 8 years old and he is now a

lightly the first year. He had no exposure to any kind of driving training
until age 8. The woman training

I've seen PVC piping held up by cement blocks spaced far apart used for
dressage arenas. Seems to work well and it is very light weight and easy to
