After the age of 15 or so, my Fjord mare begin having abscesses once
or twice a year. A few years ago, I had her thyroid tested (due to
other symptoms). She was hypothyroid and started on levothyroxin. She
has not had a single abscess since

I use treeless saddles (a Bob Marshall, a Nickers Sensation and a
Ghost) on my two Fjord mares. The best things I have found to prevent
slipping are adding a Y-type breastplate and a crupper. The extra
straps are a bit of a hassle to fiddle

I used an udder bra on my mare. Not a repellent, but an barrier. The filly
hated it and kept trying to pull it off Mom, but it did work. My mare did
not mind it.

Fjord mares and grown offspring together. Do you work them together? Do you
work them separately? Will they work well both ways? Is it more of an issue

I am excited about being able to see the Gypsy Vanners,

Foxtrotters are rare? We ride with more Foxtrotters than anything
