Tyr is for sale

This message is from: Mike & Casey Rogillio <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> It is with great regret that I offer Tyr for sale. I'd promised myself a year + ago that I'd give him time, that I'd ride him, that surely he would get more forward and not be slow. I believe someone o

Tyr is SO slow.

This message is from: Mike & Casey Rogillio <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I'm in rather a quandary here. I'd originally gotten Tyr with the idea that my kids would learn to ride (ha, 3 years later and I'm just now talking my husband into letting my daughter take lessons :-( )

Re:Knock Around Saddle & loading trivia

This message is from: Mike & Casey Rogillio <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Giggling to myself here - it's obvious that different people have WIDELY differing ideas of how much a knock-about saddle should cost. My pea brain (and pea budget!) think of a $200 saddle as being one that I could

Tyr the Wonder Fjord! Shameless bragging

I loved the news about the trip!

This message is from: Mike & Casey Rogillio <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I know it's not terribly Fjord related, but I still found it quite entertaining - I fear 3 pints would have the same up-setting effect on me as you, focus on the UP! Casey & Tyr in Alabama > This message i

Import question for Julie

This message is from: Mike & Casey Rogillio <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Along with my congratulations. The new fillies sound wonderful! Now for the question - why does Silviann have to spend weeks in quarantine and the others don't? From your email it sounded as if it were age

Merek, I saw Lars pix the other day

This message is from: Mike & Casey Rogillio <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> on a bb that I lurk at. I kept quiet, wondering how long it would take for the breed to be identified, only about 5-6 posts and Fjord was nailed. No one ever acknowledged any names, the original poster didn't remem

Re: reply to Denise

This message is from: Mike & Casey Rogillio <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Denise, while I am by no means an experienced rider, this is what I found when riding my 2 young guys after having older horses. They are work!! I rode my 3 yo QH about 7 times the first summer I had him, the second su

Perhaps make your own fly mask?

This message is from: Mike & Casey Rogillio <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> You can make your own fly masks if you are looking for a custom fit. I found the same sort of materials at a local fabric store. The mesh was in the outdoor dept., lawn chair type stuff. The fuzzy stuff around the ear
