Congratulations; so excited for you. A few years ago, I was in very similar
shoes and so excited. I hope it is OK to mention that I was talked into
writing a book, which ended up with the title “Riding Horseback in Purple.” I

Sounds wonderful (actually, I would rather see the parade than the derby). It

I have done a very minimal clip this year and if she gets sweaty when it is
cool or cold, I put a cooler on her for a while to keep her from getting
chilled and to wick away some of the sweat. I don't think we can post pictures

Wow, Brigid. I had not thought about this in the way you described. It hit me
because a good part of my identity for a couple of years while I searched for
a Fjord was being a Fjord person. But people couldn't see that. I didn't have

I got another hay net to add to my growing collection at a local re-sale store
for $5. It is a 1" mesh with fairly thick, soft, braided netting so the holes
may even be smaller than her other 1" nets. The one on sale had been

You are so kind to share those moments of your life together so eloquently.
Must admit I have tears in my eyes; that doesn't happen often. The Fjord

I don't know if anyone has mentioned hay nets. My Fjord gets almost all her
hay from nets (about 9-10 lbs per day). If I can't buy low-carb hay, I soak it
for an hour or more in the nets, and hang them up to partially drain.
If I just gave h

This and the other Fjord forum have both been tremendous learning resources
for me. I followed both for a long time before finding and buying my Fjord. I
asked questions and had amazingly generous responses. All of that fed into

Hello everyone. Thanks again for the inspiration, facts and stories that
contributed to the creation of "Riding Horseback in Purple." Several people

I was thinking of you the other day, Jean, when a new Fjord owner didn't want
to look at property as far north as Courtenay (about 3 hours north of
Victoria; think Seattle climate with less rain) because it would be too cold
for her boy.

many of you have helped me with specific questions and learning.

As most of you know, I am writing a book for women who are considering getting
their first horse, or first horse in decades. It isn't a book about Fjords,

Cowbirds have moved into our area; they weren't here last summer. As you

I used Google translate for a few terms and one that sort of caught my

rhyming with Guava.
