Aren't these Fjords something? Sally where are your Fjords? If you would like to visit us and see Storm, we would love to meet you. We are next door neighbours...in New Brunswick.
I advertised my Arab today....she is just a little too flighty for me....for instance tonight at supper time, Randy went out to grain the horses. He decided to try something...he laid down a plastic garbage bag and a plastic woven feed bag...right in the aisle where the horses come in...first in was Sundance (solid App. gelding)...he just sort of rolled his eyes and came right on in and went into his stall to eat. Next came Misty the arab....she bowed her neck took off back out of the barn and had to be led in and over the bags...which she jumped. Enter Storm...hmmmm whats this...sniff...sniff...to heck with this my supper's in there! Stomped directly on the bags and on into his stall. I clipped his mane tonight and has he ever grown....Randy has been telling me he hadn't grown a bit this summer but I could hardly reach up to comfortably clip between his ears...had to haul his head down so I could see what I was doing. (I am rather short) >Posts every 8 feet. on top of the post run 1 rail. Then attach no-climb >wire, making certain that the bottom is covered so no hooves get underneath. Yup Jean that is what you need all right....Storm would swing his fuzzy butt into our wire fence (6" squares) and almost lift the posts right out of the ground! A "hot" strand or two of electric fence sure changed his mind. We have a strand two feet to three feet off the ground and one strand across the top and problem solved. Well I must get myself to bed...it is almost midnight. Thanks for all the help with saddles. I just had a thought....I bought a fairly short felt type girth for Misty and now I have to get a longer one for Storm. Wah....and it was an expensive one too! Oh well by the time he turns 3 I will have a better idea of what length he will need. Good nite, Sue in N.B. (Desert Storm's mom)
