Re: [IceHorses] Early History of Icelandics in NA

There is an interesting article in Ancient American, Issue #13, entitled "Who brought the Horse to America?" They believe the first horses were Icelandics, abandoned by the Viking-Vinland Expeditions - 1000 AD to the 14th Century . Janet Caliente, California > > >

Re: [IceHorses] Rattlesnakes

We have quite a few rattlesnakes, and if they trespass they are shot. I am a long way from the vet, so I keep banamine, dex and antibiotics to treat snake bites. I have successfully treated two horses and three dogs for snakebites. If your vet will allow it, a good idea is to keep these drugs (a

Sorry about picture size, I will resend it.

[IceHorses] Help, advice, again!!!

Help again!!! I have a 12 year old broodmare, Belle, that is in liver failure. Belle was overweight but lost some before she foaled. I kept thinking she had ADR (ain't doin' right), but couldn't put my finger on it. I know, should have gone to the vet, but it's 50 miles from here in Bakersfield

Re: [IceHorses] Icelandic Horses Tolting Thru Fire

This may seem abusive, but if you've ever had to lead a horse out through a wildfire,it is a good skill for them to have. When I was a kid we did this many times, and the horses (not icies) were always easy to rescue because they were not afraid, even when we could hardly breathe for the smoke and

Re: [IceHorses] High Tensile Fencing

Is this the same as Centaur high tensile? I believe Centaur is a wide piece of plastic with a wire running down the middle, and it stretches. I am replacing some of my fences and need to go cheap, have something that will hold my stallions, and be safe. I know, a lot to ask. Janet Caliente, Cali

[IceHorses] Rye grass

Hi all, A rancher in my area has grown a lot of rye grass this year. Does anyone know if this is a good source of grass for horses? Somewhere in the back of my mind I'm thinking it is not good for horses, but can't remembert why. Another senior moment... Thanks for any advice, Janet Caliente

Re: [IceHorses] reaction to banamine

RE: [IceHorses] Crossing Icelandics

Last year my 12.5 hand stallion jumped a four foot fence going up hill to romance and Arab mare. This years result is a realy pretty colt, beautiful head, built more like an Arab, super temperament, will likely grow into a good looking small Arab. To me, breeding is generally a crap shoot. J

Re: [IceHorses] WD-40

This is the response from my son-in-law. He is an L.A. County Fireman specializing in Haz-Mat. Drat!! Another potentially good idea shot down. Janet NO NO NO! Look at the container lable; it contains petroleum distilates. They are a form of aromatic hydrocarbons derived from benzine, and are
