I spoke with the friend who installed the hydrant in the first place (he had previously been too busy to talk to me). He suggested taking the head off, pulling out the rod and rubber plug from the...

Last time when I posted, I had tried to get a plumber in to fix the hydrant. I explained on the phone what it was that needed to be done and was assured that they could do the job. A nice young man...

Yes, I have a shovel and the bottom of the hydrant is 6 feet down! If it can't be fixed by pulling the hydrant apart from the top, I will have to dig a mighty big hole! :eek:

A while back I posted asking about replacing the packing in my frost free hydrant. It had been leaking around the packing nut. It was also making a sound as if water was running. Well, I did the...

I am in Ontario and am interested in a stallion that is standing in the U.S. but is too far from a federal vet's office to get the CEM paper work done in a timely manner. If I could find a good...

I don't do a lot of posting but I have been checking in on Courtney twice a day and lighting candles for her. This last post brought a lump to my throat. I am so pleased to hear that Courtney is...

I'm wondering if anyone knows someone who has shipped into the U.S. to breed to a stallion whose semen can not easily be exported to Canada because of logistical problems that have arisen due to the...

Many years ago, I too had the experience of having an instructor repeatedly yelling half halt. I was trying but the half halts were not going through. There was no yielding or softening in the...

My understanding is that 30% is considered the very lowest % acceptable for selling in the industry. I guess that it would suggest that responsible stallion owners/agents would not send out semen...

You will find some of the names in that horse's pedigree on this website. He has L'Invasion further back in his pedigree. My mare also goes back to L'Invasion as do many Dutch horses.

Adessa Keur - Top Five in IBOP

Pictures of the other horses entered in the Keuring are also on this website. Click on Gallery then Prima...

I was once told by a local trainer that Gelderlanders can't canter. I don't agree. At the inspection last year, Adessa scored higher on her trot than her canter. Part of the reason for this,...

Except for the poor weather, with on and off rain, the keuring went well. I didn't see the dressage foals and I don't have a program in front of me so I can't give specific names but the jumper...

Maintain some of that Gelderlander blood and breed to the Austin's stallion Olivier! He's reputed to have a lovely temperament and of course is incredibly talented and is said to pass these traits...

How can you have the best Gelders mare in the world when I have her? ;) I suspect that the Austins might also think that Dayowillie is right up there!

:winkgrin:

The picture of Emigrant, referred to in an earlier post, was courtesy of Doreen Peters, the daughter of Dutch immigrant John Peters, the man who imported Emigrant to Canada. She told me that her...

I am dusting out the cobwebs from my brain as I try to remember but I think that Ijsselmeer and Zooloog were two Gelders stallions who were considered to be suitable for producing offspring that...

My advice would be to get your hay analyzed. I have had my hay analyzed in past years but this year when I spoke to the feed consultant about the results, she mentioned that there was insufficient...

Today I was talking with another Canadian breeder about problems with delays in having frozen semen shipped. She suggested that it might not be a delay but that I might never get a shipment as that...

In the last few years I have been very happy with Kathy Hickerson of Majestic Gaits and Talley Ruhle of Triad Farm Hanoverians. They both did everything they could to help me to get my mare in foal....

A couple of years ago I won a stallion service auction for a stallion that was at Majestic Gaits. Kathy went 'above and beyond' with regard to service. Communication was excellent. I was...

I would appear that Lianca and Atuur are 100% Gelderlander. Gelderlanders of course were used in the development of the Dutch Harness Horse. There are quite a few Gelderlanders that have competed...

I went to a Stephen Clarke (FEI 'O' level judge) clinic last fall. He had a really good strategy for a horse that reacted badly to the whip. He told the rider to turn the whip upside down and hold...

I attended the session back at the hotel. I was under the impression that many people didn't realize that there was a debriefing session so not too many showed up. I too didn't stay for all of...

Siegi,

You have a PM.
