This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dearest Mark, Thank you for responding to my post. I bled the brakes Fri night & they worked just FINE. But I didn't have any fat asses to put on the wagon to make sure the brakes would hold on the hills as I built the shop with a transit. So you don't dump a load in your pants, the horses held back the load with NO problems - would your overweight fjords do the same? See, mine work for a living, do yours?
If you are really concerned with how overweight your animals are then take then to the local auction yard & weigh them. Then quit feeding them grain. They don't need it unless they are working HARD every day. By the way, I have fed fjords since 1988. How long have you been following the MONEY? I never got the MONEY because I kept fjords for what they are, HEAVY BONED PONIES DESIGNED FOR DRAFT WORK!!!!!!!!!!! While are on the subject of dissing each other - how many NON FJORD venues do you attend? I do a plowing match in Feb, Mar, & May, the Eagle Crest Draft Horse show in July, Dufur Threshing Bee in Aug, Or State Fair in Sept, Pendleton Round-Up parade in Sept. Mosier Country Xmas Fair in Dec., & lots of farm work in between. Woody Hoopes shows up at Ethel & Wilson Ck but that's it. We can get either get along or we can get in a real pissing match. I bet you aren't even close to being mean enough to out piss me. I don't even see anyone except for Riviore posting on this list that has been in it as long as I have. Excuse me, Jenson posts every now & then. Rest of them don't bother trying to educate newbies. Last time I attended a fjord only event was the evaluation at Days Creek & I was embarrassed by the number of dopes on the rope & I'm not referring to the horses. It isn't the horses fault the human being doesn't have a clue. Cordially, Joel Harman Surf the web up to FIVE TIMES FASTER! Only $14.95/ month - visit www.juno.com to sign up today!
