This message is from: "CNielsen" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Ruthie, Here's a question--do we really know how cold weather get's in Norway to really expect Fjords to be able to tolerate our really cold climate???? Or should i put it --does it get as cold there as it does here in some places and is it as damp and humid there??? can we really lable the breed as hardy to extreme temp if it dosn't get that cold there?? Just wondering because the one of the Fjords i have --kept under the same conditions as my other 2 breeds sometimes seem more sensitive to changes to the weather. just wondering ----- Original Message ----- From: "ruth bushnell" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <fjordhorse@angus.mystery.com> Sent: Friday, December 05, 2003 10:58 AM Subject: Re: NO POOPY STALLS HERE
