Just looked up the results of the Fairhill CDE and Vivian Creigh has
done another excellent job representing the Fjord. She placed second in
the Intermediate Single Horse/Pony class. Congratulations Vivian!!!!!
Job well done in a large class.
We had three couples here on the weekend driving who are all seriously
thinking about trying out for the Canadiian team for the year 2000. We
sold Orville's single Smucker Super Deluxe harness but still have the
Pair Super Deluxe for sale. He has also decided to sell four Norwegian
single harnesses that we used to show in. They have the collar/hame
together in the Norwegian Tradition.
While getting caught up on the Fjord List seen the comments about the"
Eaters of the Dead" or "13th Warrior" movie. Disney paid all the bills
and would be the people to contact. But Jean was correct on maybe look
into it a little. The Fjords were rode by the Wendols who came out of
the night to steal people to eat. They were portrayed as the "bad
guys" My sister came out to the Island to see us one weekend. Her kids
had a hard time seeing Orville as a bad guy. "But Uncle Orville's nice
how can he be a bad guy". Makeup was not taken off until he hit the
shower in the motel room. Any stop offs for Pizza, etc. were quite
comical. One lady was a Viking extra and all dirty and bruised .She
stopped off to buy milk before going home and the clerk patted her hand
and asked if she needed her to call a women's support group for her.
Incidently the horse we took to the World Championships was a dun and
had worked on the movie last summer as well. We had 21 Fjords and
Strausser. Orville rode a white Fjord the last month we worked and was
the only white Fjord there. The last week he rode with stunts in the
front lines so should be very visible.
Better quit rambling.
Look forward to seeing all the CDE competitors down east next spring
again. Keep up the good work all of you.
Anita
