Hi List ! Been quiet lately.....and I know thats very unusual for me,
so I thought I would let you all know that we are still here, for the moment !
Our new house in Utah, closed today, and we made a turn around trip
yesterday to sign loan docs. Not a bad trip one way ( around 6 1/2 hrs ) but
horrible when you have to get back on the road and come home, same night. We
now own a 2 story, LOG home, 2500 sq. in Cedar City Utah. It is our dream
home, and in a nice, friendly, horsey neighborhood. I have met several of our
neighbors, and all are looking forward to us getting our horses up there. We
are fencing the whole place, and have also bought a used barn, 72 ft long, 10
stall, tounge in groove, that we have to dismantal, and move ourselves. ( I
know, I know.....but couldnt pass up this great deal ; ) HELP.
We are doing the white vinyl fencing for a good portion of the place, and
hopefully by next spring, also a dressage sz. driving arena arena. I have
obtained a position there, working for the State of Utah, in the adult
correctional facility there, 5 miles from my house. So...will still be
working with " troubled " people, but just an older population. I get to do
alot of teaching, along with drug and alcohol counseling, and it is a dream
to use my Law Enforcment degree with my Nursing background.
My son is starting school on the 26th, in Cedar. I will be up there, by
then, full time. Between now and then, I am packing, have relocated my
antique business into box's, and hireing and training a new person at work.
Jeff will commute, DONT LAUGH ! for the last 10 months, till he retires with
20 years in Fire service, or decides the commute isnt so bad, and hangs out
in So. Calif. job wise, for a while longer. Firemen only work 10 days a
month, 24 hr shifts, and with 2 vacation days, and several shift trades, can
work a week on....and come home for 2-3 weeks.
The lady across the road from me, owns the local feed / tack store/ pet
shop, and has offered to keep my horses for me in a 5 acre pasture, while I
can feed and care for them. I am truly blessed..... : ) Gives us time to
get fencing in, and this barn put together. The Fjords need to start putting
on a hair coat, soon, so will be moving them soon, also. Libby looks grim
right now, but still holding out hope....got my show packet today, thanks !
I am selling a ' 99 colt, PF Valjo ( pending ) out of a Gjest daughter,
and by Valbjorn, by an imported mare, Valina and Sleipner. Valjo is bred for
performance, and his sire, Valbjorn is a multiple champion driving / CD
horse. I would not promote this colt as stud quality, if I did not feel that
he is one, if not the nicest colt I have seen....but he is. I have been to
Libby, Turlock and Blue Earth several times and feel this colt would stand up
with any shown. As much as a weanling can be, a Stallion prospect, Valjo is.
Dish head, tall, beefy, and correct....should mature around 14.3. I will
offer him as a Stallion, or sell at a gelding price to someone who wants to
show, drive or just own a beautiful example of imported and US bloodlines.
Private treaty for stud.....$ 3,250 gelded. I will advertise him soon, here
in Calif. so if interested, please let me know.
Hope all of you are well.....and I will be computerless for a bit, (OMG, )
and hope to get back on line, soon after the 1st of Sep. Jackie, PAV Aussie,
will hold down the Fjord Chat at PetsandVets, every Sun. night 9:00 Eastern
time. I'll be there this week.....! <A

Sorry to use this forum to personalize my life....but feel that I have made
many special friends through this list....and wanted to keep all informed of
our " greatest adventure " BTW, if anyone has experience in BARN RAISING, or
DISMANTLEING, I can offer spectacular views, free food, and all the
splinters you can dig out ! Heres my phone #, that will be only around for a
few more days...till the end of the month, call if you want work <VBG> *
Joel, thanks for the note, and would be recruiting you, to skidd logs, but
