This message is from: "fjords" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> This message is from Lauren Sellars at Snowy Mtn Fjords [EMAIL PROTECTED] I call it the wildlands because of the frequent visitors we have ie.bear, cougars, coquotees,& rattlesnakes Also because of the wild things we get into usually involving fjords. Our back door opens onto a huge wilderness Snowy Mtn. We live on the Similkameen River in B.C.Canada very close to the U.S. border near Oroville Washinton. I think these fjords are the greatest .We tried some endurance riding this Spring and did quite well for our first race. I am curious as to how fjords have done in endurance racing. I heard rumors of a fjordhorse making it to the worlds is this true? How many miles? We did 23 miles on our 2 fjord geldings in 3 hours it was a total blast. Preparing for it was just a great excuse for fun too. We came across a Mama bear and her 2 cubs.I know I was far more nervous about this up close and to personal encounter, then either of our fjords or the bears. We took 3 fjords to a horse show this weekend and our 4 month old colt Snowy's Cheyenne was a total hit and our 12 year old boy Chelan handled him perfectly and our 2 year old kept disappearing into Cheyennes pen to snuggle up with him. People were in a state of shock over how gentle and sweet such a younge foal could be. The other 2 horses did great as well. It is a privalage to own such fine fjords. Hope you are all having fun Lauren Sellars
