This message is from: M Korose <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For all the folks who might not have heard my Sven story..... In the late 80's I was a newbie driver in CA with my Thoroughbred and Karen was also somewhat of a newbie, driving Sven. We went to the CA driving shows, the little CDEs to start and a great clinic in Ore. I knew I wanted to drive (forever) and my horse was not in the best health (track injuries) and I had a severe case of horse envy (the first in my life!!!) in the case of Sven. He was so well behaved, and cute and a great driving pony, right size....... the stallion part never made much impression on me (he was the first stallion I ever "met", how was I to know?). One day in Oregon, I asked Karen if I could drive the Fjord and she countered with, "Only if I can drive the Thoroughbred". I then proceeded to pester poor Karen with where do you get one, who else is in the community, stories, addresses, names, info (and this was pre-Internet!!!!!!). Karen got a mare for her growing herd and the mare came pregnant, I was going to get the foal..EXCITEMENT!!!! Then I got orders for Alaska and being a single folk then, I could only manage taking the one horse, so off we went (Fjordless) but with visions of "soooooooon" in my head. Arrive Alaska, pester only Fjord person I meet (Jerry Friz) until Thoroughbred passed away (track injuries) then he helped me get my first Fjord. So Sven has always been the "perfect" Fjord (and selfishly, my first Fjord) in my mind, I loved his type, his mind, his "Fjord-capableness" and have kept my ear open for all his activities that have been reported. I will miss him. Marsha Korose in WV (where we now have 15+ Fjords and the goal is to introduce folks back here to "Sven-like" Fjordies so they can be as happy as we are) PS: And Sven round about got you Curt Pierce (my better horse half), so he has had to listen to Sven stories since he met me.
