Hi all, First, I want to congratulate Brian and Ursula for importing these quality Fjords from Germany. They will play a significant part in continuing to improve the breed and the breed's gene pool. Way to go! Also, as some of you know, I'm working on a book. It's full of witty and sparkling humor about what happens when a middle-aged woman [me], encounters the realities of horsekeeping [them.] Cross your fingers about the witty and sparkling part... We have put up the draft of a new web site for "Midlife Madness - Setting up Horsekeeping." You should be able to find it at www.horsehumor.net . I would love to have comments, preferably enthusiastically positive, from any of you who would care to respond. Yes, you won't be disappointed - my stallion will occasionally show up in my writing.... I have enjoyed reading about all of your adventures in the snow and ice. We had a couple of power outages, the longer being 4 1/2 days. We coped with generator, gas fireplace, running water [we're not on a well now], and our Coleman stove. Aren't we hardy, though? Our 6 inches of snow is gone. We're currently enjoying some sunshine while waiting for the Spring Deluges to appear. There's hope - the days are getting longer.
