This message is from: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> "Other Life" > Im doing a little research and need your help. What do you do in your > other life to support your Fjord habit? Another late entry into the "other life" question: I am a retail store manager. Sound dull? Here's the good part: It is a PET SUPPLY STORE/ TACK SHOP!!!! You would not even BELIEVE the discount I get - the owners are very generous that way. And I need it, as I have 5 dogs ( 1 retired racing greyhound, 1 whippet, 3 Italian greyhounds), 3 cats, 2 parrots, and one fjord. I also do italian greyhound rescue, so the # of dogs can goes up sometimes. I have the honor of working with someone who has been in the tack industry her whole life, and is an award winning saddle designer. She is teaching me many things about horses, the horse industry, and exactly how all this tack fits and works together. She is very good with fjords, and if any one wants proof that you can indeed get a custom Billy Cook saddle that fits a fjord like a glove, you can see a good picture of Britta being ridden by my trainer at the bottom of this page: www.midwestigrescue.com/brittahoof Ignore the stuff about her hooves - it is a page I am doing for my young nieces who are all taking riding lessons and I am trying to do a little long distance education. Britt was a bit hoof-challenged when I got her a year ago, and I am trying to show them the importance of correct trimming. And yes, I know she is a bit chubby. Unfortunately, she has become one of the top two mares in her drylot and now she is getting a little too much time at the round bale as a! result. She's on a diet, though! Julie in Madison
