Hello Fellow Fjorders! Marcy and Pat! Oh my heavens....I cannot believe how long it has been since I have been online and read the Fjord Digest!! And to see my Stella mentioned! Alas....lol...it was not Stella who was at Equitana with Richard and I! It was Saskia and her foal, Tobyn. Saskia was 25 years old when she foaled with Tobyn and traveled from NH to KY on the big 'travel trailer'. Tobyn was the first raffle foal for the NFHA that our wonderful friend Marcia Carose won! Do you remember Marcy, when we all got back to the motel rooms at about 11:30 at night after packing up all the 'stuff'! and we made Richard call her?!! Yes....it was very late but we all agreed that if it was one of us that won....we sure would want to be called as soon as possible!! She couldn't believe it and her and Kurt's continuing contributions to the Fjord world in America have been a wonderful journey to follow! The following year at Equitana we brought Ceacy Henderson's sweet mare Freya and Konggard foal, Uvelsa, known as Velsy?sp.. Equitana is where we met Pat for the first time! When Ceacy and I ventured out to the Libby , MT show by ourselves...we stayed at Green Valley Farm and meet up with Pat again! Of course, Richard and I being the great travelers...did meet up with Pat at the Blue Earth, MN show in between, if my memory isn't failing me....haha~ To answer Pat on Konggard's gelding...he was gelded somewhere around 2004 I believe. Richard and I have been separated and divorced since spring of 2006 and I remember Kong being gelded before that. I retained ownership of Stella and Hilmar in the divorce and gave Richard the New Holland Tractor! Our son, Anthony, became a father to Jordan at the very young age of 18, Dec '06 and I have had custody of him since he was 10 weeks old! I can't believe he just turned 4 years old and if any of you saw him....you can't tell him apart from Anthony at that age! Hilmar was gelded in October of 2010 and the young woman who bought my farm in Northfield, MA now owns him! I was so happy that he was able to stay there and be the 'King' of his pastures! If you google '570 Millers Falls , Northfield, MA you can see him grazing in the pasture at the side of the road! Way too cool! You have to go to the 'satelite' version of google maps.. He is now 24 years old! Stella is now 25 years old and I she has a forever home with Sam Stanley in Amesbury, MA. Sam does a Theraputic Riding program with her and she is such a steady eddy-done it all horse! I now live in Westboro, MA with my Mom and younger handicapped sister, Judy! My dad passed away almost two years ago and with my health issues and Mom's....it works out wonderful...we all help take care of each other! And for me.....I am no longer out numbered by men!! Poor Jordan though....lol One of these days I will take care of registering the last couple of foals that Stella had! She has had a total of 12 foals. She had a colt that died of colic at 11 months old named Yuri and another colt named Conan that Ricard placed when we were separated and I was hospitalized for a month with blocked kidneys! He got a load of hay for me in exchange. Then Stella had two fillies, one named Dena, after Hilmar's dam. She had her last foal and filly at her forever home with Sam! I miss my horses terribly but the doors that I have walked thru during my life have blessed my life in many different ways and as always....I will keep walking thru them!! Take care all of you and I will be lurking on the list now that I am online again! > Date: Mon, 7 Feb 2011 09:21:18 -0500 (GMT-05:00) > From: bryhyl <bry...@together.net> > Subject: Stella & for sale > > This message is from: bryhyl <bry...@together.net> > Then no one can forget > >Giargiari's good old mare Stella - she was born in 86' and gave us 9 > great > >babies, at the ages of 18, 19 & 20 - bred back to back with healthy > normal > >foals.
