Fjord Horse story
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hello All, Our daughter in law who lives in Fairborn, Ohio sent this clipping to us tonight. Perhaps some of you who live closer to that area have heard of it also. Dave SperlOthello Washington FAIRBORN, OH â Two Norwegian Fjord horses owned by Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus died after a train hit them Tuesday as they were being unloaded for the circus. The horses, part of the 133rd edition of the circus, were struck on tracks near Erie Street when a freight train came through the area unexpectedly about 9 p.m. One died instantly and the other was euthanized at the scene after veterinarians were consulted. No other animals or people were injured. The show, which included 70 animals, travels by train. Animals were unloaded, then driven to the circus site.  The circus opened Thursday and will continue as planned.

This message is from: Jean Ernest <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> My Fjord Gelding, Bjorken, will turn his head around for a treat..reaches back far enough so I don't need any spoon or such..Good stretch on both sides. I say: "Gimmee" (give me your head) and he knows he gets a treat, for doing various little exercises. My version of clicker training, without a clicker..I use "Good!" instead of a click, then "gimmee" to get his treat.

Re: live from the Oregon Gold Show day 2
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Bridget, I loved reading your email. You are a great writer. I felt like I was there with you. I wish you the best of luck with your event. As I was reading along about Rahael's fussiness about not liking his head touched I was thinking...hm, maybe clicker training would help. That was before I realized it was you...the "clicker expert" that was writing. You and I met on line at one of the Sunday night discussion groups. I just wanted to mention that after our conversation that night we got a couple of clickers and tried it. All I can say is WOW !!! clickering is amazing. We have had such fun with it. We are still learning the mechanics of clicking and riding. But for the most part it is awesome ! Ok...nuf about me. Hope your event goes well. It sounds like quite an adventure. Hope you write moreI love reading your emails. You have a great talent in writing. Patricia Baker Elgin, IL
