Norwegian Language Program?

This message is from: Linda Taylor [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hi folks,
I've decided to study Norwegian while recupping from my accident.  I 
don't want to go to Norway knowing absolutely nothing of the language.  
Does anyone out there have any recommendations for programs?  I ordered 
one but sent it back as the audio was very poor  (Teach Yourself 
Norwegian).  Thanks and also thanks all of you for your support.  What 
a wonderful family!

Linda

Interesting sale package

2008-04-02 Thread Pat Holland

This message is from: Pat Holland [EMAIL PROTECTED]

With a soft horse market right now, we are finding some interesting 
situations out there coming up for sale.  I guess one would say it's a 
buyers market now.


I am privy to the sale of a really great stallion and a few mares - if 
someone is interested in getting into the breeding aspect.


The stallion is Rokida's Niklaus, a  15 year old GREY - of the deep dark 
grey. he is 57.3 with a 9 cannon  - breeder was Ron  Kit Davis - known 
for the great disposition and work ethic.  Nik was evaluated on 
onformation  -  he is by Valea's Lee and out of Ro Sandy's Vena by Anvil's 
Rorik - of the Orville  Anita Unrau linage.


Nik, himself is one of  - if not the best disposition Fjord stallions I have 
ever seen.  I watched him many times when you was used at the Midwest Horse 
Fair, riding English, western and jumping - UNREAL - quiet and sweet. He 
held no opinions of himself, he was one of those horses that kept his 
stallion behavior checked.


Along with Nik, the owner is willing to sell a couple of Steinfinn 
daughters - again, keep in mind DISPOSITION.  - Fair Acre's Ole is a 
Steinfinn son - and carries that great quiet/wise mid set.


So here it is - you get the disposition and color,  all wrapped up in a neat 
tidy package for someone looking to begin a breeding program - I believe Nik 
can be handled by just about anyone without an worry and he and the mares 
already have the history and base to build off of.  Do not shy from the 
age - 15 is not old - remember how well received Hostar (at the age of 19) 
was received at the 25th Anniversary show.  Nik has tons of years of good 
work in him, and he deserves to be kept intact and allow this great pedigree 
to go on.

Hope I am not getting overboard on this Gunnar topic.  But this was a first
ever.  Yesterday I opened a new bale of hay and took it,Gunnar's breakfast, to
the other field and down into the pasture some fifty or more feet.  Then, when
he finished his grain at the barn, I led him to the gate and released him into
the field. This was a busy day for me and I did not get back home until after
dark.  I let him out of the field and up to the barn.  It was next morning
that I saw all this hay piled outside the field he had been in. I could not
believe it, he had not liked the hay and to show his disapproval, had thrown
it over the fence on my side of the gate There were three or four piles.
On checking, I had mistakenly opened a friend's poor grade hay reserved for
her fat minis!!! Spooky  Jean Gayle
