Amish dating buggy
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (BRIAN C JACOBSEN) I have a chance to purchase an Amish dating buggy, four wheel (wooden with steel around them), covered (has a top), for one horse, and it's in good condition. Can anyone help me know what to offer for it? I'm sure it depends on a number of things, but can any of the carriage builders or anyone with some knowledge/experience in the subject give me some idea? Thanks.

RE: virtual fjords!
This message is from: "Frederick J. Pack II" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hi Gail and Saskia, I sent both Saskia and Gail the picture of FJ that I worked on (via Jean Ernest). I also sent Saskia a picture of our youngest Fjord, Hiejenta, who we obtained from Anne Appleby. Best Regards to all, Fred and Lois Pack -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Gail Russell Sent: Wednesday, May 27, 1998 9:47 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject:RE: virtual fjords! This message is from: Gail Russell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hi Saskia, The picture of FJ is on my "non-Internet Compliant" computer (well, actually, my completely non-compliant computer, that is functioning for business, thankfully, but threatens to crash if I ask it to do extras like go online). There is a "fixed up version" of FJ out there in cyber fjord-land that someone else is likely to volunteer to send you. In the meantime, I'm doing Internet stuff on my old overloaded hard drive computer until I can work up the courage to back up everything on my new computer, assemble all original disks and reformat. Sorry for the delay, and my computer wimpiness. Gail > >Gail, I lost the picture of Fj again... Could you please send it to me >(for the last time, I promise!!!).

Round Pen Work
This message is from: Starfire Farm <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Being like everyone else on this list, I have too many horses and too little time! (Can you ever have too many Fjords?) In an effort to keep everyone (including myself) properly exercised, I have been playing with our three Fjords in the round pen (actually, it's a 60' x 60' square pole barn, but it still works), all at the same time. I have, in the past, worked with all of them individually, getting them to "hook on" and to follow the minimal body changes that I make for changes in pace and direction. Adding one or two horses to the picture really makes the work interesting! I started with two, then added a third, then (much to his chagrin) added our Morgan gelding to the bunch. What I find really interesting is that, by working them all together, they start getting into "work mode" and will trot up three abreast (the Morgan won't join in with this, at this point), or in a single line based upon my body positioning! Any squabbling that might occurr is dealt with by singling out the horse doing the squabbling, making him work a little harder for a couple of rounds, then letting him back in with his friends. After that, he is more than happy to stay in step with the rest. I am interested, in the future, in putting together a 4 in h I have also learned that, while the one horse is being singled out, the remaining horses seem to understand what is going on, and will stay together until the "Prodigal son" returns. This has been some very fun, amusing and interesting work! If you are fortunate enough to have a round pen accessible to you, I highly recommend trying this! In the future I would like to put together a four-in-hand and would like some commentary from those with experience in building teams on how they chose their horses, and how they "fit" together. A friend of mine who has Percherons lunges his horses together, all attached by the halters with trailer ties (he's actually had as many as six abreast!) to get them thinking about working as a team as well as getting him listening to his voice. In the meantime, thanks for the interesting reading! And, Saskia, I finally visited your web page. What a wonderful way for folks to learn about each other. I wish we could all send pictures! Happy Fjording! Beth, Sandy and the Gang Maerta, John Arthur, Magnum and the Non Fjords. P.S. - Our chickens eat potaoes!
Re: Fjords and equipment for sale
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Amy K White) Hello all. A fellow Fjord-lover here in Nebraska is in poor health and must sell his Fjords and equipment. He does not have access to this list, so we offered to post this message on his behalf. He has 2 registered geldings, half-brothers, ages 4 and 5 , broke to drive single or double and is asking $3000 for each. Also some very nice harness, carts, and wagons for very reasonable prices, as well as collars and miscellaneous items. Steve and I visited him last year and can tell you that his horses are well-broke and his harness and equipment are in good to excellent condition. We would love to have the horses ourselves, but our stable is full at the moment! If you are interested, please e-mail us privately and we can provide you with the complete list and prices. _ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.
