Re: Purdy Horses, PetsandVets,E-Bay, Real Men
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hello List! Wonderful fun reading here lately! Question: Wouldnt the town that the old Broadmore Hotel have a Chamber Of Commerce, or a Historical Society that may have pic's. of these illusive Purdy Fjords? It was a Hotel, and there must be tons of private photos of these horses pulling the guests around... Does anyone ever go to the E-Bay Auction on the Internet? If you do , go to KEYWORD, " Norwegian " and see the old 1890 Norwegian Book they have at auction. It has a man sitting in a cart on the cover pulled by a " guess what " I would love to bid on it, but unlike most books, it must really be a rare one, as 18 people are bidding on it with 1 day, and 5 hours to go ... its current price is 118.00 ... a little steep, even for a book filled with old pic's of Fjords! (?) I would like to invite everyone, esp. all the new folks to join us at Fjord Chat on Sun. night at PetsandVets.

Evaluation Score
This message is from: "Mary Barsness" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I have attended two evaluations. I think everyone is in agreement that evaluations are important for breeders to participate in so their stock can be evaluated prior to breeding. So far at the two evaluations I have not heard of a score that a horse should receive in order for it to be considered good breeding stock. Does anyone know of any general guidelines? I know the conformation score is made up of many components and a horse may not earn enough point to earn a blue due to its lack of appropriate Fjord marking or maybe it doesn't posses enough "presence' yet this same horse may overall be very sound etc. I was just wondering peoples thoughts on this. Thanks, Mary
Marge, Bill, and Asta
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (BRIAN C JACOBSEN) Marge and Bill, Those of us who are veterinarians, or those who have been in a similar situation, admire you greatly for going the distance with Asta in the treatment of her founder. Most people, never having been where you are, simply cannot know the countless hours you have spent, not to mention the money, helping her. They'll never know the joy and hope when she has a good day, and the incredible heartbreak when she suffers a setback. However, how much you love Asta and how dedicated you are to your horses has come through clearly. Thank you. Brian Jacobsen ___ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.

Artist wanted?
This message is from: Ingrid Ivic <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hello folks, Uumm, just a quick note to let you know that I have been a professional commercial/fine artist for the past 25 years. I work in various mediums such as: pastels, watercolor, graphite, prisma color etc...If anyone is interested in seeing my artwork, they may send for a free brochure and price list. My specialty at present is creating pet portraits. But, before opening my studio here at home, I worked for several ad agencies. I have experience in printed materials, hand painted signs, typesetting etc. Working at home has it's advantages and disadvantages...especially when you look out of your window to see those fuzzy little fjord faces, beckoning you to come out and ride or go for a drive! Anyway, besides "tooting my own horn" here, I just wanted to mention my profession and the fact that I'm available to work on promotional material for the association. Thanks everyone! Ingrid PS...depending on interest expressed, I would like to make available T-shirts, sweats, stationary and other fjord related items. Just a thought! :o)

Results of Evaluation
This message is from: "Theresa A DeFoe" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hi I have a suggestion in response to Carol's e-mail yesterday, "But, EVALUATION RESULTS ARE FAR MORE IMPORTANT. Though, perhaps not totally "carved in stone," They are the basis for a breeder's decisions . . . to geld or not to geld . . . to breed or not." I agree with Carol that the evaluation results are very important to the breed. I think that our evaluators are very good. My suggestion would be that they have their own separate score cards and we average them out. Ideally it would be nice to add a third judge and do it this way. This method is very popular with the state 4-H horse shows and also with some of the larger Morgan breed shows like the regional and national championships. I'm sure it is used in a lot of other breeds as well. If we use this method we are relying on the average of three educated person's unbiased decisions which I think will make the breed even better!
