It isnt just one call its a screaming session. If I happen to get up early and make the least noise thats starts her off too. Then she is angry when she sees me, ears back, stamping her feet and giving me that directional, the wave of the head. If I stop in my tracks she will look at me and becomes very quiet, immovable as she knows she has gone too far. Beautiful beasties. Jean Gayle --- A Subscriber at Techline

Colt Drawing
This message is from: "Catherine Lassesen" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Thank you to all that send in tickets and supported Hold Your Horses. The winner is. Carolyn from Modesto, CA. (I don't have the piece a paper in my office., ugh!) Oh, yah, she wanted the "FJORD", of course. We returned home to our new book at our door step. "Fjordhesten - Menneskevennen" by Arve M. Bakken, Jon Hegdal & Helge Sunde. Gayle Ware you're a star in this book! Anyway, had a long 10 hour each way drive with the horses. Said Good bye to our two 1998 fjord babies and one 1997 quarter baby. Hard on THIS Mama, for sure. (The worst part of breeding, saying goodbye to the kids.) Happy happy holidays, Catherine L.

thanks for all the info on cantering and strengthening
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To everyone who responded to my request - many thanks. I printed everything out and will start to do cross training. Now that hunting season is over, we can start getting out again and do hill work. I have seen some photos of Wez, would love to see him in person! Wonder if there are any tapes of him? Ursula do you put your cavaletti on the ground or raise them? I think our right lead canter is getting better - we don't seem to be careening around as much. But I sometimes dream of sending him off to Canter Camp and let someone else with better balance careen around on him. Beth, I really appreciate your input. We have worked in the square pattern this week- much easier said then done for us! We have a hard time staying in that outside rein especially going to the right - and in there lies our problem! Julie - I have never heard of EPSM, but will look into it - thanks all for the help and happy holidays - Nancy and Sonnie..

Fjord Inquiries
This message is from: Peters/Sylvain <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Greetings! I am looking for an well-mannered, gentle, and forgiving Fjord who has experience under saddle and harness. I am novice level in both disciplines but want to learn and improve my skills. I enjoy horses for the joy they bring as well as their wonderful de-stressing qualities! Gender is unimportant but experience would be necessary since I do not have the ability to train. I am able to arrange transportation but since I live in NH, visiting outside of New England would, unfortunately, not be possible. If you have a Fjord that you would be willing to part with and that you feel will be able to be happy with my abilities, please e-mail me at my home address since I am not logged into this mailing list. Thanks much in advance! Trish [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The problem is that donkeys, like Fjords, can get fat on high-calorie air.

Dinner bells
This message is from: Doug Knutsen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hi all from Peg Knutsen - I love all the "dinnerbell" stories. Our Fjords haven't thought up anything so entertaining [yet]--we rarely let them read the Digest. Silka and Pepper just stand with their heads over the gate nearest the grocery store and look impatient. Big Bad Stud Rocky either prances around looking [he thinks] dominant and demanding, or assumes his pitiful "hungry adolescent" look. Good thing I've already raised two sons who used the same techniques, so I am not impressed with such posturing. Marsha Jo - I'm incredibly concerned about your poor "starving" donkey! Should we contact the SPCA? Really, I had thought better of you Well, I have to go now and take Silka out for a spin so she can show off her new shoes. Happy Holidays from Peg and Doug Knutsen.
Steve's picture in "The Whip"

Wooden "Fjordings"
This message is from: Cynthia_Madden/OAA/UNO/[EMAIL PROTECTED] DeeAnna, The horses I mentioned are made in Norway. They are *not* the Swedish "Dala" horses. They are truly sillhouettes of Fjords and have a little history of Fjords in Norway that accompanies them. They are actually some modern hand made folk art the Norweigians have developed to take advantage of the growing popularilty of Fjords. The other Fjord wooden carvings you are talking about are the Hennings Wedding Party series that is quite pricey and wonderful. Luckily I have a few of these pieces as presents from Steve. BTW, the Westerheim (sp?) Museum Shop as well as a couple of the main street stores in Decorah have some of the best prices on Hennings horses I have seen, so if you think they are pricey in Decorah don't look elsewhere! Hennings also makes other Fjord wood carvings that are quite realistic. Cynthia Madden Omaha, Nebraska USA E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I have one of them here, it is really nice. Niki also has one of the ones from the wedding party. They really are nice carvings but as you say a bit on the spendy side. Here is a link to another wood carving site. Look at the Galleries there are some Fjords here too. These are not the Henning carvings. I haven't found them on the web yet. http://login.eunet.no/~arnemo2/workshop.htm Mike
Re: Great deal on imported wooden "Fjordings"
This message is from: "." <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cynthia wrote: "... Many of you may have seen the wonderful Fjording wood horses painted with Rosemallen designs in Scandinavian gift shops..." Actually, it was explained to me a while back that these delightful horse carvings represent Swedish Dall (Dahl? Dal?) horses, not Fjordings. The Swedish horses apparently are larger than Fjords, but that's about all I know about them. I like these carvings too, Cynthia -- they look like Fjords to me as well! Those are great prices you have quoted. There's another series of (even more expensive) wood carvings that feature realistic Fjords painted in lifelike colors. I've seen these sold around northeast Iowa, particularly in Decorah. One group of these carvings features Fjords carrying members of a traditional Norwegian wedding party. If they weren't so "spendy" I would love to collect these, too. DeeAnna
Re: dinner bell
This message is from: "." <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Our horses don't bang or stomp when it's time for food. Maybe that's because there's not much to bang on around our place -- our horses are in the pasture most of the time, although they do have a snug shelter to escape bad weather. I suppose they could kick one of the many rocks that magically appear each year in the pasture, but they haven't figured that one out yet. We do, however, enjoy a peculiar adaptation of the TV show "Bay Watch" at our place. It's the ever popular "Hay Watch" with two -- count 'em! -- two thrilling installments provided each day. The morning show starts about the time we let the dog out in the morning, and the afternoon installment begins about 4 or 5 pm (about dusk this time of year). The horses slowly mosey from the pasture and congregate near the barn or wherever we're currently feeding them. They begin to watch the house so intently that you can almost feel the pressure of their eyes and hear the rumble of their oh-so-empty stomachs. When one of us finally walks outside, a chorus of nickers and quiet whinnies starts, and everyone jostles for the "best" spot from which to get the nicest flake of hay. DeeAnna
