Re: New foals, BEARS, Colored Fjords, Gelding SOLD
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi everyone from warm, ( 87 ) overcast, humid : ( So. Calif.Ek. Hope everyone has a wonderful holiday weekend planned, we are stuck in a holding pattern, watching this eating machine mare, that is now due to foal. ( 30th ) We ran a cable from our old cam corder, to our VCR, strung it up over her stall with baling twine, ( very high tech ) and watch her big belly twich and jump from our recliner chair. We have caught all other foalings here using this method, just a little tough when there is a breeze, makes you a bit sea sick ! So far, shes all bagged up, nipples full, softend up back end, VERY uncomfortable, but no waxW I want wax!!! My mare streams milk on her last day, so we always know, but this one is going to try and trick us. ; ( Congrats Suzan on your new foal.! I would tease you about taking a refresher class in A+P, but have prob. heard it by now. Sophie is a tough one to change to a male sounding name, so would suggest picking out a new name ASAP to avoid gender confusion. Cant wait to see him in July ! BTW my Belgian is named Sophie. I have an opinion on BEAR SIGHTINGS while trail riding. YOU ARE WAY TOO CLOSE TO THAT BEAR ! ! ! I heard that some old packers in Mt. call those little bells you can hang off your horse, DINNER BELLS.enough said on that ! Interesting thread on the colors of the Fjords, I have a mare, very light, almost white, with a black stripe, that is out of Leigjo N-1945, the imported Stallion who has sired some white / light Fjords. I sure would love a picture of him, ( Anita ) if you are still on the list. Will send you some of Jule'. Diane, I also love the Durango area of Colorado, and also up the hill from you in Uray (sp?) May be seeing the sites there this summer. Michele, I own a filly " Oscars Sweet Korina " out of Opal, your new mare. I remember her, she is LOVELY and I will be interested to see Korinas sibling, who is she bred too? Korina is a sweet, beautiful tall filly, who is begining to assert herself in the herd, by keeping her buddies away from the feed ! Cant wait till she slows down growing a bit, typical 2 yr old butt in the air, and all legs. * Jackie ( PAV AUSSIE ) and I are playing hookey this weekend, for the Holiday, so there will be NO FJORD CHAT this Sun. evening. We will be back next week at 9 PM Eastern time, horse room # 1, at PetsandVets. Last but not least..Thanks for all the interest in our big Gelding we offered for sale, Knute was sold yesterday, and left this AM for No. Calif. Knute will be ridden by a nice lady, Denise, for trail, and some playing gymcanna. Hope we sparked an interest in her to drive him, and we are sure glad to sell Knute to such a wonderful home ! Miss him already.Congratulations Denise ! Be safe everyone, wear those helmets, and drive a little too fast ! Lisa Pedersen PAV FJORDS

Re: Trailriding & Bears
This message is from: Jean Ernest <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Up here in Alaska if we are going out on trails where bears are likely, we put a bell on the horse so as not to surprize the bear. I have been known to start singing when I ride up on the ridge in the woods to scare off bears AND moose! A mother moose can be just a dangerous as a bear, but perhaps not while you're on horseback. Grizzlys are the most dangerous here..A hiker down on the Kenai Penninsula was killed a few days ago..The thinking is that he surprized a mother with cubs. But don't think that grizzlys won't eat carrion...Dead moose and other prey killed by a grizzly will be especially dangerous as the bears stick around or come back and defend their kill. Dogs can be a real liability as when they run away from the bear they will often run back to their master, bringing the bear along after them! I would guess caution, bells and other noise, avoiding dead carcasses, bear kills, etc, would be the best advice. Know the area..Sometimes they close campgrounds or hiking trails in the state parks when a dangerous bear is around. And if you're on horseback, your horse will want to get the H*** out of there, so turn around (if he hasn't already) and hang on! Jean in Fairbanks, Alaska, another beautiful sunny day!

Re: Trailriding & Bears
This message is from: "Jean Gayle" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Never, never come between a mother bear and her young. This is instant attack. As mentioned no eye contact. Make yourself look bigger..rise up in the stirrups or hold your jacket up over your head. Yell. Altho the latter has had little effect once the bear is confronted. I have yelled and shot off a gun, not from horseback, and the bear does not move until I have left. They have never come back though. And yes the black bear is the most dangerous as it eats carrion and the grizzly does not. Or so the pamphlet says. Therefore lying still does not discourage it. On the rarest of rare occasions if a bear attacks, fight it back. Sounds impossible but hard blows to the nose are your only chance at that point. We have mucho bears and even my dogs can not drive them off. Jean Jean Gayle Aberdeen, WA [Authoress of "The Colonel's Daughter" ] http://www.techline.com/~jgayle -Original Message- From: B.

Bears!
This message is from: "Oscar & Shirley Anderson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hi all - just wanted to repond to the bear question (here in the top of Idaho it is truely bear country, and they don't all come in a small cuddy size,). I've had bear on my porch and in the yard, but have never met one while riding. I suspect my horses have all smelled bear (as well as moose, elk and deer) and their scent isn't new. It has always been my impression that any self respecting bear will avoid contact with people if given a chance. Make a little noise, conversation with a riding buddy or your favorite Fjord will let animals in close proximity know you are around - and of course, if given the chance you will never know about any close encounters. Shirley Anderson, in sunny North Idaho.

You can have a 17" for $250 or so. If you check some of the sites for Web developers you'll find that according to the statistics they have complied from folks browsing Web sites, well over half are still at 640x480 resolution. This translates to over half the people surfing the Web are doing so with 13 or 14 inch monitors. In addition to cost, desktop space is often a factor for sticking with small-screen monitors. Or they just took that new 17" out of the box and don't know how to change the resolution yet. > Have you tried zooming in on the document your trying to view? I have to admit that the 4.0 Reader which I just downloaded is much better at zooming in than were previous versions. I think it has come a long way from earlier versions. Don't get me wrong I don't like to get manuals that way either. I don't like them on the CD either. Give me the book please! > Would you be able to read it any better if it was in a word > processor format? Of course a document in word processor format can be read more easily, because the reader has control over the font. However, if an online document can be presented in word processor format, why not put it in HTML? You don't have control over the font in a printed manual either! ;-) I use it mainly for forms that don't convert to HTML without a whole lot of tweaking and messing around with. With Acrobat the forms can be printed out and they look pretty darn close to what they are supposed to. Try one of the forms I have on the NFHR site. The Registration Application is a good example. It has lots of text boxes etc that are a pain to get right in HTML. Try downloading it & then print it out. Let me know what you think about the quality of it. > If it is that bad try printing it. The answer for most folks is, "If it is that bad, I'll just skip reading it." For manuals I agree. I hate them that way too. === Norwegian Fjord Horse Registry Mike May, Registrar Voice 716-872-4114 FAX 716-787-0497 http://www.nfhr.com mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Lone Ranger and Tonto
This message is from: Mike May <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The Lone Ranger and Tonto walked into a bar and sat down to drink a beer. After a few minutes, a big tall cowboy walked in and said "Who owns the big white horse outside?" The Lone Ranger stood up, hitched his gun belt, and said, "I do...Why?" The cowboy looked at the Lone Ranger and said, "I just thought you'd like to know that your horse is about dead outside!" The Lone Ranger and Tonto rushed outside and sure enough Silver was ready to die from heat exhaustion. The Lone Ranger got the horse water and soon Silver was starting to feel a little better. The Lone Ranger turned to Tonto and said, "Tonto, I want you to run around Silver and see if you can create enough of a breeze to make him start to feel better." Tonto said, "Sure, Kemosabe" and took off running circles around Silver. Not able to do anything else but wait, the Lone Ranger returned to the bar to finish his drink. A few minutes later, another cowboy struts into the bar and asks, "Who owns that big white horse outside?" The Lone Ranger stands again, and claims, "I do, what's wrong with him this time?" The cowboy looks him in the eye and says,... "Nothin', but you left your Injun runnin'."
