Seminar This message is from: Catherine Lassesen [EMAIL PROTECTED] FJORD FORUM at the Regional or National LEVEL I am thinking about hosting a WEST COAST FJORD FORUM in November here at our farm if there is interest. 1. Education on training, evaluations, feeding... 2. Forums on promotional event, breeding, history and any other subject 3. One on one, group to group, gathering of the minds 4. Social time to get to know the people involved and to share ideas, thoughts and the LOVE OF THE FJORD. Anyone have interest in going??? having a West Coast Fjord Forum in Nov. 2000??? Anyone in helping to teach or instruct??? You can email me in person or via the list... [EMAIL PROTECTED] How about having this event in conjunction with the Scandifest show in Turlock, Calif at the end of September or here in Southern California when the Europeans are here for the Dutch Keuring in mid October? I think this would allow more people to attend by consolidating events. Margaret Strachan Village Farm Nuevo, CA http://www.pe.net/~barry/

Blikkenfjorden
This message is from: Sarah Vogeley [EMAIL PROTECTED] Does anyone on the list know of the white dun stallion, Blikkenfjorden? According to the pedigree search page, he is currently owned by Steven Wilma Spengler of Hood River, OR. I would love to see a photo of him, as he is the only white dun that I know of that isn't related to my mare. I like his name too! Sounds like something I'd say to Gwen if she stepped on my foot! :) _ Sarah Vogeley New Forest Farm Charlottesville, VA
More photos to share!!!
This message is from: Sarah Vogeley [EMAIL PROTECTED] Don't mind my bragging... I just thought if anyone would care to see recent photos of FC Gwendellin, my white dun Fjord filly, I now have them to share! She has lost most of her winter coat, and she's looking absolutely radiant! Email me directly, and I'll return the email with photos attached. Happy Spring to all! _ Sarah Vogeley New Forest Farm Charlottesville, VA

Do you just do a cut straight across? or what? Hi Carol, Our mare, Line, has a forelock that grows all the way down to her nose some years. I have NEVER cut it! I do braid it occasionally to keep it out of the way. Horses seem to see just fine with a long thick forelock, plus it has the added benefit of keeping the flies out of their eyes in the summer. She has never had a problem with sore eyes from the flies - and she never needs a flymask either. If having it in the horse's eyes bothers you when you are riding or driving , just stick it under the browband of the bridle or use a rubber band(like they sell for kids' hair) to keep it together - or part it and put it in two braids - there are lots of options to cutting it off.

Re: Trimming the forelock
This message is from: Bushnell's [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi Carol, I'm with the general consensus on this one, in fact, it is painful to me to see any horse with squared bangs. BUT, if you feel you just have to I'll tell you it will look much better if you hold the scissors vertically and just thin it a tiny bit. My one son has a FJ with a huge long forelock and he seems to find his way around real well =) Ruthie, nw mt At 09:44 PM 04/08/2000 -0500, you wrote: This message is from: carol j makosky [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi, We have all read about trimming the mane, but what about the forelock?

I confess I used to pull my Roza's forelock so it was above her eyes. She has such pretty eyes and I wanted to see them! As she matured she decided she would rather not have her forelock pulled, so I decided it wasn't important and learned to like her with a long forelock. It certainly is striking. If you decide you prefer a shorter forelock you should never cut it though, only pull it, or it will look dumb. If you're not sure how to pull it, ask someone from another breed who has to pull their horses mane to keep it nice. I sure don't miss those days of pulling long unruly manes. Lori A.

Re: Trimming the forelock
This message is from: Jean Gayle [EMAIL PROTECTED] What about braiding those over long forelocks and using them as neck rings? Look Ma, no bridle! Plus use as lead rope, fly whisk, bucking strap, boarding booster, tying to trees, driving harness (what is that part called that keeps the head up?)piece, starch it and have a unicorn look. Endless reasons not to cut it. Jean Jean Gayle Aberdeen, WA [Authoress of The Colonel's Daughter Occupied Germany 1946 TO 1949 ] http://www.techline.com/~jgayle Barnes Noble Book Stores
N.F.H.R. EVALUATOR TRAINING---- COLORADO
This message is from: Ursula Jensen [EMAIL PROTECTED] Last weekend Ursula, myself and approx. 15 other interested people attended Phase One of the first Registry Training Program for Evaluators.The BOD was represented by Tom Hans and Marcy Baer; and the Evaluation Committe represented by Anne Appleby, Beth Beymer, Tom Hans, and Pat Wolfe from Ontario Canada. Wayne Hipsley, Senior Evaluator for the Fjord breed in N.A. was the clinician/educator/mentor. We arrived in Denver Friday afternoon to a light snow storm and temp. of 28 F. A shock for us as we had left Calgary with temp. of 50 F. and sunshine.Sandy North met ourselves and Anne A.at the airport and we headed for Cripple Creek in the mountains near Colorado Springs. Cripple Creek is a revived old mining town now housing many Casinos. We arrived about 7:30pm and immediately Anne and her committe left to have a meeting whilst Ursula and her group ( Record Book Members) disappeared as well. After a short 'getting aquainted' most people headed to bed. Sat. 8.30am found us all in class giving intros and looking at the material presented to us. The Eval. Comm. has revamped overhauled the Programs wording and layout is now calling it the Eval. Handbook. Well done Wayne provided the group with an Evaluators Guide and Reference Handbook. These two documents became the basis for the weekends training and yes, the ever present exams. Mr. Murphy gave me the flu, so I spent some time Sat. visiting you know what!!! Not good for the concentration. The atmosphere was open, honest, and very lively at times. Lots of learning took place just sitting and soaking things up by osmosis. A wonderful lunch and supper was hosted by the Comm. which of course I had to pass on. In his presentation on Sat. Wayne used handouts, pictures, bones of horse legs, and slide presentations as well as the flip chart. The Educational forum was certainly there for those of us who wanted to learn. Sat. eve. at about 9 PM the day wrapped up with two exams about equine nomenclature and blemishes or faults. Folks did not stay up long after that day of classroom learning. Sunday AM found us back in the classroom writing the third exam which was longer, more detailed and more to my liking. I was beginning to feel better. We then checked out of our rooms jumped into a convoy of cars waiting to take us to a local indoor arena/farm which is managed by Taffy Plaisted. Fjords were visible everywhere so there was no lacking of subjects to practice our conformation assessment skills on. After a couple open book discussions about Fjords presented, the group was fed a wonderful lunch cooked ole chuckwagon style. Afternoon again was conformation testing on four Fjords. Each of us had four Eval sheets and had to evaluate the Fjords presented as would happen at a real evaluation. In our group were several Breed Judges who were very helpful with their questions and observations. Mary Wolverton, of Denver Colorado was especially helpful to me and my questions. By late afternoon the weekend was suddenly over and people were saying goodbys and heading out to catch flights. Sandy and Beth drove us back to Starfire Farm with Marcy B. and Anne A. where we stayed overnite and were safely put on our respective flights Mon. A.M. In retrospect the weekend was a trememdous success for the individuals attending and the Fjordhorse of N.A. Another gigantic step has been made by the Registry and Eval. Comm. to provide North American Evaluations. A very special thanks to Beth and Sandy who worked tirelessly in putting on the weekend and handling the logistics for everyone. They seemed to be everywhere helping us (with a smile). Wayne as an Educator provided us with the material, forum to learn, and support to get us there. Anne A. and her Eval. Comm. have worked very hard to have this happen and their hard work was evident in the quality of this weekend. From Ursula and myself a very sincere thankyou to all. We appreciate all the hard work and effort on behalf of the N.A. Fjord. For me this past weekend was like a long dream coming to fruition. N.A. has a very good Eval. Program for Conformation and Performance, and has now completed Phase One of Four Phases to train N.A. Evaluators of the Fjord.

SV: Trimming the forelock
This message is from: Anneli Sundkvist [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi everyone! I agree with Jean, I NEVER trim the forelock! I had my mare leased out for some time, and allthough I had written in the contract that the mane HAD to be trimmed and the forelock and the base of the tail was NOT to be trimmed, they cut the forelock off! It's now more than a year and a half ago, and it still looks a bit 'cut-off' and I've really worked to limit the damage:o) I don't think that most horses that do have long forelocks are disturbed by them in their daily life. A fjordgelding I once know who was competing in show jumping at a hig level had his very long forelock braided for advanced training and for shows, but it was left 'natural' for his every day work and it didn't seem to disturb him in his work as a lesson horse which included jumping, dressage and some trail riding. Regards Anneli
