Gail the horses seem okay, thank God.  Charlie the big one is competing with
elephants.  I could not lift the one load.  His system is clearing out so
that is good.  The mare has been on small rations so she is not in a
delightful frame of mind but softening up in the neck.  then there is Gunnar
who is so glad to be home and talks to us, tearing about the field and
making ditches in the arena.  He has tasted his first grass for a month and
is in the usual head down position! Anne took such good care of him and he
looks quite handsome,

 I agree it is such a worry to have to trust someone but you do need to get
away at times.  Always so nice coming back and seeing things in good order,
on occasion!!  Jean

I would rather have an 18-year-old girl who works like a 40-year-old woman, 
myself (picky and fussy one at that).  I hate trusting anybody with my 
babies.  I paid the vet's assistant to do it the one time I left them for 3 
days.  Yesterday they left me to go to boarding school for a couple of months 
and I know the woman is good and have seen her horses, and it's still driving 
me crazy.  they probably won't even want to come home.  She has Arab 
stallions and Ida is quite a flirt.  She doesn't understand you can get 
kicked out for such transgressions (I don't think Miss Look-at-me-I-can buck 
and canter would care).  I hope your babies recover well.  Lots of movement 
now, no?Gail in LC

Maybe it's a "hinny", produced by breeding a Fjord Stallion to a Jenny
donkey...The head would then be more horse-like, smaller ears!

Yearling, Stud Colt for Sale

Hi everyone,  With much regret, we have had to reduce the herd.  We are still 
very new to this horse business and it takes awhile to get your herd  just 
right for your family, income, and riding abilities.
As you guys know, My husband is disabled, and we have found an awesome Fjord 
gelding for him, (his previous gelding came up with bad arthritis  this 
winter) BUT  we need to sell Harrison to get him.
After much prayer, research and discussion, we realize that we are not 
experienced enough to handle an up and coming Stallion, even though at this 
stage he's a gentle lamb.   
We really think Harrison has a great bloodline and conformation to be a 
potential stud for someone. It just can't be us.  I will allow the buyer to 
decide If they want a gelding or not.
His pedigree is:  Sire  Boe's Gustov (C-902) by Thorvald (C-284), and Mona 
(C-285)by Heino
Dam :Opal (C-701) by Hansen (C-348), and Jullie 
(C-308) (out of Rudaren)

Harrison (Harry)  is halter trained, doing well in halter classes, (open 
shows) and started ground driving, he is not acting studdy at this stage and 
has good manners.  He has the prettiest face I've seen on a yearling (thanks 
to Opal) and has alot of movement (thanks to Gustov and Opal)  
He will be big,  Opal throws  VERY large babies, and she is big herself .

Of course I am predjudice to this little guy, he is our first foal, but I've 
had other breeders look at him to look at his conformation.
I'd love to evaluate him but can't afford the trip!!
If you are interested, or know someone who might be, Have them email me.
I'm working on some more current pictures,  (I have two dozen of his first 24 
hours) 

Also got a Arab/Qtr/Walker Mare (10) in foal for a 2001 Mule, for sale, She 
does everything, except be a disabled persons horse,  Endurance, Trail, 
Gymkhana, 4H, poles.  $1700  Pass the word to your friends!!

I got the paperwork to send in my photo of Juniper.  But am waiting for the

i attended the bishop mule days celebration this last weekend in bishop,
california.  what a good time  anyway, to get back to the list;  during
the parade there were two women on fjords, dressed western.  i was too far
away to make out their faces.  the fjords were happy, healthy and
well-behaved of course.  does anyone know who these four were?  i am
thinking k.mac. from carson city.  have a good day all, denise in northern

hour so that we can be there!  He was up on his feet all by himself in less
