Gelding for sale
This message is from: Margaret Strachan [EMAIL PROTECTED] I bought this horse as a project. It looked like I would have a bit of time on my hands, but with the Keuring this past Fall, and everything that managed to come up the time has by and Buddy had not been worked with. Now my young stock is reaching the age where they need regular training, so, here goes: 8/91 gelding, brown dun, 14.11/2 hh. NFHR papers and registration ownership is current. He is what many would call 15 hands and large bodied, probably around 9 cannons, but not a draft type. Own grandson of Grabb and Dragtind. Handsome, sound, willing and very easy to handle. Clips, ties, loads, hauls, non-spooky, sweet with people, and very good with other horses. Has some training issues that can be resolved with time and kindness. Contact me off list for details. If you have wanted a very good, handsome large gelding and have more time than money Buddy (reg name is Gongma) is for you. Contact me for his very, very, special price. Located in Southern California between LA and Palm Springs. I can send pictures via email. Margaret Strachan Village Farm Nuevo, CA Who is very glad that the Fjord people in WA weathered the earthquake fairly well. I am quite the earthquake veteran being a native Californian and know how it feels although I don't worry much about it. Once you are used to them you can tell which direction the waves are coming from especially on rocky ground. Maybe it was the lack of rain up there--several of us CA natives were talking today and we couldn't remember there ever being an earthquake when it was raining. Lots of them though during sultry, unseasonably warm weather in the Winter or Fall. They say there is no connection, but few of us here believe that.

This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hello List, Amy, I talked with Brian Jacobsen about BNF Jera yesterday evening, just have not had a chance to share what he told me! Things are getting hectic around here! Brian says that in his opinion, BNF Jera is 99.9% chance a red dun. He says she has some signs in her coloring that lead him to that conclusion. The first being no black in her mane, tail, or dorsal stripe. This in and of itself is not so very unusual, unless coupled with other coloring oddities, such as hooves. All four hooves are uniformly a creamy yellowish color. On top of that, she is so very pale. Brian says the only Fjords which are born with 4 light colored hooves and no black are either red or yellow duns. Apparently the hoof color is the main indicator. Yellow duns are not able to be derived from the breeding of two brown duns, hence she is a red dun! (Boy, I hope I am getting this out all right!) Brian also said that both brown duns, sire and dam, must have this red dun recessive gene in their pedigree. BNF Jera's sire, Engar, was sired by Gjestarson 102-A, who sired at least two red dun fillies. Unfortunately, with Engar's lineage, the majority were not registered with the NFHR, so that is about as far as I was able to persue. Renate, the dam of BNF Jera, also is very hard to research, as many in her line show a bunch of unknowns in the progeny files. However, Grabb is her great grandsire, and he had sired at least one red dun. Hence, both sire and dam carry the red dun recessive gene. I hope this is fairly clear, and of help to someone down the line. I also hope I accurately stated what Brian Jacobsen told me. He has a wealth of information regarding Fjord colors and he is exceedingly patient in teaching and sharing what he knows. Take care!

HELP need info. to print about Fjord for expo !
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] hey guys ! Im looking for a one side, short, discription of the Fjord to print off for the Utah expo comming up. I am finding descriptions on the net, but find either too many photos to keep it one page, one side, or VERY out dated and even incorrect information on the Fjord horse. The OK. all breed sight has beautiful photos of Gene Bower ect. driving a 4-in-hand, put to a coach...but tells us that the Fjords have 22 imported to the US ( ) and that the mares range from 13.1 to 13.3( ? ) and worse yet, that they are easily BROKEN and need NO RETRAINING, ever after spending months at pasture, UNTOUCHED. Waaa ! OMG, can someone please update this and other web sites to responsibly reflect whats going on with importing, breeding, height, and personality traits ? Anyway, if anyone knows of a good, short, accurate discription of the Fjord that I can get permission to copy and distribute to the millions of fans at the expo next week, will you please send me their way ? The NFHR one is good, but has alot of photos, making it large and also has links and other stuff cluttering it for printing without lots of tweaking. Thanks for any and all help !!!Lisa ( begining to panic here ) Pedersen
Congratulations!

Re: Quaking in my boots ? Tips for quakes
This message is from: Jean Gayle [EMAIL PROTECTED] Lisa, what you say re remaining in a building is correct to a point. When you are in a building and it starts to weave and rock, and things are falling my first feeling is escape to flat clear surfaces. Two year ago I had just come in from seeing the physician (hmmm both of these last times I have been seeing a physician, maybe it is all my fault!) with blood pressure of 245 over 115. I got home, collapsed into my chair and the earthquake hit! The fireplace was swinging back and forth, this time we were ten miles from the epicenter where as the recent one was thirty miles away. My walls and doorways were swinging and I got out of there into my field. Did I mention I am on a bluff? In other words the home was not a safe place. Same with the doctors office this time as we were in the flats where they build on pilings over marsh lands. I had quite a time opening my door when that first one hit as it was at an angle. Certainly the pictures out of Seattle where walls and marquees collapse shows why in that situation you do not run under something outside. And the pictures of people in auditoriums where debris is coming down from the ceilings,,, I would have been the first one streaking out! Anyway I defer to your experience and will try when the next one hits, which we are fatalistically anticipating, to be in a safe place.

Re: Hoof and Mouth in UK
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Arthur Rivoire) Hello from Carol Rivoire at Beaver Dam Farm in Nova Scotia - I received the following e-mail from a horse friend in the UK . . . . . . . .And now following BSE it's the dreaded foot and mouth disease. It is spreading like wildfire and we are not taking horses off the farm and I cannot use my lorry, as horses are carriers. All hunts and horse racing have been cancelled, and even the date of the General Election is now in doubt because of movement restrictions. We cannot walk over open farmland and public paths are closed off. The knock-on effect is drastic too. Animal transporters are going out of business and of course there is now a danger of meat shortages. It has all happened because a pig farmer fed his stock from contaminated swill. Some were transported 300 miles to an abattoir for slaughter, some went for sale to other farms and came into contact with other stock such as cattle and sheep. These in turn were distributed all over the place, so there are outbreaks all over the country. Stock are being slaughtered and burnt by the thousands. It is probably the worst outbreak in over 30 years. No wonder farmers now have the highest levels of suicide in the country. What an absolutely horrible situation.

I'm home from Holland
This message is from: Vivian Creigh [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hello List, We are home from Holland and England. The big front page news was and I'm sure still is the outbreak of HoofMouth Disease in Great Britain. It was the leading news story in both countries. We arrived home to news of an earthquake in Washington. I'm so glad that everyone in that area is alright. Sounds like some of you were right in the middle of the action... My exciting news is I bought two mares and a stud colt while I was in Holland. Ofcourse my intentions had been to buy only one mare for myself but I couldn't help myself. My husband who accompanied me is a very good sport as he didn't bat an eye every time I added another horse to the shipment. The 8 yr old mare is a Blinken daughter and the 7 yr. old mare is a Tunar daughter whose grandmother on the mare's side is Holunder. I was able to see Tunar in the flesh and saw several yearling fillies by him that were quite nice. He is a very athletic stallion and a very friendly well mannered soul. The colt named Ultimo,is an Inco son. Inco is a German stallion by Illiano who is grey. His grandmother on the mare's side is a Toddy daughter named Hanneke who is a very nice mare. If it can be arranged he and the mares will stay in Holland for the stallion show March 31st and then come to the US. Ultimo will come home after 3 days in quarentine and the mares will go to Cornell for 2 weeks of CEM testing. In the meantime I am going to be all over the place. I judge an arena trial in NH on Sunday and Monday head for Southern Pines NC to drop off my daughter. Then back again for Live Oak where I will be helping out while my daughter rides as groom in derssage and cones in Larry Poulin's carriage. They are forecasting a big storm on Monday so I am keeping my fingers crossed that we make it through on our way south. I couldn't read all the e-mails in my box when I got home. If anyone was trying to reach me and I did not respond I am home for two days and my new e-mail address for those of you who didn't realize it had changed is [EMAIL PROTECTED] I apologize if you thought I was just being rude by not responding.

Re:Rock Roll Earthquake
This message is from: Dean / Mel Thomas [EMAIL PROTECTED] I'm a Program Director for a Therapeutic Riding Center. We had a class going on and I was in my office I share with the Executive Director (who lived in Japan for 14 years.) He hollered 'Earthquake'. I bolted out of the office, leaped over the railing and ran to the arena to support my instructor. the very old arena roof was swaying, shaking, rattling. She was helping one girl of her horse, I told the others to get the horses riders out of the arena. The therapy fjord mare was in the arena. She wasn't quakeproof, but she only 'shyed' about 1 step to her right with her hind legs. There were three 'girls' riding at the time. The two most cognitively involved riders were crying because the horses were upset, and they didn't get to finish class. The most physically involved rider, no cognitive deficits at all, didn't feel a thing. Her horse was quakeproof, and she said she saw the building moving, but didn't feel a thing on top of the horse. One of our little arab mares spooked the most. She turned 90 degrees to stare at the plastic coated windows shaking, bucking, and whipping in the quake. She didn't settle down for the rest of the day. However, the other two horses were saying, Hey, we get to stop classes early, Yeah, Yeah. More time to eat. No apparent damage to any building. Just nerves. My husband my fjord mares were out in the pasture, and didn't notice a thing. The birds in the arena however, got quiet left the arena before the quake. The volunteers noticed that. Immediately afte the initial quake, they flew back in, and started jabbering, jabbering, jabbering. Probably gossiping about what happened. Mel Thomas 25 miles North east of Seattle.
