I was just out trying to get some of the slush out of the driveway and it is anything but light! What else can one say? Come on Spring!

We have passed the 100 inches of snow for this winter season as of our last storm earlier in the week. Our normal average is somewhere in the 80 - 90 inch range but I think the last 4 years now have been over 100.

Dear Pat, Pardon me if I stepped on your toes here, really. From the tone of your post, I am assuming I did, and for that I do apologise. I was simply focusing on the terminology used to describe an obviously nice head. I was attempting to define the colloquial term doll head, and specifically the importance that is placed on it, sometimes to the exclusion of all other (good bad) characteristics a horse possesses, and how that has ultimately led, along with other factors, to the demise of many good breeds of horses. Also,I cannot really remember,(as I delete most of my emails promptly) but, I think someone did want to know what the term meant, and maybe I got a bit carried away. ...But, if I wanted to get even more carried away, I could comment on your description of his legs as being: very clean, fine legs. You have mentioned an attribute,(fine legs) that when applied to Fjordhorses, is seen as a negative, not a positive.(Does fine = substantial?) Many traditionalists, myself included, would have no use for legs like that - on a Fjord. On a Arab or TB, OK. (JMO) ...However, to each his own, and like you said, the decision is in the (Evaluation) pudding.

Re:scent
This message is from: Pat [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fjords DO smell different than other horses! Could it be because their teeth are bad and their testicles are stuck up in their gut? I'm sorry guys - but it has been the longest winter of my life and I need laughter. Thanks for an outlet. Pat
Re:head
This message is from: Pat [EMAIL PROTECTED] OK folks...I have always heard this in the context of Quarter Horse 'speak' for a cute (little) head. All well and good, as long as you are not looking at just the head as an end in itself, and begin to ignore the WHOLE picture; this is a horse darn it, NOT a Gerber baby ;^/ Karen- My complete post read: Tico has this unbelievable movement - long, light and very very airy. His disposition is to die for. He has very clean, fine legs - unreal balance, long deep hip and a doll baby head. I covered movement, disposition, legs, body type: balanced depth of hip - as well as his head appearance. I can assure you his head is not the one reason we bought him, nor feel that is his only good quality. I also covered lineage (Inco by Illiano on the top and Havstad on the bottom). If I did not create a whole picture description - and whole picture justification for this guy to be kept intact until proven otherwise - then I do not know what else I can say to create that whole picture. I can assure you I would never advise anyone to breed purely on one quality alone. Nor would I advise the purchase of a horse on one quality alone. Speaking of descriptions, at the conformation and performance training seminars the description :butt ugly came up and a very highly regarded and respected member of our Fjord group took good natured kidding about it. Would anyone care to define and elaborate on this term? With humor Pat
