But what are you going to ask them to stop?  The messages can come from 
people you know, they can have different files attached & they can have 
different subjects.  This one isn't an easy one to stop before it gets to 
you.


You just have to be really careful & don't run the attachments if you were 
not expecting one from someone.  You have to actually open & run the 
attachment before it will spread to your computer.

Hi Curt,
I believe most of the registered Fjords in Canada do not show up in the
database because they are not American registered.


You are correct.  The only Canadian registered horses that will show up in 
the NFHR pedigree database will be those that are also registered with the 
NFHR.  I can't keep track of the owners of horses that are not registered 
with the NFHR (it is hard enough keeping the ones that are registered up to 
date).




For example, the data from NFHR indicated no Fjords in the province of
Saskatchewan. However, The Canadian Livestock Registry shows 40 current
members of the Fjord registry in Sasktachewan. A couple of these people
have up to 20 Canadian registered Fjords. It is similar in other
provinces, such as Manitoba and Ontario.


Certainly true.  The CFHA has over 2000 horses registered I believe.

Hi Curt,
I believe most of the registered Fjords in Canada do not show up in the

For example, the data from NFHR indicated no Fjords in the province of

 There are some who have been breeding Fjords in Canada for 20 years
that have never registered them with the American registry. Some of
their horses appear in the NFHR in the pedigrees of American registered
horses. But they are often listed as "unknown" breeder or country.

I got this information from looking through the records of the Canadian
Livestock Registry at:

Yes, folks, this one is real.  I have several friends
who raise llamas and regularly correspond among
themselves via email.  Someone in this group
unknowingly opened an attachment which contained this
thing and it infected her computer and sent the
message to everyone in her email address list.  Now
they all have let everyone they correspond with know
NOT to open anything which states "I sent this to you
for your advice" or words to that effect.  Apparently
you can't 'catch' it unless you open the attached
file.  So, do beware of things sent for your
perusal/advice - even if it comes from someone you
know.  Check with them to see if they really DID send
you something to look at before opening that file!

Amen to posts about the fjords ability to handle unusual situations even
if stubborness is part of the procedure.  In the past 2 years of trail
riding Loki, we've had 2 turkey vultures to burst out of the underbrush
right under his nose and one leaping groundhog (which scurried down a
tree then took a flying leap into the underbrush just as we approached)
to startle us.  Loki did turn around each time and take 1 or 2 strides
then stop and decide that he had expended enough energy already so our
ride continued quietly.  None of my other horses would've stopped or have
calmed down so quickly.  Loki has also been in a wedding (carrying a
"medieval bride") and been to church as a circuit riding horse.  He can
be a gem!  My friends love for him to lead the trail rides because he is
so calm and has a calming influence on their mounts.Sandra in Va.

Blue Earth Evaluation

2001-07-25 Thread Mike May

This message is from: Mike May <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

The Evaluation went very well again this year.  Hopefully the remaining 3 
for the year will run as smoothly as Blue Earth's did.  My thanks to all 
that helped to make it run so well.  To name just a few - Tom Hans & Sophie 
Fiedler were the coordinators an had everything organized and planned out 
well ahead of time.  They made the whole process look easy!  Then we had 
the Sadlons, Hotovys, Falcks, Fiedlers, Monheims & Hans' crews all helping 
anywhere they could.  I know there are more that I am missing or that did 
things in the background that I didn't even know about too.  I am sorry if 
I forgot anyone.


I do have to give a great big thanks to Nick.  Nick is Mike & Suzie 
Sadlon's grandson and the best  under 18 helper I have had at one of these 
events yet.


Thank You Nick!

So even with the 2 hour rain & thunderstorm delays each morning & the 90 
plus temps in the afternoon we had a very good Evaluation.


I won't try to give any results via the list but there were some very nice 
horses presented at the Evaluation.  The quality is definitely improving 
every year.  The results will be printed in the next Herald if I can put 
them together in time.  Now I have to get working on Libby's Evaluation next.

course, a better source for Canada is the Canadian registry.

After I put the original message on the digest, I realized that a many of the 
list members are at the Blue Earth Evaluations and Show.  Enjoy!
