Sue,
Those aren't hot flashes; they are 'power surges'. I have a tee shirt that
says that.  Have you tried the 'patch' for estrogen?  I like it better than the
pills.

Most women make the mistake of assuming that husbands will be trainable
and domesticable.  They don't have that preconceived notion about their
horses or dogs.

as I have a seat to use.

Rolling on horseshoer?

Hello,
   Thought I'd share a 'Fjord moment'... I've had horse try to roll (with me on
them) in streams, drop on their bellies to thwart a horse fly, stop dead from a
gallop to roll - well you get it the picture.  But try to roll on the 
horseshoer?
   Jane was getting her feet trimmed, and started to lean onto her right
shoulder.  Not a little, but a lot.  The shoer just let her lower the shoulder 
all
the way to the ground.  Then she rolled onto her back, and started to scratch 
her
back (belly up) like a dog.  The horseshoer was laughing, saying "boy, she's 
just
a bundle of nerves, isn't she?".

  Good thing she's s cute.  I hope this is just a terrible twos thing.

The program/brochure for the NFHR Evaluation is in the making but if anyone
still  wants to advertise by sending in $10 and a business card to Peg
Knutson or Mike May (whichever is quickest) please do so right away. To be
fair and equitable we are only allowing  business card ads.

I'm sure there is also an opportunity to place an ad in the PNFPG show
booklet in which case contact Sherrie Dayton for info...The PNFPG is also
looking for raffle items . This would be a great opportunity for fjord
artists to donate a piece of their work and have it displayed at the show.
These raffle items are real important for the group as they support the all
important fund raising aspect of the group so please support the PNFPG.

We are gearing up for the big event by working our horses daily and in this
heat it's certainly been a challenge.

Shirley Anderson, I've lost your e-mail address...please contact me.

I am also looking for a room in Libbyso if anyone has a reservation and
will not be using it,please contact me right away. thanks.

I have just been contacted by a Norwegian Knitting company who made the
Norwegian sweaters that were so sought after in Norway this year. It has
fjords knitted into the pattern (not the actual animal but a picture) and
are very nice...I'm sure you will see them throughout the country at some of
the horse events as about 12 of us managed to weasel them from district
members in Norway this springThey asked me to see if there is a market
in N.A...IS there? Let me know. These are not cheap (circa $200) but are
a lifetime investment. UJ

Good questions.  The pooling was noticed 2 weeks after breeding when she was 
ultrasounded to see if she was pregnant.  After being bred on a HUGE 
follicle, she wasn't.  Vet said it was due to pooling.  And the fact she 
hadn't been bred in a couple of years.  Second time around, it was a perfect 
pregnancy.

The leaf is not from my garden.  My dogs, LOVE to destroy my raspberry canes. 
 I order it already dried from the health food store.  I imagine the wild 
berry would work.  Instead of freezing them, dry them the way you would dry 
herbs.  

I don't know if it is necessary from 8 months on, but it is supposed to help 
keep the uterus toned, and 8 months is a good time to start working on it.  
Not too much though, as you don't want early labor.  NOT that anybody has had 
that happen due to the leaf, but why chance it?  Anyway it did seem to help 
Juniper's last delivery.
