Has anyone on this list put up a web page with pics of our Fjords? I would
love to offer to do that if it isn't already available. When you all talk
about your Fjords it would be nice to know what they look like.

Deb, I think this is a great idea!   Don't know how difficult it would be.
I would enjoy seeing some fun  pictures.
A website like this could also include photos of fjords that are not reg'd

Yes, Norway was bombed and where our family summerhome is back in Norway, 
there are still ruins from the war.
We went to Rjukan a couple of years ago to see the plant where the heavy 
water was made and it was very interesting.  We had a couple with us from the 
US who wanted to see the place, and they were impressed how the Norwegians 
could maneuver in such steep terrain and how they were able to destroy the 
boat carrying the heavy water.  But of course, many innocent Norwegians lost 
their lives in that incident.
But talking about steep terrain, - that is where the Norwegians have great 
experience, as do the Norwegian Fjordhorses.  They do excellent in that type 
of terrain and they are known to be great packhorses in such terrain.  We 
used ours several times up in the mountains for just that purpose.

Jean in Alaska,

I have just started reading INTO THE WILD by Jon Krakauer. My daughter tells
me it is a can't put down read. I thoroughly enjoyed Mr. Krakauer's book
INTO THIN AIR, and am really looking forward to reading this one as it
contains alot of info on Alaska.

In my former life I raised Siberian Huskies for the show ring and trail. My
favorite bitch was named Ketchikan, and my kennel name was ABACUK after a
colorful Alaskan character named Abacuk Pritchard. I ran a team of five dogs
at one time but I was young and in good shape in those days. Driving horses
is much easier on the aching knees and body of a late middle aged woman. I
can't imagine keeping up with one dog let alone five now. I have yet to make
it to Alaska, but it is on my list of things to do before... When I come
up I will plan to visit.

I hope everyone in the USA has a splendid Thanksgiving with family and
friends and Fjords. We are entertaining a Japanese boy from my son and
daughter's school over the holiday break. I have already learned so much
from him  about Japan and he in turn got the opportunity to watch our
farrier at work which fascinated him. When I asked him if he liked horses he
replied, That he didn't know because he had never touched one, but that he
thought now, Yes , he did. He is an accomplished Accupressure massage
student who works on all the faculty at The Putney School where my children
go. I am looking forward to being the recipient of his talents after dinner

 Hello list!

 Early Friday (danish time) I wrote to the list about the danish family names, 
 but obviously it never reached its destination. I try again in case you are 
 still interested:

 Just to confirm that ’Pedersen’ is a very common family name in Denmark.
 When the inhabitants in Denmark were counted about a month ago the total 
 number was 5.363.718. And yes, Denmark is a very small country, we know it.

 The most common family name in Denmark is Jensen. When this year started the 
 name was used by 312.396 persons living in Denmark. Number 2 on the list was 
 Nielsen, number 3 Hansen and number 4 was Pedersen (used by 191.144 persons). 
 So in Denmark you don’t have to spell it – and though! We have a very similar 
 family name, Petersen, number 11 on the list and used by 95.232 persons. So 
 now and then the question ‘with a d or a t’ is asked!

 In Denmark a lot of things is counted, but if you ask me the question ‘how 
 many fjords do you have in Denmark’ I must admit, that I don’t know. When we 
 celebrated our 50 years studbook jubilee 10 years ago we estimated that the 
 number was 10.000.  At this years jubilee we haven’t been talking about 
 numbers of fjords, but we still have many.

 And speaking of jubilee: we had three wonderful days with visitors from most 
 fjord-countries in Europe (and 4 persons from the US too – hope to see you 
 again). 338 persons attended our jubilee dinner and I think everybody had 
 great fun. More than 100 fjordhorses were evaluated (our neighbour countries 
 Sweden and Germany had brought horses too) and in a show other close to 100 
 fjordhorses showed all the things a fjordhorse can do. We must get some 
 pictures at our website, when they are there, I will send a new message.

 Many greetings from Denmark

 P.S.
 I could add that the reason we have so many family names ending upon 'sen'  
 is that till about 150 years ago it was a tradition especially among the 
 farmers to convert a first name to a family name in the next generation.

 E.g.: a farmer had the name Jens Pedersen. His sons got the family name 
 Jensen  (you can translate it 'son of Jens').
 The sons first names could be Lars (his sons would have the family name 
 Larsen) or  Anders (his sons would have the family name Andersen) and so on.

 If the children were girls they had a family name telling that they were 
 daughters of .
 E.g.: Jens Pedersens daughter got the family name Jensdatter (datter is 
 danish for daughter) and so on.

 However this way of making names was forbidden by a dabusg law in 1856.

Nice to see others state that fjords are equines  need to be treated as
such. They need training. 
It is an injustice to the breed to neglect  this. The best pedigree in

We should all learn about age appropriate training  see that our horses

Fjord Wall Calender

2001-11-21 Thread Birgit Mortensen
This message is from: Birgit Mortensen [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hello again!

Saturday last week I wrote some information to the list about Calenders, but it 
has not appeared. I try once more. 

The most beautifull Fjordhorse Calender I have seen is produced in Germany. I 
saw it for the first time 3 years ago, when I was visiting the Equitana in 
Germany. The last two years we have been selling the German Calender in 
Denmark, and at our Jubilee in September next years Calender was sold. 

It is big and glossy and consists of 13 pictures (a front page and the 12 
months). The photographer is very good and the horses are shown out in the 
nature (as far as I remember the pictures are taken in the southers part of 
Germany/Austria).  People, saddles and equipment of any kind (cannot remember 
the correct English word for it, sorry, but I think you will understand) are 
not allowed. 

In September the photographers visited Denmark and we found some beautifull 
horses in typical Danish sceneries. Of course we hope to see some of the 
pictures in the 2003 Calender.

You can find the seller in Germany through the German associations website, 
chose 'links' and when you are looking at the list with the links go to 
'Sonstige Fjord-Websites' and find 'Fjord-Fan-Shop-Bayern'. There is a picture 
(not so nice as most of the months) of the front page of this years Calender. 
The price is 29 DM, but since the Calender is a big one you must add an unknown 
amount in postal cost. 

Best regards from Denmark

to Janne with love, Kirk written on it as my grandpa helped advise at the
set.  I was 1 year old.  Smile)

bombing Norway

Makes me feel better that we did not bomb Norway

The Germans did, however, bomb Norway.  David Klove showed me a fragment of
bomb dropped on his farm.  He said the Germans believed there were weapons
stored there.  Voss, where he lives, was an area of strong resistence to the
Germans.  I asked if they were actually holding the weapons.  He said yes!
He still, 50 years later, strongly resented the Germans for those days.

With the pedigree page already up wouldn't it be easier to upload pictures of
our horses to it?

  Has anyone on this list put up a web page with pics of our Fjords? I would
  love to offer to do that if it isn't already available.

 What a great Idea!  I'd sure be interested in seeing everyone's fjords!

If anyone is interested in reading about the resistance in Norway during
WWII, I would suggest the book WE DIE ALONE by David Howarth.  It is an
unbelievable (but true) story of one man who had to escape from Norway
after his resistance group was discovered by the Germans.  I couldn't put
the book down once I started it.

Don't have one myself, but know several people who do use them and swear by 
them.

 Ruthie, did you ever meet Doc?  Don't know whether he is even still alive?

I've know a few Docs in my time Gayle, a kind of a generic moniker I
guess... there was one in Troy who is now in a nursing home, but he didn't
seem the type =))

Sounds like your Doc was a very interesting person, hope he wrote his
memoirs.
