Let it snow!
This message is from: "Knutsen Fjord Farm" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hi all - We are only 4 days back from La Paz and my jellyfish stings itch like crazy! But we got 10 inches of beautiful snow today with more coming down. What a treat! And what a transition! Finally got our "Erlend's kids" calendar finished. I can cover my expenses if I charge $9.00 for each, including postage. Let me know privately if you want one. The kiddies are intrigued by the snow, of course, running, shoveling, pawing, snorting, rolling, bucking, etc. I'm even doing a bit of that myself Well, off to bed.

New Farrier in Williams Oregon...and neighboring towns.
This message is from: GAIL RUSSELL <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> My bad fortune may be your good fortune. My farrier moved to Williams Oregon. I am not exactly sure where that is, but I know that he said it is near Grant's Pass and Cave Junction. The guy does good work, arrives on time, and is someone you can trust to do his absolute best when he shoes/trims your horses. He and his wife are Natural Horsemanship people...from the school of folks who actually learned how to ride because they had to collect cattle with their horses. Really nice people. They inherited a house, and then saidwe do not want to live in the suburbs of California...life is in Oregon. I wish them the bestand maybe a few Fjord clients. I have their e=mail addressand a phone number somewhere on my computer. If you are in the area, and need a farrier, let me know. Tell them "Gunthar sent us." (Claude (Bentley) liked Gunthar.

Buckles-Up Halters
This message is from: "Dave McWethy" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Note: the Buckles-Up Halters are the ones with buckles on top of the
noseband, so when you are in crossties, and wish to remove the halter and
put it around the horse's neck, all you have to do is open the buckle on the
nose, and the halter is in place on the neck.
Now that Thanksgiving is past, we're on the downhill slope towards
Christmas. If you are looking for halters with buckles on top of the
nosebands, which were popular as presents last year, you can see them, with
prices on http://www.horseharness.com/halter.html I will add that draft
sizes are $1.00 higher. The prices are the total amount - no tax, no
shipping cost. And we can process credit cards this year.
Fit is always an issue. I can recommend by general category ("large pony"
"small horse" "large horse" etc) but I also have a table of measurements
which I can email if someone needs it. Adult Fjords usually take a #600,
and the largest take #700's.

Re: Release for SELLERS OF HORSES
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I do realize that it along with any release can be beaten in court but hopefully it would make some people think twice about suing. I am truly enjoying riding Nina in our very warm fall weather. Sometimes I take my 3 year old niece on her with me. Now Kayleigh runs into the barn calling "her Nina." I am definitely a Fjord lover now. I always knew they must be something special as we have had the Fjord/Arab cross Frodo for 20 years and he's still one of the best all around horses in the barn. He's used for everything in the Therapeutic Program plus with the so called able bodies people he does Pony Club, Events, Jumper Shows (would jump the moon if you pointed him at it) and vaulting and probably something I forgot. He got his name because I thought he looked like a "Hobbit" pony when we got him. Robyn in 80 degree MD. today

This message is from: "Jean Gayle" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Yes Jean Eudora is better. In outlook you have to open to delete. Bad factor. I have had two iruses already from the list this morning. Thanks for the thought about eudora. I was going to down load but got confused over which one to download. Will do the light as I did not want all the ads, too many already, attached to the others. Big surprise here this morning as I awakened to three inches of snow. The puppy was absolutely leaping and bounding but Gunnar was very unhappy as the mare was in the shelter and would not let him in. Love these horses who stand in doorways and won't let others in. Brought them both up to the barn to warm up. Then spent a hard hour cleaning out ditches for run off. Its winter!

Re: Release for SELLERS OF HORSES
This message is from: "truman matz" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Roybn, We checked into this when we were breeding and selling horses back East. We were told that even with a signed release, it wouldn't hold up in court. All the "victim" has to do is state that as a novice to the horse world he "didn't understand" what he was signing, (and anybody who falls off a perfectly good horse could probably pull that one off with no problem). As we all know, cases get won in court that should have never even gotten to court. The release can't hurt, but it may also not help, either.

Ruthie ** Hi Ruthie, It's my understanding from what I'm seeing on TV regarding this *irus, that it's about the worse one yet, infecting about 10,000 computers in an incredibly short period of time, my own being one of them. Apparently, other than having an anti-*irus program, there is nothing one could have done to prevent it, and I sure hope I didn't infect anybody the two days this was going on. I NOW have Norton installed, hopefully properly, as neither hubby or myself know much about computers. But according to Norton, my system is clean and not only checks incoming mail, but also the outgoing mail to protect y'all. So everything takes longer now, but if it works, it will be WELL worth it.

Off Topic Messages
This message is from: Steve McIlree <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> If anyone has sent a message to the list concerning viruses and not seen it appear it is because it has bounced, and I will not send it on to the list. As for everyone who thinks they are being clever by using *irus or irus or other substitutes for V-word, I will install filters against every alternative you can come up with. I am sorry, as I know everyone is concerned with virus infections, but that is NOT the topic of this list. If you want to discuss the latest viruses, there are a number of lists where you may do so. NOT HERE!! If there is anyone who at this point has not installed the latest version of anti-virus software on their machine and update it at least twice a week, it's their own fault if they find their system infected. So get over it and don't use this list as a forum to moan. I'm sorry, but almost the entire message volume has come to discussion of this latest worm, and I want it to stop and get back to Fjord horses. BTW, I might suggest that as well as ins! talling anti-virus software, people could do much to prevent spread of E-mail worms by using mail clients other than those from Microsoft.

SO the writers of this crap tend to go for the applications that will affect the most PC's. Anyway I highly recommend Eudora e-mail.

The "Light" version is available but you get more features with the "Sponsored" mode. The drawback is you have to have some ads on the screen to help pay them for their product. The other choice is the "Paid" mode which has all of the features & no ads. You can usually find it on the Net for about $40.00 or so.

This message is from: "Dave McWethy" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Before I started Camptown Harness, I had trouble getting bridles to fit. I remember sending new driving bridles back to Smuckers twice (they should have known better) before I gave up on them. The solution was to make bridles. There is nothing complex about fitting Fjord heads. You just have to make bridles the right size. At this point, we probably have made more harness for Fjord horses than anyone else, perhaps excluding someone in Norway. I have joked that we make harness to fit Fjords and adapt them to other breeds, rather than the other way around! Not surprisingly, since my own horses are my models, Fjords are the most prominent on our website. Having said this about Fjord bridles, it happens that not all are the same size. There are some that have larger noseband or crownpiece-throatlatch measurements, and we make those changes from a "basic" Fjord size. The most common problem in off the shelf bridles is that browbands are too short. Fjords mostly require 18 inches, end to end, and occasionally but rarely, 19 inches.
