Just a few miles down the road from the KOA - towards Glendale - we saw two or three Fjords standing off by themselves in a big field of 'other' horses. Any idea whose horses these were? Just curious. Mary > = Mary Thurman Raintree Farms [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send your FREE holiday greetings online! http://greetings.yahoo.com

hello
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi eveyone, I'm new to the list and want to say hello. I presently have a 9 year old Quarter Horse mare that I'm going to be selling. I've been interested in Fjords for quite some time and am seriously considering getting one. What can you tell me that would be of help in my decision? I've read quite a bit about them and have seen a few, but have never ridden one. They remind so much of my horse that I had growing up. He looked quite a bit like a Fjord but he was a bay mixed gelding. Thanks in advance for all your help. Regards and Happy New Year! Loretta :-)

She will want to know all about you and your setup and experienceBut all you can do is call and ask. She has no answering machine, so you cannot leave a message. Just keep calling 'til you reach her. I tried to call her today, with no luck, Will be trying again tonite. She may be gone for the day on Monday, so call tonite. I don't know if 'free' is an option, but she will tell you if it's not.

funny farrier poem
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I saw this on one of my other lists and thought I would share it. Before You Go The forge was cool, the bill wrote out, I had the cab door open. The daily score was seven shod, and one more owner hopin'. As George stood up, his check in hand, I thought I heard him humming, And caught off guard, I must admit I didn't see it coming. "Pete, before you go" he said, "You got another minute? That filly's got a lame off hind - I think there's something in it. I thought you might could take a look and dig around a bit, If she objects I'll ear her down so you don't take a hit. And after that, if you've got time, Old Major's shoe is clinking. It's only been three months or so, it's only loose, I'm thinking. A little tap should snug it up It won't take long for you. You do it right, it ought to go another month or two. And 'fore you put your box away, you got your nipper handy? The mare has just a little split that's going to be a dandy. Unless it's taken care of now, so maybe you could do it. I meant to whack it off myself, just didn't quite get to it. And if you've got some propane left to get some iron hot, It would be slick to just burn off that wart the dog has got. And one more thing" he said, "you know I really hate to say it, I like your work, and what you charge - you know I always pay it. But there's one thing that gravels me: would it be such a crime If for our next appointment you could try to be on time?" copyright - L P, 1998
Re: Stallion S.O.S.
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Does anyone know if he's found a home yet? I could give him a home as a stallion here with me (117 acres) and critters of all breeds, sizes etc. I just can't afford to purchase him. I could even come and get him. Robyn MD. where it has gotten cold
Re: cutting the Fjord's mane, any suggestions?
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I too use a Fiskars heavy-duty shear to cut manes -- the large utility shear sold for workshop use. I think it's under $15 USD. The points of both blades are dull, not sharp. One blade is, oh, about 1/4" longer than the other so the blades do not cut all the way to the tip. This design is a little odd, but I figure it keeps me from inadvertently cutting someone, including myself. I also use a brush or comb to smooth the mane out as I cut, so the stray hairs (at least some of them!) get cut. I also hold the back of the brush or comb against the mane when I do a final finish cut -- seems to give me a straighter line. I've seen barbers do that when they cut bangs. I sometimes use a lighter, smaller scissor to cut the stray hairs on and around the ears -- gives me more control. I never clean the hair completely out of the ears like you see on Quarter Horses or Arabs at shows. I personally think that is too much for a Fjord. Just a light trim of the ear hair so the hairs are flush with the outer edges of the ears -- I've heard it referred to as a "pony trim". For what it's worth, I clip the "goat" hairs under the jaw, but I don't cut the heavy whiskers right under the chin. I never trim the fetlocks or feathers on the legs -- just a good brushing is enough for me. I keep the tail cut even with the back of the fetlock joint -- long enough to be a good flyswatter and to look pretty, but short enough so it doesn't get stepped on or get much mud in it. DeeAnna
Re: Karen's Fjord & Older Horses
This message is from: "Karen McCarthy" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hi Reena, you should have absolutely NO trouble registering your boy Gustav...both his sire, Sven, and his dam Serina are registered in the NFHR and their Bloodtypes/DNA are on file. Have you familiarized yourself with the NFHR Pedigree section on the nfhr.com website? It's really neat...you can do quite a bit of research on it, plus,you can upload pictures to your horses pedigree page. Wish more folks would take advantage of this, as it would add a new dimension to communicating on this list: we can actually go look at the horses people are referring to. Hope you are all enjoying the weather back there; quite a change from out west, eh?!

Carriage for sale
This message is from: Vivian Creigh <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To anyone on the list who is interested in Combined Driving with a pair I am selling my FEI weight (250kg) Kuhnle marathon vehicle. Delayed steering, extra step on back , seat moves from right side to center, two small seats facing on back. I have taken many pleasure drives this fall with visitors sitting up front or two in rear. I find that people love being on the back as they have the option of standing or sitting. It's black with red pin stripe. I have used it for all phases in CDE. No presentation penalties under Daphne Kellogg.It does have lamp brackets and also an expandable rear axle. It's never been in an accident and is in decent shape paint wise for a marathon vehicle. Nothing a little touch up paint can't fix. This carriage is fairly new as it was only driven two seasons. For those of you on the Southeastern seaboard I travel to NC, SC and Fla. during the winter starting in mid February and could possibly arrange to bring it down. If anyone is interested please e-mail me or phone 802 885-5762 Vivian Creigh,Springfield VT.
