Fjords in San Juan Islands
This message is from: "Teresa Sanders" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Howdy List Hi Mary-I can't find your address since I am checking email remotely. Hey list, Mary thought there were fjords on Orcus Island in the San Juans, Washington state. We couldn't find them. Anyone who knows someone out there please email me privately. Jennie is a horse camp counselor out there and wants to be able to get herself a fjord fix when she tires of regular horses. Thanks Teresa Sanders Idaho [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I recommend a younger horse that you can mold to your liking and with which you can develop that special relationship, for optimum performance. Of course some folks don't want to invest that kind of time but just as sometimes more money will buy a better product, so will spending more time create a better product and give you more for your investment. I think it was a wise choice to choose investing time over money and it sounds like your Elph bears that theory out. (tell him you didn't mean what you said, =) Ruthie
Cost of a horse
This message is from: "Pasqual, Tish" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I too have found the "cost of a Fjord" conversation very interesting. In fact, so interesting that I decided to do the math. I bought Elph as a six month old, having picked him out at three months (no, that's not right, he picked ME out), and he is now five. I paid $2,800 for the privilege of caring for him. Since then I have paid for board, farrier, vetting - over $10,000. Training - about $4,000. A saddle - $1,200. Training cart/harness - $1,250. Show cart/harness on the way - about $5,000. Then there are also shows, memberships, and membership meetings. And lessons, for me, my husband, and my son. It really adds up! That original price is dwarfed by everything else. When I look back on it, I can't regret having gotten him as a little guy. He is sweet, he comes when I holler, he rests his head on my shoulder and even gives something of a "horsey hug" - we truly belong to each other. He was very, very trustworthy right off the bat for driving, and has only gotten better at it as we practice. He is proving to be a delightful trail partner, and I am even having some very nice moments in the arena now. BUT - I did not know what I was getting into with a youngster. If I had purchased a nice, well-trained 8 year old who could ride and drive, I would have had a "useful" horse immediately instead of still being in the "green" horse mode that I currently continue to be in. I don't have any other horses - he is and probably always will be my "only." So, four and a half years go by, and he has gone from being a pasture ornament to more and more useful, but my those years can crawl by when you want to just hack out with total trust, or drive ! in a show, or whatever. Note the original cost plus training plus vetting, farrier and board when he wasn't really useful - it works out to about what you would pay for an extremely well-bred, well-trained horse. My advice: if I had to do it over again, I would find a nice guy I could fall in love with that was very well-trained. Tish and her darling Elph in Minneapolis - wish we could share our abundance of rain with all you folks who need it

This message is from: Jean Ernest <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> An even better description of the filming with the Fjords was written by Anita for the Fjord Herald and came out in the Winter 1999, Issue #49.

bad computer - back on line
This message is from: John Bolinski <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hi, Martie in MD here. We have had some computer problems the last 2 weeks, so if anyone on the list has sent me private messages, that's why you haven't seen a reply. Please resend anything important. Sorry, but we did get a new computer and are once again up and running. Now to rescue the old messages that did not fry. Worse yet, we lost all our saved addressbook. Congrats on all the babies this year They are all so adorable. I am so envious. Kilar is doing well on the 'pleasure' scene this year, and I think he likes it more than CDEs. He's such a good boy anyway even if he did act silly at draft horse day (more like daft horse day for him) but the crouds loved him and we did finally move all the logs. We only had to reset the barrels twice. He didn't hit them with the log, the silly boy pushed them with his nose. Guess he just wanted more room. We just did the Brandywine Valley Carriage Driving Show last weekend. Dissapointing not to see any Fjords, but we had fun (as vendors this year) watching all the pleasure classes. We did talk to a couple Fjord owners. So different from the usual, as we normally push cones and run errands and never get to see any classes :-)) Martie in MD Twin Oaks Graphics
