Congratulations
the perfect horse
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Well, I think I finally have to speak up on this. I try hard to breed an exceptional fjord horse, and have searched far and wide to build my broodmare band with the very best individuals available. In addition to my top-notch mares, I also have a small, dumpy mare named Grete that is built much like a potato with legs. She is a bit crooked in the front legs, long-bodied and short-legged. She is by far my best driving mare, and the most fun horse on the farm. She goes anywhere without a look or a question, with great enthusiasm. She is safe for anyone to drive, and has been a very patient school-horse at the driving clinics that we have held here. She is, in my book, just as close to perfect as any of the others --- although in a very different way. Just as a point of interest, this same dumpy potato-mare has produced 7 foals, and three of them have been evaluated -- two have a blue ribbon in conformation from the NFHR evaluations, and a third has her first premium under the Dutch system! She may not look like the "perfect horse," but you would be hard-pressed to find a more versatile, better-producing, safer, kinder mare anywhere, who is perfectly sound and produces beautiful, versatile babies. What more could anyone want from a horse? Jan
Used work harness wanted
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi Everyone I have a neighbor who is badly in need of a used work harness to fit a medium-sized fjord. If anyone has anything that might work, please let me know. Many thanks Mary Harvey in Virginia where the foilage has just about reached the peak

rocking horse
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Be careful of this size wooden horse. A lot are made in Philippino fakes. Though I have not seen a Scandinavian one before, this is somewhat similar to the carousel knock offs. My Danish husband says he never saw anything like it in Scandinavia. Any other thoughts? Valerie
Re: Quake
This message is from: "DT" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I know this is a bit off topic but when Jean mentioned the 1964 quake chills went down my spine. I grew up in Southern California and have lived in Northern CA and have been through so many quakes it isn't funny. Large ones as well that have done extensive damage and taken lives, the last being the S.Francisco quake not so many years back. I was only in 3rd or 4th grade in 64 but remember vividly watching the TV and seeing children just disappear. These folks were just waving good bye to a ship or something and then snow tumbled, roofs gone and they were gone right before your eyes. It made quite an impression on me to where I can still see them in black and white on the TV. Deb
