Extended Route, MA-ME-CO-UT-WI
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hello everyone, We are currently in route to the East coast, heading toward MA. We have been asked to extend this trip and go to Maine, Colorado, Utah, back to Wisconsin, then to Michigan. We have a few stalls available throughout this segment of this route. If anyone needs a Fjord transported to these states, or any states along this route, please let us know and we will give you a quote. Current Coggins and Heath certificates are required. References are available. As a side note, due to requests we have had in the past we feel it necessary to explain our policy regarding transporting horses. We offer the horses free choice hay (preferably hay they are used to from the farm they are leaving), water, and breaks every 4 hours. They also will get an overnight break. Please do not ask us to drive straight through and to not give the horses breaks, we will not do this. We realize the cost for you could be less, certainly, but we will not transport our own horses or ponies in this fashion, nor will we anyone else's. Our goal is to have the horses and ponies arrive to their new farm in the best possible condition with the least amount of trauma. This is a tried and proven practice for transporting horses as safely as possible.

Equus America, Kansas City, Missouri
This message is from: "Debby Stai" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I'd gotten a telephone call several weeks ago from a representative of the Equus America event that will be held in Kansas City, Missouri in April of 2003. She'd gotten my name from another fjord owner and asked if I'd be interested in bringing a fjord to this event. Amber will be due less than a month so I'll not take her but I did tell her she could send me the information and I'd forward it to any fjord owners that might be interested. I got the information in the mail yesterday, I've never been to one of these before so had no idea what it was all about. Seems it would be the serious breeder that would benefit from this, showing his stallion, mares, youngsters he/she produces. I just have 2fjords for my own personal pleasure. And the cost of the stall is 400., this she didn't mention on the phone or I'd have said no right away. The info mentions it is "John Lyons presents Equus America" and the invitation was to be a part of the America Breed Boulevard. It will be at the American Royal Center in Kansas City, Missouri on April 24-27, and at the Reliant Arena in Houston, Tx on Feb 6-9, 2003. If anyone is interested in getting more info they can write me or call Anita Mays at 937-859-4363. I know nothing about this event, know nothing about the facilities, just thought I'd pass it on, maybe someone has done it before and could share more information. Debby

re: water heaters
This message is from: Don Brackett <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Thank you all who responded! I knew that this group would have good answers. Seem like the blue heated buckets would work best for us. I know that Osa and Geilo would find floating toys just too irresistible! Found good prices at valley vet supply - $32.95 for the 5 gallon and $59.95 for the 16 gallon. Jane In Maine where it snowed about 3 inches last night and has been sleeting all morning! Very disappointing weather as Sunday is our trail riding day - no hunters.
Re: stock tank heaters
This message is from: bolinsj <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> There is a recycle center near us that makes plastic wood out of recycled bottles and stuff. If you haul yourself, it is not much more expensive than real wood and works nice in the barns. All our stalls are built from it. It is sort of like the decking, but less expensive and maybe has some 'holes' (bubbles?) in the interior that make the ends look less pleasing than the good decking, but it works great. We used a 'barn red' color so it also hides some of the dirt. There are some tricks to working with it, but I guess it is the same with the plastic decking. More reinforcing than wood. But way less maintenance.

It seems there are two buckets together and the heater is between the two bottoms. I do make sure it is never totally empty. So you do not see the heater at all and the cord has wire on it, but I still make sure it is not within chewing range. Carol M.
NEW FJORD VIDEO
This message is from: "Lassesen" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> NEW FJORD VIDEO - "Grooming Your Fjord Horse" It is "hot off the press" and now ready for shipping. This video was produced by the Educational Committee of the Norwegian Fjord Horse Registry (NFHR) under the leadership of Jane Sawyer as Chairman. Committee members are Lori Albrough, Brian Jacobsen, Mike May, Betsy Patryjak and Carol Rivoire. Board of Directors, Alan Merrill and Niki Whilden are in the video along with many others. The video is 1 hour and 19 minutes. It describes the different methods of grooming a Norwegian Fjord Horse. It shows mane trimming the THICK and THIN mane Fjord. It demonstrates washing and all different types of clipping. It is professionally filmed with a professional voice over introduction. It is a well done film. It also includes several great photos of Fjords around the country. The NFHR Board of Directors have been planning on a series of videos to help educate the Fjord owner and this is the first of what may be many. (Your input and your purchase will be the indication that this project was worth the time and effort. Please give NFHR your feedback.) This is a MUST for your FJORD LOVER or even your HORSE LOVER in the family. A great Christmas Gift for your SECRET PAL. Or even a great gift for YOURSELF. (One cannot have too many HORSE VIDEOS... specially Fjord ones.) WHERE DO YOU GET IT??? They are on SALE for $20.00. This includes shipping. WHAT A DEAL ;-) The price is the same even to CANADA... (Currently we do not have PAL available but we are working on it and will announce when the PAL will be available and at what price.) Send your checks/money orders (in US Dollars) to NFHR c/o Mike May, Executive Director, 1209 Appian Drive, Webster, NY 14580-9129. (Be sure to give your name, address, City, State, and Zipcode If it is a gift and you want us to ship it you the person you are giving it to. We can do that also. Give Mike the detailed address and a SMALL message and we will send it directly... you save the postage ; - ) AFTER DECEMBER 1, 2002... the price goes up to $25.00. PLEASE ORDER NOW If you get your order in before Thanksgiving... It will get to you BEFORE the holiday RUSH... (I know because I will be the one shipping it to you.) HEY BREEDERS... why not buy ONE TAPE per foal / FJORD you will be selling next year Give it to your buyer as a thank you gift. Or... give it to this year's buyers for a Holiday Gift. (Another great idea.) :-) The comments above are mostly mine as an individual... but as a NFHR BOD Member, I do encourage you to pick up this Video. It is well worth your $20.00 - $25.00. ENJOY the beginning of a GREAT EDUCATIONAL VIDEO SERIES. And a very BIG thank you to ALL of the Educational Committee Members and the individuals that help make this video become a reality.
