Is there any way to find out who is who and the horses name in the Libby

show photos?  This was my first show so I haven't met everyone and their

horses yet.



Horse Cart

2002-11-26 Thread Skeels, Mark A (MED)
This message is from: "Skeels, Mark A (MED)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Hi everyone, Have a question on a horse cart. I am trying to find one
for my wife for Christmas. I looked at a couple today, the only problem
I saw was the shaft poles were 22 and 24 inches wide through the last
couple feet of the poles. This ordinarally wouldn't be a problem but my
horses all seem to measure about 27-30 inches wide in the belly. Most
pictures I have seen show the shafts a couple inches away from the horse
on each side. Could someone measure the distance of their shafts in
between, (where the horse belly would be positioned) and also at the
tips. The one had wooden shafts, somewhat springy but I don't think you
would want too much tension on the horse. 

Also how long should the shafts for a 14.1-14.2 Fjord be from the cross
bar/splinter bar to the shaft tip.

The 2 I looked at had no adjustment for width, unless I modified it with
some machining and welding.

I have also debated building my own, I don't have any problem with that
as I am pretty handy with metal work and welder, but these dimensions I
would still need to know.

Also, I noticed some of the pictures the shafts were fairly level,
others the shafts rise about 5 inches from cart to tip. It seems to me
that it would be more stylish to have them fairly level. Is this
correct?

Any information would be appreciated.

Thanks: Mark Skeels

ps. Of course I suppose I could get my horses on a diet so they would
fit the cart. They probably will loose a couple hundred pounds when
starting to drive anyhow.



CDE's and websites for them

The ruling organizations are USA Equestrian (of course) and the American

ADS.http://www.americandrivingsociety.org/";>American Driving

This should help.  You can also do a Google search, and I think it is 
Geocities that has all the explanations for things equine, as well as 
everything else under the sun.  Also, go to Shady Oaks CDE website and see 
pictures...

psit is always exciting to watch the Fjords go through, since I just HAVE 
to cheer them on, of course!  And, at Shady Oaks I was able to watch them go 
as singles AND as a team (4-in-hand)!  WOW!!!

We don't hear from Saskia,  She had made this site  over 2 -3 
years ago.  Its a good reference.  I wish someone would make another site 
like it. Putting it in the Herald and linked to NFHR  would be nice.

Libby show photos / Calendars

This message is from: The Mercers <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Morning everyone,

We're having a 30* heat wave this morning!  The frost looks more like 
snow than frost.  BUT, the sun is shining and it looks like it'll be a 
great day to play with the horses!


Is there any way to find out who is who and the horses name in the Libby 
show photos?  This was my first show so I haven't met everyone and their 
horses yet.


Someone mentioned there's normally a calendar of Fjord photos available. 
Where?


Thanks for any help!

Stallion prospect for-sale

2002-11-26 Thread Mariposa Farm
This message is from: Mariposa Farm <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Mariposa Farm has a 7 month old stallion prospect for-sale.  He's by
Valea's Lee and out of Paske 2219-B (Per x Manda).  Bragi is very
correct with good bone and a great personality.  He has a gorgeous head
and a nice dark coat with good striping.  A pleasure to handle and very
easy going.  Moves out really nice.  We have shown him in halter class 4
times and he has won first place three of those times including Blue
Earth '02.  He has the potential and pedigree to make a great foundation
to ones breeding program.  $6500 (U.S.)  We might also consider trading
for another like quality stallion prospect with proven lines different
than our own mares and new to the midwest region.  Please e-mail or call
for any additional info.  There are some pictures of him at our web site
at http://www.mariposafarm.com
