Now I Am a secret santa to someone too., I have to be creative this year So YOU Guys will have to guess who you are!! instead of guessing who I am My secret santa recipient is recently a frequent flyer user or maybe its a frequent gas card user.

She had no lasting effects from either the injury or the surgery. Lois in NJ expecting snow tomorrow (and a chance for the llama-like Fjords to get a snow bath!)
Saethersblakken
This message is from: Lori Albrough <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I just wanted to add my congratulations to Janice Lee on bringing Saethersblakken to North America. When I first heard the news that he was coming I was very excited since I had seen some of his offspring in Norway on our visits in 1999 and 2001 that I quite liked. The proof in the pudding of a breeding stallion is in the offspring, and Blakken has some very nice sons on the ground. His ulsdun sons Herman and Solbjor Borken, out of the mother/daughter ulsdun mares Evelyn and Edna, certainly caught my eye, both very beautiful and charming. I managed to get a whirlwind visit with Saethersblakken, Janice and Carl, when they picked him up after his quarantine near Toronto, I saw him for a few minutes standing in the trailer, and he was quite the gentleman. He is very dark with impressively high dark leg markings and a long full very dark forelock. Well it's great to have another stallion of such high credentials available in North America.

Re: Nova Scotia Beginner Driving Vacations - 12 th Season Innovations
This message is from: "Arthur Rivoire" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hello Everybody from Carol Rivoire at Beaver Dam Farm in Nova Scotia - All of us here in cold, snowy Nova Scotia are keeping the fires burning by planning the 12th season of our Beginner Driving Vacations. Each year we get more and more people returning to do the course a second or third time, and in the case of two of our guests, for the fifth time. -- We realized at the end of last season that we'd better get busy and plan something new for these returning guests --- And for the people who come to us with a little driving experience, we'll be offering more challenging courses next season. For instance, Preliminary dressage tests and cones courses for those qualified, and Training Level for the true ginners. --- So, in an effort to offer "something new" to returning guests, we've decided that instead of basing our beginner course entirely on the sport of Combined Driving . . . in 2003 we'll base some weeks around Pleasure Driving. That means ring classes and a lot of the fun obstacle classes; such as Gambler's Choice. It also means help in planning your "Turnout" (horse, harness, whip, vehicle, driver's clothes - colors- , apron, gloves, & hat) -- "Turnout" is something that is of great concern to all Pleasure Drivers - both men and women. *** I'll never forget my first experience with a "turnout". We were going to our first Pleasure Show, and the night before I called one of the officials, and asked what I was supposed to wear in the driving classes. She was very kind, and suggested I wear something coordinated with my horse and cart, and then she cautioned me not to forget my 'apron'. -- I, of course, assumed the apron in question was something like a kitchen pron. -- Hanging up the phone, I hightailed it to J.C. Penney's and bought a beige dress (to match my horse) and a black hat (to match her stripe), and some black cotton material to make an apron. -- With all the things to do getting ready to leave early in the morning, I didn't have time to make my apron, so stitched it up by hand in the truck on the way to the Maine Carriage Days Show. -- Everybody was so kind to us that weekend. Nobody laughed at my short-sleeved, knee-length beige J.C. Penny dress. And, they didn't even snicker when they saw my little square of black cloth tied around my waiste with a bow in the back. --- I drove Uloza that weekend. She was, (and still is), a fabulous mare that we had imported from Holland. At the time of this show, we'd just weaned her filly the week before, and she still had an impressive milk bag. She didn't have shoes, and her harness was a $150 Amish job that didn't fit too well. To say that our "Turnout" left something to be desired, is a big understatement -- However, nobody laughed, and in fact, they were exceedingly kind seeking us out to offer advice and help us with the impossibly ill-fitting harness. -- Despite it all, we won one of the pleasure classes (Novice probably). And I'll never forget the judge, Sheila Libby Alexander, actually followed us out of the ring to say - "I just love your horse!". -- So, that was our first experience in Pleasure Driving. At Beaver Dam Farm next summer, our Pleasure Driving Weeks, as well as the Combined Driving weeks will continue to be formatted for beginner drivers, but we'll also accomodate and challenge those guests coming to us with a bit more experience. The fact we have so many teachers and such small class sizes allows us to customize our teaching. Whether it's Combined Driving, or Pleasure Driving, two basic elements of our courses will remain the same - #1 - Our goal is to teach you how to drive correctly and safely - #2 - We never forget that the name of our program is Nova Scotia Beginner Driving Vacation - and the two key words are "Beginner" and "Vacation". -- Arthur and I and the staff have a heck of a time doing these vacations and from all reports, our guests have a great time as well. "Best horse vacation I've ever been on" . . . . "It was the best vacation in 35 years of marriage" . . . . "Best vacation of our lives" . . . "Your farm has everything I love" . . . The house we rent on the farm that we call "The Charming Cottage" is already rented for some weeks of the season, and it rents earlier and earlier each year. So, if you'd like to stay on the farm, please call soon. Otherwise, there are lots of nice Bed & Breakfasts, plus other cottages, motels and small inns. Our rates have remained the same for several years, and although they were scheduled to go up next year, we've decided to hold the line for one more year. We hope you'll join us this summer. We've got some wonderfully pleasant and safe Fjordhorses to drive, and to tell you the truth, there's no better place on earth than Nova Scotia in the summertime. -- Winter, I must say, is something else entirely. Best Regards, Carol Rivoire In both http://www.beaverdamfarm.com B

Traviata
This message is from: GAIL RUSSELL <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> It may help to know that I knew of a horse with a very similar injury that recovered just fine. In that case, too, they let the wound heal from the inside out. Fortunately, it drains easily due to the location. That horse had gone up in a horse trailer that had wooden sides, and no top...and then come down with her front leg on the outside of the side. Is there plywood sticking up above a fence somewhere that she could have come down on. Or a tree limb that she could have gotten stuck in...while trying to debark the tree? The wound on Traviata is between her front legs and is at least 8 inches >deep, how she did it we don't know. >If you are a praying person please keep Linda and Traviata in your prayers.

Welsh for sale or trade
This message is from: "Debby Stai" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Just wanted to let everyone know we still have a young welsh that we are hoping to sell or trade for a fjord. He can be seen at www.geocities.com/halfpass1981/main.html. His name is Court, he's a gray, 3 1/2yrs. old. We'd gotten him for driving, which he doesn't seem to like too terrible much, so our dressage daughter has worked with him now since this last summer. He is doing very very well, he'll make a wonderful pony for a youngster but again he is just 3 1/2 so needs adult supervision and an understanding kind person. My daughter is 21yrs., 5'3", 100lbs, and he has not had any problems with her riding him, though the sessions are short and sweet. We're looking for another fjord so my husband and I can ride together, his old QH has sidebone issues and we'd just like to be able to ride together with a pair of fjords. We do not need one that is finished, thats what we have the daughter for : )), but a kind, willing, sound fjord would be great. Thanks for your consideration. Debby in Missouri, we had 4inches of snow and my young "Langster" is loving it.

Christmas Parade
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi Everyone, We have been real busy here in the Foggy Bitteroot Valley, Our daughter, and main trainer/ranch hand, Mandy, is being whisked away (well, not to far) and getting married December 28th. A beautiful Holiday wedding, complete with horse drawn carriage (hopefully not sleigh). The day after Thanksgiving, Myself, Sarah Nagel and Mark Graves took three Fjords to a nearby Tree lighting parade in Hamilton, MT. Most of our Bitteroot Driving and Draft Horse club was present with lit carriages, etc., (BTW the Fjords outnumber the other breeds now Tee Hee). We dressed as Wise men and followed the wagon pulling the live nativity also pulled by a Fjord. We thought it quite funny how The fjords do resemble camels or yaks this time of year. We had a great time. Tone' thought all the shadows might be ice puddles and looked leary a few times but was very good. And Ori and Lara, Sarah's Fjords were wonderful too. It was a beautiful evening and we had a great time. Next week we are going to try it again in our town. Thanks to my Secret Santa for the clues. But. I have no clue who you are yet!!
