Bushy Manes
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I keep my fjord's manes roached because it makes the chrome show better. The black dorsal stripe is flashy. Now the real reason. It is much cleaner, I don't have a bunch of hair under the collar so less chance to get a sore there. It is also one less thing to comb. I do leave a tail right over the withers in case I get a stupid moment & want to jump on bareback to go for a ride. This "tail" provides a handle for the children that always want to get up on the horses. Even though no one expressed interest the harness I had for sale is no longer for sale as the owner decided to keep it. Another bargain lost. I do still have C-1404 for sale if you need a horse to teach you, & your horses the ropes in harness work.

Kirk Douglas, Vikings and Fords
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Ibm sure a lot of you on this list have seen the Fjord horses in the old Kirk Douglas movie, the Vikings. Ibd like to pose a couple of questions re the Fjords in that flick. A. How do they look re the discussion on what a Fjord should really look like. Keep in mind the movie was made in 1957. B. Kirkbs horse in the flick has a very bushy mane. I think it looks great. Why are Americans so uptight about how the fjord mane should be trimed. Thanks. RJ Stewart
Fjord Type & Driving Weekends 2004
This message is from: "Ursula & Brian Jensen" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Dear List from Brian Jensen; A short while ago the Fjord List ran some comments on the observations of Fjord type in North America. There were some very good responses which spoke to the Norwegian changes over the last hundred years now arriving full circle back to an intermediate Fjord with good bone and balance. A so-called modern Fjord. The interesting aspect here is the Norwegian stallion Njal whose picture standing facing another Fjord stallion looks very much like the Fjords being produced today. I recommend you read Tor Nestaas articles on the Njal story and look at the pictures of these stallions from back at the turn of the last century. The analogy I use when thinking about Fjord type is to visualize a two-lane highway. The Intermediate Fjord is standing on the centerline. The lighter riding type is on one driving lane; and the heavier driving type is over on the opposite lane. All three types are fine as long as they stay on the highway and do not stray into the ditch. The ditch to me means a lighter Fjord which becomes way to light and has no bone at all. For the draft Fjord the ditch to me means so much bone and heaviness the Fjord is too far to the other side of the coin. Driving Weekends---Trinity Fjords.---2004 Just to announce that we will have some driving weekends in 2004. If everyone who has contacted us about 2004---expressing an interestwe are full.

RE: Property for Sale...
This message is from: "Casanova, Julie" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I would love to hear about land that can be purchased cheap in Minnesota!

You can buy some very nice agricultural land in MN, WI, and IA in the $1800 to $2500 per acre range, sometimes including a house, well, and outbuildings. This kind of land won't be near the cities or resort areas and may not be on a hard surface road, but none of these issues is a liability as far as I'm concerned. DeeAnna Wilds of Northeast Iowa
