I think Cheryl Ballard hit the nail on the head with her hands on comments and observations. The Canadian Horse was officially inducted this year as Canada's National Horse. It has an interesting and fascinating history and background. One of the best equine arguments around by breed traditionalists is over who sired who??? Morgan owners believe that the original J Morgan stallion was the sire of the Canadian Horse breed. Canadian Horse enthusiasts believe the exact opposite is true. I suppose the truth is somewhere in the middle. Our first real introduction to the Canadian Breed was at the World Driving Pair Championships in Reisenbech Germany in 1999.Team Canada member Jean Paul Gauthier drove a Bay Pair of Canadians winning Presentation portion of the CDE overall. The Pair were big for Canadians--around 16 hh. The Dressage Test was not their forte however they blew through the Advanced Marathon. After the marathon I was having a beer with Jean-Paul in the competitors tent---and I asked him if the Canadians had anything left after the 28K or about 16 miles? He said that he had to hold them back or they would have had time faults for coming in to early!!. The Canadian Horse locally is becoming very popular used for all disciplines of riding-driving-draft. They actually have an Iron-Horse set of classes where they must do Riding-Driving-Draft. At every CDE we go to out here there are a number of Canadians competing. I have not witnessed them encountering overheating to date. The ones I have seen at shows seem to be more higher strung than our Fjords and it shows sometimes in the classes through mannerisms and resistance. Like all breeds of horses including Fjords I think we have natural athletes--natural movers, ---natural draft workers--depending on their body type. In my present four-up hitch I have a cross-section of all types. The Canadians I have seen profile this as well from the older style stocky type to the more modern type which leans towards Intermediate.-Brian J Ursula Brian Jensen Trinity Fjords Box 1032 Lumby BC, V0E 2G0 Canada 250-547-6303 [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://okjunc.junction.net/~ujensen/

RE: Fjord T-shirts
This message is from: Cynthia Madden [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi listers, I discussed the t-shirt issue with Steve this weekend. He told me that he had the t-shirt template(?) with him. It is a 4 color design and this what causes the problem - many t-shirt printers can't do 4 color. He couldn't find another printer in Omaha to do the t-shirts. He is going to look for someone in El Paso to do them. What the timeline will be I can't tell you. I never speak for Steve on what he will do or when he will do something. We are still not on on-line at the house. Maybe later this week. = Cynthia Madden Las Cruces, NM [EMAIL PROTECTED] (messages received on Saturday or Sunday can not be responded to until Monday) Free Pop-Up Blocker - Get it now http://companion.yahoo.com/
