Re: Anvil's Harrison and us
This message is from: Tamara Rousso <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> We met Harrison today and what a doll! He and my 7 year old son took right to each other. Harrison would put his head up against my son's chest and my son would cuddle him. My daughter, son and myself all took a turn on his back. He is a big boy - at least 15 hands. Very nice form. The only thing I wasn't happy about was the shape his feet are in. Very badly in need of a trim with chipping, some superficial cracking, and flaking. The owner says she has a hard time getting anyone out to trim her horses' feet and they all looked past due. We have a deposit on him and pending passing the vet check he will be ours. He is exactly what we need in a horse. The kids and I talked about him almost non-stop on the two hour drive home. You know when you have a really good feeling about something? Well that is how I feel about getting Harrison. Thanks to those of you who have given freely of your time with input on the lines and buying procedures. When we get him home and I'll see if I can't get some pics on one of those free sites to show you.

In Norway you have to be a member of a regional club to compete. Each club has its own events in preparation for nationals, where you represent your club. Like San Francisco, Oslo is its own city and county. Akershus is the next county. It surprised me to learn that, even in Norway, Fjord people are different, set apart from "regular" horse folk. This is reflected in club names. Most are called so-and-so-county "rideklubb" or "kjoereklubb" (riding club, driving club). Fjords owners can be members, but more often they join the "Fjordhestlag" (Fjord horse division). / )_~ /L/L Brigid Wasson SF Bay Area, CA www.Brigid.Clickryder.com

RE: SS update
This message is from: "Karen Keith" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Oops! That last post was meant to go to Cynthia privately. Too quick on the SEND button. But as long as it's out there, a big thanks to my Secret Santa, whoever you are. Your package arrived earlier in the week. It was a ball cap, tee shirt and decals with a fjord horse logo. Now I just need a translation from someone who speaks Norwegian: Oslo og Akershus Fjordhestlag Please, Secret Santa, 'fess up. Who are you? You can email me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] or on the list. My hotmail address is a bit dodgy on the receive side unless you're in my address book already. I used to get 50 "junk" (non-address book) emails a day, but hotmail went to a new format and suddenly I'm getting maybe four or five a day. I don't miss all the porn and spam junk mails, but I have a feeling other people's emails are not arriving either. Thanks again, Secret Santa, and a big thanks to the Head Elf! Good work.

Hi, OK I'm here and read the list several times a day. OOPS !!! Now you all know that I am an email junky, but the list is so interesting most of the time and not to mention very helpful. So what have I been up to. I have a new way of hauling great sled loads of fire wood out of the woods. Since I no longer feel confident to walk behind Heidi while she pulls the load, I now ride her and just use part of the harness to hook to the very large plastic sled. She snakes that load out and to the house in no time flat. My husband was most impressed when I backed her up to the sled load each time and Heidi stood quiet for him to hitch the sled even though she had a young maple sapling between her back legs. Then when done I just unbuckle the neck strap, the harness drops to the ground and she walks over it. My hubby picks up the works and I go for a ride. It's a ton of fun and I take family members for rides that way too. Today I saddled up and used the easy boots with studs attached for a nice ride before our weather gets very cold. I am so glad I had the keeper straps on when Heidi started to jump around a bit in the middle of the road and knocked one of the boots off. I noticed right away that her step did not sound the same and removed the one boot. I sure do like the shorter Fjord for getting on when not at home. I usually just put her in the road ditch and she is the right height for me to step back into the saddle. I guess I will have to make an adjustment to the back easy boots so they stay on better. She is very comfortable with the studs in now that I have a pad between her hoof sole and the stud heads. Before you would have thought she was walking on egg shells and I did not use the studs after the first time until I figured out how to make them more comfortable for her. It seems that the easy boot company has a good idea about the studs, but they need to make one more improvement. I am still very careful on the icy spots. We saw our first snowmobiles on the trail a couple of weeks ago and I was thankful we were about 25 yards from the trail when they came by. She is not afraid of them, but has never seen anything on "Our trail" before. She had to have a very good look at them to make sure they would not come over and bite us and I have learned not to urge her on any too soon and to just let her figure it all out and talk to her in the meantime. So this is my winter fun and soon I will have 3 different sleigh rallys to attend and help out at. Perhaps next year I will have a sleigh to participate with, but hitching in the bitter cold is not to my liking. Guess this got a bit long, but a Happy New Year to all and now you know what keeps me busy. -- Built Fjord Tough Carol M. On Golden Pond N. Wisconsin
