Exceptional Stallion for Sale
This message is from: ruth bushnell [EMAIL PROTECTED] We are offering our stallion, Bushwhacker's Dutchman, for sale. He is a 5-yr old boy from a very unique mating of two west coast outstanding bloodlines; the dam is Woodland's Dustin's first daughter, Quad-L's Teal, and his sire is Rusten (dec). These particular lines together make this stallion a combination of two of the best in the west (Rusten+Dustin). Neither has he been used for breeding but only ONCE here, as he is related to all of our mares but one (soon to foal.) This unique stallion is tractability personified. See his photo on page 58 of Horse Illustrated, 7/30 as he is ridden BESIDE another stallion in the Libby Nordicfest Parade (he is horse on the right). He took first place halter class that same year. We have gentle raised him from infancy and he's been imprinted, early schooled, and is now trained to ride and drive, singly or double. He is a stallion that can be trusted and utilized. Although we love him very much his uniquely combined bloodline makes him simply too good to keep. We feel that he has much to offer to the gene pool. He also needs to be used in performance more than we are in a position to do. If you are interested, we can send a good photo of him, along with any additional particulars. Write to [EMAIL PROTECTED] or phone 406-295-5050 Ruthie, nw mt Bushwhacker Fjords Gene and Ruthie Bushnell http://www.libby.org/~bushnell Troy, Montana
Re: Outdoor wood furnaces
This message is from: Jean Ernest [EMAIL PROTECTED] Quite true, Deanna, especially for Fairbanks. Fairbanks sits in a Bowl, with hills surrounding it on three sides and has been in violation of the EPA standards many times in the past, but has avoided violations this year so far. The Borough has been obligated run a vehicle IM program and in the times of severe temperature inversions will ask that folks avoid driving their cars down town, the Borough bus system, offers free rides during the winter months, etc. I live outside of town about 15 miles and somewhat in the hills and will avoid going into town those days that the CO levels are approaching the higher levels. Surprizingly, the extremely cold days are not the bad ones, altho the ice fog gets dangerously thick so you can't see anything downtown. It is the temps between -20 and +20 that seem to cause problems when there is a temp inversion. There is a great debate about wheter cold starts cause more CO emissions thant letting cars idle, but the slogan is When it's below 20 above, Plug it in!...We plug in the block heaters on our cars to be able to start them in the cold! I still think NOT letting your car idle for 30 minute while your'e in the Grocery store would help! Jean in Fairbanks, ALaska, cloudy and temps rising today, -10F Most of Alaska may be unpopulated, but that doesn't mean there aren't urban population centers in Alaska with at least occasional pollution problems.

Re: Outdoor wood furnaces
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] This message is from: jgayle [EMAIL PROTECTED] Jean, I see Alaska as still a remote unpopulated place. To put urban (over-populated) laws re pollution on you folks seems ridiculous. Most of Alaska may be unpopulated, but that doesn't mean there aren't urban population centers in Alaska with at least occasional pollution problems. As Jean mentioned, an unusual weather condition called a temperature inversion will trap a pocket of air near the ground for hours or even days. No fresh air can enter the inversion and no old air can leave. If the inversion lasts long enough, cars, factories, woodstoves, or any other air pollution source inside the trapped air pocket will raise ozone, carbon monoxide, soot and other pollutant levels high enough to cause severe respiratory problems and even death in some people and animals (including Fjords!)

winter fun
This message is from: Carol J. Makosky [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi Linda, I'm off to a sleigh party/potluck today with the North Woods Driving club. That's what winter is for, and wish many people could have been at the Ashland rally on the 10th. We had the best time ever and about 1000 spectators. -- Built Fjord Tough Carol M. On Golden Pond N.

Re outdoor furnaces
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Carol, We have looked into the outdoor furnace idea..the units are quite expensive - $1000's - but, if one has a ready supply of wood it would be a good way to heat. My friend in Mpls has an indoor arena totally insulated. They rarely put the heat on...they use gas powered hanging heaters..it stays warm enough but no so warm that the horses get all sweaty in 10 minutes. That is the problem with a heated arena.if horses have a winter coat.sweat city!!! Linda in VERY cold NW MN-40 Friday. Detest this weather!!
