I always thought using the Fjords with the way they are would make a good book - kind of a combination of Thelwell and The Far Side. By the way there is a good article in Horse Illustrated in the July issue, on canter transition troubleshooting. It describes how you have to work canter problems not from the canter , but from the trot. Something I found especially so with some of the Fjords. If your having canter issues you have to go back to the trot and don't force your horse to canter from a fast trot. Anyway...its a well put together article.

Fjord mare for sale, rides & drives, $2500, N. Wisconsin
This message is from: "~*Laura B*~" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reluctantly selling, due to lack of time and heading off to college. Paradise's Britta, 1996 brown dun 14.2hh Norwegian Fjord mare. Easy to catch and handle, very friendly, good ground manners; leads, ties, loads and trailers, good with having her feet handled and being clipped with electric clippers. Has been driven on a cart and been trail ridden. I would consider her greenbroke to ride - she is very willing and quiet but does need her training finished. Does not neck rein yet and is ridden in a snaffle bit. Asking $2,500/firm, will consider payments. Email [EMAIL PROTECTED] for more info. Located in N. Wisconsin FREE!

I remember seeing in one of Beaver Dam Farm's videos about the big Fjord Show in Holland, They had about 500 Fjords (with Handlers) in a group! Also, It showed the folks turning out a bunch of Fjords into a Field before the show..and these Fjords were strangers to each other. Of course it wasn't crowded, but they seemed to get a long.

Use your imagination. ;-) This is actually a class at some miniature donkey shows! Entrants turn all their donkeys loose together (jennies and geldings, only), and the handlers take off their shoes/boots. Sometimes the shoes are piled; I've seen other judges toss them in every direction, making sure no pair landed near each other! People start behind a chalk line. At the whistle, folks run to retrieve their shoes, put them on, then go get their leadrope out of another pile, then go catch their donkey---which one or more of the judge's "helpers" have been busy stirring up, getting them running around the arena. Invariably there is at least one argument, as little brown or grey-dun donkeys can look pretty much alike. First one to catch and lead his/her donkey back across the finish line, wins. It's a real crowd-pleaser--- particularly since some donkeys enjoy playing "neener-neener, you can't catch me"! Although, now that miniature donkeys come in lots more colors than they used to, it has gotten easier to pick yours out of the herd Marsha Jo HannahMurphy must have been a horseman-- [EMAIL PROTECTED] anything that can go wrong, will! 15 mi SW of Roseburg, Oregon

Re: mare for sale
This message is from: bolinsj <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Mary, Thanks so much for your note. I have forwarded the information about Frida to Elisa and hope to meet her on Thursday at Lexington. I'll be in Weedsport this weekend. I sure hope something can be found for Frida. She is a total love and the decision was not easy to decide who would stay and who would go. Since Frida is not being used, she got the short straw but is probably the nicer of the two Fjords. She is a beauty. Oh well, keeping all fingers and toes crossed that we can find homes for the two of them.

She is a rusty intermediate rider - don't know if this situation would work, but is worth a try. She sounds like she is wanting a fjord to be a back-yard horse. She will be attending the Lex-Eval on Thursday - I think you are coming that day also. Her email is [EMAIL PROTECTED] - her first name is Elisa.

Re: camping at blue earth
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Does anyone camp at the Blue Earth show, in their horse trailer living quarters, in an RV, or ??? Can you give us some advice? Chuck and I have stayed in the local hotel in the past, but are considering bringing our tent camper this year to cut costs and give us a place to change clothes and get some quiet time. Are we welcome to do this? If so, are there any "do's and don'ts" about where to put the camper and what we can/can't do? Are there showers we could use in the 4-H building where we have the MWFHC meeting? I'm a little concerned about the noise from RV generators, etc. if we put our modest tent camper near RVs. Is that an issue? So many questions, so little time! DeeAnna
