Be paitent and try again later. TIA. Wow!! Those Fjord ornaments are really super!! I know what I'll be giving all my horsey friends for Christmas this year. I'll probably have to give them early so they can put them on their trees. Thanks for making my shopping so easy. Jane Krauss Olaf and Niels
Yes, Gene's Full size Park Drag
This message is from: Betsy Bauer [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hello Group and Friends, Yes, this picture is of my father, Gene Bauer, taken at the Canadian Classic, Orangeville, Ont. around 1995. The Fjords are: wheelers: Ivar Peer, and leaders: Foldelen Solvin. Dad is the Whip and Susan Keating is riding shot gun... The Drag was made in 1870 in England and has a Hand Engraved wheel wrench with the Earl of Lonsdale's name. It is presently FOR SALE ... by my brothers and I. Kayo, whose site you found it on, is a gal who asked if she could mention it to folks who may be interested in that type of vehicle. I am advertising it in this month's Whip magazine, also. It has been in storage with Antique Cars... yes dry and in perfect shape... It's cool to see the Horseless and Horse Drawn Carriage together 30 minutes from Ohare Airport, if you'd like to visit. It is a full size Drag, just because he drove it with Fjords, doesn't make it smaller. There are Accessories Appointments included. The lamps are not original, but they look good to me... He had some of the fittings on the pole cast which, as a steel man, he was able to do what was needed for easier hitching. When he passed away in 1997, there wasn't a serious buyer, so now that my mother has passed away, we are interested in finding it a new Grand master to drive and continue its equine history. So, Tally HO - visit www.webscriber.com/parkdrag.html and see more. Betsy Bauer www.fjordpony.com P.S. I did hear that a lady bought a Drag and painted it like this one but it isn't Dad's Drag so there you have it, and that's the rest of the story
Libby / Auction
This message is from: Catherine lassesen [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thanks for all the reports on Libby. Both Rune and I wish we could have made it but we were kept behind tending to our sick little and big one. Good news, is that Mojave is getting better by the day. Congratulations to all that received ribbons and medals at the Evaluation and in the show. It is very exciting to see that Flotron is on the west coast. Good for the breeders in our neck of the woods. Hello from the both of us to all of you. Catherine Lassesen Southern Oregon PS There is an auction this weekend in Canyonville, OR for old cars and car parts. Most of them need to be hauled out but if you have been looking for old parts of many 1920 to 1970s cars... Chances are they are at this auction. Some beautiful 1950 cars that need TLC. PSS...Just read that there will be FJORDS at the CALIFORNIA Draft Auction in November. I will see if I can get the scoop...and report back later

Inheritance Ignored
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] A friend just sent this to me and I thought it was worth sharing with the list. ** Inheritance Ignored By Robert M. Miller, D.V.M. It's a shame, I said to Walt. Her conformation's filled with fault. Her head is plain. Her neck is ewe. Her back is long. Her tail askew. Her shoulder straight, back at the knees; She toes out in front, you'll notice please. Offset cannons and splints you see. This mare, I fear, will never be A racing prospect, or good for show; Brittle feet with seedy toe. Four years old, already lame In both forelegs; in back the same. Problems to worsen eventually Because she's built inadequately. Her hip is short. Her croup is low. The right fore tendon's begun to bow. She cribs, you know, and lolls her tongue - Too many vices in a mare so young. And when she's worked to desperation, She wheezes with each respiration. Her teeth are bad. She overbites. With other mares she always fights. When she trots she'll weave and bobble. Her hind end has a definite wobble. Now melanoma in horses gray Is very commonplace I'd say. But these masses `neath her tail are bad. In a mare so young it makes me sad. I hate to bear such tragic news: You might as well just pull her shoes. And stop her training as of now. You cannot ride her anyhow. Walt looked at me and then replied, The guy who sold her surely lied. He told me that she was so great, And I so eager, could hardly wait, To load her up and take her home, To pay for her, make her my own. Well, no matter, said Walt aloud, She'll make a broodmare fine and proud. We'll breed her soon and get repaid For the investment that I made. I know a stallion with a fee so low He's laid up for a year or so. He's got navicular disease they say. But his stud fee I guess I'll pay; And raise a foal so this young mare Will pay her way and earn her fare. Don't you agree, Doc, with my plan? I answered him ... I told the man: Like begets like. You've heard that said? This foal you're planning, in your head, Is good for business-mine, I mean. Foals like this, I have seen, Are useful to support a vet. Because of many defects, yet Our voice is often heard alone Warning breeders, `Do not condone The breeding of inferior sire To inferior mare if you desire To produce foals to improve the breed. Breed best to best, that's all you need. Now listen you breeders of puppy dogs And cats and sheep and cows and hogs, For your own species just change the name. The principles are still the same. Like begets like. It's in the genes, Controlled by DNA it seems. Breed best to best, it's your only chance For offspring that will the breed enhance Amy Evers Dun Lookin' Fjords Redmond, OR Fjord [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Libby 2004 Evaluation and Show
This message is from: Ursula Brian Jensen [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dear List from Brian Jensen; Hope everyone has now arrived home safe and sound. I especially want to thank Sherrie Dayton for her work on holding an Evaluation this year at Libby. As well Kudos to her crew and helpers. Neil Sorum ---NFHR President and Ruth Sorum travelled to Libby and were right in there lending a hand as well--Thankyou. Phillip Odden---Co-Chairperson of the NFHR Evaluation Comm.-- and Else Bigton also lent their assistance to making the two days run smoothly. I believe from feedback of entrants the Evaluation was a huge success and learning curve for NFHR members. The Libby Show ran by Shirley Anderson and her Show Comm. was the best Ursula and I had ever taken part in. In the past 18 years we have attended some 60 Open Breed, and Breed Shows. Lbby is right up there with the best of them. Of course there is always little glitches here and there at any Show. In the Show Program there was a balance of fun classes---Novice Classes---Riding/Driving Draft Performance classes. The classes moved right along, and the Judge worked efficiently and consistently. The Libby Show Ground changes and improvements are great, and if a new covered Grandstand happens as proposed it will continue to be a wonderful venue for many years to come. From my prospective there has been a tremendous improvement in quality of Show--quality of Performance--and quality of Fjords presented. Thankyou to all the entrants who are interested in raising the standard of how we show our Fjords. As it has already been announced I do not believe I am speaking out of turn to say that Flotren has been sold to Don Torgenrud of St Ignatius --Montana. Congratulations and thanks Don and Heather for brining this wonderful stallion to a home in the West.
