In the Norwegian evaluation system, 2.pr is second Premium awarded to
mature quality stallions and mares 4 years or older who have proven
themselves capable of producing offspring of acceptable quality.   1.pr. is
only givewn to stallions and mares 10 years or older of quality who have
produced several offspring of good quality.  So 2.pr. is quite good! All of
this information is in 'The Record Book'.

Jean in Fairbanks, Alaska, sunny but cool, some snow showers predicted this
weekend.  45 degrees today, 25 tonight. leaves are falling! :(


Can sombody explain what this classification means 2.pr, 2.premie?  This
is my
mares rating and I was wondering what it really means.  Is it good or
marginal
or what?

Riding with sore knees

I was reading a few digests ago, about one of you having something wrong
with your knees. Well it must be catching. My left knee has an egg sized
lump, (dr. says its a Bakers cyst) on the back side of it. My knee is so
sore I can barely bend it or go down steps. I am to see an orthapedic
surgeon on the 15th of October. If I ride at all this fall, I fear I will
have to mount from the wrong side and not use a stirrip for that leg.
Anyone ever try getting on and riding this way? Wonder what my 3 year old
colt will think? Blasted knee...any of you have any idea what could have
caused this cyst to form?  I did not injure my knee that I know of, yet the
xray show no signs of osteoarthritis. The gp did say that the bones in my
knees had narrowedhe says as a result of getting older(I am 55). Do you
think I could bust the cyst if I ride??? I am really itching to get on again
and did not ask the dr. what he thought of me ridingI think he would say
no...but am open for suggestions and any ino you might have.

We went to the woods again on Thursday,  and the team yarded out 14 lengths
of hardwood. They are awsome.  We drove over in the wagon and I moaned and
groaned with my knee as I was doing the usuallugging the peevee and
holding the boys. *grin*
Well hope you can advise me about my kneeall comments welcome.
