RE: NFHA at Equine Affaire & Annual Meeting (a little long)
This message is from: kay a konove <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The Equine Affaire in Springfield, MA, November 11-14, was a GREAT success for the Northeast Fjord Horse Association. Pictures of the booth and breed demo will be posted on the web page soon. Hundreds of horse enthusiasts stopped by our booth for information about the breed and to admire the horse in the stall: Elexson, Lilla or Flikka. The mane was the "main" attraction, with most people asking "if they all come that way." The second & third most popular questions were "how big do they get" and "what is their temperament." New Fjord horse owners soon?! Not only did we have a breed demo, but three club members also drove in a holiday scene at the Pfizer Fantasia. Carol Tacey, Tony DiMuccio and Karol Cota participated with Carol's Flikka and Karol's team of Sven and Hannah. As you know, an event like this takes so much planning and preparation. Kudos and thanks to all the drivers, riders and volunteers: Beth & Carl Gerst, Bev Weston, Caitlyn Few, Hilary Harty, Valerie Pederson, Annette Loveless, Barb Jones, Bill Warner, Dave McWethy, AnnMarie & Austin Fisher, Tony DiMuccio, and Carol Tacey.

Rescue Possibilities for Small Dog OT (Pics available)
This message is from: "Gail Russell" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> My daughter, Zana, in Georgia has rescued a sweet little dog from her brother and sister in-law, but now needs to find him a new home. He looks to be a cross between a very small brown and white husky (30-35 lbs) and a chow. The chow part shows up in that he is a soft apricot color in the places where a husky would be white. He has a soft cuddly coat and loves to snuggle up to anyone who will let him. My daughter rescued him because he is not good with small children, and her brother-in-law is a minister who has families coming into his home all the time. Zana worked with him, gave him access to outdoor play space, and has improved his tendency to nip when he is cornered and scared. However, she no sooner took on the dog than she became pregnant. Sonow she is looking for a home for him as he is never likely to be truly safe around small children. Zana is willing to ship him to wherever he might have a chance at a good home, including the West Coast. (She is flying to San Francisco next Wednesday and could bring him with her.) He doesn't stand a chance in Georgia as the rescue operations there are not well organized and are overwhelmed. This is a REALLY CUTE sweet dog. He is adorable to look at. Zana thinks he would be fine around horses. She thinks he would have to be introduced properly to feathered creatures, but he has shown no signs of being aggressive to cats, dogs or small animals. He seems fine with strangers/mailmen, that kind of thing. My husband, Jim, who is not all that fond of dogs, was quite taken by him. I think Jim liked him because he absolutely loves to sit at your feet and have his ears petted and tummy petted and rubbed, and then will settle down on the floor next to your slippers. (We would take him if we wanted to have a dog and had a fenced area to keep him off the main highway our house is on.) As to his tendency to nip when cornered, it has improved since my daughter has had him, but I am not sure he will ever be completely cured. With an understanding adult household he should be fine. I have a pdf flyer with pictures available to send. Will also post the pics on our website as soon as I get them from my daughter and get Jim to put them up. All suggestions welcomed.
Bud Evers
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] How sad to hear of the passing of Bud Evers. It seems like yesterday when we got to visit around the evening fire at the Libby, MT. show with Bud and Amy. Our condolances to the Evers family, and I know that somewhere is a good workhorse team with a new hand on the lines, and long straight rows..
