Re: Driving harness
This message is from: "Lisa Wiley" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Carole, I use a light weight beta harness with collar and hames. It does not look like the typical draft harness. I drive a meadowbrook cart. My pony does very well in this type of harness. I find that they pull better especially up hills.

RE: Driving harness
This message is from: "Carole Cox" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I think that the choice of harness largely depends on what you are pulling. Without collar and hames, you have a "pleasure harness" more suitable to a cart or carriage. If you are pulling heavier apparatus such as a wagon or farm appliances, a hames and collar type would be the correct choice. The hames and collar are more universal. I have seen Haflingers shown on cart with a show type collar and hames. If you are to show, check the restrictions of that group. I love to look at old pictures of horses in everyday use. As a firefighter, I was particularly interested in the ones pulling fire apparatus. I was surprised at how light the harness was! Perhaps for speed... I'm looking forward to what the more experienced folks on the list have to say about all this!

Re: Guusje
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] My favorite part of the site - was how they met, and all she went through, when Guusje came to her. No saddle for awhile - so she road bareback and made a rope halter/reins. I can relate! TinyTim was my love, several years ago - took every penny I could scrape together to get him. Nothing left over for even an old used saddle. So for months, I rode him on the trails bareback. The story of how Guusje and the lady worked their way up - to quit the riding level / showing they are doing now - is very impressive! Hooozah for her courage, and her faith in Guusje! Happy trails!

Re: News from McWethys
This message is from: "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> You NorthWest folks are in for a real treat, although, I must say, I'm very sorry to loose Pam and Dave from New England. The McWethys have been involved with Fjords since, well, a pretty long time. They have some great stories to share. Ask Dave about his drive across country, or training and competing Modellen for 100 mile endurence driving. Pam has great stories about the early days of the registry and the 40 Fjord air lift from Norway. You couldn't have two nicer people coming to your community.

We are now looking for a third fjord for our 4-year-old daughter. My 7-year-old rides Tindra that we got on your site. Tindra is the BEST children's fjord ever.

Re: A Norwegian traditional story...
This message is from: "Ruth Bushnell" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> This message is from: "Ruth Bushnell" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> A Norwegian story about talking animals: SORRY... see that link didn't work... here's the story: In the frosty mountains and on the snowy fields of Norway, there is a legend that draws children to all kinds to stables and stalls throughout the country on each Christmas Eve night. They are hoping to hear a miracle. They are waiting to hear the animals talk. Over 2,000 years ago, Jesus was born in a stable in Bethlehem. This was no abandoned place, but was a working stable, filled with animals of all kinds. Into these humble surroundings, encircled by the innocent creatures of God, the Savior of man came into the world. Now according to legend, at least, Christ's birth occurred at exactly midnight. Inside the stable, the animals watched in wonder as the new-born babe was lovingly wrapped in swaddling clothes and placed in a manger. Suddenly, God gave voice to the animals and immediately they began to praise God for the miracle they had just seen. This went on for several minutes and, just before the entrance of the shepherds -- who had hurried to the stable because angels had told them the Christ had been born there -- the animals again fell silent. The only humans who had heard them were Mary, Joseph and, of course, the Christ child. The legend of the talking animals persists to this day in Scandinavia. And every Christmas Eve, wide-eyed children creep into stables just before midnight to hear the animals praise God for the wondrous birth of His Son. Of course, adults scoff at this. "Old wives tales," they grump. "Those children should be home in bed, not out in the cold waiting for the family cow to preach a sermon." But the children know -- or at least believe -- that animals really do praise God at midnight every Christmas Eve. And who of us -- those who believe in an all-powerful God -- can say that it really doesn't happen? Jesus looked at them and said, "With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible." (Matthew 19:26 NIV)
Breeders Dream
This message is from: "Green Valley Farm" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Just received this message from a wonderful new Fjord owner. She recently bought GVF Jordbaer from Green Valley Farm. This is what makes breeding and training all worth while. Hello! I just had to email you after this weekend. I had a fantastic trail ride on Saturday afternoon with Jordbaer (Ture stayed at home). I went with four other folks who trail ride around here a lot and who wanted to show me all the local great trails I can get to from my house without a trailer. We were gone for hours, though beautiful woods, fields, crossing rivers (!!!), up and down steep inclines, hopping over logs, cantering all over the place. We saw foxes and deer and birds. Nothing really phased her. They were all on their big brown horses and were SO impressed with her. They could not believe how brave and well-mannered and adorable she was and that she was only three! She was so great, did everything I asked, took good care of me and looked like she was having a great time herself! We cantered a lot, more than I had ever before with her and it felt great! I am so thrilled with her--she is the best! She got lots of hugs and a good rubdown afterward. Just wanted to let you know what a fantastic time we are having! Thanks to you and Mac again for making her what she is to me -- a lovely companion, partner and friend. Elisa Happy Holidays to all from Green Valley Farm Sophie & Howard Fiedler

T'was the Barn, Before Christmas!
This message is from: "Ruth Bushnell" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> T'was the Night Before Christmas The Barn was a-bu with whinnies and nickers 'cause that's what horse does! The Legend was echoed through all of the walls excitement was mounting in all of the stalls ! The weanlings, in wonder had heard of the tale as they all gathered round to munch on a bale ! The fillies, the geldings, the stallions and mares then told of the Legend amidst wide eyed stares. When all of a sudden they heard on the roof the flutter of wings the landing of hoof ! His wings how they glistened his whinny so proud as he entered the barn astounding the crowd... Who stood there awaiting the Pegasus dear the truth of the Legend was blatantly clear ! The rider descended from Pegasus' back his hat and his boots were glistening black His spurs how they jingled with a wonderful song that would echo in memories for all the year long ! He gave out the gifts of carrots and treats then sprang to his saddle for a hasty retreat... For the hour was late and he just had to leave but now, all the weanlings would finally believe ! And as Pegasus flew then away in the night the horses enchanted by the wondrous sight.. Had hearts filled with joy and the barn filled with love and mares will tell foals of Pegasus from above ! --author unknown Gene and Ruthie Bushnell, of Bushwhacker Fjords MT, Wishing all Fjordees and their owners a very Merry Christmas...!! www.libby.org/~bushnell
