Re:don't worry
This message is from: Pat Holland [EMAIL PROTECTED] if you all see me in the trail class dropping the rope gate, or having to trot the figure 8, i know that it will be a victory for us regardless. last year i trotted the barrels, perhaps this year we will canter. Laurie, Don't worry about dropping gates, breaking a canter or not retaining the canter. I'll always remember a wonderful stallion shown at an Evaluation at Blue Earth many years ago. When he was going through the rope gate in the utility part of the advanced riding test he grabbed ahold of the rope and wouldn't let it go. Not at all out of meanness - but playfulness. The rider, his owner was literally having a tug-of-war with him. It was one of the most comical opps I've ever seen. We used that footage at a training seminar and none of us could come up with an answer to how to score it. Another time I presented three horses in the intro driving test and none would stand still. That footage was also shown over and over again in the training seminars - nothing like making a mistake - but seeing it over and over again and being shown to all the future evaluators - was certainly humbling. If there is one of you out there that has NEVER made a mistake in the show ring, I would like to meet you. When I was showing QH's in the 70's and we all wore the tight, custom fitted shirts.while at the jog my bra strap broke on one side,.imagine that picture.I'm surprised the horse wasn't thrown off balance and trip. With humor, Pat

RE: Nice woman looking for quiet fjord / Gelding for sale
This message is from: The Mercers [EMAIL PROTECTED] I have a 13 year old NFHR registered brown dun gelding that is 14.3 hands and drafty build. You can see his information and pictures on the NFHR web site. His registered name is Skog 366-B but his barn name is Thor. He has been in Pony Club, ridden English western, dressage and jumped by the gal I purchased him from. Thor has thousands of hours of trail experience in the mountains and desert between me and his previous owners. He has a bold personality, is agile and responsive. Thor enjoys life and thrives on attention. He ia a joy to ride. I had Gayle Ware do some fine tuning with him in 2003. Feel free to contact her about him. [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thor is current on all of his vaccines, worming, farrier and also has a current health certificate and coggins. He loads, clips, ties, cross ties, hobbles, bathes, etc. The only reason I am selling him is because I have decided to keep the 3 year old filly out of my mare Reina. I don't have time to do 3 Fjords justice. Thor's price is $7500 firm. A good home is a must. If you are interested please contact me. Taffy Mercer Kennewick, WA [EMAIL PROTECTED] (509) 586-0150

Re:Neem Oil, was Deer Flies
This message is from: Karen McCarthy [EMAIL PROTECTED] Neem oil is extracted from the seed found inside a smallish yellow fruit (looks like a Kumquat?) of the Neem Tree (Azadirachta indica). It has been used a long, long time in India, and it's interesting that the trees are not cultivated per se, but grow at the edges of villages, and in the wild. There is an annual co-operative gathering of the fruit, and it is washed to remove the husk, then the oil is extracted by either a cold press method, or thru chemical extraction, which I read is not a bad method in itself, but that the resulting oil is often stored in drums that have held nasty chemicals - maybe a good idea to check the source + extraction methods...there is horticultural grade and a higher personal use grade. Pretty intersting stuff. I'm going to see about finding a product with it in it, as we are mosquito central here w/ flood irrigated pastures and the Carson river nearby, which is still very high and impassable, thus curtailing some across the river riding unless we haul over. 102 today. UGH. spent the whole day unpacking and cleaning up, and generally wilting from the heat, after a great weekend away at the Trinity CDE in N Calif. Took my NF (non-fjord) big guy Tomas, and we made it home in one piece ready for more next month... Karen McCarthyGreat Basin Fjords :: Carson City, Nevadahttp://www.picturetrail.com/weegees
