Where is my ballot??

2005-10-13 Thread Frederick J. Pack
This message is from: "Frederick J. Pack" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

According to Page 7 of the Fjord Herald, ballots were supposed to be mailed
out on October 1st.

Perhaps they are coming from the East coast via a Chinese Tramp steamer just
now entering the Panama Canal??

We haven't got ours yet.  Has anyone??

Also, when certain things were removed from the By-Laws, they were supposed
to be moved to the Operations Manual.  Where is the Operations Manual and
how can a member find out what is inside.

Ballots need to be verified by more than one person.  Not that I doubt the
integrity, or honest of anyone, but perhaps we need to bring up the old
saying: "Trust, but verify."

I thought that a three person group was supposed to be formed for this
election.  So far, I have heard nothing about it.

What gives with the BOD.  Are we too dumb, not be informed of what is going
on??

Hello List,
 Just wanted to clarify...
 In an earlier post it was stated that GVF Odin is the ONLY ungelded son of
Fernando. PCF Vidar owned by Neil and Ruth Sorum is also an ungelded son of
Kastanjegardens Fernando and he will be three years old in 2006.

I am sure Cindy Vallecillo will respond to ya'll about this email on this
on this list as well, however, from what Cindy has told me, this woman is
a psycho-case (is there something called a 'horse-stalker'??) Cindy had
to terminate all normal + reasonable communication w/ her as the woman
never let up w/ her phone calls + emails to her, even going to the
extreme of getting on other email lists and accusing Cindy of all sorts
of crap...and yes, Mik is just fine thanks, he is over here doing some
driving training w/ me, and hanging out w/ other fjordies on my ranch -
and loving every second! He is a big, kind + wonderful gelding, and truly
the horsey love of Cindy's life.

If anyone wants to respond to this person - be forwarned, you may get
more than you bargined for in doing so.

  Hi,

  Here's one Fjord inquiry that I found on the stolen horse list. Go
  there for
  more info. There may be other Fjords listed but I didn't search the
  whole
  database:
  Vanessa

  Horses name: Mikael
  Tattoo # 261-B
  Breed: Norwegian Fjord Horse
  Sex: gelding
  Date of birth: 8/12/1987
  Microchip # 42557E5B76

  Last known registered owner:
  Mikael was my horse companion from 1990 to 1996 in the Arlington, WA
  area.
  My husband and I donated him to EquiFriends Therapeutic Riding
  Program
  located in Snohomish, WA. They only kept him for about 6 months.
  There was
  no information on where he went.
  Later, I found information on the last registered owner at the
  NFHR.com
  website. Her name is: Cynthia Vallecillo of San Bruno, CA. Two email
  inquiries to her have gone unheeded. The email address was to a
  business. My
  guess is she no longer works there. Calling the listed phone number
  was
  useless.
  I really would like to know how Mikael is doing. And how he wound up
  in San
  Bruno, California and where he might be now. Or if he is still
  living. I'm
  hoping someone from that area will see this request and help me find
  out how
  Mikael is doing and where he might be located now.

buying trailor and truck

2005-10-13 Thread CHERYL GARNICA
This message is from: CHERYL GARNICA <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

RE: trailers:   
 Looked into the specifics this 
summer, haven't bought yet either.  Asked around and googled it, also good 
article on what to look for in Horse Illustrated couple of months ago.
 
If you haven't bought a truck yet, then calculate the total wt. you will tow.  
Should include trailer wt. plus horse wt. maximum, plus tack/feed/anything else 
you will put in the trailer to tow.  Then look for truck that can actually pull 
that wt. loaded.  Manufacturers book that comes with truck has the figures and 
how to calculate what you can safely tow.  May want to add 300#  at least for 
margin of error to your loaded wt. just to be safe (or so I was told!).  
Besides unsafe overloading trailer wt. wise, the stability of it and engine or 
transmission burn out rate high if overloaded for what truck can pull.  
 
If you have the truck alreadystill figure out the max wt it can tow, still 
add up your figures. 
 
I have an F 150 and figured (maybe erroneously!) that with tack, two horses 
2300#  approx. etc, I'd be looking into an aluminum or lighter trailer.  
Someone told me that some of the F 250 engines are the same as the 150sso 
you gotta go back to the gear ration/wt ratio stuff.  
 
Think I googled an article on it...if I come across it I'll post the site.  
Hope it helps...most guys that tow get into these numbers and can be good 
source of advice...I don't always believe the sales people...

Hi Vanessa (and Karen),

check out "photo of the week" on Bay Area equestrian network -

I know Cindy (and Mik) but haven't seen her for a long time (I moved  
from California two years ago). Mik is having a great time, going on  
lots of trails and is loved to death by Cindy. I don't have updated  
contact info for her, maybe Brigid does?

Driving vacation and Fjord Calendar

Hi Fjord Friends,

I just returned from a week driving my Fjord at Wildwood Stables in Arcadia
National Park, Maine.  What a great place to drive.  The trails are
beautiful and pristine.  The carriage roads were built by John D.
Rockefeller in1915  and cover over 11,000 acres of land. 

 When we were not on the trails, you could find us out getting a Maine
lobster dinner, too good.  For more information on Wildwood Stables

Have you ordered your 2006 Fjord Calendar yet?

This is the FIRST ever all Fjord calendar featuring Fjords from United
States and Canada.  

Happy Driving,

You sound like  a very careful and considerate driver, also knowlegable.  It 
seems that you are going above and beyond in your training methods and being 
very through.  
I might think that your heart and mind are a bit worried tho.  While I think a 
driver should always have cautions in mind, take every care, watch ahead, be 
psychic you should also have fun.  If you have a positive, definite 
attitude when you are driving, it will translate to your horses.  I hope that 
mine sure don't know that I only weigh 10% of their weight (sans carriage) and 
they think I am 10 feet tall and in control.  Make sure your confidence shines 
thru as I am POSITIVE that our mindset is felt by the horse(s) riding and 
driving.  (ALL - remember the previous threads on visualizing while riding?  It 
works while driving too).
