This message is from: "Gail Russell" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sorry for the repost. I forgot the most important item. We would love to see other Fjord lovers, maybe have dinner, hang out at the agility dog trials, help clean stalls, whatever. AT the show, our home phone will probably be forwarded to my cell phone, so we are reachable. Reservation at the Marriot is under Gail Russell. We will be going to the stock show. Not sure whether we will get tickets to the dancing horses both nights or not. We are staying at the Marriot City Center hotel.

Re: Jule mat
This message is from: "Linda Bain" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Here's a link to an old traditional Shetland recipe for "Reestit Mutton". Its really good and a must have in any Shetland home at New Year! It is usually eaten as "tattie soup" with "Bannocks" cut in half with butter and the meat inside. The mutton is usually cured over a peat fire, but this is not so common nowadays. It will keep for ages once its dried. http://www.shetland-heritage.co.uk/brochures/themed_brochures/food_&_drink/local_recipes.htm Linda Scotland

MWFHC Winter Meeting
This message is from: "Green Valley Farm" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Midwest Fjord Horse Club Annual Winter Meeting & Clinic February 18 & 19, 2006 The Riverport Inn & Suites and the Minnesota Equestrian Center Winona, Minnesota Room reservations can be made NOW! Phone: 1-800-595-0606 We have 75 rooms guaranteed and reservations must be made by January 18, 2006.Be sure to mention the MWFHC when making your reservation. Rooms with king, queen or single beds are all priced at $74.99 plus tax regardless of the number of persons per room. This year’s program will again be held at the indoor heated Minnesota Equestrian Center. Our clinician will be Karen Maas. Karen has a 30 year history as an equine professional, working as a judge, instructor, trainer, clinician, author, and equine body worker. Together with her husband, Al, they breed and raise Norwegian Fjord Horses at their home in Northern MI. She trains from the facilities of Bayview Morgans in Cedar, MI as well as several private stables. Karen has judged internationally, World Shows, many State Fairs and numerous NFHR shows in North America, including South Woodstock, VT, Blue Earth, MN, Turlock, CA, Finger Lakes, NY and Toronto, Ontario. Her involvement with Fjord Horses began in 1990, when she traveled to Norway as an NFHR judge candidate. In the intervening years, she has been active in the formation of Fjordhest International as a translation consultant proofing translations for early documentation, as a Western Horsemanship clinician and dressage instructor at the Norskfjordhestsenter, and as a coach for successful competitors at the Norges Meisteskap, the Norwegian Three-Phase Event for Fjord Horses. Karen’s goals as an NFHR Evaluator are to work with the NFHR to build a strong Evaluation program in the U.S. and working to ensure that the Norwegian Fjord Horse in America remains true to its Norwegian roots. We are looking forward to this learning/schooling event with Karen! Everyone is invited to bring their horse and participate in classes which will include: Showmanship, E & W 50/50 Pleasure/Equitation, Youth E&W, Driving 50/50 Pleasure/Reinsmanship, E/W walk/trot, Trail, Ground Driving Course, Obstacle class, cones class and Team/Multiple Hitch. This will be a hands-on learning experience. Our Judge will explain why she placed the horses and how the handlers could make improvements. No ribbons will be awarded. The emphasis will be on learning to understand what the judge may be looking for in each class. We hope to offer people who are unable to bring a horse the opportunity to handle horses with help of an experienced fjord owner. Those who bring horses may check in at the Minnesota Equestrian Center after 5:00 p.m. on February 17, 2006. No additional charge for participating, except for stall rent which is $55.00 per horse/tack stall for the entire show, plus, 2 bags of shavings at $6.00 each. Please let us know if you plan to bring a horse so we can send you a more detailed packet. Classes offered will depend on how much interest there is.

Jule mat
This message is from: "Janne" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Merry Christmas from the Myrdal Farms to all fjordies out there. Hope all will have a blessed season with a new year of hope, health and grace. I have a question. To relate it to fjords, we do eat lots of the below mentioned meat in Norway, the land of fjords. If anyone has a good recipie for lamb, would you send it to me via private email. I am looking for new ways, and have actually lost my favorite rec. for Christmas. Nobody at home with email (Norway) seems to have any. Weird. Sorry to those who do not eat lamb., I am a Viking after all. haha. Janne Myrdal and family.
poem
This message is from: "LYNN BINKOWSKI" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> This is a bit melancholy at this time of year, but I saw this horse poem posted on another list and thought it was quite touching. I will be keeping it stashed away somewhere with the "Rainbow Bridge". No author was identified. Where to Bury a Horse If you bury him in this spot, the secret of which you must already have, he will come to you when you call; come to you over the far, dim pastures of death. And though you ride other living horses through life, they shall not shy at him, nor resent his coming, For he is yours, and he belongs there. People may scoff at you, who see no lightest blade of grass bent by his footfall, who hear no nicker pitched too fine for insensitive ears. People who may never really love a horse. Smile at them then, for you shall know something that is hidden from them and which is well worth knowing . . . The one place to bury a horse is in the heart of his master. _ Dont just search. Find.
