Danish Hair-Do's + The Big W
This message is from: "Karen McCarthy" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hmmm,I got to thinking Pat about you comments on the cool Danish haircuts in Sandy's photosperhaps we could have a haircut contest on the last day of the 25th Anniversary Show @ Winona? On the last day, the cuts could get pretty creative (and wild)! Anyone game?? On another 'Big W' note, I might have a space on board my trailer for (1) horse. I am taking our BIG gooseneck trailer in order to have enough room for both single + pair vehicles and all the accoutremonts...I would have 1 biggish slant load stall available.I am hauling 2 mares so a stallion would probably not be a good trailer buddy for the girls I am planning on allowing 4 days of drive time, and will stop every nite. (Gail Russell is my co-pilot) I have all but 1 overnite accomodation lined up so far along I-80 (Dave and i hauled to MI last Dec. and pretty much took the same route and stayed at places i found on horsemotels.com, which proved to be a good resource. Anyway, if you are entertaining the thought of bringing a horse to the show, and you need to hitch a ride, let me know. Nite all.

This message is from: "oe Wilson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> We loved the pictures. Our daughter-in-law got the scissors out and we adopted the trim where the white is very short and the black is longer. OE says that the only difference between a good and bad haircut is two weeks. Actually, they look pretty good. Thanks for the pictures, we really enjoyed them. Pat Wilson
Re: white dun filly-
This message is from: Jean Ernest <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Is this STONE FOX FARM'S ABBY? And is she a very pale (white) grey? I have thought that A grey and White dun might produce a very pale grey, which could be mistaken for a white dun. I wonder how many "White duns" are really very pale greys? Jean in rainy (again) Fairbanks, Alaska, 64 degrees Our grey dun mare Abby has had a white dun filly. She was born two weeks ago. She seems to be very long legged and refined. She has a very elegant dished face. For those of you wondering about the grey dun carrying the white (Dan?) It seems to be the case here. Abby's dam was a white her sire a grey. Abby is a grey- (although registered as a white-)

Re: transport reference

Carol arranged for her shipper to take them to Maryland where they overnighted for a day or two then a shipper recommended by a friend who has shipped her upper level dressage horse a number of times picked them up there and brought them to Florida. I forget the name of the company but the people are Jeff and Lisa Nolte and the number I have for them is 215-529-7988. Lisa kept in close contact with me and the horses arrived safe and sound. I had no complaints about them.

This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi All, I just took a quick look at the photos Sandy took in Denmark. Wow, like a trip thru the candy shop or an art gallery. Well, just WOW. Log in you Fjord lovers. Looking forward to Sandy and Beth's report in the next Fjord Herald. Also just spent some time with Kathi Thompson who has some new training credentials. She will be submitting an article to Fjord Herald. She is representing Fjords in the training world in a big way. Fjords, don't we all love them. Sylvia Riddle, Teddy Bear Fjords, Spokane

Re: only you can prevent hay fires
This message is from: "Brenda" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Could you please tell me what site this chat is at. I am obviously on the list but don't know the website for it. Thanks ---Original Message--- From: Mike May Date: 8/15/2006 12:43:04 AM To: fjordhorse@angus.mystery.com Subject: only you can prevent hay fires This message is from: Mike May <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: only you can prevent hay fires Hay fires are a danger anytime small bales are stacked at 20% moisture or higher, or big bales at more than 16% moisture, warn Cornell University safety experts. They say the quickest way to detect hot hay is to drive a long pipe or rod into the center of the stack. Leave it in for 20 minutes and pull it out. If it's too hot to hold in your hand, the hot hay should be removed immediately. If you think you have a problem, monitor the stack temperature with a homemade probe. Take a 10' piece of ¾"-diameter steel pipe and drill eight holes about 3" from one end. Hammer that end together to form a sharp edge, drive the pipe into the stack and lower a thermometer to the end. Retrieve it after 10-15 minutes. Check the temperature daily if it's above 120 degrees; twice a day if it's 140-150 degrees, say the experts. At 150 degrees, the hay is entering the danger zone; check the temperature every two hours. If its between 150 and 160 degrees, start moving hay out of the stack. At 160 degrees or higher, call the fire department. Have firemen on site before moving any hay. [demime 1.01d removed an attachment of type image/gif which had a name of imstp_chubbi_en.gif]
