FW: Future considerations for all of us
This message is from: "Ursula & Brian Jensen" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Dear List- From Brian Jensen; I pass on this mail of mine for all of you; for future consideration in your respective areas. There is a strong possibility that the PNWFG will be supporting two show venues in the future. I say this thinking of the other group areas like the Mid-West and the Eastern group who may have similar considerations and choices in the future. See you in Winona. Please come over and introduce yourselves to Ursula and myself.--- Brian Jensen Ursula and Brian Jensen Box 1032 Lumby, B.C.

As a founding member of the PNWFG I recall the mandate of promoting the Fjord Horse and its versatility to the American and Canadian public .The fjord horse has done well in our Western American Culture demonstrating its tractability and versatility time and time again. In my mind it is a International treasure which requires our stewardship and advocacy to maintain the integrity of the breed. Ursula and I have sought to honor the breed and its mother country: Norway by learning to Judge, Evaluate, and give clinics to those who were interested. We; Ursula and I, have taken some pretty severe comments from Ron Dayton and Fred Pack for our values, beliefs and standards regarding the Fjord Horse. These comments now read at National and International levels only lower the respect America has Internationally in the World Fjord community . We will always look above and beyond these comments thinking what is best for the Fjord in North America. Those kind of similar comments in the past have motivated us to be part of the design of the NFHR Evaluation Program--the publication of the first Record book---becoming a NFHR Evaluator-Newsletter Publisher; and now the first American member of the BOD for FHI. Those types of comments unfortunately, are nothing new in our journey with the Fjord. If only people could behave as honorably and honestly as the Fjord Horse!! In looking at the next learning curve for our growth I want the group to consider accepting the motion of a Moses Lake show venue allowing those members to move forward in their direction. I also want the group to honor the membership which wishes to remain in Libby and support Nordic fest. That would make two smaller groups supporting two venues in the Pacific Northwest. The groups would be doing their own work for their own show and respectfully leaving the other group to do their work. I do not want further polarization or pollster-taking which would further splinter the group. There appears to be a strong beginning of we/they: all or nothing thinking; which can do more damage than good to everyone. Either group forcing their intent on the other will ultimately loose. No one wins. Let us start two venues in agreement, and let time decide. The venues would be small but supporting a natural not mandated politically forced response. Each member instead of voting at a meeting could support their venue of choice by attending and volunteering for the show. This may be a future template for other groups in North America.--- Brian Jensen Ursula and Brian Jensen Box 1032 Lumby, B.C. Canada V0E 2G0 [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.trinityfjords.com _ From: [EMA

Re: Folks at Beaver Dam Farm getting ready for Winona.
This message is from: "Beaver Dam Farm" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hi Everybody from Carol Rivoire at Beaver Dam Farm in Nova Scotia -- Jaimie and I are coming to Winona. We'll be doing a presentation of Gjest's offspring in the Stallion Presentation program, and right now I'm frantically writing the commentary on Gjest and the wonderful horses that will be representing him.. -- Starfire Farm will be there with BDF Obelisk (Gjest x Stine - Ene daughter) , BDF John Arthur (Gjest x Holly - Solar daughter ) , and BDF Magnum (Gjest x Holly - Solar daughter) . Sheila Tweedie will be there showing BDF Nora (Gjest x Maryke - Hjerter-Knaeght daughter ) . Kathy Johnson will be showing her stallion, WW Reidar (Gjest x Ranka - Sebastian daughter ) . --- Kathy Spiegel will be showing her stallion, BDF Titian (Gjest x Maryke - Hjerter-Knaeght daughter ). --- Curt Pierce will show Ironwood Blitzen (Gjest x SS Saska - Holunder daughter) for Ironwood Farm. -- I have a feeling I've forgotten somebody, and if so, I apologise. All of us at Beaver Dam Farm are tremendously grateful to all these owners for their efforts to represent our grand old stallion. This week our trainer, Jaimie Benoit and I will work to be sure we have photos and DVDs on all our sale horses. Even after an excellent sale season this summer, we still have a few very nice horses to offer. -- These include the following . . . . A yearling stud colt sired by Gjest who just might turn out to be a big-time winner. His name is FRF BARNIKEL, and this horse certainly has the breeding to be a great stallion. -- He's sired by GJEST out of the imported Dutch mare, Ruth, who was sired by MYRSTEIN, an ELITE stallion in Holland. . -- As you'll see for yourself during the Gjest's Presentation, Gjest produces athletes. Gorgeous horses with superb movement and an incredible work ethic. -- I w as told that back in 1985 while watching Gjest at the biggest Fjord show in Holland. One of Gjest's stallion handlers said to me . . . "Gjest has great movement and great athletic ability. He also has a tremendous work ethic. He passes these things on to his sons and daughters." -- Myrstein was a stalliion very much like Gjest. -- He was built in the same mode. Bob van Bon often said . . . "We just can't find stalliions like Gjest and Myrstein anymore." -- What he meant was stallions with strength and bone. Stallions that could work all day and do it again the next day and the next. -- Stallions with great heart to do the job. -- Stallions that stayed healthy and strong and fertile into old ge. -- Those stallions are few and far between nowadays. FRF BARNIKEL carries these rare genes. He is for sale as a breeding stallion. -- This is a rare opportunity for one of you to acquire the possibility of owning a stallion who combines the best of bloodlines on both sides of the pedigree. -- It's a particularly rare opportunity because the price isn't overwhelming. The owner, Sheila Tweedie from New Jersey is an absolutely knowledgeable and dedicated horsewoman. She is more interested that FRF Barnikel (Barni) go to the right home than she is in any money she might make from the sale. -- Of course, such a well-bred stud colt is not going to be given away, but I'm trying to tell everybody that for this owner, price is not the priority. A stud colt with such a pedigree needs time to grow up. -- The strength represented in this special pedigree is not to be taken lightly. -- The combination of genes (Gjest and Myrstein) could produce a truly spectacular stallion. -- Beaver Dam Farm and Barni's owners are looking for the right situation for him. This would be a farm or individual that has the experience and seriousness of purpose to bring on a young stallion, allowing him to mature, and to eventually prove himself. -- So, if you are that type of person , please come to our stall and talk to Jaimie and Carol. Come and look at the DVD we'll have available on Barni and other sale horses. ~~ Other horses we currently have available are -- VALENA, a lovely Flotren daughter. 6 years old. Absolutely as bombproof and reliable as any horse can be. -- She rides nicely now and is 100% safe for the most timid beginner rider. -- Valena has the kind of attitude and temperament that will make her a wonderful driving horse. Valena is a proven broodmare. PEVENSIE - a Caspain daughter. Caspain is a son of the elite stallion, Myrstein. Pevensie is 6 years old and a proven broodmare.-- This is the easiest horse to ride in the world. She's absolutely dependable on the trail in a halter with leadropes. She's wonderful bareback. -- You can't get braver or more laidback than Pevensie. BRENNING -- 10 yr. old gelding sired by Marnix (Advanced CDE horse) and out of the gorgeous BDF Jennifer Ann (Gjest x Stine-Ene) -- Bren
