Re: funny ebay ad
This message is from: "Reena Giola" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> oh gosh Laurie, that is just too funny!! I read the ad the other night. Sure hope she sells her saddle!! Reena and Gus AZ Q: Hey, you made the Fjord Horse list. we over here generally have horses with big butts. however, should your 18 fit a woman AND a horse with a big butt, i might be interested. however, when you talk about the 17 being SNUG, i would imagine it would take a 21 or bigger for our ample asses (mind and my horse's). guess i will just have to go back to riding on an old VW back seat. laurie in minnesota Dec-06-06 A: I have nothing to say that's funnier than that.

Hi Bonnie. Just wondering about the statement, " these horses have never been shown, we dont waste our time in the show ring. " Thanks Lisa for the nice response. I, too, was a little disconcerted, we all have these great horses and we do what we do best with them. Since I work (8) and commute (3-4), I look on shows as scheduled "fun" with my horses. Some of ours do draft (log/sled) or trailride or drive at home but I don't have time for enuf of that. For me, scheduled shows give me an outlet where I get to go and work my horses and we all have a lot of fun. To me, the "show ring" can be the county fair (open grass), the CDE marathon, parades, the 25th anniversary, expos (indoors+ out), etc. IF I ever retire, I think I will turn our arena into a "show ring" and just invite friends out to play horse Marsha in VA (PS, the horses have Curt all day to train and talk with them, I am the 8-5 "stick in the mud" that needs scheduled fun to survive!) http:www.deepcreekfjords.com _ ___ Do you Yahoo!?

Mare for sale
This message is from: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hello, A neighbor is selling her mare. She is 9 years old and has been used in the last 2 years just for her children to ride (bareback) on. The mare was trained and ridden at training level at one point in her life. I got on her today and she was a bit "rusty" but I can tell she has had some good training. Nice western Jog, yet she had a good strong English Trot as well. Her canter needs balance. She is asking $4500. We are located in Southern Oregon. (South of Roseburg and North of Grants Pass off the I-5) The mare has had 3 foals. The mare was hitched to a cart 3 years ago but only a few times so the owner is clearly saying she is very green broke at driving. Contact me directly if you are interested in this mare. I am not getting commission on this one; I am just trying to help a neighbor.

Re: Viking?
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi Catherine! I also read somewhere (though I can't remember the actual source to cite) that the word "viking" was a norse verb that meant, roughly, to go adventuring/voyaging for profit and that it came to be used as a noun by the people of northern Europe and the British Isles to describe the Norsemen who came to their shores. The same source (I'm looking...I'm looking) said that while the Norsemen were not totally against taking what they wanted, that, like any sensible group of entrepeneurs far from home, they preferred trading to raiding. It's less expensive in hard to replace manpower and less damaging to the desired property. Ask your resident Viking what he's heard in this regard. I never heard of it coming from a place name but a lot of terms do, so that sounds pretty reasonable. Kay and Braveheart and Bogie, who both think it means separating Saddlebreds from their hay by forceful teamwork. The FjordHorse List archives can be found at: http://tinyurl.com/rcepw
