How to get a saddle that fits.( That send botton is to easy to hit) . Now For a true joke? here is the worst answer I ever heard. I was in a tack store just east of Spokane and the guy says. Ah any saddle in here will fit a fjord if you throw it in the driveway and run over it with your truck a few times. yuk I suppose he has seen to many overweight fjords.

General Membership meeting location
This message is from: Judy Phelps <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hi , I noticed that the NFHR general membership is in Georgia this year. I think it is an out-of-the-way place for a membership meeting. I wonder excatly how many of our NFHR members live in or near Georgia and how many plan to make it to the meeting? Anyone? Why not have the general membership meeting in conjunction with one of the regional shows in order to make it easy for members to attend? Rotate the location year to year. Just a thought.

RE: Opal (mare that is for sale)
This message is from: "Michele Noonan" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Nina forgot to mention, Opal not only nursed her foal one year, but took on an orphan foal too. She still has her girlish figure too. (Wish I could say the same) When I owned Opal (the only reason I sold her was because we kept her awesome son WHR ELSKER, our stallion), Opal slowly but surely took over nursing Tone's little filly. Opal didn't even have a foal that year, but had one the year before and still had milk. I think she can look at a foal and produce milk. We finally gave in because we ride Tone so much and at 3 months old gave little Erica, to Opal. She nursed her 3 more months before we pryed them apart. Opal gave us our very first fjord foal and she gave Shirley Anderson some nice foals also. I like my herd to run together as much as possible, otherwise I would buy her back!

Are your girls mature? because they will change saddle size as they mature. depending on body type. Most of my herd take a 3/4 quarter horse tree some take a full. Then I have a smaller lighter saddle for training youngsters Good Luck Newell Andrus wrote: Hello, I have recently purchased 2 fjord fillies and am having a very difficult time finding a saddle maker in the area that has ever worked with them. The big hang up is the tree. Since every one in the area is so busy I have decided to take a class and build my own saddle. Is there a “fit” you would recommend?
