Can't guess what we'll be ready to actually DO there, but we'll be there! Kate Fred . kate, as a perpetual rookie at blue earth, i look forward to meeting you. i took oz there when i had owned him for only 2 months. i rode badly, i looked worse.but it was a great experience and introduction to the fjord family. nobody laughed at me, even though i looked like a homeless lumberjack in the halter class, which was the FIRST TIME EVER that i had shown a horse. and nobody laughed when i rode the walk/trot class with a plaid shirt, riding tights and a western saddle (though i do groan when i look at the tapes). they did laugh, however, when i showed up as dorothy in the costume classOZ, get it? and they laughed when i entered the ring for barrels, since i told them i was going to trot the course and they might as well go have coffee. and last year we all laughed WITH heike when she drove for the first time with her stallion, and had a record in conesknocked off just about every tennis ball there was. come and have funoz will welcome you. laurie, and oz the svelter than he was. first year.he was slim, i was fat, second year..he was fat, i was slim.last year my knee was recovering from surgery, so i photographed. this year, hopefully he and i will both be fit enough to have fun The FjordHorse List archives can be found at: http://tinyurl.com/rcepw

Re: Lower 48 Weinies
This message is from: Loretta Reynolds [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi Everyone, Hope you and your fjords are well. We're in NJ and this week has been fjord weather I had to laugh the other night when I was at the barn. I groomed Duncan, and watched him as he drained one of his water buckets, and started playing in the second one. I refer to this as snorkeling. Before I leave I give everyone in the barn a piece of carrot in their buckets. As I was doing this I noticed everyone had 2 or 3 blankets and/or sheets on--but not Duncan. He is naked as a jaybird and just loving this weather. I wish I could say the same!! Ah well--spring is coming! Loretta - Be a PS3 game guru.

serious fly sheets
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi All, Tho' it may only be February, I'm thinking ahead about a month or so when we start to get flies and gnats hatching out on my place and my mare starts to rub. I'm looking for a *serious* fly sheet, the kind with a panel that wraps under the belly to protect it, and a tail cover (or wrap) and neck protection too. Anyone have any experience with this type of fly sheet on their Fjordie? (And yes, I do give her garlic).

Bay Area Equestrian Network expands
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi Everyone- It's finally raining here, so I actually did some house keeping (LOTS of cat hair) and am working on a paper for school. I've been meaning to post information about the expansion of Bay Area Equestrian Network. I spend wy too much time on this web site, looking at pictures, reading articles, and posting on the message boards. Big fun. They now have several sister sites, including Oregon Equestrian Network. I looked on their breeder's directory and saw NO FJORDS. Come on, guys, let's get the word out about our breed! These web sites are VERY popular. Go to www.bayequest.com and scroll down to the list of sister sites in the lower left hand corner. / )_~ /L/L Brigid Wasson SF Bay Area, CA www.eponahorsemanship.com The FjordHorse List archives can be found at: http://tinyurl.com/rcepw

Re. Nice fjord Figure
This message is from: Sue Clark-Sorger [EMAIL PROTECTED] I have this figurine and a gray dun also, I ordered them directly from Northlight in England came out less expensive, even with the cost of postage, than $100. I do agree they are some of the nicest figurines I have seen and made a nice addition to my fjord horse collection. Now if I could only afford a Beswick figurine I would be in 7th heaven but the latest one on Ebay is up to $500 a bit to much for me. The snow is melting and I had enough clear arena to lunge my fjords today, also got manes cut and Fjordies groomed, they shed enough hair for me almost fill a much bucket.

Re: fjordhorse-digest V2007 #35
This message is from: L Hesse [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi, folks, Just wanted to introduce myself...new to the list. My name's Laura Hesse, my Fjord's name is Sally (aka Liesel). We're from Vancouver Island. My old girl is 18 - 20 yr old and the light of my life. I call her Dr Sal the Norwegian Horse Psychologist. Would bet your folks know what I mean :) Just wanted to say that I ride in a lot of wet weather and like high boots and poncho. I find a lot of slickers drip down the front of the saddle and that a poncho will cover both the pommel and cantle. I ride in a Torsion treeless saddle as my girl is 13.3 and 1200 lbs. She loves the rain and mountains and the poncho keeps us both drier. It just took some groundwork to get her used to it.

Bedwell River Outpost
This message is from: fjords [EMAIL PROTECTED] I was just watching a TV program (Fine Living) listing their 10 most romantic places. Lo and behold - one of the places uses Fjords to transport the guests to their accommodations! If I didn't have Fjords I wouldn't have noticed but it was exciting seeing them. Here's a link to the Bedwell River Outpost that shows the Fjords pulling the wagon. http://www.wildretreat.com/outpost_activities/equestrian.html Taffy Mercer Kennewick, WA The FjordHorse List archives can be found at: http://tinyurl.com/rcepw

wet weather riding.
This message is from: Gail Russell [EMAIL PROTECTED] Just wanted to say that I ride in a lot of wet weather and like high boots and poncho. I find a lot of slickers drip down the front of the saddle and that a poncho will cover both the pommel and cantle. Thank you for this assessment. This is what I suspected. I suppose most of the slickers come from Australia, or arid cowboy country where it doesn't rain for hours and hours. Gail The FjordHorse List archives can be found at: http://tinyurl.com/rcepw
mare for sale in WI
This message is from: Dave and Patti Walter [EMAIL PROTECTED] I have a SUPER cute mare that came on the farm to sell on consignment. Doll head, really cute! She is by A.S. Rinska, got a high red in conformation, Tilly her dam was a red dun. All German bloodlines. Rinska's sire was Modellen, who was a white dun. Modellen was by Rei Halsnaes whom most know threw great movement, athletic ability and cute heads. This mare is named Skyview Slyvia and is sired by Grabbson. Grabbson really threw some nice willing, solid minded Fjords in the midwest before being sold and moved out west. I started quite a few of Grabbson's offspring and liked them all. Grabbson also threw a LOT of gray offspring. SoShe has color in her background so future broodmare would be an added plus perhaps with color? Slyvia has very nice conformation, I think she would eval out blue. Slyvia has a GREAT walk to her and a good trot. She was started by her owner and was used as a trail horse. She is now in training at FCF learning the finer skills of riding and doing well. She is PERSONALITY PLUS. A very smart girl. I can see her as a pony clubber mount, performance or pleasure mount for child or adult. She has plenty of body to carry an adult around. Owner said she was super on the trails, very bold and brave. She is just adorable and will steal any heart. I measured her at 14.1hh Priced at $6200.00 depending on the length of training here at FCF , the price could go up. Located in East Central Wisconsin, video available for serious inquiries. She also is a very sweet mare, comes right up to you in the pasture, loves attention and really wants to please. FCF has exciting news. Eby Higdon joined staff here this year. She was working for me about 2 yrs ago and then went off to Japan to teach english. She has since returned and wants to stick with horses full time. I'm thrilled, she is such an asset to the farm. Great instructor, Great rider, Great trainer. Really is great to have someone around. Eby will be taking horses in on training, is taking over the lesson program and will just be helping me in general. She has opening for '07, if anyone is interested in getting some training done. She has started many young horses, mostly arabs, tbs, warmbloods, but LOVES the Fjords. She did work with Fjords 2 yrs ago and as has ready gotten a few Fjords in for training this year and doing great with them. She just loves their brains and said yesterday. You know, I'm finding I have a lot less patience for those other breeds and their silly tactics, since working with the Fjords. They are so sensible, I just love them! Eby's background is in dressage, pleasure shows and jumping. I think sometimes we forget what we have in our Fjords. I know I sometimes do, until I handle another breed,then it all comes back to me. They are AWESOME! Still pretty cold here in East Central Wisconsin. Although we are along the lake so a bit warmer but am looking forward to warmer days! SOON, please SOON! :-) Patti Jo Walter www.franciscreekfjords.com The FjordHorse List archives can be found at: http://tinyurl.com/rcepw
