Cozy but ugly horse-feeding outfit. The real shock, though, occurred when I was very pregnant with my older son, Don. My husband was from Laramie, so we went there for Christmas.

RE: ticks (yuck!)
This message is from: Jean Ernest <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hi Rosemary, I have a 100 gallon stock tank which is insulated with 2" blue styrofoam panels under and around the sides. Then I built a plywood box around that so the fjords wouldn't eat the styrofoam. It also has a cover with a large hole at each end. I heat it with a 1500 watt tank heater that sits on the bottom. It won't freeze up even in -55 degrees. of course this adds about $40-$50 to my electric bill in the coldest months, even tho it has a thermostat. This first half of March is the coldest on record, as was the last half of February. Normally we would be having temperatures above freezing or in the 20's during the day. but it only got up to about -3 today. Sun is warm and d the Fjords are shedding, I see loose hair on their backs. but it is too cold to go out and comb or scrape the hair off.

When my light brown dun mare, Anvil's Linnea ( Leidjo X Lena * both imported from Norway ) did her Conformation Evaluation it was noticed, but not noted, that she has a rear white hoof. Linnea also recieved a Blue Ribbon for her conformation scores. There was a " guest " evaluator ( Arne Prestius ? sp? ) making comments to the crowd, about each Fjord that came through, and he was not afraid to say which things about them that he liked, or did not. When it came time for Linnea's Blue Ribbon presentation, I was sure he would mention her white hoof, Instead, he took some time... looked her over again, and finally said, " well, all I will say about this mare, is, that we should be importing a few like her, BACK to Norway ! " ; ) I have also heard a funny story about an imported red dun mare from the Unrau's. Anita said that she imported a beautiful red dun mare from Norway.picked from many other Fjords she could have brought back. She tried, but could not, register her with the Canadian Fjord Horse Registry because she had a white blaze ! s, she " had " to register her with the NFHR..! ; / It is interesting to see when prominent Stallions produce random white markings, it is seldom mentioned, although the offspring seem to be quite correct. Or maybe the dams are being held as the " cause " of the white markings. Although I have none of it in my herd right now, Im sure that we will continue to see these stars, blazes, hoofs. With the latest Fjord " fad " being Uls ( white ) duns, red duns, yellows ect. it is sure to keep people " kissing " those little pale spots ! Lisa Pedersen ** AOL now offers free email to everyone.

Big Congrats
This message is from: "Dave and Patti Walter" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Just wanted to congratulate Cheryl Whitfield of SC, for her decision in purchasing O.H. Sebastian. He has to pass his vet check, but see no problem with that. Sebastian is a COOL horse, owned for a little while longer by Mary Blatz of NY. Mary did a wonderful job in raising him, training him, taking care of him. He is just wonderful, he'll do whatever you want and in a VERY safe manner! Cheryl bought Luton from Ken Raspotnik a year or two ago and you know the saying, "they are like potato chips, you can't just have one" Well...soon she will have TWO. I know she will be thrilled with him, ANYONE would! Have several NICE Fjords for sale, if you are looking or know of someone who is, check out my website to see who we all have on the farm. I'm getting two more next weekend. Highland Prairie Tore, coming on consignment, neat horse. AND I bought myself a new Fjord Gelding, Tomas. Owned by Bob and Therine Gudknecht. I'm hoping that Tomas will want to be a jumper! He has only been driven, but I know his calling is for becoming a hunter/jumper!!! Have my first show of the season March 31, in Green Bay. Hunter/jumper Show. NEED a Fjord to take there next year!!! My TB is pretty awesome, but there is just something about jumping with a Fjord.

Re: fjord fur
This message is from: Jean Ernest <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I comb/rake the fjords out in the corral, and , altho I do not leave ALL of the fur lying in the corral I do leave a lot. Then watch the ravens as they come and try to cram the biggest bunch of fur in their beaks as they can, hopping along, picking up hair, putting it in piles, then when pile is big enough, trying cram it all into their beaks before flying off. fur falls out of their beaks, then try to get more in, then lose more, finally taking of in flight to their nests. Once in awhile, they will get intrigued by the long fjord tails and try to remove some of that hair also. Jean in Fairbanks, Alaska, sunny and temp has risen to ZERO! Hooray!
