Hello from Olivia Farm,
   
  I just wanted to let you all know that we had another successful foaling last 
night at about 11:15.  OFI Kjekk, was born to our blue ribbon mare, 
Peppertree's Bininka by BDF Kanada King, and our senior stallion, Anvil's 
Morgen by Modellen.  Kjekk is a good looking fellow, pretty good sized (how he 
fit in his little mom, I'm still not sure!), and a lovely, creamy,brown dun 
shade.  Both mom and baby are doing very well.
   
  We love foaling season around here (especially when it is all over!).

Solveig,

I envy you. We are still waiting for two foals to come. Our farm is normally
done by now. We try to get all the foals on the ground before haying season
and show season. Things just seem to be late this year. 
--

We have three outstanding geldings from last year's crop for sale at our
farm. Two owned by us and one by Amy Evers of Dun Lookin Fjords. All have
been handled and all do the basics. (lead, tie, pick up feet for farrier,
stand to be groomed, washed, load and haul, and are just nice colts!)
Contact Amy at [EMAIL PROTECTED] or myself at [EMAIL PROTECTED] if you want
more information on these yearlings.

I have been reading many of your thoughts on carts and other horse drawn
equipment on the list.  It is good that we are all sharing ideas and concerns
about safety and function.  As was mentioned, there are many vehicles out
there to avoid and many have come to our shop for repair and rebuild.  Each
year we do a free tune up at Sunwood and help each other get their equipment
in order for a safe and enjoyable drive.  Safety is key at our driving events
and we have had a very good track record with our equipment and many satisfied
customers.  Check out our web site for more information and vehicles

Hi List,



I wanted to share an experience from this past Saturday. I have had quite 
a

few guests come visit my girl.  Each and every person who sees her, thinks
she is very beautiful, and very friendly. When someone new arrives, she
trots in to the barn to see who is there and then greets them with a 
whinny.





I had two friends come at the same time, both with children, ages 14 and 
uh
a 5 year old boy, who was sweet for the first 5 minutes. The adult with 
the
5 year old allowed him to go wherever he wanted, (running at all times, 
she

also brought her 6 month old yapping terrier puppy.  I always try to be
hospitable, but keep things in order so no one gets hurt. The 5 year old,
ignored my corrections, continued to run circles around my filly in the 
barn
and out of the barn, while the dog barked and barked   The 14 year old 
girl

bless her heart was smitten with Farra, was hugging and brushing her, all
while the dog was shrieking, and the child was running around the barn. He
was also playing kick ball with my yellow labs so they were running around
outside the barn chasing the ball. LOTS of  noisy and moving stimulation!



I almost fell over when the boy's mother in an attempt to get him to stop
running told him to go brush her legs. She then boasted how she always has
him brush her horses legs because she does not want to bend over to do it!
Her horses are over 20. The boy then proceeded to squat down and brush her
legs, all while the dog is shrieking. I watched my filly for any signs of
flight, she was not tied, nor did I have a halter on her because I 
believed

the visit was going to be short and sweet and not chaotic. My Filly seemed
to know , she was focused on the boy, her eyes were soft, ears were
attentive  she did not move a muscle. She took it all in stride. I was 
very

proud of my filly.



It was pretty cute, the little girl was so in love with Farra, I could not
help but watch and smile as she bestowed her hugs and kisses. This little
mare surprises me every day with something new.

Sunny and 65 today.

Hi,
 Cornerstone Fjords is proud to announce our newest addition ..  
Cornerstone's Anja, born at about 5:00am this morning and doing well.   She 
was up and 
nursing quickly, had her vet check, and this afternoon  practiced wearing her 
halter for a short time, (under close supervision).   She joins Lilli born 
exactly a month ago.  We are happy to add these fine  fillies to our little 
barn 
and look forward to the many years of fun we will  have together.  Anja's 
sire is Anvil's Morgen (Modellen) and her dam is  Sonja ( a Karibu daughter).  
Lilli sire is GP 23 Knut and her dam is  Budeia (a Gromar daughter).  Kathy 
is 
now hoping to finally get  reacquainted with her real bed in the house and 
catch up on some much needed  rest.  There is nothing more grand than seeing 
these beautiful little  creatures born that God has created.  Off to check 
horses 
and rest, Kathy  Rollins, Cornerstone Fjords, Deer Park, WA.
