Outstanding Fjord Filly for sale in WI
This message is from: Dave and Patti Walter [EMAIL PROTECTED] I have decided to put my adorable filly up forsale. O.H. Braelyn, or Bri is a Flotren x Rannita baby. VERY much like her father in being VERY athletic, VERY talented, WONDERFUL personality, Great Movement. She really floats. She definately can do H/J when she is older, dressage, eventing, driving, whatever. She is the cutest girl too. Everyone just loves her that comes on the farm. She is the first one to come to the fence to greet you. Very curious, loves people, VERY sweet. I have pictures of her on my website, couple of them are from Spring, have current ones and would be more then happy to do a video for any serious inquires. Wonderful pedigree for future breedings. I have worked with her and she lunges, long lines, ground drives, pulls a tire, will soon be pulling a drag and then the cart will be introduced. She is use to the saddle and a bit. Too young to get on her, but is use to being worked with and messed with. Not a spooky girl, knows all her voice commands, and we have worked on showmanship, setting up and pivoting. She also does laterals in hand. 13.3hh currently $5750.00 Email for more information.

Fw: Wadsworth accident
This message is from: Reena Giola [EMAIL PROTECTED] This was sent to me by another horsey friend. An update to that horrific double decker trailering accident... the slide show is long but well worth the watching Reena AZ You may remember reading about the horrible accident on the freeway in Illinois which involved a double-decker semi packed with 57 horses, many of whom died. Here is an update and a link to the rescue organization who has been entrusted with the survivors - if you quickly scroll to the bottom of the page there are some heartwarming, and heart breaking, photos in their slide show. Despite their size, please remember these are all PMU babies that were headed for slaughter. http://www.harpsonline.org/index.php?src=newsrefno=13category=NewsPHPSESSI D=5ed01c3e45a674059a0c8b422248aed0 Here is the latest update from HARPS (note: I do not recommend you click the link to the accident scene photos): On Saturday night, a double deck semi trailer containing 57 draft type horses overturned on hwy 41 in Wadsworth Illinois on route to a sale barn in Minnesota. (This sale barn is frequented by killer buyers) In 2006 a law was passed banning the use of double deck trailers to transport equines to slaughter for human consuption. Those responsible for the verbage of this law left a loophole large enough for this double deck trailer to drive through. Donna received a call at 11 pm, from a HARPS volunteer who lives in the area of Wadsworth Illinois. Donna was informed of the situation and quickly called the local fire department to offer HARPS assistance and the use of our Equine Ambulance. The situation was well under control thanks to the cheif of the Newport Fire Department and his crew as well as many local horse owners. The Newport Fire Department had previously attended the Emergency Rescue Training program through The Lake County Mounted Posse. Photos from the scene of the accident ~ caution, these images may be too graphic for some viewers. Posted 11/3 Thank you for your interest and offer to adopt one of the wonderful Draft Horses remaining from the tragic Hwy 41 double deck trailer accident. We have received over two hundred applications and there are not enough horses to go around. We will be working with the six Veterinarians and the Fire Chief to determine who will become the recipient of the animals. The volunteers who risked their lives to rescue the horses will be given first right of refusal. Unfortunately they may not be released from their quarantine quarters for several weeks due to an outbreak of Strangles, which as you know is highly contagious. So please be patient, their future is still in the hands of the one who spared their lives. Donna Ewing, President and Founder of HARPS We have received numerous phone calls and e-mails offering support and questions about adopting the surviors of the accident. Donna called the insurance company and offered HARPS assistance. The Great Western Insurance Company has been most sympathetic and helpful and wants to be sure that these horses go to good homes and not to slaughter. HARPS will in fact be in charge of the adoption process when the horses receive a clean bill of health. Rescuers from the accident will have the first opportunity to adopt, and then the remaining horses will be offered to the public, qualified homes only. Details on the horses available for adoption will be posted as the information becomes available. Below is a slideshow of the horses as of November 3rd. They were all receiveing treatment for their wounds, being rinsed, walked, and as you'll see ~ loved. HARPS has received phone calls and e-mails from every corner of the country; expressing concern, questions about adopting one or several of the horses, offers to help and outrage regarding the double deck trailer packed with 57 innocent creatures who were no doubt headed for slaughter. As tragic as it was, this accident saved their lives, and may help to save others from a similar fate by getting the transportation laws changed. We have been overwhelmed with phone calls and e-mails regarding the adoption process and adoption requests. If we responded to your e-mail twice, we apologize. If you haven't heard from us yet, please be patient we are going through all of the e-mails as quickly as we can. If you are interested in adopting one of the draft horses, please be sure to fill out the adoption form linked to this page. We also still have several white horses available for adoption, be sure to look at the white horse page. Thank you all for your concern, we are all grateful to the people who were on the scene, and did such a wonderful job during the rescue.

The results are spectacular. The Fjords go from gathering around to see what's going on to falling asleep. Anyone interested in this CD? Ellen.

RE: Ironwood Farm Announcements and Sale Horses
This message is from: Frederick J Pack [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hey folks! This means that there will be an extremely well trained white Fjord stud west of the mountains, near Seattle. I know it will be will trained, as Bonnie trained Mike Melby's stallion to Blue in Libby in '06 and trained our stud The Showman to Blue in ground driving at Libby in '05. Although it will be two years or so before being available for stud, I would strongly suggest booking an advance position as this white colt is magnificent. Our stud, The Showman, is in advanced training at Bonnie's and will be available for stud come spring. Our Prydarson colt, Zavtra, should be ready to stand at stud this spring also. Got to get some pix taken when they shed out Our options, and herd, are finally coming together..except Bonnie has the white colt and we don'tDRAT.

Ironwood Lordalen, our 2007 white dun colt (Ironwood Blitzen/FC Madellin) has been sold to Bonnie Morris.? Lordalen will be relocating to Washington State later this week.? I appreciate that it will be years before Lordalen will be covering mares, but he's worth keeping tabs on.? Bonnie, who posts regularly here, will doubtlessly keep us informed of his adventures.? I'm particularly happy that Bonnie is interested in showing him both under saddle and in harness.? Lordalen has his sire's personality, which means he'll be steady and have a good work ethic.? So congratulations to Bonnie and may she enjoy this special colt. The FjordHorse List archives can be found at: http://tinyurl.com/rcepw
