This message is from Phillip Odden

Congratulations to the Starfire team and to Cynthia on the performance of
these wonderful horses. When our fjords compete in open shows and they do
well, we all win. An athletic horse is not only a pleasure to watch, it is a
pleasure to ride or drive such a horse. A forward athletic fjord horse on the
trail ride is so much more fun than one that you constantly need to coax
forward.

Success like this is the result of someone choosing the right horses and lots
of work and skill in getting them to the show. Information learned at our NFHR
evaluation programs, as well as evaluations programs in other countries is the
foundation for making good decisions concerning the horses you  choose to work
with. Working with first class breeders, trainers, coaches and clinicians
shows us the way. Great job!

Way to go!!

Congratulations, Cynthia, on Teddy´s performance. Way to go!  You are
obviously doing very well with him and, of course, he was well-started.  I

Expo - Albany, OR

2008-04-09 Thread Gayle Ware

This message is from: Gayle Ware [EMAIL PROTECTED]


Hi Catherine,
Maybe some or all of you might think I am being a bit of a 'wet rag' but 
why
do these wonderfully distinctive horses need to be presented with a 
'theme'?
Aren't they enough of an attraction on their own merits or is it a 
requirement

of the Horse Expo management to have a theme?
I'm sorry but I didn't get to catch much of the fjord demos, just late
Sunday's, and it was like a freezer in there, you guys are to be commended 
for

hanging out all weekend in that cold.
JMPO but I would rather participate straight up doing a single or group 
demo
in riding or driving in conventional tack, and doing it well, than trying 
to
keep a sombrero on my head or a pirate sword from whacking my horses 
golden

hinde - (pun intended! ;~))


Karen McCarthy



The theme is mainly for the booth and the music we use. The performances
have been straight up performances.  I do not think Gayle and Dusty's
performance was costumed out or ran over by the theme of our booth. Or was
it? Let me know.  Our theme was A Fjord for all Seasons and a Fjord for 
all

Reasons.


Hi,

I just wanted to comment briefly about our demo at the Albany Expo before 
heading to the barn for the day.  Karen, I'm sorry I missed seeing you 
there.  Wish you could have made it to the stalls to visit.  You are right, 
it was COLD  MISERABLE to say the least.  Did you see any of the Fjord 
demos on Sun?  We (me  the gals from my barn) weren't 'costumed', but 
rather rode in traditional (well sorta  I'll explain that in a bit) Western 
attire with black, long sleeved shirts, black pants, glitzy vests and black 
Western hats.  We all were perfectly matched, well, that is, except for me. 
Normally we would wear a black slinky with vests and black jeans.  HOWEVER, 
since it was so very cold, I opted to put a sweat shirt underneath, black 
turtle neck to replace the slinky and vest on top of that.  Plus, I replaced 
the cold jeans for black SKI PANTS.  When you're young, you have a need to 
look good at all costs.  AHEM, when you get older you get smarter and opt to 
be comfortable!!  Guess that makes me older!  LOL!!


Matt  Becky Hope demonstrated packing for the first part of the Fjord demo. 
I was actually wishing at one point that I was riding with them because they 
had a lot more clothes on and looked much warmer than we were!!  They were 
accompanied by a couple of gals riding English.


I have a brilliant idea. I'd like to challenge someone out there to 'invent' 
a full body suit like the little crushable hand warmers.  I have a vision of 
a real 'hands on' warm up arena with everyone trying to crush the little 
thingys inside to activate the heat!  UH OH - guess I'd better go clean 
stalls!

Hay Insurance

This message is from: Willows Edge Farm [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Here are a couple horse related questions I've been pondering and wonder
what everyone else is doing/paying...

What are you paying for good horse hay? 
I under-estimated and am now paying for it...$265-270 a ton.

Do you insure your horses?
I have done so in the past, but trying to reason why to continue (for the
riding/broodmares)?

Last year I paid $130/ton, delivered and stacked for small bale grass 
hay.  Right now it's running $150-160/ton around here.

Go to Premier1's website or get their catalog.  They

 A tornado ripped through my pastures recently,
 tossing, snapping, twisting and
 shattering hundreds of trees, completely destroying
 my perimeter fence line, and
 nearly ripping the roof off our house!  The
 insurance company paid for house
 damage, roof, flooring, the fence around the yard
 that got smashed by falling
 trees, and fixing the barn roof, but they won't help
 with the farm fencing.  The
 cost of putting up a new fence around 16 acres is
 enough to make you shudder,
 but the cost of the bulldozer to clean up on top of
 that is staggering.  
 
 Thank heavens for friends.  Fourteen people came out
 with another tractor and
 lots of chain saws and helped us clear the fence
 line from the barn to the top
 of the hill, allowing us to put up an electric fence
 so we were able to let the
 horses out to stretch their legs the week after the
 storm.  They were going nuts
 cooped up in the tiny paddocks!  And just last week
 we finished a second pasture
 so they can graze a little bit this year (thanks
 heavens for rain!). 
 
 My questions are:
 
 I have heard that if you leave the tree stumps for a
 year, they will be easier
 to remove.  Is this true?  Would it make a
 difference to a bulldozer?
 
 Is there any other way to clear the mess that I
 might not have thought of?
 
 Is there any fencing out there that is reasonably
 priced for a perimeter other
 than electric and barb wire?  
 
 It happened two months ago and we still have so much
 clean up it is quite
 disheartening.  Is there anything else that anyone
 can think of to tell me?

It is very easymind you I just started today, and I have managed to 
actually get several pages already!  The best part is  it is free.  Mostly 
my pages consist of pics so farI have no idea yet how much I can 
actually do in therebut I breed and sell Himalayian kittens and sending 
potential buyers my web url certainly beats emailing pics constantly. (:
