Grabb
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Does anyone know if any of the following is not true about Grabb?? Lee Hardin Grabb was considered a matador of the Fjord breed in Norway. This term was reserved for stallions of unusual quality who made a large impact on the breed. He had more registered, prizewinning sons and daughters than any stallion in his time. Of 98 registered offspring, 20 were sons and 78 daughters. Of the sons, there was one 1st prize, eight 2nd prize, and eleven 3rd prize. Of the daughters, six won 1st prize, 21 won 2nd, and 50 were awarded 3rd prize. Grabb himself was a first prize stallion who was also awarded 1st prize for the quality of his offspring (shown on pedigrees as 1.pr - 1.avk.pr). Grabb is the only stallion ever imported from Norway to the US to have that distinction. His Norwegian registry number is N-1651; His sire was Gullring N1576 2.pr, and his dam was Ivana N12275 2.pr. Grabb's heritage is interesting as he has influence from all three major stallion lines: Bergfast, Oyarblakken, and Hakon Jarl. In fact,of the 32 stallions on his registration certi! ficate, 4 are matadors (Bergfast 635, Gloppang 894, Oyarblakken 819, and Torbjorn 1417).

Ballot and question
This message is from: Robin Churchill [EMAIL PROTECTED] It said in the latest issue of the herald that we were supposed to get a ballot so I thought I lost mine or didn't get one. Maybe the plan just changed and I didn't know it. I have a question if anyone knows any official info on at what temperature a fully body-clipped horse should have a sheet put on? As a lot of you have read, I am the queen of body clipping down here in SW Fl since the horses grow hair long before it even gets close to being cool. I have body clipped my horses 3 times since the beginning of September and they really could use it again. We are having our first cold front and it is down in the 60s--now you have to remember it is normally in the 80s and 90s in the day here and in the 70s at night so if it gets in the 60s us south floridians wear a jacket. It is supposed to get in the 50s tonite and maybe even (horrors!--no actually I love the cool weather because we get so little of it but you do become more sensitive to low temps when you are not used to them) 40s tomorrow night. The tourists think we're crazy--they have shorts on and we have hats and gloves sometimes here in the winter. We don't usually get as cold or hot on the island as on the mainland. My purpose in putting the sheets on is to keep the horses from getting cold but also to slow their hair growth any that I can so I don't have to clip as much. Now I know that most of the hair growth comes from the length of the days but they do seem to get more hair when the temp drops. The problem here is that it might get to 50 at night then the next afternoon it will be 80 again. I also know that horses withstand or feel comfortable at lower temps than people so I don't want to make them too hot or sweat. I usually put on a sheet if it gets in the 50s and a light blanket if it gets in the 40s. Does anyone know any better info than what I made up? I also consider how recently they have been clipped in my decision.

Re: Grabb
This message is from: ruth bushnell [EMAIL PROTECTED] This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Does anyone know if any of the following is not true about Grabb?? Lee Hardin In 1999 (Nov 12th) there was a very thorough, and interesting, accounting of Grabb on this list by Brian Jacobson, DVM, whose grandfather imported Grabb. I suppose you could bring this item up again by searching the archives, the subject title was, the stallion Grabb. At that same time there were several letters written on other notable stallions in the Fjord world. I've always thought that publishing those profiles, along with those of other stallions that shaped the breed, would be a very worthy endeavor--providing of course it was not overly selective. If you're not able to bring that accounting of Brian's up for your purposes, let me know, and I will.
