Hi Gayle: Just had a quick look at your web site and wanted to let you know
you did a beautiful job. Not many quarter horse people around here would
even give a Fjord a second look. Anyway I live about 45 minutes east of
Calgary, Alberta and presently have 9 Fjords that I love dearly. Just
wondering if you might have a couple of these Fjord calendars still
available. I did see the conversation  about them earlier but I hesitated
because of our crappy dollar. Changed my mind today and thought I'd buy
myself a Christmas present. Please let me know if their is a chance and how
much extra you would need for the shipping and postage. Keep up the great
work you and your husband are doing with the Fjords. Hope to be at
Nordicfest next year. Was to late to get accommodations this year.
Have A Good Day,
Marg Shorhen

Hello,

Just wanted to let folks know that the printer is finished with the
calendars
and I will pick them up tomorrow.  I should have them in the mail to you
Friday.  I ordered a few extras since there was so much interest in them so
if anyone else wants one, please let me know.  $20 will cover costs plus
shipping.

Dear Ursula
I haven't had the opportunity to meet you and your husband yet  but my
husband  and I raise Fjords near Calgary. I was wondering if you could help
us in regards to the Libby show.  We have been trying for years to make it
down to watch but something always comes up. We are determine to go this
year but we are having trouble finding out if there is any camp site still
available. We don't need anything special as we just have a truck and
camper. Could you let us know who tocontact or would anyone around that area
let us park in their field. Any help would be greatly appreciated and hope
to see you at the show.
Thanks ,
Marg

   Dear Group from Brian Jensen;
   The Libby Show 2001 will have a great starter with the
fours entering the arena at 1 P.M. on Sat. The midwest group has been
running the four-up class for many years and Libby can finally follow suit.
As the pictures have shown recently there looks to be at least three fours
competing this year. Many thanks to Dennis Johnson and the show committee
for including the class. Beth and Sandy of Starfire will be there as well
as
Jeff and Lisa Peterson.Trinity Fjords  four will be there as well.I was
hoping for Pat Malloy to start a four , but some bad luck with a helpers
injury and a huge drought in their area has caused them to cancel their
trip this year . We will certainly miss them.
 Our Driving Weekends have been completed successfully for
the third year with about 20 successful entrants overall. If you are
interested in 2002 talk to us at Libby about a weekend next year.We already
have bookings and some spaces taken so let us know if you are interested.
Hopefully there are now more enthused and safety aware drivers out there to
use their Fjords in the wonderful sport of Driving.
   I may be looking for a groom for the four and unique
hitch so if you are interested in the sport of driving and want to
participate in the show let me know. I have one groom confirmed and another
cancelled due to personal reasons. Most men do not want to dress in livery
for the class so usually it is the ladies who give me a hand.
  See you at Libby for lots of Fjord fun and visiting

Hi from Hunbun's Fjords near Calgary, Alberta. I was just wondering if you
knew the price of these calendars or does Virginia have an e-mail or fax
number. Sounds like the Fjords are well represented. Any help you can give
me would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks Marg

Hi from Carol Rivoire at Beaver Dam Farm in Nova Scotia -


This is a big-time Brag Alert -

We're really thrilled this morning at Beaver Dam Farm because yesterday we
received the first copies of the Horse Classic Equine Calendar for 2002,
and our Nova Scotia Beginner Driving Vacation is featured as one of two
recommended Equine Vacations.  The other is in Costa Rica.

The Fjords got tremendous coverage ---  11 photos if you can imagine, and a
full page of text.  Costa Rica only got a half page.

Betsy Patryjak's mare, Mira, is featured.  She was at Beaver Dam Farm on
consignment when the Horse Classic crew was here.  She's shown with one of
our European Interns, Lida Talma from Holland.  Lida, or The Lovely Lida,
as she was known, is the namesake for Mira's filly, LIDAMIR.

The photos they chose are really great.  There's a lovely one of Gjest in
harness, and others of him being driven by our beginner driver guests.
There's also a wonderful photo of an 11 yr. old girl driving the cones
course in a marathon vehicle with our mare, Holly (Solar).  It's a great
action photo with Holly bending round the curve and the young girl doing
just what she was taught.  --

This beautiful, full-color calendar is available at almost all tack shops
throughout the U.S. and Canada, or you can order it from Horse Classics
 by writing to Virgina P. Clemens, 4799 Lower Mountain Road, New Hope, PA
19838, tel. 215-794-5878.

Denise,
My wife had a similar experience years ago in the Tonquin valley of Jasper,
Alberta, and the horses were hobbled.  Everyone said that they would not go
across streams nor go uphill.  They did both, went across 2 streams and
uphill to the tree line.  Good luck.  They are herd animals and will seek
out their own kind, so looking for them on horse back may attract them
towards yourself.

Try dusting the horses with D.E..  We use it for all kinds of insect
control,,it is non-toxic and as it falls to the ground/bedding it kills
insects there as well.
Hope this will help you a little bit.
