RE: Driving clinic with Olaf Nyby?
This message is from: "Dagrun Aarsten" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hello Lori, I was looking through some old emails and I found this one that I hadn't seen before! What a wonderful website you have - great pictures, from the clinic, from your farm, and of your horses! And designing and building your own farm - what a dream! Maybe in 20 years from now I'll do the same... Or any of you know a nice, rich (male) unmarried fjord fan who wouldn't mind moving to Norway? That would speed things up a little...:-) Dagrun -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Lori Albrough Sent: Thursday, October 11, 2001 3:14 PM To: fjordhorse@angus.mystery.com Subject: Re: Driving clinic with Olaf Nyby?

Any of you listers? Hi Dagrun: We also attended a clinic with Olaf Nyby which was held in May of this year near Ottawa, Ontario Canada. I have posted some pictures of me and my mare Cindy in the clinic, also a photo of the stallion Felix and some other clinic photos on our web-site at http://www.bluebirdlane.com/nyby.html We greatly enjoyed and benefitted from the clinic. In response to your sensitive horse inquiry, there was one very sensitive yet talented welsh pony at the clinic. Olaf felt the owner didn't push him (the pony) enough and hence wasn't really tapping into his abilities. The owner was in effect letting the ponies sensitivities back her off. We watched as Olaf drove the pony in lovely canter serpentines with flying changes across the center line. I was impressed with how well Olaf communicated with the pony, and he (pony) didn't seem at all over-taxed by this, but rather seemed to enjoy showing off. Lori Albrough Moorefield Ontario PS - Dagrun, I am really enjoying your posts about the horses you have known in Norway. Having met some of them, and seen offspring of others, it is most interesting to hear more about them.

Driving clinic with Olaf Nyby?
This message is from: "Dagrun Aarsten" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hi folks, I heard that Olaf Nyby from Norway recently held a driving clinic somewhere in the US, and that there were Fjords participating. Any of you listers? He lives in the same little place I grew up in Norway. I remember seeing him driving his Oldenburg four-in hand which was impressive. Now he only trains horses and teaches driving, without having horses of his own. He seems to be a great driver and teacher, the only negative thing I've heard is that he can be a little too "dominant" with extremely sensitive horses. If any of you attended I'd be really interested to hear about it! Dagrun
