Book review for the Fjord Herald?

2014-03-18 Thread Alice MacGillivray
This message is from: Alice MacGillivray 


Hello everyone. Thanks again for the inspiration, facts and stories that
contributed to the creation of "Riding Horseback in Purple."  Several people
on this list are quoted or acknowledged or even behind or in front of the
camera.

I have a question.  Most feedback on the book has been very positive, but has
generally been from people with quite a bit of horse experience.  As many of
you know, the goal of the book is to help adults (adult women in particular)
decide whether they are really ready for a horse, and if so, how to prepare
well, find the right horse, and develop a solid, lasting relationship.

I was chatting with Teressa Kandianis about writing an article for the Herald,
and she is interested in getting a review of Riding Horseback in Purple for
the Herald by someone who is a relative beginner.  Do you know someone who
might be willing (or perhaps some of you consider yourselves relative
beginners)?  The paperback is available through Amazon.com (and many other
outlets) or I could arrange for a reviewer to get an e-copy if they've not
read it.  If you do know someone, please check with them to see if they are
keen (rather than volunteering them!)

If you are experienced with horses and have found the book interesting or
valuable for yourself or clients, there are lots of other venues for reviews
such as newsletters or online distributors such as Amazon.

Thank you everyone!
Alice

I know, it doesn't seem possible. But it is. As always, we encourage you 
to share your experiences and expertise with entertaining and/or 
informative articles. If you are reluctant to submit something because 
you think it is to complicated or difficult -- reconsider. Beth and I 
will try to make it a fun and rewarding experience. Holler with any 
questions. You can reach us at edi...@nfhr.com or 303-651-3940.

Remember to send us full-sized, original image files -- if you aren't 
sure what that means, just ask. I'll be glad to help you understand the 
confusing world of digital images.

This message is from: Starfire Farm 


Your winter Fjord Herald should be arriving in your mail box any day now 
and it is almost time for us to start on the next issue.

The article and ad submission deadline is Feb 1. As always, we are happy 
to answer any questions you have about submitting -- especially if 
you're a first time author. If you have something to share that might be 
of interest to other Fjord enthusiasts, don't put it off any longer. 
And, start going through your Fjord photos too -- it might be time for 
another "What have you done, lately" feature. When you send your photos, 
be sure to include captioning information and tell us who took the photo 
so we can give them proper credit.

Look forward to hearing from everyone!

Fjord Herald Submission Deadline

2010-10-24 Thread Starfire Farm

This message is from: Starfire Farm 


Quick reminder that the submission deadline for articles and Ads is 
November 1st.


Think about sharing your summer and fall adventures with the rest of the 
members you know how much you enjoy seeing photos and reading 
stories about other member's experiences. Articles can be about anything 
FJORD! From everyday interactions, trail rides, performances and show 
results, tips on raising or training or just what your Fjord means to 
you. And, we are always collecting images and short stories (usually 
just a paragraph) for the "What have you done lately?" series. If you 
need 'technical' help with your submission, don't be shy -- just ask. 
Usually you can just email everything to us.


Remember -- the Fjord Herald is YOUR publication. Linda, Beth and I just 
pull it all together and get it out there for everyone to read. Without 
YOUR submissions, we have no Fjord Herald. And, along those same lines, 
your advertising support goes a long way toward keeping the publication 
viable. Consider renewing your "Friend of the Fjord Herald" today!


We look forward to hearing from you,
Sandy

You should either have, or be getting, your Winter Fjord Herald in the

If you need any help with your submiission (Ads or articles) don't 
hesitate to drop us an email (edi...@nfhr.com) or give us a call 
(303-651-3940).  And, if you've never submitted anything -- but have

there's nothing like seeing your story/article and photos in print!!!


Thanks to everyone for you unwavering support of the Herald! YOU (and of

2009-10-10 Thread Debby
This message is from: "Debby" 

Received my wonderful copy of the Fjord Heralds fall edition.  Wonderful
wonderful wonderful!
Everyone out working those fjords and having fun.  Me, I'm still trying to dry
out after what seems like weeks of rain, with more scheduled.  The ground
hasn't dried.  As much as I disliked the winters in Missouri, was good when
the winters came and the bugs left and the ground froze.  As long as there
wasn't ice to deal with...that could be treacherous.
So, on page 13, Neil Sorum is driving his guy with a 2wheel cart and I'd like
to know what brand.  Looks easy to get into.  What about the shafts, the curve
at the front.  Advantage, disadvantage.  I see he's using the strap from the
breast collar through the front legs, to the girth...Is this to keep the
breast collar in place so it doesn't choke?
thanks for any information.
Again, wonderful job on the Herald.

This message is from: Starfire Farm 

Just a gentle reminder that the submission deadline for articles and 
advertising for the Summer Fjord Herald is quickly approaching. Don't 
know what everyone has been doing the last couple of monthsbut the 
editor's "InBox" has been pretty quiet!


If you've been putting off writing an article for us -- now is the time 
to put pen to paper (...does anyone do that anymore?) or more likely, 
start that new Microsoft Word document.As always, include a bunch of 
photos for us to pick from to accompany your piece. It should be 
obivious to everyone that the only way we can produce a Herald that you 
enjoy readingis if YOU send us stories, club activity coverage and 
updates, instructional articles etc. to put in it!


And, we're always here to answer questions, so don't be shy.

Look forward to being flooded with your submissions,
Sandy

a sample article at www.nfhr.com.


If you have any questions about article or advertising submissions, 
please contact us at edi...@nfhr.com or call us at 303-651-3940. We're 
always interested in educational articles, articles covering regional 
Fjord events and stories about what you have been doing with YOUR fjord(s).

pictures, so be sure to send them along too!  In order for us to 
consider using you photo for the cover of an issue, it usually needs to 
be a nice, crisp high resolution image or an 8x10 photo that we can scan.


Looking forward to hearing from you!

Last call for Foal Photos for the Fall Fjord Herald....

2008-08-09 Thread Starfire Farm

This message is from: Starfire Farm <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Either Fjord foal births are way down or folks are just busier than ever 
this year.
We only had a handful of photos submitted this year.  I'm pulling the 
images together this weekend
So, if you are one of those "busy and just forgot" folks but can manage 
to get me the photos this weekend
along with the pertinent information (gender, color, sire, dam, 
owner...etc) I will do my best to get them in.


Send the complete, original digital file if at all possible. Do not edit 
or crop before you send them.
We have all the lastest and greatest software for doing that. To 
reproduce well,  your image should be 300 dpi at 6" x 8"
(...a good rule of thumb is the file size should be at least 500-750 
Kbytes and generally over 1 Megabyte).


PLEASE SEND THEM TO [EMAIL PROTECTED]  --- that is the email address for 
Fjord Herald submissions!

The fjord Herald

2008-04-16 Thread MorrisShadowMT
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I received the Herald today and read through some very nice articles and  
well written passages and beautiful pictures, however when I came to one 
article  
in particular  Training a bit less, voice only fjord.   I have to  say that 
It gave me very uncomfortable feeling in many comments such as horses  not 
wanting to please humans (which I have found to be just the opposite  
especially 
with the Fjords)  and if this method were tried by many of the  people that I 
have seen, well I think that I would stay off the road and under  safe cover.   
Using force and discomfort as a primary training method  is only saying to me 
that we as humans have not evolved very far.   As  stated in this article the 
author only has experience with negative  re-enforcement.   Well I must say 
that a good boy or girl and a  lot of good pats a Fjord will do anything for 
you, even leave their beloved  food pile to perform.   So I am rather 
disappointed with this  article.   I do not feel it is sound and safe as method 
that 
should be  advocated in a breed magazine..I am interested in how  everyone 
else felt and is this really an appropriate place for  this sort of thing?

2008-04-12 Thread Starfire Farm

This message is from: Starfire Farm <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Your spring issue of the Fjord Herald is on its way some of you may 
already have it by now!


Just a reminder that the deadline for submitting 
articles/photos/Ads/Anything Else for the upcoming summer issue is 
May 1st. In the past, this has been a relatively quiet time of year and 
we don't get as many submissions for the summer issue as all the others. 
So,  if you've been putting off sharing a story, or sending us a fun and 
interesting photo of what you do with your Fjords (all winter!) now is a 
good time to do it. 

We are always collecting  photos/stories  or "What have you done with 
your Fjord Lately?",  as well as for a "Kidz Page"  -- but will only run 
them when we have enough to make at least a full page. So, keep them 
coming!  Not to mention,  each issue needs a cover photo and yours 
could be next

I have to confess that I get as much pleasure from the Fjord Herald ads as  I 
do the articles.  Thanks to all the great photography you guys put into  your 
ads.  Honestly, I have never drooled over the ads in women's magazines  the 
way I do the ads in the Fjord Herald.  This morning I found myself  folding 
pages to compare stallion to stallion to stallion.  This is  particularly funny 
since I have no interest in breeding - it's almost like I  can't help myself!!

I think I figured out what happened to all of the Canadian Heralds 
this time.  It appears that the whole bag of foreign issues went to 
Sweden for a Winter vacation.  I am sure it is nice in Sweden this 
time of year and hopefully the bag of Heralds enjoyed their stay from 
mid November until January there.  I am not sure if they got to see 
much of Sweden or just spent the time in the bag in the back of a 
truck someplace or what but at least they did find their way to 
Canada eventually!

Spring Fjord Herald Submission DEADLINE is Feb 1

2008-01-14 Thread Starfire Farm

This message is from: Starfire Farm <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Just a quick reminder that we're quickly approaching another Fjord 
Herald submission deadline.


Please don't wait until the last minute to send us your article/photos 
etc. The submission deadline is the LAST date for submission - not the 
ONLY date, nor necessarily the one you should shot for. As amazing as 
this might sound, even though there are three months between issues, I'd 
bet that over 80% of the submissions arrive within a couple days of that 
deadline (often more AFTER the deadline than before!)


As always, we'd love to hear how you've spent the first half or your 
winter and get photos of you and your Fjords participating in winter 
activities.  The Spring issue has traditionally been the issue where we 
feature a calendar of events that will take place throughout the year. 
If you know of an event that you want to share with the membership, send 
us a description of the event, date, cost and contact information.


I heard from one of our Canadian members the other day who JUST got 
their Fall issue on January 3rd. Hopefully everyone has that issue now! 
If not send me an email at [EMAIL PROTECTED] and we'll follow up on it. 
Seems like there has been a couple months between the first issue making 
it into a member's hands and the last issue to arrive.  If you're just 
getting your Fall issue, you'd better read quickly because the Winter 
issue is right on its tail. As a matter of fact, the Winter issue is at 
the printer and should be mailed soon. Thanks to Mike May for getting 
all the necessary paper work and fees taken care of, the Winter issue 
will be mailed as a "Periodical" which should even out the mailing times 
differences and everyone should get their copy in a reasonable time.


Holler if you have any questions!  We also welcome your comments and ideas.
Sandy (and Beth)

but the ads have stepped up a notch, as have the articles.  I find myself

Fjord Herald Reminder

2007-11-02 Thread Fjord Herald Editor

This message is from: Fjord Herald Editor <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Hello Everyone,

The Fall issue of the Fjord Herald just went to print, so you should be 
seeing it in your mailboxes soon (I hope). This is just a reminder that 
we have moved the submission deadline up one month to try to get these 
issues to you in a more "season timely" manner. The next (Winter) 
issue's deadline was yesterday, but because we've changed the deadline, 
we can be somewhat flexible regarding the Nov. 1st deadline date.


Stallion owners, remember that the winter is when many people peruse the 
Herald for stallion shopping purposes, so if you plan to advertise your 
stallions in the Winter issue of the Herald, and you haven't contacted 
us yet, please contact us asap.


For those who have sent us their submissions already, thank you very 
much. We're aleady back into production mode again.Yikes!

Next Fjord Herald Deadline (Stallion Issue!)

2007-10-05 Thread Starfire Farm

This message is from: Starfire Farm <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Hello Everyone,

The Fall issue of the Fjord Herald will soon be on it's way to the
printer, so hopefully you'll be receiving it in your mail in a few weeks.

This is a reminder that, as of the Winter issue, the submission deadline
is moving forward by one month, therefore THE SUBMISSION DEADLINE FOR
THE WINTER HERALD IS NOVEMBER 1st.

It takes Sandy and I about 6 weeks to pull everything together; editing
articles, selecting photographs, soliciting photographs, chasing down
show results, information about events, information for captions, etc.,
etc. Then, we send the material off to Linda Yutzy, who, like a good
puzzle, puts everything into magazine format (she is REALLY good at it!)
Then we have to proof everything (again). That could take a few days. We
realize we all have busy lives, but if your submissions are late, it
slows things down and makes US late! Sometimes our computers crash. Some
of us have experienced production-interrupting weather, etc., etc.

So, keep the new deadline in mind. STALLION OWNERS...you should consider
the Winter issue of the Herald as your Stallion Issue. Now is the time
to place your ads.

***If you would like Sandy and I to create an ad for you, please send us
your request and your material in the next couple of weeks. Or, at the
very least, BY the deadline. We can create your ad (for a fee of $50.00
per hour, minimum one hour). You've seen our work in a significant
number of ads in past issues of the Herald. If you would like to know
which ones, just ask (of course, the Starfire ones are ours! ;-)

Thanks!

Beth and Sandy

Photos/Stories from Winona for next Fjord Herald

2006-10-21 Thread Starfire Farm

This message is from: Starfire Farm <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

I had hoped to take lots and lots of photos at Winona -- and due to our 
busy schedule and the number of horses we were caring for, I didn't take 
a sinlge one!! I would have encouraged everyone to send photos for us to 
consider using for the Winter issue anyway, but now, I'm REALLY needing 
your help.


I spoke with a few people individually while at the show, but I know 
there are many people I didn't speak with who took photos that might be 
fun to include. So as not to overload my computer, I'm going to ask that 
you submit the photos on a CD (or DVD) and mail them to us at:

  Beth Beymer/Sandy North
  2012 Blue Mountain Ave
  Berthoud, CO  80513

PLEASE -- put your name on the CD, a contact phone number or Email 
address and please make it clear who gets the photo credit. Please 
include a note (signed and dated) with the CD that states you are giving 
the Fjord Herald permission to use your photos. And, don't wait -- do it 
soon so we have time to look at all the submissions without impacting 
the publication schedule.


Secondly, I know there are some wonderful, touching, heartwarming, 
humorous stories from the show. (I can think of a few weather-related 
tidbits too!)  If you have a story to share, send that along too. You 
can write it up as a short article, or just send us an Email. Depending 
on what we get, we'll figure out how to include them in the Winter issue.


We are planning on devoting a significant part of the Winter issue to 
the 25th Anniversary event -- and the more good photos/stories we can 
include the better it will be! We'd really like to paint a picture for 
the NFHR members who didn't make it to the show and recreate it for 
those of us who were lucky enough to be there.


If you have any questions -- drop me an Email at [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Thanks!

What a horrible story and sight with that horse trailer.  I had mine checked 
every two years and they thought I was too picky.  An iron hammer tapped on 
the boards often tells you if they are firm.  I have wished that the cross 
bars under the boards was about every two feet instead of the distances in 
most.  I also bought extra heavy rubber pads hoping that distributed the 
weight more evenly.


Also I have not received my Herald either and will contact Mike for another

Fjord Herald??? Trailer Safety

2006-09-18 Thread wriddle
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

OK, Fess up somebody.
You got 2 Fjord Heralds. Mine somehow got stuck to yours and you thought,
"finders keepers". Well, mail it on to me. I am dying of curiosity. Beth and
Sandy put together a Fjord Herald that I can't live without. Have you no
sympathy for my suffering?

Regarding trailer safety:
 This cooincidence can't happen but it did. Friday I was approaching a 4 way
intersection that has a round center. That means that every vehicle goes
around with centrifugal force. Well, I watched as a horse trailer came round
and a horse's right rear hoof came thru the floor. The jolting and curving
thru the intersection caused him to place much of his weight suddenly on that
right rear hoof. Actually, I think it was a mule. I can still see his horrible
reaction as though it were photographed into my mind. I'll spare you the rest
of the story. It was awful. If I had only not been there in that several
second moment.
 Please folks. Check the floors of your trailers. We once bought a "fixer
upper" knowing it needed work. It was a learning experience. The outer edges
of the floor had rotted first, due to manure and the metal framework slowing
the dry out. Do not think that if the center seems firm the horse is safe. Do
not think that if it feels safe to your people weight on your shoes it is safe
if 3/4 of a horse's weight comes suddenly down on that dangerous outer area.
Clean the trailer and check it thouroughly.

I will get the Herald classified as a periodical soon so we can use

2006-09-11 Thread MABogie
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I'm replying to Sandy North's comments in Digest #202.  I really appreciate 
the time you spent discussing the Herald operations, Sandy.  

I agree that when Sally was editor, the Herald was predictable with its 
publication schedule.  Then the Herald went into the debacle of "the new 
editor," 
the person who was unable to publish it and we went through about half a year 
of no Herald and all of sudden, two issues within weeks of each other.  As an 
annual advertiser, it is was very disconcerting.  I note that none of the 
advertisers during that time were given any compensation for that annual cycle. 
 

I think everyone likes the content of the Herald and its attractiveness.  My 
point is that the advertising pays for magazine and we should be able to get 
it published and distributed on time, most of the time.  I'm not blaming 
anyone, but hoping that a solution can be found to improve timeliness.

Ironically, I did receive my Herald after posting to this list.  (Perhaps I 
should have done so sooner to make it appear.)  I advertise in coop with Deep 
Creek Farm.  Alas, our lovely camera ready ad which is published in several 
local horse magazines without trouble looked like it had gone though the fade 
machine in the Herald.  In fairness to Sandy, we were contacted in advance and 
offered compensation for our ruined ad.  However, it does beg the question as 
to 
who proofs the blueline, as our problem happened in the last issue to another 
breeder and Issue 79 has several overstrikes in the text.  It is 
disappointing that such obvious problems were overlooked in proofing.

Given the problems with the printer and the entire distribution system for 
the magazine, I definitely would prefer to get electronic copy.  It will be 
much 
faster and will kill less trees in the process.  It would be nice if the 
board allowed us that option.

Margaret,

I am truly sorry that you are frustrated by the Fjord Herald's delivery 
schedule. The summer issue did run about 3 weeks late, and for that I do 
apologize -- but all the other issues that Beth and I have been 
responsible for have been pretty  much on schedule. And, although there 
may be an occassional late issue, we certainly don't plan to make a habit 
of it. Sometimes there are things out of your control, and sometimes "real 
life" gets in the way.


From your Email, the fact that this one issue is late does not seem to be 
the real problem.  It sounds like you feel the Fjord Herald has been 
consistently late. So, I'd like to take this opportunity to explain a 
little bit about our internal workings/schedules in the hopes that the 
data will allow you to better predict when each issue of the Fjord Herald 
will land in subscriber's mailboxes.
As with any publication, there is some amount of time between the 
submission date and the arrival of the publication in your mailbox. My 
guess is that the amount of time varies from publication to publication. 
For the Fjord Herald, we strive to get the magazine content gathered, 
editted,  formatted and proofed within 6 weeks. All three of us that 
represent the Fjord Herald production team (Linda Yutzy, Beth Beymer and 
I) have other, full-time jobs. So this work is done in the evenings and on 
weekends. To be quite frank, we work our tails off to get it done in 6 
weeks!  Then it goes to the printer. Printing usually takes 10-14 days. 
The summer issue had a glich in the printing process and the covers had to 
be redone (that's an example of things "out of our control"). Then off to 
the mailing house. I'm not sure how much time the mailing house adds to 
our production time, but it is probably several days to a week. Once the 
US Postal service has them  it gets a litttle fuzzy. Since the Fjord 
Herald is currently mailed 3rd class, there is a HUGE variation in 
delivery times.  Beth and I have had our Fjord Herald for a couple of 
weeks while other folks, like you, haven't seen it yet. Mike May is still 
working to get the Fjord Herald classified as a periodical which would 
improve some folks delivery time significantly.


But, as you can see, even the best case scenario -- someone who lives a 
few blocks from the mailing house (which is on the west coast)  the 
shortest time from "Submission deadline" to "Got It!!!" is at least 9 or 9 
1/2 weeks. As noted, there is at least 2 weeks difference in mailing time 
and you still don't have your issue, so the clock is still running. 
Doesn't take long before we're up to 10-12 weeks from Submission deadline 
to mailbox.


That being said, I think you've raised a good issue and it is important 
for our advertisers to factor in the production/mailing time when deciding 
what issue to advertise in, or what marketing focus to use for any issue. 
When Sally did the Herald, we always assumed that the Ad would be seen one 
season after we submitted it and that has worked well for us. The Fjord 
Herald has many advertisers who take out annual contracts (THANK YOU for 
your support!) and most folks seem to have made the adjustment already. 
For instance, last year we saw a spike in Stallion/Breeding advertisements 
in the winter issue. I expect (hope) the same to be true this year. You 
might get better results from your breeding Ad if you move it up from the 
summer issue to the winter issue -- which would arrive in most mailboxes 
in early spring.


As far as an on-line version, that is an issue for the BOD to take up.
Our team really is interested in producing a top-quality NFHR newletter 
that everyone can enjoy. We welcome your feeback, (yes, even "rants") and 
ideas and articles (w/photos, of course). This is YOUR publication, we 
just pull it all together. The next deadline is Dec 1stto arrive in 
your mailbox by early March.

in the last ad. Do you have those on file, and, if so, can I just send the 
ad indicating where the pictures go [I did this with Sally] and have you 
insert the pictures? Or do I need to send the full ad? It is a full-page 
color ad.


Thanks,

Several people have contacted us asking where their Fjord Herald is.

I can't say for sure, but it should be in your mailboxes soon. We (the 
production team) knew it was going to be a little late, because we were a 
couple weeks late getting it to the printer. But then, as Murphy's Law 
would dictate, the printer had a problem during the printing too and had 
to re-run the cover.  We're very sorry for the delay, and expect the next 
issue to be back on track.


Peaking of that. The submission deadline for the Fall issue is just a 
couple weeks away (September 1st). The Fall issue has traditionally been 
the Foal Issue and we encourage everyone to submit photos (these days it 
is often high resolution digital images) of your foals. Please identify 
the images clearly and provide ownership and breeding information for each 
foal. We always welcome photos of "What you've done with your 
Fjordlately" too. Again, please include a description of the photo 
(and any photo credit information). PLEASE check with the photographer 
(especially any professionally taken photos) and get their permission 
before you submit a photo.


And, put those finishing touches on your articles and get them submitted 
as well. I know everyone has been busy with their Fjords -- take a few 
minutes and share some of your adventrues with fellow Fjord owners.

Hi Everyone,

I think this is only my third posting in the four years that I've been on this
List, as I usually enjoy just "listening" to everyone else.  However, I got my
Fjord Herald last night and just had to mention how good it is.again
The pictures are great and the cover is especially beautiful.   Hats off to
the Editors.  There are still a couple of articles that I haven't had a chance
to read and I'm looking forward to some time this evening to sit and
thoroughly enjoy it from cover to cover.I get my share of people who think
that fjords are just "cute, little, chubby ponies" and it's so nice to have
the Herald and the NFHR website to show people pictures of fjords doing so
many wonderful things.   There's been lots of changes since I first started
with Fjords back in 1992.  :-)

Fjord Herald - Got Photos/Digital Images?

2006-06-12 Thread Starfire Farm

This message is from: Starfire Farm <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Hi all,

Do you have a digital image of you and your Fjord(s) doing some fun 
stuff? Something that you think other Fjord owners might be interested 
in seeing? Plearure, around home, family outing, on the trail, working 
on the farm/ranch, competing etc. etc.


We're pulling the summer issue of the Fjord Herald together and I've got 
an idea rattling around in my head. Several folks have sent us 
photos/images recently (THANKS!) -- not associated with an article, just 
an interesting shot of them with their Fjords. I'd like to include these 
in the Herald -- but there aren't quite enough to do a spread yet, and 
I'd like to have some more variety in the types of photos.


I'm thinking of something along the lines of a spread titled -- "What 
have you done with your Fjord, lately?".  So, if you have a picture 
you'd like us to consider, send a "thumbnail" size image (a low or 
medium resolution image) to [EMAIL PROTECTED] As always, we will be 
looking for beautiful, eye-catching shots that are in focus and have 
clean backgrounds. Be sure to send along information about the photo 
(names of people, places and Fjords!)  and the activity since the 
captions WILL be the "article" in this case.


We'll look thru them and if we pick yours to be included, we'll get back 
with you and you can Email us the full image file (high resolution, 
suitable for printing).


If we run out of time before we have to get this issue to press, we'll 
just keep working on the idea and include it in a future Herald.


If you have any questions about what we're looking for, just drop an 
Email to the same address, [EMAIL PROTECTED]


Thanks,
Sandy

Hi you two:  I'm attaching a picture of Vedas and I coming off the 
third barrel at our local Play Day last summer. I don't know if you 
could use it in the Herald or not.  I know it's not a dressage or 
driving picture, but it does show her beautiful head, and the fact 
that Fjords can gallop - fast!  I'm not sure of the size you prefer, 
but I can resize it, if wished.

I will also be submitting an article of our trip to see Pookie at the 
Kentucky Horse Park and how she came to be working there.  She's 
doing so well and we are so pleased that she worked out for 
them.  What a place!   Taking in the Rolex was a jaw dropping 
experience for us podunks from the north woods.  What incredible 
athletes those horses are!

More later.  How do you do all you do with the Herald and all?

The summer issue will be the last issue to come out prior to the 25th

This message is from: "Ursula & Brian Jensen" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

   From Brian Jensen;
 Thankyou Sandy and Beth for your latest edition of the Herald!
I feel it has again raised the standard of the quality and diversity for the
Herald. I have Herald editions going back to the mid-80's and the progress
shown has been steady and measured.
   The latest edition shows an improvement in quality of the Fjords
and the overall improvement by owners, and handlers in the disciplines of
Riding-Driving-Draft. This tells me that the NFHR is on track and so are its
committees. There is a fair amount of  Digest flack periodically from
limited  members who take exception to the direction and progress made by
the Association and its committees of volunteers. As Pat Holland had
recently mentioned in a Digest, we need ; to not forget those earlier
individuals who have contributed their time and expertise in the growth of
the NFHR--Committees---Fjord horse in North America. Members I wish to
acknowledge are Ron and Kit Davis for their hard work and contributions. In
the earlier  years as a working team, they contributed much towards the
breeding stock and the Evaluation Program we have today . Its these kind of
folks who I look up to in the Fjord breed in North America, and hold in high
esteem.
If you are interested in education or clinics --attend an NFHR
Evaluation or sponsor a Pre-Evaluation clinic in your area. If this is not
possiblelook for an experienced Fjord person to mentor you in your
growth with yourself and your Fjords. Today there are many-many qualified
fjord owners and breeders who would be willing to help and assist you in
your growth which contributes to the Advocacy and Stewardship of the Fjord
in North America .
 We have the quality Fjords. We have the quality breeders and
owners. We have the Professional trainers and teaching clinicians. We have
the Judges and Evaluators .We have  two Evaluation Record Books printed. We
have a solid Fjord Association. Everything is a work in progress, and what I
like about this Assoc.; is that members are willing to learn/educate, and
progress.
We have grown faster than any other breed in North America in
education/evaluations and performance in the last 10 years. I look forward
to the next 10 years with anticipation and optimism.

Thank you, Brian, for remembering Ron and Kit Davis.  Yes, they did 
contribute much to the breed.  I know because I own four horses that were 
produced by Davis' Valea's Lee and their various good brood mares.  I think 
the temperaments and conformation that the Davis's bred for are self evident 
our homes and in the show ring.  My horses are very dependable and 
tractable.  So much is due to their good breeding.  Ron and Kit did allot to 
promote the breed in the earlier years of the registry and at the show in 
Blue Earth.


Kit will be at the MWFHC winter meeting this week-enda good chance to

We'd love first hand accounts of the LaCrosse and Fallbrook evaluations, 
the Libby Fjord Show and any other Fjordie happenings in your area. You

Current Fjord Herald Advertisers have already heard this via an Email I sent
out this morningbut to other NFHR members and Fjord Herald subscribers --
I've got good news to share.

We're back on schedule!!!  What does this mean? You won't have to wait another
4-6 months to get your next issue of the Herald and you better hustle to get
us those articles and advertisements because the Fall issue's deadline is just
a little over three weeks away!

==
   The Fjord Herald's submission deadline
   for the Fall issue is S E P T E M B E R   1 ,  2 0 0 5 
===

More good news? Starting with the Fall issue, color 1/2 page and full page
Advertising space will be offered in every issue. The distribution of the
Herald continues to grow and is a good advertising value. The Ad rates are
listed in every issue of the Herald. For more information, to upgrade your Ad
to color, or to reserve space in the next issue, contact us at
[EMAIL PROTECTED]

I'd like to encourage all you budding writers to try your hand at writing us
about things you do with your Fjords, or events in your area. I'm sure most of
you do things that would be of interest to other Fjord enthusiasts. Some of
you, no doubt attended the Blue Earth show. I have the "official" class
placings -- but it would be great if someone would share their personal Blue
Earth experience and impressions. Was anyone there for the first time? What
about the special anniversary Norwegian Wedding ceremony? Here's another idea
-- an article about the Evaluation that is taking place this weekend ? Or


And, if you're like me, the first thing I do when you get your copy is to flip
through the entire magazine looking at all the photos. You can never have
enough Fjord horse photos!  I know that just about everyone has a digital
camera these days -- and they take nice high resolution files...so how about
sharing some of your favorite Fjord photos? The fall issue is traditionally
the Baby Fjord issue. Send us photos of this year's darlings. Please include
your name (or your farm name) along with the foal's name and the foal's dam
and sire. Don't bother to crop or alter your images-- we can "clean" them up
if needed and crop them as part of our layout process.

The files do need to be high resolution (at least 300 dpi/ppi at their final
print size) or a lab processed photo -- I'm sorry, but we cannot accept print
from your desktop inkjet printer. As far as files go, an uncompressed JPEG
file is the most common file format. TIFF formats are OK too.

We prefer to get the articles (in-line text in your mail message, text file
attachment or MS Word doc are all fine) and photos by Email. We have
high-speed internet so big files don't bother us,  but if you have a slow
internet connection you may certainly post them to us on a CD or hard copy
(include a S.A.S.E. if you want the photos returned).

Our mailing address is:
2012 Blue Mountain Ave
Berthoud, CO  80513

If you have ANY questions or ideas for articles that you'd like us to explore,
please don't hesitate to contact us.

  Do you know why they are being mailed Standard (3rd) Class rather
  than Periodical (2nd) Class? That would assure more timely delivery
  as well as cheaper postage. I am sure that as a membership
  publication of the NFHR there would be little problem in qualifying.
  Sure, there would be a few more hoops to jump through for the Post

That is being looked into right now Steve.  I have applied for an ISSN for 
the Fjord Herald & after we get that we will apply for the periodical 
rate.  The new mailing house we are using has a permit for the periodical 
rate.  Not sure how long this will take but we are pursuing the possibility 
of mailing it 2nd class or periodical rate.

And, it would mean equal access to advertisements in the Herald.  

Years ago I knew about two grey mares in Southern CA, but my contact (who
knew the owner, but did not have daily contact with them) said the owner
would have to be persuaded to sell them.  A few months later, they appeared
for sale in the Herald, for a very good price.  They were sold weeks before
I received my Herald.
