You often do not put in the "F", so as a good Canadian I often look and think "hey, close to the temp here in Ontario, why is she getting the snow and we arent"... the penny dropped this evening (maybe I'm just tired)... "F" vs. "C" ... ok, now I get it... *grin* Hoping for our turn at some snow.. they're calling for it wet this evening but it won't last. Yet. ... Gwenn
Mixing Jeans...ooops!
This message is from: I Ivic <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Oooops...sorry. Mixing of "Jeans"! My mistake. Yes, I remember you mentioning growing up in this area. It's changed quite alot over the past few years we've lived here. Most of the "feed and horsey-related" type of businesses have gone out of businesssigh! If I need bedding (shavings) or feed, they have to be delivered from miles & miles away. New developments all over the place. Getting so crowded and urbanized. Time to move further out...But then, how far from work?

Re: God Jul and Jeans Book

Re: Nightclothes VS Jeans ? ; (
This message is from: "Julie Will" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I was joking! No offense intended, Lisa. But you are right...might be a fun class!! The point is, it isn't a serious issue. Each show committee can choose what they want. Safety IS important, but not jeans vs pants, chaps, etc. We all want to enjoy ourselves, our horses, and encourage others to join the fun. We leave for Norway tomorrow, and I'll post a report when I get back next week. Enjoy the spring weather, everyone.

The good folks of Blue Earth Mn. have struggled with this issue, of keeping their show FRIENDLY and without requiring alot of expensive trappings to their country farm type Fjord show. I remember a few years ago, the subject of men wearing " aprons " ( lap robes ) in formal driving classes was the hot topic of the meeting, and last year, some kids still wore tennis shoes and no helmets in kids classes. There is always room for safety concerns and I would encourage the clubs at large to buy a couple of kid sz. helmets to go on the bitty ones, and encourage boots of course. BUT, the NO JEANS and requiring of CHAPS seems like adornment issues and without a reason to make a rule of it. Just my humble opinion of course. Lisa Pedersen, Cedar City UT. windy and 84* today. PS I personally aprove of the " must carry a whip " rule.as a normal safety issue, but Im also sure that there are a few who have not learned to always have a whip in hand OR have horses that have not learned to take cues from a whip. Seems that it, in itself ,could pose a safety risk to RERQUIRE people to do so, without prior notice. LP

Gene just about went through the ceiling when he read that one. Which is correct; a one hundred dollar pair of new designer jeans or a 25 cent pair of 30-year old polyester "slacks" from Good Will? The first a natural fiber, the second a synthetic pollutant!! This could be regarded as a prejudicial slam against country folk! the heart of America, the home of the Fjord! well, what more can I say... (I'll think of something =) You know you can slide right out of the saddle in those danged "plastic" pants! They should outlaw them. Ruthie, nw mt (where else)

Now here's a novel idea that'll make you chuckle. If the truth be known, I HATE jeans. They are really uncomfortable as far as I'm concerned. They don't 'give' enough to suit me and they cause a great deal of INJURY to the inside of my knees. Seems like the seams are always right there rubbing unless I wear nylons underneath. You should've seen my legs after the EXPO - rubbed raw and bruised! Maybe if my legs were a bit longer, that wouldn't happen?? Since I haven't been able to locate any 'organ donors' to will their long legs to me, my alternative choice is SWEAT PANTS. COMFY, but doesn't exactly put me on the top of the 10 BEST DRESSED list!

This message is from: "Jon A. Ofjord" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Thanks Jeans (Gayle & Ernest) You gals made my day. I actually got out and did a little work around the barn. You know, sticking to what I know. There were many piles the gang had left laying around. Cut a few manes. It was actually quite nice in the sun with no wind. You are right Jean, in Fairbanks, about it getting to -20 and feeling warm. We had that up here the first winter we moved up, and it was below zero for over a month straight. When the temps got up to around zero, we were out in our T-shirts! And to Jean in Aberdeen, WA; I'd rather have it sunny and cold, than always rainy and dreary. I know what that coast cold can be like, very damp and bone chilling. I guess I don't have it so bad after all. :) Not so crabby Mary O. in Northern Minnesota
