Lead Balloon
This message is from: "lassesen" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Joel, Must mean that if the comment was a "lead balloon" on the Oregon Fjord List, that no one on the list was interested in going to the State Fair with their Fjord. For promotions and for publicity...It would be great to have classes for Fjord only at the State Fair, but I for one would not be able to attend... Would you attend and participate with your barn full of Fjords? In order to make it worth the Fair's time to put a class or two in their program, we need to be sure the Fjords will be there and participate fully. It is much better to not ask until we have enough people to make a good showing. In the meanwhile, there are OPEN breed classes that a person can participate in at the State Fair. The Claussen's have attended and drove their gelding in many driving classes. I believe they actually won overall driving horse many times. I am not up on the State Horse Showing activity. It is not where my interest are. So there... your comment is on longer a "lead balloon"... you received a reply. Heck, there are many times in email conversations that a comment will go with out replies... it is part of the system. Do say hello to Wanda, let her know that I am working on the script for the EXPO. I had asked the Oregon List to get back to me if they want anything new on the script about their farms... I did not get a reply from anyone... I did not think it to be a lead balloon... just that people were busy... Do mention it to her and have her email back her reply when she can. Deadline is the end of this month without the $30.00 penalty. - Thanks Catherine Lassesen Hestehaven - The Horse Garden Home of Norwegian Fjord Horses Fjord Calendar available with each month being a different photo. www.cafepress.com/fjordsusa

This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] As in "sick her, Rover, That went over like a lead balloon." >From private replies I know 2 or 3 don't delete my posts, so... There are people that own horses & there are horseman(persons for the PC bunch). Sad, but true, fjords are s cute So, they attract people that own horses. The people that own horses do something REALLY stupid in public with their fjords so they(the fjords) get a bad rap in the equine world. (Is this like deja vu all over again?) And, the horseman in the equine world decide all fjords are fat, pigheaded idiots. Never mind the human beings. -- News flash! fjords are not your pet dog! they are equines & still do stupid things. If you don't know what you are doing find someone who does before you ruin your fjord. When you ruin your fjord you ruin the breed. THINK! If you do ruin your fjord don't sell it to someone that knows less than you. One either pays for training up front or it is backloaded. Much easier to front load it. Better for the equine, & the breed. cordially Joel Harman Brass Ring Ranchfarming & logging with fjords Mosier Oregon Surf the web up to FIVE TIMES FASTER!
