Letter to the US Post Office
This message is from: pedfjo...@aol.com In light of recent complaints regarding torn and muffed up Fjord Heralds, I decided to take action and wrote the following letter. Dear Postmaster, Regarding the condition of our beloved Fjord Herald, I am writing to you in a desperate attempt to rectify this unacceptable situation. The fact that apparently even you're most seasoned delivery carriers are taking it home to read before arriving at its destinations is a gross scar on the normally excellent service you have trained us to expect. Creases, little frays of the edges and ripped covers are not the entire problem, although very un-professional in my opinion. Jelly and peanut butter smears on the photos of the Fjordscoffee stains ( suggesting to me ADULT participation as well ) on the ads for carriages and ( oh horror ) crumpled back cover, is aproaching criminal. I have even heard of dog hair, crayon creatures being drawn next to beautiful photos and X-mas lists scribbled on empty spaces listing grey dun, filly, english saddle, bridle and a pink pad with matching leggins' . Well. It should not be too difficult to assume that some poor pony starved child needs more adult supervision. Like you're carriers, we wait anxiously for each issue. Dispite the fact that some of the writers do not even one time, include the real ( registered ) names of the Fjord pony they are writing about.. OR maybe one teeeny mention of their bloodlines, forcing us to run to our computers and look it all up, it is an important moment when we sit down on the ground at our mailbox's or stretch out on the floor inside the Post Office, to scan the latest in accomplishments from our talented membership. I might even offer that recieving the latest issue of the Fjord Herald equals recieving our tax refund, ( or IOU if you live in CA. ) Publishers Clearing House notification of winning a subscription and ( GASP ) offer from a Credit card company that you may qualify for a 50,000 credit line at 22 %. We are outraged and will not stand for any more disrespect of our official magizine. Please ask ALL you're carriers to contact Mike May, or visit the NFHR webpage to offer a list of breeders and ponies for sale, and direct you're carriers to go get their own Fjord. I noticed also, that you again raised our rates for first class stamps. All of my own bills were returned to me for lack of .2, my bad of course. However.please take this as an official notice that our Heralds must be sent across the country, sit in huge bins of assorted E-Bay auction packages, be rifled through by the DEA Drug puppies, thrown into airplanes and transported 1,000's of miles, only to be tossed around into more bins, thrown into stinky old delivery trucks and hand delivered to our own homes. They should arrive in the pristine condition that we all expect. It has been noticed as well, that my QH based magazine arrives unread. Interesting. Yes, we expect alot. We are Fjord people.

Hello! INTRO letter
This message is from: Elizabeth Ross-McKee [EMAIL PROTECTED] HI! My name is Elizabeth and I live in Deer Lodge, Montana USA with my husband (a non horse person), our housedog Carlos, feral cat SawMill Sally and our Orange Boy Cat that we call Sigurd. We welcomed our newest member a 4 year old rescue horse (percheron/tbred?/quarterhorse? cross) Trinity to the menagerie just recently, in fact she arrives on September 1. I found HER when I was scouring the countryside for an older, sensible mare preferably a Fjord, she needed a home so she'll be a good pasture mate for the Fjord that I SHALL find in the next year! I met a lady from Cove, OR over a year ago through eBay. She raises Fjords and has convinced me that this sweet eyed little draft is the only horse for me. So I have been really wanting a horse again after 25 years of living in town without them. I have been scared to my teeth to start riding again as I have a spinal injury and some other health problems that have housebound me for years. Well it's now or never and everyone says a draft or draft cross makes a good companion as well as a darn sturdy riding horse. So ... ok. It's back to being the 'horses' mamma' again after all these years. Finally, at age OMG 50, my husband and I bought a little farmhouse that we call Spruce Acre as Green Acres was taken... get my drift LOL!!.. it's old and cute and not at all pretentious or fancy. The BEST part is the old tin house we are rennovating into a heated one horse barn/hay/tack storage, the fenced paddock and the large double lot that has a NICE grassed in horse lot and we will fence the rest for another smallish pasture. We just have to find a decent large grazing/running pasture close by for the rescue horse and eventually her pasture mate Fjord I intend to acquire this next year. So there you have it. Im no spring chicken, was raised chasing cows, rodeo and later I even evented for a while. I wish i remembered dressage as it will come so much in handy training this new horse so I will probably be back in 'school' soon with the new mare. I am a jewelry designer, eBay powerseller and house gnome. Kids are grown and live in CA and GA - a software designer and an attorney. My husband operates kilns at the nearby sawmill. I am starting my MA in January. We're pretty quiet folks these days so I am looking to spice up our lives with some equines of the draft size. I am always open for a chat, advice on draft horse ownership, where on EARTH to find a saddle broke fjord that is not a baby (i'd take a retired skidder horse...) and any equine info for Montana. I am learning through the state website that horses here are bug candy in a HUGE way. I've seen horrible parasites in our neighbor's animals and they take pretty good care of them too! We are at the foot of the Pintler mountains on one side of the valley adn the Divide range on the other. Sub alpine semi desert area. Yup hotter than the Hinges of Hades in the summer and Artic winters. See why I'm after a Fjord? cold weather horses suffer far less here than their hot blooded cousins! What I need.. a used fencer a wide tree saddle. is there such a thing as a hybrid English/Australian style and Western cross?LOL!! The rescue horse is only 15h1 but is only 4... and she's gonna be BROAD when filled out in a few years. assorted tack - it's been 25 years since I had horses! the only thing i have is a saddle in need of some TLC and LOTS of saddle soaping (a recent gift), my 4-H Spurs from 1969 (no kidding) and some large snaffles. a horse trailer! (next year's budget thank you very much until then it's the neighbor's) and in a year. a sensible older Fjord mare that needs a good home and would like to be a companion and go for a few rides a week and might even be asked to pull a sleigh once in a while in the winter and a little cart up into the mountains so we can take the house dog out for a picnic unless teh bears continue to be an issue in which case we'll just stay in the valley and trot down the old stage coach roads!

Letter from Senator Levin (Michigan) Concerning NAIS
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] This is a letter I received today from one of our Michigan senators concerning NAIS. Looks like all of us have more work to do! Lynda Dear Ms. Welch: Thank you for contacting me regarding the National Animal Identification System (NAIS). I appreciate hearing your views on this issue. The NAIS is a national program currently being implemented by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) that is intended to help identify and track animals in order to facilitate a rapid response in the event of a disease outbreak. Various identification systems are already used to track these animals, but those systems are not consistent throughout the country, making the tracking of animals across state lines especially difficult. The goal of the NAIS is to enhance efforts to respond to disease outbreaks, making it possible to identify all places and animals that have potentially been exposed to a disease within 48 hours of its discovery. Many small farmers are concerned about the cost of implementing the NAIS and would prefer to continue under the current voluntary identification systems. The USDA worked in close cooperation with farmers, ranchers, and industry partners to develop the NAIS and the cost of implementing this program will be shared. On April 6, 2006, the USDA announced an updated plan for the implementation of the NAIS and set 2009 as the goal for full producer participation. The USDAâs Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service has already provided states and tribes with $27 million in grants to help with the implementation of this program. I will continue to monitor this issue. Thank you again for writing. Sincerely, Carl Levin

This message is from: Ruth Bushnell [EMAIL PROTECTED] Yesterday we watched the new NFHR Fjord video and received our copy of the Herald, both in the same day ! We had recorded the program on Tivo from RFD, but will make no permanent copy-- -will buy one (or more) from the NFHR ...which every Fjord loving person must do, in their support. It is lovely and I felt like jumping up and buying a Fjord when it was over! (seriously) There's some real beauties on there---some I recognized (some related). It was gratifying to see all styles of Fjords and all disciplines too.. even farm implements! Bravo. I recall that when we first came into Fjords there were more photos of farmish Fjords about.. we just love seeing them! Much thanks and appreciation to the many who played a role in bringing this video to production-- it's wonderful! The Herald is too.. excellent quality and I loved the front page color!

Re: TEETH TESTICLES - Letter to NFHR
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Arthur Rivoire) From Carol Arthur Rivoire at Beaver Dam Farm in Nova Scotia - This discussion started out a couple of weeks ago when I made a statement to the effect that the NFHR requires ALL stallions used for breeding to have on file with the NFHR a veterinarian signed certificate saying the stallion has a correct bite and that he has properly formed testicles, and is not a monorchid. I was certain this was true as I remembered filing this report for our BDF stallions. However, I was wrong. The NFHR does not have such a rule. What it does have is a half baked rule that says - If the stallion's owner wants his horse to be listed in the Stallion Issue of the Fjord Herald, then he has to file this veterinary certificate. The NFHR also requires this certificate in order for a stallion to participate in an Evaluation. The NFHR says that its mandate is to PROTECT THE GENETIC PURITY OF THE NORWEGIAN FJORD HORSE. I'd like to see them prove that by amending the already existing rule. Registering stallions that have improper bites and monorchidism is a miserable derelection of duty, and this policy should be changed. No stallion with parrot mouth (overbite), or with an underbite, should be allowed NFHR registration. No stallion with an undescended testicle should be allowed NFHR registration. In case anybody doesn't know why, let me tell you the reasons these two HIGHLY INHERITED conditions are guarded against by responsible horsemen. OVERBITE/UNDERBITE - The horse is a grazing animal. He uses his front teeth to grasp the blades of grass and break them off. -- They MUST MEET! Close is not good enough! With teeth in either of these conditions, he cannot graze efficiently. Horses are meant to be on grass. Will we breed horses that can't sustain themselves on grass? The question is that if we truly love the horses in our care, why would we willingly allow them to live what must be considered an unnatural life ? MONORCHID - A stallion with only one testicle descended can breed allright. --- The big problem with a monorchid stallion is that he passes on this tendency to his sons, either as monorchid or cryptorchid (both testicles in abdomen) He, no doubt, passes on the tendencey through his daughters as well. --- Think about it - Most of those sons are destined to be geldings. Castrating a monorchid stallion is MUCH MORE SERIOUS than a stallion with normal testicles. The castration of the monorchid often involves abdominal surgery. This has to be done at a clinic, and is MUCH MORE EXPENSIVE than a normal castration. Not only expensive, but significantly MORE DANGEROUS for the horse, and no doubt more painful for the horses we all profess to love. The cryptorchid can't breed, but continues to produce testosterone making him a totally useless, troublesome horse, and as such is likely to live a miserable life. These reasons are good enough for the Registry in Norway. They are good enough for the Registry in Holland. WHY ARE THEY NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR THE NFHR? During the discussion of this subject, I suffered ridicule and attack from several sources on the Digest. Believe me, it hurt! So much so that I almost dropped this crusade . . . And crusade, I guess it is, unfortunately. However, as much as I'd like to avoid more character flaming, I can't. What I'm doing is right for the breed, and I'm determined to do all in my power to see that the NFHR amends their rule in order that - NO FJORD STALLION POSSESSING THESE EXTREMELY SERIOUS INHERITABLE FAULTS WILL BE ALLOWED TO BREED. This is the rule on our farm. We once had a beautiful colt that had a slight overbite (just slight). But it was enough for us. He was gelded. There have been all kinds of reasons given why the NFHR can't uphold this ruling. - I DON'T BELIEVE ANY OF THEM ARE VALID! Not only CAN they do it, they MUST do it, in order to fulfill their stated mandate of PROTECTING THE GENETIC PURITY AND WELL-BEING OF THE BREED. What I'm proposing is . . . . . SIMPLE, BASIC, INEXPENSIVE, EASY TO IMPLEMENT VERIFY! Here it is - * Fjord stallions cannot receive full NFHR registration until 18 months of age. At that time, all the normal registration requirements must be submitted along with a vet certificate saying the stallion has proper teeth testicles. * Before 18 months, the stallion could receive something like a recorded status allowing him to be shown at Fjord shows. * If all his paperwork is in order, the stallion becomes registered at 18 months in time to breed mares that year. * Because someone said that teeth change, I suggest that vet certification as to proper teeth be a yearly requirement until 4 or 5 years, or whatever age this type of change no longer shows up. This Simple, Basic, Inexpensive, Easily Implemented Verifiable rule would

This message is from: Mike May [EMAIL PROTECTED] === Showing Chain Letter == Are you experiencing too many reserves and lower place finishes due to inferior performing animals in the show ring? Does your horse forget his own name in the arena? Well, this simple chain letter is meant to bring relief and happiness to you. Unlike most chain letters, it doesn't cost money. Simply send a copy to six other horse owners who are dissatisfied with way their horses are working and showing. Also bundle up your horse and send him/her to the horse owner at the top of this list, and add your name to the bottom of the list. Do not use a return address or the post office may try to contact you. In one week, you will receive 16,436 horses, and one of them should be a real dandy. Have faith in this letter. Do not break the chain. One owner broke the chain and got his own horse back.

She thought the matter over seriously, bit her lead rope and did that obnoxious pawing thing with her front hoof that she does when she's bored. That was it. My girls are so special, and I am so lucky. I have noticed that Riba is more upheaded, which is more striking looking, and Ida's neck is set lower, but she seems more athletic. Is that usual?

Norwegian Dept of Ag letter short forelocks
This message is from: Evers [EMAIL PROTECTED] I have recently been sent an old letter from the Norwegian department of Agriculture (I think) to someone by the name of Nona Forrester. Lynda, I would love to see a copy of the letter. We got our first two Fjords from Nona, Ellinor is now 23 and in foal to our stallion, and we have just recently sold her 3 yr old daughter, Islys. BTW... Both of these mares have short fuzzy forelocks that look more like they belong on weanling foals! It comes from Ellinor's side of the family ( she was imported as a three yr old by Harold J. ) because Islys' sire Sleipner has a very long and thick forelock.

Griet's letter
This message is from: Bushnell's [EMAIL PROTECTED] Griet, you wrote a lovely letter and I agree with you wholeheartedly; horses remember mistreatment, but thank goodness they remember every little kindness given them as well, responding accordingly.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] Mike, Thanks for publishing the letter on the list. Combining the two registries was one of the topics of our discussion on our way home from Libby. There is another registry out there (sorry, I don't know the official name) which, I believe, registers the smallest number of fjord horses in North America. It would be nice if all of the registries were combined, to serve a greater number of people. Any talk along those lines, Mike? Whatever the issues were, let bygones be bygones (unless the issue is improper or incomplete record keeping?) The other registry is the FBA or Fjord Breeders of America. We have not had any conversations about merging with them at this time. But you never know. One at a time though please. I think this is going to be a fair size job as it is.

The NFA/NFHR letter
This message is from: Mike May [EMAIL PROTECTED] December 15, 1998 To: Membership of the Norwegian Fjord Association of North America and the Norwegian Fjord Horse Registry. It is the intent of the Board of Directors of the Norwegian Fjord Association of North America and the Norwegian Fjord Horse Registry to bring together their respective organizations under one representative entity. Every consideration will be given to ensure that the integrity of the Rules and Regulations, By-laws, and Registration and Membership requirements of each group will be maintained when redefining the revised organizational structure. Both registries have a history of preserving and, whenever possible, improving the finest pure bloodlines in this country. Their dedication of service to the membership, the breed, and the international Fjord community has been exemplary. A combined initiative can only enhance these efforts. The Registry and the Association already have a reciprocal agreement regarding transfers and registrations. It is anticipated that a considerable amount of duplicity in management and expense will be eliminated and that an increased sense of representation, leadership and overall stature in the equine world will prevail as a result of this commitment. Sincerely John Akins, Executive Director Norwegian Fjord Association of North America Storrs Bishop, President Norwegian Fjord Horse Registry

Brian's letter
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi, my name is Jane Sawyer and I live in NC. I have been quietly reading the list for several months and feel like I know some of you already. I have 12 Fjords and enjoy reading advice from others. I especially enjoyed Brian Jacobsen's letter about the history of Dragtind and his son Leif. Leif is truly a beautiful stallion and produces fine looking offspring. Brian was lucky to be included in so many of his grandfather's (Harold Jacobsen) buying trips. Harold certainly was an important figure in the early days of Fjord's coming to the US. Thanks Brian for the good letters. Jane Sawyer
Roger's letter
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I think it's a wonderful idea to post the upcoming agendas for the BOD, before they meet (call). I believe that you will receive more feedback on issues than you did before. I can say myself I've meant to send comments and ideas to the BOD, and just haven't gotten it done. I do agree though if a person has a proposal it should be sent in written, or if suggested in the digest later forward in writing.
Letter of 9/22-Carol
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hello Carol, Trying to digest your long dissertation, and want you to know that I strongly disagree with what you said regarding the other accredited judges. At least two of the judges, would be qualified to judge any of my horses at an Evaluation!!! You should know of each ones background before you make a statement such as that. Many good thoughts included, but lets not be hasty in making too many changes- the entire membership should have the chance for a say, not just those lucky enough to have access to computers. Regards, Bernadine Karns, in Michigan ( a former BOD)
Horse Chain Letter
This message is from: Cynthia_Madden/OAA/UNO/[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent to me by a non-Fjord horse friend, but good for a laugh anyway! Horse Chain Letter Are you experiencing too many reserves and lower place finished due to inferior performing animals in the show ring? Does your horse forget his own name in the arena? Well, this simple chain letter is meant to bring relief and happiness to you. Unlike most chain letters, it doesn't cost money. Simply send a copy to six other horse owners who are dissatisfied with the way their horses are working and showing. Also bundle up your horse and send him/her to the horse owner at the top of this list,and add your name to the bottom of the list. Do not use a return address or the post office may try to contact you. In one week, you will receive 16,436 horses, and one of them should be a real dandy. Have faith in this letter. Do not break the chain. One owner broke the chain and got his own horse back. Cynthia Madden, Coordinator Office of Sponsored Programs Research University of Nebraska at Omaha
