Merek
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I don't know what to do, but would like to help out a friend. As you know, Merek lost his beloved horse, Lars recently. He's bereft. And is really wanting the support of the fjord community, and wants to buy another pony. He's sent emails that have gone unanswered to try to get reinstated. I sent an email to you Cynthia, and I don't know if you got it or not. I never got an answer either. In the meantime, Merek is going through this time of crisis without the support that I know he could use from the wonderful members of this list. Is there anybody who can tell me what Merek needs to do to get signed up again here? I'll be happy to relay the information on to him. Thanks! Pamela Northern Holiday Horses

This message is from: "Reena Giola" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Pamela Thank you for sharing that message with us. I remember when I was first getting into fjords and I found a webpage with Lars and Merek on it.don t remember who's it was, but I so enjoy seeing them together. Please pass on to Merek, my condolences on the passing of Lars. Reena and Gusser's "Lars died tonight at 10PM of a mysterious illness that started earlier today and seemed to improve after the vet gave him various supportive drugs in the afternoon. Around 8PM he suddendly took a turn for the worse, and I went out to meet the vet there. Within an hour it had gone so bad that he was down and convulsing and unable to rise, and I had to have him terminated. Please forward this to the list, as I have not rejoined it. Don't know if I will look for a replacement eventually, but will check with the list if I do decide to. Merek"" Pamela Northern Holiday Horses

This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Remember Merek, with his wonderful fjordhorse Lars? The one who went to parties and all sorts of wonderful places? I received the following email from him, and am so sad. He was a special horse. I know Merek would appreciate a bit of moral support about now.

Dear Merek, Dear Merek
This message is from: Joel Harman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> This is from Joel Harman. I log & farm with my horses. They are not my pets. PMU ranchers have horses that are not their pets -they are their livelihoods. I am very happy that some consider their horses pets. Yrs. ago a woman would not sell me a fat, lazy, spoiled gelding because she was afraid I would work it. Her name is irrelevant. That was her opinion. I respected it but did not agree with it. I get REAL TIRED of folks bashing farmers & ranchers. They don't tell you how to make a buck, don't tell us how to make a buck Joel Harman Brass Ring Ranch Mosier OR where fjords work for their feed
Merek - Foot and Mouth Disease in UK
This message is from: "Dave 2001" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Dear Merek, Firstly, I would like to thank you for your concern as to the welfare of the UK's Norwegian Fjord horse population following reports of the outbreak of Foot and Mouth Disease in our country. As you should know by now, horses are NOT affected by this virus so no horses in the UK (or anywhere else) will be shot by anyone! However, this matter is a very serious one indeed as there are now fifteen confirmed cases in England and one in Wales. So far, the virus has not reached Scotland or Ireland, and we are praying that it doesn't! I can reassure you that everyone involved with the countryside is trying to ensure that this terrible disease is brought to a halt in the areas that are affected. Nobody wants this situation to worsen as not only will thousands of pigs, cows, sheep, goats etc be slaughtered and their carcasses burned, but many farmers and other businesses linked to farming will be financially ruined. There is now a restriction in place throughout the UK regarding the movement of animals (including horses) until 16th March, 2001. Let us hope that this course of action helps bring about the end of this terrible virus - if not, we are in trouble deep! With good wishes, David Stewart FHRS President

This message is from: Mike & Casey Rogillio <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> on a bb that I lurk at. I kept quiet, wondering how long it would take for the breed to be identified, only about 5-6 posts and Fjord was nailed. No one ever acknowledged any names, the original poster didn't remember where she'd gotten it from. And now, after much silence, you post here! A Baader-Meinhof moment as described by Pioneer Planet if ever I saw one! RE the saddles, PLEASE, share it with all of us!! I'm having a hard time convincing my husband that the saddle that was custom built for Tyr doesn't fit him any longer, leaves huge dry spots on either side of his withers. I'm going to try some 'wither shims' but if they don't work, the saddle has to go, so I'm also very interested in the types of saddles that people have had good luck with - I ride Western so if anyone has any specific input in that area I'd be thrilled. Unfortunately I also don't have much over $600 to spend on a saddle, hence needing to not buy saddle after saddle to discover they don't fit worth a fig. Tyr would appear to me to be a drafty type fjord, very modest withers and short backed. Any help from anyone would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Regards From Merek Geiger
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I think the picture makes Lars look a bit darker than actual, but he is a fairly deep beige normally, not a lighter yellow. He is also quite recognized by the public on Long Island. Tens of thousands of the locals have seen him at various functions, and remember him when he appears at other events. The children all know his name at the parades year to year. I know for a fact that no less than four factions at or connected to the stable crowd are waiting for me to check out so they can haggle over who gets him for pony party business. He has his reasons for looking that way, as the most readily recognized horse on the Island. Merek
