Great thread !
I am amazed at the level of education and wonderful occupations found in
Fjord owners. Not as interesting as playing in the professional music scene, or
as earthy sounding as raising sheep and dexter's.but here go's:
Jeff is a 27 yr. Firefighter / Paremedic with Orange Co. Fire Authority in
S. California. His current position is Engineer / Medic, where he gets to drive
the BIG RED TRUCK w wo ! and take care of patients too. He commutes
from S. UT where we live and today, is headed back on duty where he is looking
at maybe going out to Lake Taho, CA on a strike team to fight fire.
I am a 17 yr Psych. Nurse, specializing in the field of Medical Case
Management with youth placed in residential treatment programs. On that
lineJeff
and I are liscensed foster parents, and have taken many teenage youth into our
homes for 15 years now, several whom you might have met out and about
competing with our Fjords. I also teach CPR, FA and AED classes for the
American
Heart Asso. and a Quit Smoking course for the UT. State Health Dept. I also
did some Correctional Nursing at the UT. State Correctional Facility / Iron Co.
Jail, here in Cedar City. My degree is not in Nursing, but Police Science, so
that was fun blending the two.
I have ridden for over a year in our local Iron Co. Mounted Search and Rescue
Posse on a couple of certified S+R Fjords, but due to their strict weekly
training regime had to drop off last summer while out competing. Hope to get
back
going with that soon.
I also sing in our local Community Choir and do Handel's Messiah every year.
We currently have 24 Fjords, but Ayla is overdue to foal by 10 days
now.so our population will change any time now. ( plase ) I have sold 2
Fjords
in the last week, however, so once one is vetted and delivered and the other
gets a ride back to WI with us in the fall, we will be down a bit. One other
mare is here for breeding to Leidjo, who is living here but owned by Unrau's at
Anvil's Acres. So, a very revolving population ! With some new arrivals here
for usits getting pretty exciting, along with alot of work. Last year was
a show year for usso we are enjoying staying home for the most part,
having Fjord babies, training youngsters and finishing others that need a new
job
and new homes !
In all my spare time ( cough ) I dabble in some artwork that I sell in a few
local gallerys here and down in Springdale near Zion National Park, and in
St. George.
Jeff lives to fly fish and we both like ATVing on the great mountian trails
near us. We have a teenage son, Cody, who just completed an EMT course and is
looking to attend college here at SUU, in the fall.
Ok, Im tired now. Off to check Ayla, who is eating, pooping,
eating,pooping.W !
