This message is from: "Kelly & Susan Hoem" This information was on another list. there are pictures in the draft horse section of horse progress days and in the driving section I seen that the villa classic that some of you have just recently written about was also there. Thought this might be of interest to some of you. Many of you know or know of Bob Mischka, a horseman turned profession photographer. Bob took the cover photo on the new issue of The Draft Horse Journal. In reading about the cover photo, the story mentions that you can go to -http://www.mischkapics.com/ to see more of Bob's photos.

Re: tips on taking pictures inside an arena?
This message is from: "Reena Giola" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> your best bet is to buy a lens with the fastest f/stop you can get. of course that is mega bucks!! ISO SPEED FASTER SHUTTER BIGGER FLASH (like Steve suggested in a later post) Faster Lens closer to the person being photographed all lights on that is really about all you can do! Reena Increase the film speed. Choose a faster ISO (ASA) setting in your digital camera or buy faster film if you are using a film camera. You may need to go to ISO 800 or even 1600. ISO 200 or 400 will be way too slow for low-light action pictures. Get more light into your camera by opening up the lens aperture. Do this by setting the f-stop to a smaller number. For example, if you are using f-11, try a setting of f-5 or lower. Increase the lighting in the environment. Turn on all of the arena lights. Add extra lights for a planned photo shoot. Choose a time of day when natural sunlight is coming into the arena as much as possible. Use a separate handheld flash. I bet Laurie With has some even better ideas.

Winona - stallions and numbers per pictures and more
This message is from: "Pat Holland" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Dear List, I finally returned home from the Winona event - physically Sunday evening the 22nd. Mentally I really don't know where I am. Having left directly from Winona to take Hostar to his home with Melinda Springs in Bellevue Idaho. First and foremost I need to thank my committee of The Stallion Review - Rich and Nancy Hotovy, Mike and Susie Sadlon, Tyler and Dawn Schlickman, Bob Gudknecht and my husband Gary - for their unconditional support and outstanding horsemanship. It's the work behind the scenes that seems to go unnoticed, manly because it was so well organized, and the stallion parade and review went on without a flaw. The above mentioned people many times (through out the entire event - not just the stallion review) flew into "save" mode without recognition and utilized their innate horse sense to prevent mishaps. These are TRUE horsepeople and thankfully my friends. This "group" are the Blue Earth people - the people who are always ALWAYS there for you with heart and give of their time without glory. I also need to apologize to all of you whom trusted me with the stallion row event, that your presentations were not fully felt due to the poor sound system in place Thursday evening. You could only hear the music and scripts if you were in the barns or the bathrooms. After working on this event for 14 months I know all the work and time and effort you all put into your final presentations, and I was greatly disappointed that those watching could not hear what each of you wanted to convey. OK...on to the positives: As far as numbers on the stallions to know whom is whom. #415 is Hostar. He received his blue in conformation and he received a great deal of recognition by the foreign dignitaries as they were greatly impressed by his condition and health. It was a proud moment when the Norwegian Dignitary deemed Hostar the best stallion amounts the stallions presented in the NFHR Evaluation. Although not "official" - considering the Mother Country considered a Dutch stallion standing in North America the best, added a very interesting factor to the mix. #449 is Wood's Sven. A five year old stallion my husband and I purchased 3 months before Winona. We utilized what the NFHR Evaluation was designed for to tell us if this boy should stay intact and he did receive his Silver Medallion of Quality - of which both my husband and myself were very happy with. The star however at the event, in my humble opinion was SF ARVE, owned by and presented by Shiloh Simino and her husband Chris. Arve is a son of Hostar and just go look at picture #13 in the Stallion #3 section of Laurie's pictures..Shiloh drove out from New Hampshire to present with Hostar and he is absolutely one of the BEST Fjords, with the best owners I've ever known. Arve ended up with the Driving Championship and was high scored NFHR conformation gelding in the evaluation. Shiloh and Chris stayed at my place before and after the event and simply put - great - great people, what I feel make up the general membership of the NFHR. Honest, sincere and with a great love of their horse. One of the greastest memories I will have of the Winona show - is this: Nathan, Pat Wolfe's nephew was sitting on Prydarson and I was right next to him - sitting on Hostar waiting to go into the English Pleasure class - side by side we were - and a lady pushing a baby carriage came right between and thru us...with baby..both horses just sorta looked and sighed..what great horses. I need to thank two other people as well -Nancy Barmore and Kathy Monroe, who allowed me to house Hostar Sunday and Monday at their farm near Winona. Due to the ventilation problem at the Winona facility, Hostar began bleeding out the nose Saturday afternoon due to the ammonia in the barns. The Veterinarian confirmed this and he needed to be in fresh air, plus meds. I was greatly concerned because he them had to travel for 3 days - Hostar did arrive in Idaho healthy, and I am very grateful to Kathy and Nancy for their hospitality, care and concern - not only for Hostar but to myself as well. Lastly I have to thank Catherine Lassesen for her great skill in transporting Hostar, Melinda and myself to Bellevue, Idaho. Catherine is also a great horseperson with innate sense and care and concern for our animals. It was a privilege to spend the time I did with her and thank you - thank you Catherine, you know where my heart was left at and I sincerely appreciate how much of yours you gave to me. Hostar is home now.Melinda lives in one of the most beautiful areas in the country, with some of the best horse facilities in her area (Debbie McDonald trains near by). He will stand shipped cooled and frozen and I highly suggest breeding
Virginia Fjord "Fjestival" Pictures and DVD
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Genie's request for pictures of sale horses came at a timely moment. The Fjord "Fjestival" is really an exposure event. Horses do sell as result of being seen at the "Fjestival" but that occurs in the weeks and months that follow. I suppose someone could come with their trailer, but I think that is unlikely to occur. That being said, my better half, Tom Snyder is a good amateur photographer. Tom will take pictures of ALL the horses at the Fjestival and shoot video of performances. That way we can create a DVD and send it to anyone who is interested. Mind you, it's not going to be flashy, but it should be serviceable. Send me an e-mail if you want a DVD and I'll get one out to you next week. Genie is already on my list! Now I am off to the barn for cleaning. This event is like having company for Thanksgiving. We had great coverage in the Fauquier Times Democrat, which is the local paper with a strong horse orientation. So we are expecting plenty of visitors on Sunday. Margaret A.

Re: Frodo pictures
This message is from: Jean Ernest <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Well, Bjorken, now 18, still reminds me of a little boy. I have had him all his life and even though he is the biggest fjord I have (15-2) he is the low ranking member of my little herd. Old Bjarne, who HAS seen it all, rules the roost, Stella, 28, is the "Grand dam" but Adel, now 11 I think, is the newest member..she has a dominant personality, but Stella chases her around. Adel buddied up with "The old man", Bjarne, and can chase my "baby" Bjorken around..He is afraid to come over to the hay, or to me, unless Mom is there to chase Adel . Soo funny!

This message is from: Paula Chmura <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Somehow I think of Frodo as "the old man" because he has this old, wise look in his eye (he is in actuallity only 17). He has been through a lot in his lifetime (he had four owners in the previous two years before I bought him for instance) and he just seems to be the kind of horse that has seen it all. And I do have a mare that is still a very spry thirty-five who I call the grand dam (not a Fjord). Frodo's registered name is Julevan and while he is not in the database I do have his papers. He was bred by Gene Bauer and is by Gjestarson out of Severina. My new foal is out of a mare by Gjestarson out of a full sister to Severina. So while not full siblings, they are closely related. I still tell Frodo he's an uncle ;) <>

Pictures of Southern Pines CDE
This message is from: vivian creigh <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hi Listers I have put some of the pics from Southern Pines on a homepage. If any one is interested and can access the page and run the slide show please let me know as the last time I tried this it didn't work. The address is: http://homepage.mac.com/rainbowend/PhotoAlbum1.html. If you receive an error and there is homepage on the upper bar click on that to see if it works or cut and paste address to your browser. The ponies are going great in dressage and cones but Nanja still needs to be more forward and braver in the more testing hazards. She is great in the more straight forward hazards and good ol' Nordy just gets the job done although gets somewhat fed up with Nanja sucking back when she needs her help the most. However as a pair they are so together in dressage that I remain confident about my two year plan to get them winning consistently at advanced. Mira is enjoying some time off from serious competition and is teaching Uma the ins and outs of pair driving. Also a note to you mare owners Marnix who is a Model/Prestatie stallion in the Dutch studbook and who had four very successful years competing in Combined and Pleasure driving as well as ridden dressage is waiting for some some nice mares to breed. He has a lovely demeanor and is loved by all who know him. Except for some low level local events I am taking a break from serious competition to enjoy seeing my youngest graduate from high school and then have my knees scoped and cleaned up so I'll be in good shape for the fall season which begins with the Laurels first weekend of Sept.

Re: hoof pictures
This message is from: Jean Ernest <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> My white dun mare Stella II and her granddaughter, Anvil's Adel, (also white or "yellow") both have well shaped hooves, Adel does not flare, gets a very cupped sole, Stella also gets a concave sole but will flare as it grows. Big Bjorken (Stella X Anvil's Rikolv)is 15-2hh, has flatter feet, which would probably be even flatter if he was not shod. He tends to have a flatter sole, was rather tender on grevel without shoes. His hind feet, however have a concave sole. He is shod with lightweight titanium shoes in the summer, borium and snow rim pads in the winter so I can ride.Old Bjarne has a good shape to his foot with a concave sole. I will take picture when it is warmer and the snow is out of their feet. My farrier does NOT take out much if any sole, especially on the barefoot fjords, just the dead sole that is shedding. So their hooves will have little "cup" in the sole when freshly trimmed, but as they grow out will develope more concavity. Jean in Frigid Fairbanks, Alaska, now -50F! I'm not goin' anywhere today!

All the Fjords I've known are like this I don't recall our Fjord being flat... well, not flat like all the other draft horses I know. But I do know she was a little different from our Arab and Paints. My husband does all our trimming but not shoes, I do remember both he and the farrier commenting she was a little different and thinking the prior owners didn't have a farrier doing her properly. Perhaps that is just the way they all are? They took a little more sole off each time they trimmed her and she didn't ever get sore or anything. So not sure if it matters one way or the other.

CDE Pictures @ Hayfork
This message is from: "Karen McCarthy" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hi folks, Here is a link for anyone who is interested in what the Hayfork, Ca. CDE was like...Besides amazing scenery, there were some pretty cool horses entered! Red mules, Canadiens, Friesans, Welsh & more Welsh, Haffies and several warmblood breeds. There was even a BLM mustang, who looked like a black Percheron who accidentally made it into the dryer & shrunk...very, very cute and 'typey'. You can view our photos in the Training Pony Pair section - also check out Pat & Dave Shumaker's Arnie pics in the Training Sgl. Pony division. He looks awesome! Frannie did a heck of a job driving him, really wowed a couple of the judges. Arnie is a Sven son out of a Gromar daughter. Quite a solid mover. Pat & Dave own the Trinity Driving Center where the event is held. It was my first "real" outing (ADS rec'g CDE) with my "girls", a pair of homebred mares, Sven daughters Idelle & Alycia. Relax Brian, we're no threat yet in the Dressage Dept. yet, (57% 3 judge average) but we're are solid everywhere else, and getting better, doing our homework while the carriage is off for repairs, driving single & working under saddle. I have my Riffel wagonette in at Kurt Barne's in nearby Fallon for repairs before our next CDE in Aug. Replacing some warped wood panels, tightening the wheel bolts, a crab for the pole and BRAKES! New, flexible line ones...like Jerry Friz (THank You!) and his friend Gary suggested I install. No more konking out in the 1st part of a hilly marathon and going brakeless for me! Also, I was kinda thinking of re-powder coating the metal work black, but now I don't think so. In viewing the pics, that funky plum maroon is growing on me! If there are any turnout fashionistas out there who care to comment, what do ya'll think of a red jacket w/ the maroon paint on the vehicle? I like it, but maybe I am getting slightly odd as I creep onwards in age ;-|) Maybe the Red Hat Society is next?! Anyone remember the Rajaneeshies?? That's what my sister said I should explain to the next presentation judge... Anyway, have fun looking - it's free, no video to buy :-)) I am going to order a couple of pics from Christie as presents for my sis who was my most excellent groom this time out. Poor Cinny, I need to make it up to her, as when she tried talking to me as I drove the pair down the center line at the start of our dressage test, (asking me if she should salute the judge too) I had to utter a panicked "shut-up" to her in my best ventreroiquist (sp) voice.

link to Sher's Loki & herd pictures...
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For those following the thread - if you'd like to see the pictures of Loki (and his new herd mates) - just click on the link here: www.RockyMountainTrails.net/Horses.html The photo of the herd grazing together was taken on Loki's third day home - he's "melted" into their little group surprisingly without a fuss! :-) One of Loki back when he was Ken McNabb's horse, in one of their 5day wagon train trips. Another that is a front-on, showing how wide he is. Well, ah, showing how wide we both are! (grin) So, that would make us a *pair* of chunkie monkies! LOL I am 4'11" tall - he's measured at 14.1 h tall. Other pics, too... Best wishes, Sher in Aurora, CO

IF ANYONE IS INTERESTED: BONNIE HOOF PICTURES
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hello I read some of the article on foundered horses & treatment, the one on a site that one of you recommended. I am looking into Magnesium for Bonnie. I guess it will help with her cresty neck AND encourage circulation in her feet? Is that right? Also. I went out last nite and got pictures of her hooves. Close ups from 3 angles (should have gotten the heels, but didn't. If you want, I will get them too)(thank goodness for digital cameras). Also, a close up of each front sole. The soles look bad in my opinion. But I am very used to looking at a normal unfoundered horse hoof. So maybe what I see is normal for founder? I'd like to know what you all think. I'd like to keep her barefoot. I don't like the tought of shoes. But I am interested in a horse boot. Not anything real expensive tho. Just for riding occasionally on the road, when Bonnie is sound. No telling how long that will be. Thanks, Jennie http://fjordbonnie.tripod.com [demime 1.01d removed an attachment of type image/jpeg which had a name of Winter .jpg]
Re: Pictures of a Fjord sighting at a dressage show :)
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Paula, so glad to hear of another Frodo out there - my Frodo is 23 this year and has worked in a Therapeutic Riding Program since he was 3 and always been wonderful. He's also evented at Fair Hill and jumped the Prelim fences there schooling. Been there and done it all exceptionally. He is retiring soon and will become a Pasture Pony because of ringbone. I wish you all the success and as much enjoyment from your Frodo as I have had with mine. Robyn in MD
Pictures of a Fjord sighting at a dressage show :)
This message is from: Paula Chmura <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I was the photographer at a dressage show this weekend and one of Margaret Strachan's adorable mares was entered. Here is a link to some cute Fjord dressage photos http://www.printroom.com/ViewGallery.asp?userid=finnskeeper&gallery_id=58499 What a cutie and she did very well at the show! Frodo and I are currently in the process of relocating to Florida and he arrived safe and sound last week for a month or so of dressage boot camp with a trainer until I get there. I can't wait to see him again. The farm he's going to be boarded at also has a nice x-country course so I can't wait to try him on that. I also wanted to thank everyone who responded about a Fjord mare for my trainer. She ended up buying one from somebody on the list and she was delivered this week. She is thrilled with her :) So another Fjord has a great home. Thanks! Paula (in S. Cal) and Frodo (in N. FL)

This message is from: "jgayle" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Carol, I am joking about that statement to Linda re eighty year olds, I think! Yes I used to go to my mother's retirement area in Seal Beach CA where I felt s young with all the "oldsters". Now in one and a half years I will be eighty!! But I am having a lady come next week and see if the grumpy Gunnar is as reliable as usual and start riding again, I hope. Last time it felt pretty rough as the bones are stiff. I liked that old gal in the tv ads who was eighty plus and said" bring me any horse and as long as you saddle and bridle them I can ride them."

I knew this would come back and haunt me. Just kidding. My mother at 80
years old was so full of fun and life and she never stood still, so please
don't think I was putting down retirees or 80 year olds.
I retired a year ago and this was my first one-month vacation ever. My
vision of my retirement planned adventure was to go...go...go!
At the Crazy Horse Resort this vision wasn't happening. Everyone just sat
in their fold-away chairs in front of the motor homes and just sat there for
weeks. Maybe that was their planned adventure. We had rented a site for a
month but left at the end of the second week. The web page on Lake Havasu
was very deceiving. Once we traveled to Quartzsite things were buzzing. I
guess what I am saying is, "Life is to short (to me) just to sit around".
I hope I did not offend anyone that was not my intent.

I'm retired also, but not in eighties yet, and my older brother says that I should stop burning the candle at both ends and in the middle too. He says I should slow down and at least act retired. LOL Haven't you ever been to Sun City, AZ. It is only for people over 55 and so sterile and boring. When my parents lived there and I would visit with my young children, I was stopped all the time by the residents so they could feast their eyes on youth.
