I really thought that it was the black mud of Alaska, Mary and hence the now
not so smart remark.  All four are so even.  Well at least it proves I
checked her out well.  Jean  Pretty babies and arrant they all?

Jean,  

I can explain the black socks on Stella.  Just come
look at Line in her summer coat - or now while her
winter "jammies" are shedding out.  The black socks
come from Line - and maybe Bjutind too.  All of Line's
foals born here have them, especially Lars.  His black
legs are really striking because the feathers on the
backs of his legs are silvery.  Makes him really
flashy when he trots.

Jean,

Great pictures.  My goodness, Bjorken looks so much
like our Glendar - his halfbrother!!  Glendar is by
Rikolv out of Phil Petty's mare Paske.  Will take some
pictures when we get back from vacation and send them
to you.

Moose/Pictures of Stella II and Bjorken

>these days?

The cow and calf moose that had bedded down outside my window a few weeks
ago were back yesterday, eating hay out of the back corner of my Hay barn.
I have some alfalfa in the little horse barn and have been careful to keep
both parts of the dutch door closed, and lucky I did.  The moose calf was
sniffing around the door yesterday, he could smell the alfalfa.  I was
afraid they might jump into the barn over the bottom half of the dutch
door, and not be able to jump out, which would pose a bit of a problem..:-)

The horses don't pay any attention to the moose anymore, which will be an
asset when we meet moose on the trail.  However I have to be cautious about
the dog when putting her out on her cable runner.  Yesterday morning the
moose scared her enough that she hit the end of the rope and broke her
collar, then took off in the dark down the drive toward the road.  With all
the morning traffic on the road I was afraid she might get hit, but she did
come running back safely.  Since then she is very spooky about the woods in
back of the house...on the lookout for those moose!

They are cute.  And soon you'll be able to ride them again!!!  Springtime at 
last (almost).   BTW, I haven't heard much about the moose  in your 
neighborhood this year.  I take it they aren't pestering your horses too much 
these days?

I think your babies look great.  Can you explain the four black socks on
Stella?  Maybe your mud is blacker than here?  :)  When I said I was
slightly intimidated by the fifteen handers and up it was the first two I
ever saw at Libby and they were "restless".Jean

Lori Albroughj has put picture of two of my fjords on her website.
(Thanks, Lori!)

My mare Stella (Stella II) was imported by the Unraus from Norway along
with her dam Line in l981. Her sire is Butind N1697. 
Stella was born in l977, the  picture was taken in l989.She is 14-3 hh.
She is lighter boned than Line, has very good hooves.   I think her hind
leg is a bit too straight, However all of her offspring have very good
hindquarters. She was approved for breeding in Norway. 

Stella has two sons who are 15-2hh, Anvil's Solvaktig (White dun?..no
stripe) and Bjorken, light brown dun. She also has a son by Rusten, Anvil's
Borgen, who is not as tall and is a breeding stallion owned by  Allison
Bakken. She has three daughers, one still in Norwayas well as  Anvil's
Stina, an ulsdun owned by the Unraus and Two Rivers Bjelke (somehwere in
California or the Northwest)

My big gelding Bjorken was born in l987.  His sire is Anvil's Rikolv owned
by George Weaver.Bjorken is 15-2hh  and has good withers (which
probably add 2" to his height.) He is rather light boned for his size and I
would guess would be marked down at an evaluation for that as well as for
"breed type" as  I don't consider him real "typey" . I never considered
keeping him as a stallion.  He is a wonderful riding horse with a great
personality and very gentle and I love his size as I am pretty tall.
