Jon,

>The name Flor in Norwegian can mean a couple of things. "Bloom" or
>"flowering" is probably the most common meaning,
hurray!!!

>but it can also mean "cow

oops...

> Just don't tell Flor about that one.
I'll keep it in mind for the unlikely event that I would ever be angry 
with him... no, never!

>Maybe Flor is like Ferdinand the bull who would rather be in the pasture
>smelling flowers than in the ring fighting. 
if you would have seen him, you wouldn't have been able to find a better 
comparison!!! he's totally Ferdinandish!!!

Jon, can I ask you something (it's so nice you speak Norwegian!) - is 
"Unna" a Norwegian name and what does it mean? It always sounded like 
"number 1" to me, but that's rather Spanish I think...

thanks!

Saskia

I think it's a great name for a Fjord.  It would sound kind of funny for
another breed, mabe that's what they meant

Hi Ingrid!

>I hope you get "Flor"!! He sounds marvelous...
thank you! he really is! You know, he already whinnies when he sees me... 
how can I not get him then? :-)
As soon as the quiz-money is on my bank-account, I'll just go for him. 
And when Tom sees him here, he'll melt!

maybe... he only rode once and couldn't sit for a week after that (that's 
what he says). But driving sounds like something he might like, the more 
I think of it, the better...
(Tom denies this completely!)

yes :-)

a Flording! BTW, do you think "Flor" is an ugly name? I like it so, but 
everybody tells me it's an ugly name... I think it sounds like a flower.

I wish all of you could come with me!

Saskia.
