RE: Fjord memory 2009
This message is from: Karen McCarthy weeg...@hotmail.com Yeah Teressa, I remember coming upon that scene. We thought some ET's had landed @ the outdoor arena @ Moses Lake and taken over the horses...it was pretty cool watching your minions leaping to fro through the truck headlights! Kmac , where I just got home from the Christmas eve carriage stroll w/ the pair. All went well, lots of happy people at the party had their 1st carriage ride.

Just before the Northwest Fjord Show this past August, it was too hot to school the horses during the day. So Marg, Ingrid and I took the minions (Zoe, Kristen, and McKenzie) back to the hotel for a swim and then to dinner so we could go back to the show grounds when it would be somewhat cooler. Minions had on shorts. Ingrid and I stopped at Wal-Mart to get yet more water so Marg and the minions got back to the horses sooner than we did. Unfortunately, I had the key to the trailer tack room, where minion breeches were kept. It got late. It got dark. Horses still needed schooling. Jumps had to be set. So schooling was in the dark, minions in shorts and tall boots. Trucks arrayed around the arena with lights on to give some illumination. Horses kicking up the pervasive fine dust so it was like a scene from a fairy tale. Minions schooling fjords over jumps in the headlights, coming out from the darkness into swirling dust and spotlights trained on the jumps. Fjords looking awesome in the scene. Minions laughing. All of us with huge smiles having the time of our lives - even though we weren't the ones on the horses. Teressa in sunny but cold Northwest Washington - what were your best fjord memories of 2009?

Hi there Marsha,
I am so very sorry to hear about Nansy. I remember her so well the time
we stopped by to visit. Brigid really loved her, I saw her care for her when
you were here in Ca. Brigid has a knack for loving hands on those wonderful
old people horses. We were very fortunate to be able to see her one more
time. I can only imagine the inner pain of losing your first love. My heart
goes out to you.
We are getting closer of our dream to come to Oregon, perhaps we could
stop by again. your friend (s) Jack ('n Brigid of course)

Best friends are so hard to let go. pat wilson ttfn Marsha Jo Hannah wrote: This message is from: Marsha Jo Hannah [EMAIL PROTECTED] I'm sorry to say that I no longer have the oldest NFHR Fjord (born May 6, 1969). We put Nansy down this morning. Over the last few months, the combination of her arthritis and Cushings was making her life more difficult. Between creaky joints and loss of muscle tone, she could no longer get up by herself, when she laid down. She solved this problem by not laying down for as long as possible (weeks at a time), then waiting patiently for us to come help her up. Of course, since her getting up muscles weren't getting any exercise, she became increasingly less able to get up, and there was noticable atrophy of the muscles in her hind legs. The last couple of times, she couldn't roll from her side onto her chest without help. Her appetite got increasingly finicky last week, then yesterday, she lost interest in food---would merely pick at her Equine Senior. And, much of the day, she stood with her rump in a corner of the corral, letting the fence hold her up. I wasn't surprised to find her down when we went out to feed this morning, and regretfully made that final call to the vet. Nansy was my first horse. She converted my husband into a horse-lover, and taught him to ride. She got us both thoroughly hooked on Fjords, leading to the purchase of our other two geldings. I retired her in 1990 (due to her ringbone), but she remained my good old girl---the one that I would go out to brush when my life needed a dose of the serenity that she seemed to exude.

Harold was well known as the man who imported Grabb, Dragtind, and many wonderful mares, a true lover of the breed. I'm sure many of you, like me, purchased your first Fjords from Harold. Over the last few years he was plagued with health problems, and his grandson Brian took over the herd when Harold and Dottie retired to Florida. But even in retirement, he never lost interest in the horses...how he loved to buy and sell! For those who would like to send a note to Dottie, the address is 606 Alliance Court, Deland, Fla 32720. God Bless you, Harold! Oh I am really sorry to hear this. I never did meet Harold face to face but I have spent many hours on the phone with him. For people that don't know it was Harold Jacobsen that started the NFHR. It has grown now to be the largest registry in North America. Thanks Harold for all you have done for our wonderful Fjords.
