Sydney will especially like the purple grooming tools! I'm glad to hear that everything arrived safely. I'd hoped that the grooming tools would come in handy; those thick Fjord manes and tails tend to be rather hard on grooming equipment. > How are those neat ornaments done? It looks like photos in color on > slag glass, very neat. The fused glass ornaments are made using a special type of printer paper. I convert photos to black-&-white, then print them out with a laser printer (one that has a high percentage of ferrous material in the toner; mine's a cheap HP LaserJet). Then I trim the photos down and soak them briefly in water until the layers of the paper begin to separate. Next, I carefully slide the transparent layer with the photo on it off of the other layer and onto a piece of fusing glass (one or more layers) that I've cut to the desired size and shape. The whole thing then goes in the kiln for fusing, which takes about 8-9 hours in total, including the controlled cool-down from the peak temperature of around 1300 degrees Fahrenheit. During the firing process, the paper and non-ferrous toner components burn away, leaving behind the ferrous content, which oxides and fuses with the glass to create the sepia-toned image. It's a neat technique, though it took some trial & error to get it right. My first attempt using a Samsung printer was a total loss - Samsung toner apparently contains *no* ferrous content and the photos vanished completely during firing! The other, non-photo, ornament (or cabochon to use on a necklace; it can be used for either purpose) is also fused glass, only in that case, the Fjord head is sheet copper which I hand embossed, using another photo of my Fjord as the template. > And lots of videos of Fjords and driving to watch!

I received the most awesome "cowboy" rope halter and lead rope - in a bright yellow and blue pattern that even I can't lose in the snow (or mud this December so far!) The Farrier also sends his "Thanks" for the sturdy halter now in use on Thumper. AND I also got a beautiful pale blue, soft as mink sweatshirt with a Fjord drawing and "Hestehaven" lettered in white - that I've had to keep my Mom from snitching (she's tried TWICE already, and it isn't evem New Year's yet!)

re: Secret Santa / Gift Swap for this year?
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] "...Are you on the right list??? I believe the S S is on the CDL??? However, might be others..." Yep, Jerry - am on the right list. :-) *Many* list on the net have a SS each year. I hosted the SS for the PapFriends list last year, and was a participant on the FjordHorse list's SS. :-) "...the Fjordhorse list has had "Secret Santa" also..Cynthia Madden headed it up last year I think..." Yep, I do believe she was the host for the SS here, last year. She did a great job! "...that would be awsome to ahve it! How would we do it though?..." First - someone volunteers and is approved the list owner to host the SS. At least - that's how it's been done on other lists, so am geussing same here. ;-)Then the host posts a guidelines to the list. The list members send (usually a private email, not to the list) their information to the host. At the deadline for entries date, the host then matches up all who sent in an entry, to another list member. Works out that each "giver" is then a "receiver" - so no one gets left out. When I hosted the PapFriends SS last year - we had one odd member, so I sent out two gifts, so that person was not left out. Sometimes the SS person chooses to stay annonimous - sometimes it's a fun geussing game to see if one recognizes the clues of who their SS was. Varies from list SS to list SS. That's about all there is to it - LOTS of fun!

The ones you do see are BDF John Arthur, BDF Magnum and BDF Obelisk, so we call it "the Three Brothers." A little computer graphic magic and Voila! You have a "painting." We decided to make it into a poster and have had some copies printed. I've been trying to make the time to get it up on our website, but the Christmas cards took precedence. Besides, they were fun! For everyone else, I'll let you know when the poster is finally on the site. I've been playing with that, also, trying to be artistic. Unfortunately, Comupter is not my first language. Horse is (no...I don't whisper.;-) with Art as my second language, so I'm finding some of the literal computer stuff can be limiting. Just need to find the time to learn the ins and outs. Sue, and everyone else, have a Very Merry Christmas! Beth -- Beth Beymer & Sandy North Starfire Farm, Berthoud CO http://www.starfirefarm.com

The Fjords have to wait for their treats for Christmas but patients was never one of my virtues. Love the picture frame with the Fjord on it and the poster of Starfire Farms. I would love to know who did the drawings of the Fjords in the frame and the Christmas card. Thanks again and Merry Christmas to you both and hugs to all the Fjords.

Re: Secret Santa messages
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Lynn Binkowski) To the Head Elf, I'm not sure whether I am supposed to reply on the list or privately to your message to me, but here's the answer to my Santa's question Alas, I have only one fjordie, and no homestead to call my own (at least not YET) so I have no farm name. When I do, I'l have to think of something really COOL to call it though! My SO has a fir tree farm, so..someday, maybe we'll both have a firry fjord farm! (Really, dear, it's you I love, not your 60 acres of land!) If my Secret Santa could help out with any arrangements of the matrimonial kind, I'd leave some extra cookies and carrots by the fireplace. Also, Head Elf, could you please contact me ASAP on another matter! I've been trying to contact you off the list but haven't heard back from you. Thank you! and thanks, Santa Lynn and Trina in CT
RE: Secret Santa (Dianne Turcotte)
This message is from: "Turcotte, Dianne" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I'm sorry about your doberman. My parents had the most wonderful doberman named Duke. He was just the perfect dog. My daughter could crawl all over him, dress him up, and string him with necklaces and he wouldn't complain a bit. He seemed to know that she was a pup and all should be tolerated. Yet he was still a great protector of "his house" and "his family". Bells drove him crazy and watching Wheel of Fortune filled the house with barking! Strangely he died from symptoms that sound the same as your dog's, the vet never could exactly figure it out, at first thought that it was Lyme disease, later said that it was some kind of immune problem. At least five years later we all still get tears in our eyes when we talk of him. I know how hard it is to lose an animal that has been part of your family. Have a happy and safe New Year, Dianne

Re: Secret Santa (Dianne Turcotte)
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Greetings Dianne Turcotte, >From warm and sunny So. Cal. I'm so glad you like your Fjordhorse earrings, I had a hard time not keeping them for myself! Merit and Ashley sound like a great pair, I hope your Christmas was wonderful. I'm still waiting for my first Fjord, a lovely baby filly named Amma will soon be on her way to Rancho Zen Rodeo from the Shota Fjords in the Blue Mountains of Oregon. We can hardly wait. We fell in love with Fjords last year after meeting Lisa and Jeff Pederson's and Margaret and Barry Strachan's at a driving show. After many years with wonderful Arabs I was looking for something a little less "reactive" as I don't bounce as well as I used to, and my non-horsey hubby was enchanted by them as well. Our Christmas was saddened by the sudden and unexpected loss of our 5 year old Dobie bitch Dakota due to a total breakdown of her immune system. We are glad to have Amma to look forward to and the fjord list to learn from during this sad time. The recent posts on losses and the Rainbow Bridge have been especially meaningful. I'm glad to have been your "secret santa", keep in touch and have a great new year! Julianne Miller-Boyer

RE: Secret Santa
This message is from: "Turcotte, Dianne" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Well Denise, What I have been doing lately is that when ever Meritt gets down for a bow I jump up, and lean on her or actually jump on. One time after my jumping on she actually bowed back down on her own to ask me to get off. I was suprised and got off immediately. I really don't have any other advice other than this was an every day training session in the beginning. She is a really great girl and I usually did this in a small pasture setting with just a halter and no lead. Just kind of her choice to cooperate or not. I think that it may be just the Fjord way but if I really push her in a situation that she doesn't prefer, she won't do it. Don't know if I have been any help. Happy Holidays, Dianne
