This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] "...> The Fjord is a wonderful little horse good for all occasions and is from > Norway, in case you are new to the list..." Thanks, Jean - nope, I've been on the list for a couple of years. :-) But I don't drive in the traditional since ... that is, the Hampshire sheep that I taught to drive a mini cart was very amateurish (hardly professional!) but Petunia & I had a heck of a good time! (big grin) Same with a mini ox, Daisy Mae, that I raised. But I've never done traditional "correct" driving with my ponies -- just doping around, having fun, in the pasture sort of stuff. So I don't think that counts - that's a big reason why I don't know the correct harness terms or do-dads (no one ever taught me the "right" way, I've just been having some fun with my critters.) I am saving my shuckles up to get my own Fjord someday. In the meantime, am having a good time making Fjord-ie cartoons on things. :-)I hope this summer to get my first Fjord. I'm a trail rider, have a Standardbred horse that my family enjoys on the trails. That's what I want my future fjord to do - trail ride. Thanks for explaining "horse brass" to me. Sher

This message is from: "Jean Gayle" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To clear up a point. I have a large collection of horse bridle rosettes and when I said that the horse brass might be a new rosette that came from a recent problem.. Maybe not so recent as the Koreans copied one of our better rosette maker's product very poorly. There is a fellow who sells under the name of Slatesigns and he produces new rosettes which are now going as "vintage" by other sellers. He also "ages" them but normally tells that. One of the patterns is of a fjord and altho the glass is poor on my pair I think he is now doing them better. If you contact him directly he sells them about $6 a pair incl shipment. If you buy them on Ebay they are $18 up. He is causing confusion re age of the rosettes for beginners.

This message is from: "Jean Gayle" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sher this is a new rosette that goes on the bridle by the ear of the horse. If they did not use the wrong word, "horse brass" then it is an ornament that goes on the harness of driving horses. The Fjord is a wonderful little horse good for all occasions and is from Norway, in case you are new to the list..
