Re: Quiet list...WOW Fairbanks!
This message is from: Kay Van Natta jadeb...@aol.com I feel like such a wimp after hearing about the temps in AK! I'll try to limit my whining by thinking of you. Some things ARE the same all over I guess...the birds are lined up for Fjord fur around here too. Braveheart is well thought of by our local avian population but Bogie is invited to ALL the parties. When you shed enough hair to knit 2 new ponies, you become extremely popular with the local nest contractors. Stay warm. Spring is out there somewhere.

She sent me a beautiful hand made Fjord picture, made of punched out copper ( have no idea how else to explane it ! ) framed in barn wood. She is an incredible artist, and this picture will have a special place in my Fjord brag room ! It looks like one of those old antique copper horses like in a photograph with the metal formed outward...wish I could explane it better. Maybe she will detail here how she does it, but Im looking at it right now, and she has really outdone herself !

minnesota horse expo WOW (long)
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] did we have a great weekend. the expo here sets up a parade of breeds every day in which each breed gets a one minute display in the coliseum arena, and later in the day a 5 minute demo ride. this arena is HUGE, if anyone has been at the minnesota state fair they will remember it. the lighting is awful, the ceiling is high, you go uphill through a tunnel to get inside.and walls are high, white concrete with banners on them..and at one end are the corrals and chutes for the nightly rodeo. however, that said...our fjords did great! we try in our demo to show the variety of styles we do, and also the suitability for all ages. we had hannah boisen on oyer as our youth rider, riding western. anne lottie with lena, and kristin lee on yaeger rode english pleasure. hieke lewandowski showed her stallion thor in dressage riding, linda syversen-kerr was our flag carrier on marcus, riding western. the lustys drove darla in a meadowbrook cart, the bob and therine gudknecht pulled a 4 wheel wagon, and deeann sime and anne longfellow worked loki lee in an easy entry cart. oz and i rode western. and if i can be humble, we were all great! after we rode, we had people come up to us who had watched the entire demo (all the breeds) and we truly were complimented many times about being the best they saw. we were dressed to suit the way we rode, the horses were clean and groomed, and to a fault, everyone of them were very well behaved. when we walked them around the fairgrounds in the evening, we were always surrounded by admiring kids (and adults) wanting to pet them, and asking questions. i met many people from the list who don't post a lot (julie, i think it was?) who just wanted to meet oz. KATE charboneau, you were fantastic. she came all the way down from bemidji and stayed two days to help with the mounting blocks, heading the carts, and generally being a terrific helper. plus i think we have convinced her to come to blue earth and participate with fred this summer. she even used oz as a model to check the fit on the saddle she bought, since he is about the same size as her fjord Fred. we also several new and potential fjord owners whom we sent home with a lot of information and encouragement to come to blue earth, even if it's just to watch. which brings me to oz, if i may get personal for a minute. i am sure everyone has heard ad nauseum about my fears and apprehensions, and this event brings out the nerves in everyone. we had to mount up in the horse barn, ride down the street through people, strollers, cars, trucks, golf carts, going around the back of the coliseum where we passed a semi trailer full of noisy, stinking cows waiting to unload for the rodeo. there were papers blowing around the streets, and distractions every where. oz was a rock. in our second one minute presentation, he and i were the last one in, and so managed to settle in just as the full house applauded. he spooked, but i controlled it and we rode out just fine. the next day i had a panic attack when they started moving the ramp for the cattle right as we approached the arena entrance for our 5 minute demo. i really wanted to bail out, but kristin suggested i just sit tight (or loose) and see what happens. so i took a deep breath and went with it. in we went, surround by lights, banners, crowds, music, the whole works. within 30 seconds, he was trotting in his easy western jog, head down and calm, while the announcer introduced each of us by name, and we waved. we came around the end of the arena, and i suddenly heard GO, OZZIE, GO! i looked up and there must have been at least 10 people from our boarding stable on their feet hollering for us. what a high. i rode out with tears running down my face, and a smile. what a day! laurie and OZ the wonderful ** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.

This message is from: Mike May, Registrar NFHR Well any of you that missed the Dancing With Fjords event last night in Winona, MN missed the most awesome display of fjords ever presented for sure in North America maybe in the World. I can't say enough or find the words to explain how impressive it really was. We were entertained for 2 hours by non stop beauty then action comedy all rolled up into the best show ever. Talk about Versatility!!! WOW again... It started out with a color guard procession with people Fjords parading in with the flags of all of the countries that were represented. I am sure I will miss someone but there were guests there from Norway, Denmark, The Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Scotland, Switzerland and probably some that I have missed. if I did I am sorry please someone let me know. Then the Norwegian Wedding procession started out. All in Norwegian costumes and too beautiful to describe in words. By the way no one really got married but they were a pretty good looking couple. How the West was Won was very exciting with roping, riding, sliding stops, barrel racing etc all going on at the same time. Following them then we were entertained by Teams of 4 6 horse hitches - 6 horses pulling a stagecoach, 4 horses pulling very large logs around the arena and then a 4 abreast pulling a wagon which then came back in and showed us how to get someplace in a hurry. Thanks to Rich Hotovy, Mike Sadlon Bob Gudknecht with Bob Sally Kjorsivg's Stagecoach. And of course all of the behind the scenes people doing all of the real work. Then there were other 4 in hands driven by Dave McWethy Jeff Pedersen. Dave's was put together with 4 white duns We had a single handed driving demo (Aachen Bach style) by Henrich Dahl of Denmark also that was very elegant. Then there was the Circus Circus act - Just plain fun. These guys really put on a show- tricks, horses rearing, vaulting much more. Marsha Korose did a Hot Wheels demo of some very fast driving as a CDE demo in a cow pasture - again you had to be there to see it. (There was an unfortunate accident in the ring during the setup of the cows when Curt Pierce went down almost had to be shot right there in the ring!) (just kidding of course) Sammie Poirier put on a Roman Riding demo (standing on the backs of two horses riding the horses with only halters on - no bits at all in their mouths. Simply amazing and very impressive indeed. This was while Beth Beymer was riding a Reverse Ridden Unicorn Then there was the Jump for the Fun of it - in the dark with lights on the horses lit jumps held by 4 crazy volunteers. Very cool also. The DQ crew was also very impressive with Lauren Chumley Beth Beymer putting on a very impressive dressage demo. Then we were surprised to learn that Fjords can play soccer in the World cup Fjord Soccer match that pitted the Red team against the Blue team. The red team did win with a 1 - 0 lead. These horses really liked playing with that 5 foot high soccer ball too! The Starfire Farm Quadrille team wound up the evening with an amazing performance. There is no describing it I am afraid you just had to be there for it. Just plain Awesome! I am sure I have left some of the acts out of this but they were all very entertaining very memorable for sure. I wish all of you could have been here to see it.

Birth Announcement WOW! all fillies and New Mares
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Now I know why this message didn't get posted, I sent it from another email. Announcing the Arrival of Nysse born 6/20. Her Sire is WHR Elsker our 4 year old stallion and her Dam is Quad-L's Lara, our friend Sarah Nagel's mare. I can't believe Elsker threw all fillies !!! We have WHR Val Kyrie and WHR Feline (Feline will be for sale at weaning 8/17 for $1800) our daughter Mandy and son- inlaw Eric, bought ValKyrie. Sarah is keeping Nysse at this time. Little Nysse is very light red with a barely visible dorsal, just like Elsker was when he was little.(he's a gorgeous reddish brown now) the other two fillies are very dark with very prominant markings. All Three are BEAUTIFUL and Sarah is so happy to have a new baby. We have welcomed to our herd recently, Two Rivers Kare and Two Rivers Pen Jente (Penny). These two 14 year old mares are beautiful and will make very nice babies for us. Both of these mares have the Njaals - Merke on their cheeks. and lots and lots of zebra striping on their legs. I love those markings! Well I better get back to all the horse paperwork I am trying to get filled out Enjoy your summer Everyone Michele Noonan Stevensville, MT

This message is from: Jean Ernest [EMAIL PROTECTED] My big gelding Bjorken has those Njaals-Merke on his cheeks also. His sire is Anvil's Rikolv, who I note is Kare's sire and Pen Jente's grandsire. Wonder If they get that from him? Jean in rainy Fairbanks, Alaska We have welcomed to our herd recently, Two Rivers Kare and Two Rivers Pen Jente (Penny).

wow! and thanks
This message is from: Knutsen Fjord Farm [EMAIL PROTECTED] What an adventure, Dagrun! I am impressed, and so, I am sure, is Knute Janice, thank you in turn for your very nice reference in your post about wonderful Fjord people. It is a nice group, isn't it? And don't feel alone, there is frequent talk on the Digest about Fjord addiction. We put chubby Suki [baby on board] to our cart today, and, low and behold, she remembered what to do! She would rather have been eating, but was reasonably cooperative nevertheless. We took some video to prove it, which I will give to Carl when he arrives on Saturday. I wonder how the baby liked the trotting? I have no doubt that you will get the grey filly we requested last year! Since Erlend produced nothing but boys last year, I figure that this year, when we don't have one of his coming from our mares, they will all be girls. Harumph! Anyway, thanks for referring to me as knowledgeable, but I think you got me confused with Lori ~ I have trouble figuring out the harness straps, too. Congrats on getting your new cart. Wish you were coming to Galena. And on another subject, founder, don't forget the pro-bios given asap. Bye, Peg Peg Knutsen - Ellensburg, WA http://www.eburg.com/~kffjord/
Re: Felix's sons - Wow!
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Arthur Rivoire) Hello from Carol Rivoire at Beaver Dam Farm in Nova Scotia - I just looked at the Fjordhorse International site and saw the Stallion Placing's from Nordfjordeid. Boy, am I impressed with the fact of so many Felix sons on the list of stallion candidates. This is incredible! Congratulations to Pat Wolfe for having the eye to pick such a quality stallion. And aren't we lucky to have Felix in North America. This is what breeding is all about - Producing consistent quality! Wow!!! I also read on the FHI site that Norway has about 800 foals a year, so that's about 400 colts. I believe Felix bred about 40 mares before leaving Norway. Wonder how many were colts? So, out of that 40, 7 sons appear this year at Nordfjordeid. WOW! I AM IMPRESSED!

Wow Brian!!
This message is from: Evers [EMAIL PROTECTED] Brian: What a mouthfull. I'm not ashamed to admit it almost brought tears to my eyes! Haven't heard anything quite so profound in a long while. too long! This is something we should all read a second time through and really take to heart, as those things you mentioned really do mean more than all the blue ribbons and trophies in the world. Thank you for this slice of wisdom. Amy Bud, Tillie Amy Evers Dun Lookin' Fjords http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Ridge/8589 Speak yer mind, but ride a fast horse.
