This message is from: sam Stanley [EMAIL PROTECTED] As most of you know the latest storm brought the northeast a significant amount of snow and rain. Due to fast accumulation and switch to rain, My modest38 x 72 riding/training structure collapsed on Sun shortly after the change over to rain. We had no chance to clear it off in time. No one was injured, Thank goodness I had a concerns about a dying pine tree I felt was too close for comfort and chose not to house the few horses I usually put under the cover -all during inclement weather. I had also chose not to continue the clean up of the snow just inside it or on it from the inside not too long before it came down. For that I am eternally grateful. Compared others my loss seems relatively small and again I am so very gratefull for no loss of life or limb. My heart is with those even more diffuclties and weather related issues. I am over the shock of the total loss (no insurance on the structure) the loss of revenue, clean up costs and disbelief that I have to start over. Those of you that know me, know I have 90% therapeutic and entry level clients. Not all of them can endure the elements and the clean dry peaceful environment was key to building up that client base. I have to reduce the horses to a number I can feed and care for properly over the winter with the cash flow from the few clients that will be able to ride in the snow and icy conditions. I have a few nice ponies (3-4) for sale or lease, all are Fjords and quite sweet. Each one is familiar with PNH and has had a lot of good thoughtful handling. I am quite willing to work out free leases or let them go quite inexpensively to the right situations. Anyone interested can e-mail me for more details and pictures. I am also looking for thoughts and ideas on fund raising to replace with another modest indoor. We are not a non profit but service local ones for kids and assisted living adults. Thank you all for your support and help. Sam Stanley Barefoot Farm Amesbury Ma - Looking for last minute shopping deals? Find them fast with Yahoo! Search.

This message is from: Susan Cargill [EMAIL PROTECTED] I was amazed when reading the post about the hurricane in Oregon and Washington. Living in the Midwest and rural Wisconsin I must have missed the news or amazingly it never reached our press. But ice storms are something I've experienced. Where we live in northern Wisconsin we mainly get snow, but where I grew up in Southern Minnesota ice storms happened every year. Some worse than others. While I believe in global warming, weather moves in cycles - this year we appear to be in a snow cycle.. yeah Happy Holidays to all from everyone at Longtheway Farm in Birchwood, WI Susan The FjordHorse List archives can be found at: http://tinyurl.com/rcepw
