Gandolf is the gelding C-1390. He'll beswitching gears next week for the Pendleton Round-Up parade, something I've been trying to recruit fjords to for 10 yr now. Novel concept here -  one gets PAID for bringing a team to this parade. 


Hi Joel,
I sure enjoy hearing about your life with the Fjords and appreciate you 
taking the time out to update us on all of your activities.  Keep the 
tales coming.

Gandolf is the gelding C-1390. He'll beswitching gears next week for the 
Pendleton Round-Up parade, something I've been trying to recruit fjords to for 
10 yr now. Novel concept here -  one gets PAID for bringing a team to this 
parade. One pulls a wagon or whatever owned by the Round-Up assoc. Geir will be 
there as well as Honey,  that world renowned author of Life on the Ground, 
Jord. Jord will hold up the other end of the tongue for Mom, C-1404, Who is 
looking for a new home.

Alas, Jord has had a change of heart  graciously decided to stay here at the 
ranch to replace Mom in the working string. Little brother Baar has also 
decided to stay but only if I get him a new sweetie for next year. Mom out, 
sweetie in. So goes the life of the punks at the ranch.
Since Baar is coming 2  still basically useless he will continue to be a full 
fledged punk next year unless he gets lucky with Mom's replacement. 


Bye

Congrats, Joel, on your wins at the State Fair, where the competition is
usually pretty stiff.  What is the name of this gelding, that at one time
pulled almost 3x his weight!  That is pretty impresive!  I bet the light
horse people would like to see you in the draft division, and the drafts are
glad to see you in the light division!  Every once in a while out here there
is a draft pony division.  So were the halfingers in the light horse
division?

I saw Pat Wolfe do a single horse log skid, lots of quick foot work
required!  Never seen a team.  The time difference between your team and the
runner up was excellent, congrats all around.  The ponies definitely deserve
the extra carrot award for jobs well done.
