Book review for the Fjord Herald?
This message is from: Alice MacGillivray Hello everyone. Thanks again for the inspiration, facts and stories that contributed to the creation of "Riding Horseback in Purple." Several people on this list are quoted or acknowledged or even behind or in front of the camera. I have a question. Most feedback on the book has been very positive, but has generally been from people with quite a bit of horse experience. As many of you know, the goal of the book is to help adults (adult women in particular) decide whether they are really ready for a horse, and if so, how to prepare well, find the right horse, and develop a solid, lasting relationship. I was chatting with Teressa Kandianis about writing an article for the Herald, and she is interested in getting a review of Riding Horseback in Purple for the Herald by someone who is a relative beginner. Do you know someone who might be willing (or perhaps some of you consider yourselves relative beginners)? The paperback is available through Amazon.com (and many other outlets) or I could arrange for a reviewer to get an e-copy if they've not read it. If you do know someone, please check with them to see if they are keen (rather than volunteering them!) If you are experienced with horses and have found the book interesting or valuable for yourself or clients, there are lots of other venues for reviews such as newsletters or online distributors such as Amazon. Thank you everyone!

RE: Thanks for your input to my book
This message is from: "Mary Ofjord" Alice - I LOVED the book, my only complaint is that it was too short! Yes, lots of wonderful information for first time horse owners. Now, the only thing is how to get your book into their hands! Have you contacted any of the horse publications here in the US, such as Horse & Rider, Equus, Horse Illustrated, etc.? It would be great if they were willing to do a small blurb on the book. Thanks again for a wonderful read!

Thanks for your input to my book
This message is from: Alice MacGillivray I know I've thanked some of you, but I wanted to post a thank you to the community as a whole, and mention some of the folks on the acknowledgements page of Riding Horseback in Purple: Re-awakening the Dream of Owning a Horse." Ellen Barry, Wendy Bauwens, Robin Churchill, Phil Odden, Yvonne Olson, June Mendoza Wheeler, Mel Raven, Corinne Logan and Pat Wolfe are just a few of the "Fjord people" mentioned in the book, and MANY others had input. Thank you so much! The way the book unfolded, it seems to be valuable for three groups of people. It is written for women who are considering their first horse (or first horse in a long time) in the hope that they will find the right horse at the right time for a healthy, long-term relationship. The other two groups benefitting are groups that are recommending the book to their clients. Sadly, many of the rescue organization managers I spoke with said rescues are too often temporary. Even when they work hard to match women and horses, the women aren't always as prepared as they hoped, and the human-horse relationships don't last. Similarly, some breeders, trainers and coaches want their clients to have a solid foundation and become lifelong learners. It has been interesting to hear from experienced friends who have read the book. Of course a lot of the content was extremely basic for them. But that reminded them how much they have learned over the decades. It really is difficult, some of them have said, to put themselves in the shoes of beginners. Fortunately, I haven't found it difficult to do that! The book should be available now everywhere from Amazon to the local bookstore (though you'll probably need to ask in smaller outlets). I am also trying to keep this site current with updates: http://ridinghorsebackinpurple.com/ Have fun with your Fjords. Here in western Canada (not far from Seattle) I am looking forward to the end of the mud season!

The store is donating 10% of all sales and I "think" they would also honor the donation if you called and ordered a book via phone! The other book signing will be at Borders by the Ridgedale Mall on October 10th at 2pm.

Re: Book fans
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I've got a copy of GaWaNi Pony Boy's book and it's full of sensible and useful horse tips. The only thing that he makes sound easy (but isn't) is his description of how to mount your horse bareback. I get it intellectually - I understand the moves, their order and their rhythm - I just can't actually DO it. I think it helps to be slender, in your twenties and male (what weight they have is in their upper body). Bareback mounting is a lot harder when you're built like a pear...a chubby pear. But the book is a really good read. Kay and Bogie, who says, "What IS she doing? She keeps jumping up and bouncing back off my side?" and Braveheart, who says, "Don't worry. When she starts that stuff you're never going to have to leave the barn." **Start the year off right.

He is looking for 'portraits', and doesn't want them of horses doing anything (i.e. driving, jumping, hunting etc). If anyone has any high quality paintings, or portraits of a Fjord, which might fit this description, you might want to let Bill know. He's doing a book of horse portraits and would love to have Fjord(s) included. He has done 3 books on dog art so far, and they've been very well received. He used to be the director of the AKC Dog Museum, and he runs a first class gallery of dog and horse art in New York City. For more information, feel free to contact me. I'd be happy to look at anything you might have a photo of, if you would like to run it by me first.

They will play a significant part in continuing to improve the breed and the breed's gene pool. Way to go! Also, as some of you know, I'm working on a book. It's full of witty and sparkling humor about what happens when a middle-aged woman [me], encounters the realities of horsekeeping [them.] Cross your fingers about the witty and sparkling part... We have put up the draft of a new web site for "Midlife Madness - Setting up Horsekeeping." You should be able to find it at www.horsehumor.net . I would love to have comments, preferably enthusiastically positive, from any of you who would care to respond. Yes, you won't be disappointed - my stallion will occasionally show up in my writing I have enjoyed reading about all of your adventures in the snow and ice. We had a couple of power outages, the longer being 4 1/2 days. We coped with generator, gas fireplace, running water [we're not on a well now], and our Coleman stove. Aren't we hardy, though? Our 6 inches of snow is gone. We're currently enjoying some sunshine while waiting for the Spring Deluges to appear. There's hope - the days are getting longer.

Buck's Book.
This message is from: "Gail Russell" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Here is Buck's groundwork book. http://www.eclectic-horseman.com/mercantile/product_info.php?manufacturers_i d=17&products_id=31&EHCsid=899e3f4754e383b8e362e3471d9acfea It is quite helpful to use along with the video. You do not have to do everything in it...like roping a hind foot. Buck was a trick roper (you would probably like his book, The Faraway Horses, in which one learns about his life). Even Bryan Neubert does not recommend roping a foot...unless you are Buck! :) Bryan has the world's best timing with a horse. Buck relies heavily on his rope skills. If I had my druthers, I would have Bryan's timing first. :)

We have set aside 40 copies for those farms that are in the book. I got a bit carried away with all the color pictures and more pages than planned, so the cost did go up some. But the book turned out very nice. The publishing cost was $ 32.50 and shipping will be right at $ 2.50 US (more in Canada, I will check on this and let you know after the holiday) If you live back east and plan to attend the Winona show there, Sherrie will have books with her to sell there and save you the postage.

Fwd: The USDF Guide to Dressage book release announced
This message is from: "Mike May, Registrar NFHR" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: The USDF Guide to Dressage book release announced Date: Thu, 9 Mar 2006 14:15:30 -0500 For Immediate Release March 9, 2006 The USDF Guide to Dressage book release announced The United States Dressage Federation (USDF) is pleased to announce the release of The USDF Guide to Dressage. USDF has partnered with author Jennifer O. Bryant and Storey Publishing in order to bring dressage to a wider audience. The book will give greater opportunities to interest individuals in the sport of dressage. "This is a wonderful book that 'opens the door,' allowing many to enter and experience the world of dressage," USDF Vice President George Williams comments in the foreward of the book. Assuming no prior knowledge of the sport, The USDF Guide to Dressage leads riders through the training scale and a full course of exercises, from pre-Introductory to Second Level. The book is illustrated with easy-to-follow photographic sequences, all presented in full color and demonstrated by respected riders, competitors, and USDF-certified dressage instructors. This authoritative guide includes the dramatic and colorful history of dressage, an overview of proper terminology and equipment, as well as information on competition, cross-training for other disciplines, management of the dressage horse, rider fitness, and more. Dressage is an intricate ballet of athleticism and grace, demanding precise movement and excellent communication between horse and rider, is particularly appealing to the growing group of Baby Boomer riders who are looking for opportunities to expand their riding skills and knowledge without the physical challenges and risks involved in jumping and racing. Whether theyve been in the saddle for years or are just taking up or renewing their riding practice, these eager riders will find The USDF Guide to Dressage key to building a more satisfying relationship with their horses. Books will be available April 17, 2006 and can be pre-ordered through the USDF merchandise department at (859) 271-7892. (author bio) Jennifer O. Bryant is the editor of USDF Connection, the member magazine of the United States Dressage Federation. She is the author of Olympic Equestrian: The Sports and the Stories from Stockholm to Sydney and co-author of A Gymnastic Riding System Using Mind, Body & Spirit. A longtime dressage rider and horse owner, she has competed through the FEI levels and is a USDF bronze and silver medalist.

Reply to Larry - new book
This message is from: "Catherine lassesen" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Larry, As normal the new book is in "new" Norwegian. My hope with the Norwegian Fjord Horse Foundation is to raise enough funds in the Educational Endowment to give a grant to have some of the books translated into English. I ask that any of you that are interested in translations of books to consider a donation to this Endowment fund. I have spoken to the authors of some of the popular books and they are willing to give permission (of course with a contact and compensation of sales) to the Foundation for translation. It is a matter of up front money to translate and then the sales of the English books would benefit the Foundation and (of course) the author. --- My dear husband did some translations of a book called "Horses in Norway" (for me)... if I get permission from the author... we will publish for the English speaking Fjord owners. There is great history about the horses in Norway in this book. It includes Fjords but it is not a fjord book, it is a horse book. Thanks for your question. Catherine Lassesen Hestehaven - The Horse Garden Southern Oregon Temp: 27 F Fjords are loving it. I am hating it. :-)

Re: The Evaluation Book on NFHR website
This message is from: "Beaver Dam Farm" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hello from Carol Rivoire at Beaver Dam Farm in Nova Scotia We had our first snowfall last night. Only about 4", but heavy so the power went out for about 8 hours. It didn't bother us much as we have the woodstove in the house, and all the horse's tanks were filled and the temp. stayed just above freezing. It being a snowy day today, I spent the morning on the computer and looked at the NFHR website to see what's new. -- The Evaluation Committee's excellent work, "The Evaluation Handbook" was new -- New to me anyway. I hadn't seen it. -- Frankly, I was very impressed. It's a good piece of work. Overall, I liked it a lot. There was one thing, however, that bugged me, and has bugged me in the Breed Standards for many a year now, but no matter how much I griped about it, nothing has changed. -- What I don't like and what I think is misleading and inadequate is the description of what the Evaluators are looking for when a Fjordhorse is trotted out for them. First of all is the description of the trot The Evaluation Handbook says the trot is . . . "A true two-beat gait. Being a powerful gait, the trot demonstrates the characteristic traits of speed, comfort and athletic ability. The trot comes naturally and is the most favored gait of the horse." I honestly think this is an inadequate description and should be evised. -- The trot should be "a powerful gait", but NOT necessarily a speedy gait. -- In my opinion, the trot should clearly show the power of the horse's hindquarters in the way he thrusts forward . . . The way he propels the movement forward. -- It does not need to be fast. It does need to be powerful and forward. -- Forward is not necessarily fast. -- I think this part is very unclear, and would lead some people who do not understand horse movement to simply push their horses for speed. And, I'm sorry, but I don't understand the reference to "COMFORT". I guess it means that the horse should be comfortable to sit to at the trot. -- Yes, this is great, but sometimes a big mover who is a very correct and very good mover is not comfortable to sit to. Not because he's jarring and rough, but simply because he has a very big stride. -- This is the case with some big moving Warmbloods, and there are some Fjords who have this same kind of movement. The last thing that I object to is the mention of "EXTRAVAGANT MOVEMENT" being undesirable. I find this in two places in the Handbook. -- What exactly does the Handbook mean by "extravagant movement."? -- In the beginning of the handbook, the writers explain how breed type and overall conformation is most important, and that "extravagant movement" (they also mention beauty and elegance) should never override the importance of type and conformation. -- I totally agree with this! I agree that no one thing such as a beautiful head, or a huge trot should ever override the importance placed on overall quality and breed type. However, further on in the Handbook where the writers list UNDESIRABLE TRAITS, they again list "extravagant movement". -- I wish somebody would tell me what is meant by this. * Does it mean high knee action like a Hackney, Saddlebred, or Morgan? -- If that's what it means, then I agree. Fjords should not move with high knee action. This is a big fault. Fjords should move like Warmbloods with a long, reaching stride. --- If the Evaluation Committee means high knee action when they speak of "extravagant movement", then they should say it like that. HIGH KNEE ACTION is a fault in Fjords. * Does extravagant movement mean a horse capable of giving a big extension at the trot? -- If that's what the Handbook means then, I beg to differ most vociferously. -- But, again, I do agree that a Fjord with a big extension at the trot should not be forgiven for lack of "breed type" or faults of conformation. The thing is that if a Fjord is capable of doing a big extended trot, and he has all the other qualities . . . . What I want to know is if such a orse --with all the other desirable qualities -- is going to get marked down because he has a big extended trot? -- Is it a fault? -- I sure hope not! I hope the Evaluation Committee can answer this for me. And I also hope that they will revise the Handbook in this regard to make the issue clearer for everybody. Kind Regards, Carol Rivoire
New record book
This message is from: "Douglas Knutsen" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hi again to all - I want to express my deep appreciation to Sandy, Phil, and all the others who worked to put together the new Evaluation Record Book. It was beautifully done, and, I'm sure, a whole lot of work. What a wonderful way to show the Fjord breed to the world! Thanks, Peg www.turnkeyhorsefarm.com Peg Knutsen www.elltel.net/kffjord/
Record Book
This message is from: "Ursula & Brian Jensen" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> We have had a few days to go through Vol 2 of the Record Book and work with the scores and accomplishments of some of these fine horses. As stated in the intro there are 7 Fjords who have attained S1 G1 status which is the highest possible award in the NFHR Evaluation program. These horses have been evaluated for Conformation and have gone through both the Introductory and Advanced levels in all three disciplines. BDF Obelisk BDF Lillehammer Prydarson Penfrydd's Raynor Ram's Lindemann Sandura SNF Bergen I'm happy to say that Penfrydd's Raynor has the highest average performance scores in the Advanced tests (English riding, Driving and Draft) That makes us happy and coinsidering the amount of energy , time and cost involved, it is a wonderful accomplishment for him and us. Probably by the time the next book comes out many more horses will have reached that level so I would love to see a page highlighting those horses. Since Versatility is the Hallmark of the Breed these animals have certainly proven that, . I'm glad others are enjoying this book as much as we are. There is nothing like having a tangible in-hand book to curl up with. No computer screen can compare. Books are still the best (IMO) Ursula & Brian Jensen Trinity Fjords Box 1032 Lumby BC, V0E 2G0 Canada 250-547-6303 [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://okjunc.junction.net/~ujensen/
Record Book II
This message is from: "Green Valley Farm" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Thanks a million to Sandy North for her determination and hard work to undertake the huge project of Record Book II. The Evaluation Committee and the BOD oversee this project but I can tell you that Sandy single handedly inputted every photo and score. Sandy researched printing companies to find the best at a reasonable price and prepared all the copy for them. After much research, Phillip Odden wrote the informative article on the History of The Fjord. Ann Sullivan was the main proofreader with some help from Catherine Lassesen and Lisa McGinley. Mike May provided the original data and answered a zillion questions. Beth Beymer and Sue North, Sandy's Mom, helped with data checking and proofing all thru the process. Without volunteers like Sandy North, the NFHR would not be what it is today! Hope you ordered your copy, enjoy it and tell Sandy Thank You! Sincerely, Sophie Fiedler and the Evaluation Committee

This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I just got my evaluation book and must say it was WELL DONE!! Congratulations Sandy, all your time and effort really paid off. Steve White and I had a blast last night looking at all the horses, their scores and giving our opinions about necks and shoulders etc. etc. What a great learning tool. Everyone who owns a Fjord should have one. I also received some of the new Fjord brochures with my book. They are really beautiful and do a great job showing off our Fjordies doing all the things they are good at (oh wait, I guess they did not include a photo of a Fjord eating, and we all know that is their specialty) AnywayGOOD JOB to all those involved!!

It is printed on CD, in PDF format, which should be readable or printable on almost all computers. Producing it this way allowed for lots of pictures, perhaps as many as 200, and the book runs over 400 pages. Last night I was printing it on my computer, thinking of the ghost of Johann Gutenberg watching over my shoulder, marvelling with me at the technology. When I started my wagon trip, eleven and a half years ago, I encountered more than a few people who hadn't seen a computer, much less my state of the art black and white, small screen laptop. Email, which I used then for the first time, was beyond imagining. So for this book to appear in this form follows from sophisticated technological origins! How could I have more been out of the present, to be ahead of my time and so far behind, traveling with horses! When I return next week I will start to ship copies to those who have prepaid, and to any other of us technological pioneers who can understand a book in this form. When I return, I can accept MC or Visa, or a check to: Camptown Harness, P O Box 255, Acworth NH 03601. The book is $15 plus $2.50 shipping and handling. I look forward to the brutal world of reviews Camptown Dave

This message is from: "Ron & Sherrie Dayton" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Howdy from Sunwood, Just to update you on the book progress. To date we have had nearly 50 farm respond to our project. We have five farm pages ready for print and expect more soon. We have not yet set a deadline for the pages so there is plenty of time. But like Christmas, it tends to sneak up on us. So when you find the time to get your pages to us we can get a better idea of the size and content of the book and get on with the details of printing and pricing it. I will have a few sample pages and further information on hand at the PNFPG Spring meeting on April 9th. With this early spring, it might be a good time to get some nice photo's of your farm and horses, and a really good time to include some babies. Well, have a swell spring. "Happy Trails" RD
Re: Norwegian Perspectives on Type - Exerpts from FHI book - Long
are extremely important and should be carefully assessed, as they are the bridge between the mid-section and the hindquarters. The transition between the loin and the croup should be flexible and blend smoothly together. The length of the coupling/loin should be short, yet strong and proportional to the back and the croup. The Hindquarters: The croup should be long, broad, well muscled and sloping. Too sloping or too flat are not desirable. The tail should not be set on too high or too low and it should be carried freely and naturally. The thighs should be sufficiently long, well muscled seen both from the side and from behind, and should be set as wide as the quarters. Legs: The forearm should be broad and well muscled. In the hind legs the thigh and gaskin muscling should be long and well developed as seen both from the side and from behind. Too long a gaskin is considered a drawback for a draught horse. The legs should be correctly aligned and with adequate bone. The joints and tendons must be clearly defined and dry. A short and firm cannon bone is desired. The cannon bones ought to be clean and dry, and should not be tied below the knee. The knee (carpal joint) should be large and well defined. The hock joint should be large, well developed and dry. Small ill defined hocks are not suitable for the breed. The point of the hock must be prominent when viewed from the side. Too straight or bowed hocks are objectionable. The fetlock joints should be strong and well defined. The pasterns should be strong and sufficiently long and sloping to give adequate support and elasticity. The hooves of the Fjord Horse should be well balanced and proportionately round and large, with good horse quality, the inside of the hoof wall may be slightly steeper than the outside. Good sound hooves are extremely important for the horse. The movements are particularly important for the horse, and must reflect the conformation in sufficient elasticity and impulsion to perform an effortless walk, trot and canter. The movements should be energetic, with good balance and cadence. The Fjord Horse must move freely in all three gaits. The canter should be balanced and free with supple and elastic forward movement. The trot shall be energetic, however excessive action is considered not typical for the breed. Gender characteristics: The Fjord Horse should have distinct gender characteristics; the stallion should be masculine and the mare feminine. *** There is much more information in this book regarding the history, colors and conformation of the Fjord Horse, but I thought I'd share part of the "Vision" or mission statement, if you will, of this particular FHI project: *** Maintaining and developing the Fjord Horse breed internationally requires a universal definition of the breeding goal as well as a mutual understanding of the evaluation process. The Fjord Horse breed has found supporters and enthusiasts around the world. This handbook can promote closer contact between persons and organisations, provide better education and training and assist in establishing international standards. Through the Fjord Horse International's Judges Commission, organisations and persons involved in evaluation, judging and breeding Fjords, have cooperated and contributed to this book, as all member countries realise there must be a common system of procedures and rules for evaluations... ...The members of the FHI Judges' Commission who collected and edited the contents of this handbook have contributed their services to Norges Fjordhestlag and all members of FHI, for the sole purpose of promoting the Fjord Horse. We must recognise that breeding and judging horses is a dynamic process with the potential for change over a period of time, yet the core standards for the Fjord Horse breed must always be maintained and used as a guide to further development. The Fjord Horse is to be found all over the world. Norges Fjordhestlag is in charge of the Mother Studbook and has overall responsibility for the breed. Due to its global distribution, Norges Fjordhestlag, Norsk Hestesenter and Fjord Horse International are increasingly responsible for keeping the balance between preserving the breed and improving the procedures for the breeding and judging/evaluation of Fjord Horses. An overall goal will be closed Stud Books for Fjord Horses in all countries. *** Had a good trip, but glad to be home.

Re: Record Book II
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] This message is from: "starfirefarm" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I also support an on-line format and would like to see the data integrated with the pedigree site (I've even offered to help with that effort). Perhaps we can figure out a way to provide earlier results on-line and then follow up with a printed version every 3-4 years. I think adding the online format for results would be very timely. Once the format is coded it is easy to add updates and would be much quicker than publishing a book. The hard copies are wonderful resources, but because you have to do printings they are always limited in numbers and hard to decide when to reprint. An online version is available to everyone. I just sent an email to Mike May yesterday offering to volunteer to help with the website as I am a website designer; I would be glad also to work on this project if approved. As I was writing this Margaret's email suggestion of selling electronic copies of the book arrived; what a good idea and another way to generate income. -- Genie Dethloff
New Record Book
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] It was great reading that the new Record Book might be coming out this year. May I make a suggestion since the cost seems to be driving the print run. I would be very happy to buy an electronic book versus hard copy. While I realize that the Record Book is heavy on the graphics, it still is going to be generated as an electronic file in order to be printed anyway. Many large government publications are now available in electronic form because of printing costs. Obviously this is a useful document, but wouldn't it be nice to have a choice of format? An electronic record book would also be quite easy for the NFHR to sell in future years when the printed stock is gone. I hope this option will be offered.

Re: Record Book -
This message is from: "starfirefarm" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Pat, The process for ordering is just now being worked out -- so, keep your checkbook handy and poised for that information. Mostly, I wanted to let folks know the current scheduling thoughts and the fact that the book IS coming, and relatively soon. A little lead time might allow some folks to put aside a few $$$ now and not be caught by surprise when the ordering starts. If it is a pre-order only printing then there will be a relatively short window for orders if we go to print in late Spring/early Summer.

Re: Record Book -
This message is from: "Pat Holland" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Thank you Sandy for explaining the process of which a record Book is produced. I did not know that the BOD said it would support the project but it would only print the number of books that were pre-ordered. When one "pre-orders" do we pay for the book ahead of time? Thank you for mentioning this, as I will contact Mike tomorrow to order one. Or who do we contact? I feel I am a very active and interested member of NFHR and I am asking these questions?
Record Book II
This message is from: "starfirefarm" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hi all, I generally work behind the scenes and don't follow the list much. Beth does that for us -- but she mentioned that the Record Book was a topic of discussion so I've read a few posts and thought this might be a good time for me to jump in for a quick word. First -- for the folks that only make it to the first paragraph of these emails... Please -- SUPPORT THE PROJECT BY BUYING A RECORD BOOK ...or two, or three ! When the Record Book II was undertaken, the BOD said it would support the project but that it would only print the number of books that were pre-ordered. If they stick to that, be sure you don't miss out I don't think the ordering process has been worked out yet -- as soon as it has, I'll make sure someone puts that info to the list. If the sales are strong, then there will be more support for upcoming Record Books and if the economics are favorable, I think the books could be printed more frequently. The 4 year wait was due more to economics than an inability to get the data together into a book format. I personally feel very strongly about having a professionally printed version of the data. I also support an on-line format and would like to see the data integrated with the pedigree site (I've even offered to help with that effort). Perhaps we can figure out a way to provide earlier results on-line and then follow up with a printed version every 3-4 years. I sure appreciate all the support I hear for the Record Book II. Wait until you see it! The photography in this book is much better because each evaluation hired someone to take conformation shots of each horse. A good picture often allows you to see the conformation of the horse better than some of the more amateur shots we had last time around. There is just a wealth of information -- you'll be able to follow many horses as they progress through their performance tests. There are a small number of horses who have achieved the highest performance rating possible (S1 G1) -- all of it is documented for your browsing pleasure!! And... contrary to popular belief, I am not doing this by myself. I admit I am at the center of the effort because I am doing the book layout and am entering the data from all the evaluations. But... Artilces are being written by members of the Evaluation Committee, Mike May has provided invaluable support in my quest for the most accurate data possible (though, mistakes are bound to happen), Sophie Fiedler has helped coordiate the entire effort and most recently, Ann Sullivan of Connecticut stepped up and volunteered to help with the proof reading. So, as with the last edition, this is really very much a team effort. The goal is to have something ready for print in late Spring and with any luck in folks hands by early to mid-summer. The articles are still being written and I haven't quire finished entering the 2004 evaluation data. As was mentioned earlier, the book does cover 12 evaluations from 2001 to 2004 and should be close to 200 pages -- which is twice as many as the first record book. We're all working very hard to get this book into your hands. As the risk of being redundant -- PLEASE, SUPPORT THE PROJECT -- these books make great gifts and you might want to buy two in case your first one gets worn out. I'll bet there are more than a few of the first Record Book that are a bit well-worn, eh? And Don't wait for a Second Printing -- it's a miracle that there is even a First Printing.

Pedigree Search, Record book, Stallion Prevalence
This message is from: "Green Valley Farm" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> In regard to stallion prevalence, to date there have been 18 NFHR Evaluations since 1994. I believe more than 60 stallions have been evaluated receiving red and blue ribbons for conformation. There are also imported stallions who have received their breeding license from Denmark, Holland, and Norway. The 2003 NFHR stallion report lists 108 breeding stallions of which 28 are AI licensed. Any of these stallions could be looked up on the NFHR pedigree search to see how many offspring they have. This says nothing of quality but it is interesting to see the numbers. We are thankful to Lori Albrough for developing the pedigree search. The Evaluation Committee hopes to one day have the evaluation scores as part off this program which would be readily available and could be updated in a timely manner. Having your mare evaluated gives you an unbiased list of her strengths and weaknesses. Breeding to an evaluated stallion or a licensed stallion you will know his strengths and weaknesses. Hopefully any offspring are at least as good as it's dam and sire. There are many more issues to consider but this is a good start. In the Fjord Digest #019, Carol Rivoire talked about the Dutch Studbook and how they measure the character and attitude (temperament) of a horse through the performance tests. This is also true with the NFHR Evaluation Performance tests. Record Book I is a wonderful tool to see pictures and scores of the evaluated fjords. Sandy North deserves a gold medallion for all of her single handed work on Record Book II which will be completed in the near future. This book will cover 12 evaluations and have great articles on how to use the scores for breeding. This knowledge can also be useful for purchasing a horse. The articles on color and youngstock should be of interest to all. Hopefully many of you will want to purchase the Record Books as a documentary of some of the best fjords in America. Mike May has a few copies of Record Book I still available. I just received a packet from Birgit Mortensen who is Secretary of Fjordhesteavlen i Danmark. What a wealth of information! It includes the new stallion guide and 2 small books about the Danish index-figures covering evaluated mares who have been active since 1990 and another with stallions and foals born in 2004, Stallion testing scores and a Danish Fjord Magazine.. The Fjordhorse Association in Denmark has an electronic studbook called WinHorse which is much like our pedigree search except it also includes descriptions from evaluations and certain horse shows. If you are interested in joining the Danish Association contact "Birgit Mortensen" [EMAIL PROTECTED] the cost is about $62. Sophie Fiedler
Re: stallion prevalence - Evals and Record Book
This message is from: "starfirefarm" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> "Hey Ruthie, Did you have any of your Fjords evaluated this year? And have you had them evaluated in previous evaluations? I sue wish we could get the latest Evaluation results..When I bought the book I understood that it was to be added to with each subsequent evaluation. It sure would be nice to be able to see ALL the results shortly after the evaluations are finished!"<< It would be nice to have the results immediately. Unfortunately (as usual) there have been some glitches along the way. Sandy North is currently hard at work (burning the midnight oil after her regular job and on weekends) entering the final data for the the next Record Book, then there is proofing and it will be off to the printers. This next RB will contain data from all of the evaluations since 2000. If I counted correctly, it will include 12 evaluations. Plenty to compare, along with the initial RB. There also continues to be talk about publishing the data on-line and working out the details along those lines. If we were a large enough organization, such as the AQHA, or the APHA, or whatever, we might be able to hire a full staff to ensure these things get done, but comparatively speaking, our membership is quite small and we still have to rely on volunteers to get a lot of the work done. Along the way, communication can become stymied for one reason or another. Like the lack of communication/information passed along about changes in the evaluation procedures that Margaret Bogie was talking about (I'm not sure what specifically she was talking about, but I know that some changes had been made) the NFHR can always work towards better communication (whether it be concerning evaluations, or publishing the meeting minutes on-line in an appropriate time frame.) I know that these are issues that the NFHR Board of Directors have taken on during their recent face-to-face meeting. I, like you, am looking forward to seeing the results of the meeting published.

Barb Lee's Book
This message is from: Jean Ernest <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I think I gave her old email address. here is her description of the book and her address and phone as she posted on the CD-L awhile back. The book can't be found in any bookstore, etc. You have to get it from her. Jean in Faibanks, Alaska ** >From Barb Lee, Mon, 7 Jun 2004 Lots of you know me as the "mad scientist" of harnessing, and have put up with my theories and progress reports as my "partner in crime," Rob Johnson in Australia and I have worked together at optimizing harnessing methods and techniques. Well, the sum of our experience of working together for six years on "balanced draft" is finally available in a slim new volume of about 60 pages entitled "Balanced Draft - Breast Collars - Neck Collars". This book is not like any other book available on harnessing, to my knowledge. It collects information that is sometimes only identifiable as "gut level understanding" from the past as well as the present, and articulates it all in one place, perhaps for the first time. It explains firstly the urgency of harnessing the horse to the vehicle so that he is in balance with his equipment, as a saddle horse must be in balance with his rider to achieve optimal comfort and performance. This philosophy is called "Balanced Draft." It explores the history of how we came to understand Balanced Draft, how we researched and tested it to prove it to ourselves, and how to easily identify Balanced Draft when it is achieved. The rest of the book is devoted to dispelling the myths and mysteries of selecting a breast collar or a neck collar, how each is correctly paired to a vehicle based on performance and comfort as opposed to "turnout", and how each affects the horse's locomotion. It examines the whys and wherefores of some vehicle types and how they are either limited or appropriate in their intended use. Finally, there is a section on fitting neck collars and hames. The text has been examined by experts in the field of equine locomotion and draft, for both editorial appeal and fundamental accuracy and the sentiment has been "this needs to be out there." There are lots of photos and illustrations and the text is in very plain, non-technical language. Barb Lee Nearside Harness, Inc. [EMAIL PROTECTED] 503-631-2862
Chimacum Tack/Barb Lee book
This message is from: "David McWethy" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I'll add a word about Chimacum Tack. In my visit to Washington in December I finally met Janey Amdal, of Chimacum. We had talked on the phone before, and she had given me some excellent leads for things that were helpful while I was there, including the realtor who was terrific. I now count Janey as a good friend, and in addition, we will be working together on some aspects of harness. Janey primarily sells harness at the extremes, for draft and for minis. We have made an agreement that she will take over the selling of Camptown Harness for equines under 12 hands. I have done this because she is already more involved in minis than I am, and I know from her reputation and from talking to her, that she will do an excellent job representing this harness. I will continue to sell our harness for the large pony and horse sizes. I recommend also that you contact Janey about Old Mac shoes, which she stocks. Her website is www.tinytac.com About Barb Lee's book. It will be the definitive work on harnessing in order to have the proper line of draft from collar or breast collar to singletree. If you are serious about driving and haven't read it, I recommend getting it or talking to someone who has read it to explain the concept. Camptown Dave

This message is from: "Ron & Sherrie Dayton" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Thanks to all who have responded so favorably to our project. We are really looking forward to it. We had a number of thoughts, questions and concerns we hope to clarify early on. The book is a Non-profit venture. There is NO charge for the two pages. The book will be in color. There will be NO advertising. Each farm will have two pages, one for text and one for photo's. Farm name is okay. We hope to have as many farms represented as we can get from North America and some from overseas as well to show how the Fjord Horse is used in many venues and climates, working, playing or just as back yard pets! What-ever,. The cost of the book should be under $ 20. It will have a spiral binding so it will lay flat like a cook book. Each turn of the page will show a new farm. Send us your text and photo's on CD or attachment to E=mail or just send the originals. You can format your pages (camera ready) (print ready) or we can format it for you. What we thought would look nice is to have a large photo of your farm in the background with some text over the top with your family and Fjords in the foreground. You can show your equipment, carts, wagons, farm hitch etc. Use your imagination and think about how you want others to view your farm , family, and Fjords, Be creative and if you need help let us know.

New Book being created
This message is from: "Ron & Sherrie Dayton" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Howdy Friends, just a short note to let those in the Fjord community know that Sherrie & I are about to undertake a big project and we need your help. In the next year or so we intend to create a book of Fjord Farms, we are calling it "Fjords, Farms and Friends" It will contain, at each turn of a page, a farm with information and photos depicting the Fjord horse in many settings from across North America and some from overseas. The idea of the book has been on our minds for a few years now and we want to include as many farms as we can. The main focus of the book will be to inform and entertain you and not to be used as an advertising tool for any one farm. This is a non-profit undertaking and the cost of the finished book will be only enough to cover expenses. If you are interested in listing your farm in the book contact us for more information and we will be glad to include your farm. We will have farms of the past and we are now looking for old photos and text for this. The book may take up to two years to complete so there is no real hurry, we just want to do a good job with it and provide a book that can be handed down to your family members.

This message is from: "Douglas Knutsen" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hi all - "The Crystal Ball of Equine Color - a precalculated reference guide to over 400 coat color crosses," is finally available. Here's what the publisher says about it - "The Crystal Ball of Equine Color is an easy-to-read, simplified text for expert horsemen and novices alike. It is designed to be an invaluable reference tool for fingertip management when breeding for color. Hundreds of hours of genetic mapping are already done for you while genetic nomenclature is kept to a minimum. It does not assume a firm understanding of genetic principles and competency in mapping conclusions in the reader. By following a few easy steps, you will find yourself amid clear answers to coat color crosses rather than a deluge of more questions." The author is Jim C. Hembree, B.S. Since I have not seen the book yet, I can't personally recommend it, but when I spoke with the author he seemed quite knowledgeable. At $39.95, it is pricey, but it does, after all, have a picture of our yellow dun filly, OH Yenna, in it, so it must be special You can find it at www.circlehpublishing.com . I will give a review after I see it. Otherwise, we are having our usual Spring around here, sunny, windy, or both.

This message is from: "Dave and Patti Walter" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hi List, Just had to comment on the coloring book that the NFHR put out. I just recieved the ones I ordered and was s pleased with them. WOW, I was not expecting them to be so nice. I knew the pictures would be nice, but it's much more than that, it's such a nice book, with great information for 1st time horse owners and puzzles and games in the back. They were just much more than I expected. Hats off to all those who worked on them-great job! Patti Jo Walter Francis Creek Fjords Two Rivers WI -where we FINALLY got snow, yeahaw.

Sadie, saddle, book, update from Lindenfels in der Odenwald
This message is from: "Linda Lehnert" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Grüßen aus Lindenfels in der Odenwald where we have been having a glorious Frühling (spring) for the last 2 weeks! Peg, I was very sorry to hear about the loss of your foal, but was glad to hear Sadie is recovering. We lost a beautiful Morgan foal to wobbler foal syndrome less than 12 hours after he hit the ground some years ago and I know how it feels. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Linda Wollowitz, I would be interested in seeing a picture of your Norwegian saddle. Would it be possible for you to privately e-mail me a photo? Gail Russell, that book on e-bay made me homesick. I grew up with a Norwegian mother and a German father in a Norwegian Lutheran church and once a year we had a big dinner and all of the immigrant parishioners wore their national dress. I can't recall which was better, the food or the company! Both were outstanding. Jean Gayle, that book you recommended sounds interesting. I will try to find it in the USAREUR library system. I saw the orthopedic surgeon Tuesday. He took x-rays and said I have severe arthrosis, narrowing of the joint interspaces, and showed me a place on each knee and ankle where the narrowing is especially severea with almost no space between the joints at that point. It is aggravated by walking and standing. Since I moved, I was doing alot more walking and standing in my apartment, packing before and then unpacking, which is what triggered the acute exacerbation. Fortunately, since this is an arthritic condition, I do not need any type of surgery, but need to stay down more (very boring). When I go out, I wear knee braces. I still do not have the pain under enough control to try to start riding Ricka. I desperately need to get well enough to start riding as the exercise would be good for my overall physical condition and, as we all know, riding is fun and relaxing and thus beneficial. I have an old McClellan saddle (an original, antique US Army issue made in 1909 at the Rock Island Arsenal), so I can ride without my feet in the stirrups if having my feet in the stirrups aggravates the knee and ankle pain. Or I can always ride bareback. Ricka's a good, calm Fjord with a nice wide back, so she's very suitable for bareback. I have come to the definite conclusion that I won't be able to show her. If I want her shown, I will ask Herr Wolbert to recruit a teenager to show her for me in western pleasure. Linda in Lindenfels Add photos to your messages with MSN 8. Get 2 months FREE*.

van Bon book/mounted games
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Lynn Binkowski) Folks talking about van Bon's book reminded me of a photo in the book that has always intrigued me. On page 149 there is a photo of a group of riders on fjords playing some sort of game with a HUGE ball...the ball comes up to the fjords' chests in diameter! Does anyone know what this is all about? Do the riders kick the ball? Or do the fjords!? Looks like a lot of fun... -Lynn and Trina in FREEZING CT

I find myself agreeing with some things you've written that I already knew about and learning about other things I've never even thought about. Just love that book and figure if you can do it, a book on training would be another excellent book to add to your selection of writings.

Trick Horse Video/Book
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Since I'm interested in teaching my ponies some tricks, I've been searching around to find who offers videos/books. I'm the sort that learns best by seeing and reading (I can't do it well by just reading). I thought it would be a blast, to teach a 3 or 5 minute routine some of my party ponies.Perhaps do something like have the pony give a short performance before giving rides at a birthday party -- with the birthday child being the recipient or person the pony does the tricks with. Then we'd continue and give pony rides for the party. I think that is something the kids will go wild over, and a very nice touch to our party services! (No one else does that around here! grin) Allen Pogue very thoughtfully referred this sight to me - and I wanted to pass it along. (Thanks, Allen! mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]">[EMAIL PROTECTED] host of 2 eLists for trick horse training - [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED]) Larry Gagnon was "The Frontiersman" on TV with Roy Rogers and Gene Autry (Adventure Theatre) - the show was 5 nights a week, for a year. He's got about 50 years of trick horse experience (he's now in his 80's) -- has done TV, rodeos, circuses and commercials...trained many horses and actors. His book is $26.95 and his video is $39.95, or both for $50.00 - with 25 tricks in all. http://www.geocities.com/frontersmm/";>"The Frontiersman" http://www.trickhorse.com/video.htm";>http://www.trickhorse.com/video.htm The only other trick horse video/book offer I've come across on the internet is Carole of Singin' Saddles' websitehttp://www.trickhorse.com/";>http://www.trickhorse.com/She does not have as much time or credentials to offer quit as impressive as Larry's, but is another resource. Her collection of videos cost $39.95 each, and there's 6 videos (about $240 for the series), her book is $23.95. Looks like about the same number and type of tricks, all together. If you know of another trick horse trainer, who has a video/book offer (or who does not) -- share with the list! This is a field I have found is hard to research!
