THANKS For the picture that was GREAT to see them.  As far as replacement, I'm
not sure I have written my contact but he's so busy I never get a reply.  I
had heard thru the grapevine they bought a couple of geldings.  BUT...that
doesn't make sense to me because Sasha HATES geldings and only ever wants
stallions.  BUT I don't really know forsure, thanks again for sharing that was
great to open that this morning.

Getting old, didn't go to the show this morning, it was raining and told
myself I wasn't going if it was. Silas could have cared less. Having Francis
Creek Fjords 1 and 2 is getting to be LONG hours.  I have Rokida's Niklaus
boarded at the neighbors facility with 4 outsides mares that wanted to bred to
him. We got 3 bred, the 4th one nope.  Now we just wait until we can check
them.

Ole has his first conception of the year, Peg Spears' Mare, Sparrow is leaving
today.  What a lovely mare, gonna be one fine baby!  She is replaced with
Diane Bell's Mare Sara.  BIG BIG mare, 15+hh. She has had 2 Ole colts and is
hoping for a filly.  Ole is happily awaiting the 5 more mares he gets, their
still is room if you are considering breeding your mare.

On another note I just have to add for the millionth time, how fortunate I am
to have Fjords and especially Ole.  My tractor broke when I was gonna drag my
indoor.  BUT, have no fear I just hitched Ole up to the drag and he does a
better job then that tractor any day!

Does anyone know if they are using the fjords in the circus yet? Ringling Bros
are in Hershey, PA this week and I would like to go see them, especially if
they are using the fjords.

Hi Patti-

Would it be ok to include this in the next newsletter?  I found the original
news article from the accident and would like to include this too.

Also, can you give me Joni G.'s email address.

Thanks,
Martha

 Just got a message from Dr. Lindsay,head vet for the Ringling Brothers
Circus.
 Unfortunately it was just a message and I was not able to speak with him.
The
 two Fjords that were killed by the train in Ohio, were Ivor and Bjorge,
 previously owned by Ken Raspotnik in Wi.  They were 1/2 brothers.

 Dr. Linsday said it really shook everyone up, it was just devasting to the
 group. They were VERY fond of the Fjords and they were doing WONDERFUL in
 their act.  He did not say if they would be looking for 2 more or not.

 He said he would try and email me later, he has been very busy and things
have
 been hectic around there lately he said.  Boy, seems like everyone is too
busy
 in the world lately.

 So, that is the update I have on the circus horses, very sad indeed.

Hey List, WOW, how sad about the circus stallions!  Very tragic, I just
emailed the head vet of the circus to see what he can tell me about this
tragic accident.  Sometimes he doesn't get back to me real soon, he doesn't or
can't always check emails, if that is the case I'll call him later in the week
and get back to you all. Very sad. :-(
