Re: fjordhorse-digest V2000 #247
This message is from: SueFreivald [EMAIL PROTECTED] Just wanted to share a bit of fjord-joy. The vet was out today. We have four horses and one is a Fjord -- my first, purchased this spring from Julie Will. He needed his teeth floated and held his head down and his mouth open for the vet, who was almost in shock! He has only seen/worked on one other Fjord and said he was equally good. Later on today, the gelding (MVF Venn) and I were riding in the woods -- spooked some deer (they didn't spook US!), and later got tangled in some vines. Couldn't get out forward or back out, pretty well wrapped around his hind legs, He tried to shake them off, gently and then just stood stock still until I could get him untangled. Lifted feet as asked, stayed quiet as I unwound and pushed them down. My fault for getting into the pickle in the first place, but HE was absolutely GOLDEN. In thirty years of riding, I have never had a horse that had it all as he does -- willing, sensible, strong, moves out beautifully, straight reins, neck reins, responds beautifully to leg aids, drives like a prince and jumps willingly and well. I just had to share my joy with those of you who really know and appreciate the breed, and to publically say Thanks to Julie for matching us up so well. Sue Freivald In the beautiful Finger Lakes of New York

Re: fjordhorse-digest V2000 #247
This message is from: Ellen Davidson [EMAIL PROTECTED] I don't know if this is good or bad. When I was young,I bought a statue of a Fjord thinking it was so beautiful. I never saw any of these horses in real life for probably 20 years. When I finally saw them in Wisconsin at the Mid-west Horse Fair,I cried. I am very very poor,timid rider with little training myself and no horse training experience. We decided to buy a baby and were lucky enough to meet the Hotovys. We bought TUF Leka and the whole neighborhood loved her. As I worked with her growing up,I kept wondering if this is what horse training was like. Clippers, I don't care. Saddle,I don't care. Whatever we asked,we never got a bad response. Now I take care of the farrier,feeding,worming,shots,training and I ask my husband to go to a judged obstacle ride with me. Leka is four and I wanted to get her out and about. Well my husband gets first in breed, first in age group, and reserve champion without ever practicing obstacles at home with her. I got nothing. I'm never going to hear the end of this,but I'm proud of both of them. Ellen Davidson in Va.

Re: fjordhorse-digest V2000 #247
This message is from: Sue Harrison [EMAIL PROTECTED] When I am Old. I shall wear diamonds And a wide brimmed straw hat With ribbons and flowers on it And I shall spend my social security On white wine and carrots And sit in the alley way of my barn And listen to the horses breathe. I will sneak out in the middle of a summer night And ride the dappled mare Across the moonstruck meadow, If my old bones will allow. And when people come to call, I will smile and nod, As I walk them past the gardens to the barn And show, instead, the flowers growing there In stalls fresh-lined with straw. I will learn to shovel and sweat and Wear hay in my hair as if it were a jewel. And I will be an embarrassment to all Who look down on me Who have not yet found the peace in being free To love a horse as a friend, A friend who waits at midnight hour With muzzle and nicker and patient eyes For the kind of woman that I will be When I am old. By Lou Cadwell I thought you all would enjoy this poem as much as I did. Sue( Desert Storm's mom)
