This message is from: Jean Ernest [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dave Mcwethy has Camptown Harness: http://www.horseharness.com/ Since he also has Fjords he has harness designed to fit Fjords! Do look at his website! Jean in Fairbanks, Alaska, with 2 snow at last (At least?) Dave, per this message, who are you and do you have pictures on the web anywhere of your harness work? Also do you have a Fjord to fit to so I know I am getting one that will hopefully fit a Fjord and not a standard size horse, etc. Jean Ernest Fairbanks, Alaska mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

This message is from: Skeels, Mark A (MED) [EMAIL PROTECTED] I don't know much about fit, but Dave on this list makes excellent harness. Dave, per this message, who are you and do you have pictures on the web anywhere of your harness work? Also do you have a Fjord to fit to so I know I am getting one that will hopefully fit a Fjord and not a standard size horse, etc. Basically interrested in a starter kit, not a show harness. Basic leather no frills or silver beads etc to run up the cost. How much are they, all usual questions that I don't know to ask. Most of my horses are 14-14.2 somewhat thick necked but not as thick as my stallion, who is real thick. Probably the typical Fjord on pasture that needs some good training to loose 200 lbs or so. Do you need measurements, if so what ones and exact locations. Thanks for any information. Mark Skeels

Thank you in advance, Shannon Kaplan Hi Shannon, it was great meeting you at Horsing Around. I'm going there for a lesson tomorrow. :) I also would like to learn to drive. I don't know much about fit, but Dave on this list makes excellent harness. Do you go to CC Ruth for your feed? There is a flyer I picked up (but it went through the laundry so I need another one!!!) about driving clinics in early January. First clinic is without horse. If you're interested, I'll get a flyer for you when I go back and get one for myself. Nice to see you on the list. :) Pamela A HREF=http://hometown.aol.com/northhorse/index.html;Northern Holiday Horses/A
Re: fjordhorse-digest V2002 #292
This message is from: Jean Ernest [EMAIL PROTECTED] There is a wealth of information on harnesses, collars, carts, etc. on the Recreational Equine Driving List. Some members are experimenting with lines of Draught, cart balance, etc., some very interesting discussions. I really recommend reading some of these discussions and looking into the Archives and files , FAQ's etc. of this list. Harness maker Barb Lee of Nearside Harness is presently in Australia doing more research on all this with Australian Harness makers and drivers. There is information on how to measure for a collar, a whole dissertaion on Harness available to download and print out, etc. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/RecreationalEquineDriving/ If you don't want to be receiving a bunch more emails, just sign up to read the messages on the web page. There you also have access to all the files, photos, ans archives also. Jean in Fairbanks, Alaska, where two whole inches of snow (finallly) have made a beautiful winter wonderland. But we need a LOT more! +6 degrees. now want to expand into driving. We would like any information on harnesses for sale for light pleasure driving as well as how to fit collars for heavier driving. Any information would be appreciated!! Thank you in advance, Shannon Kaplan Jean Ernest Fairbanks, Alaska mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
