Renate gave birth to a nice colt on the eve/night of the 9th.  The sire is
Engar.  Colt and mare doing great, but did certainly surprise us by coming a
bit early.  No waxing etc, but all is well.  He is a friendly little colt, and
a brown dun.  Was hoping for a Red dun as Renate had one a few years back, and
it is one of my favorite colors, but totally happy all is well with mom and
son.  Since he was born on our 10th anniversary, we may call him MF Solum from
the church in Norway where we were married.  ooohhh, so sentimental.  :

On another note, the Rainbow Bridge became a reality for us the same morning
Solum was born, as Maria's pony died.  She had lost a colt by breech on
Tuesday, then Thursday went into severe colic, - either impacted or more
likely a twist.  Was for sure keeping an eye on her after loosing her colt,
looking for problems like founder and uterine infection etc, and of course
colic is a possibility as well, but oh, those things come so quick.  She was
tough as nails this little gal, we fought for her for 2 whole days, doing all
the usual at the clinic, tubing etcetcetc, but she could not pull thru.  So,
one sad little girl here at the farm as she just loved her April.  Fjords are
still to big for her, so we will be looking for another pony soon, when all
heals over.  A new foal and a new kitten helps out a bit.  Good ponies are
hard to come by, and she was quite bonded to this one at her young age.

Onwards,

Janne in sunny and hot ND.



Bragda's 8th .. it's a boy!

2004-06-27 Thread Cheryl Beillard
This message is from: Cheryl Beillard [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I don't know how it slipped my mind , just been major confusion here this
last week, but I did want to report that our beautiful mare BRAGDA who came
to me courtesy of Julie Will, gave birth at 1 am last Thursday, to a colt.

A is our first FELIX SON -- so far we have had only fillies by Felix.  He
is as yet unnamed but not unnoticed by every other horse on the farm .. we
were concerned at the fact that he didn't nurse for  3 hours on arrival, but
he's made up for it since.  Poor Bragda scarcely has 10 minutes to catch her
breath and a bite to eat before he's back drinking again.  The 3 babes (and
I do mean babes) from last summer, all hang out over the fence watching
the back door of the barn for his nibs to appear.  Zahra, Bragda's foal from
last year, is clearly upset that she's lost her spot as #1 in Bragda's eyes.
The older horses keep their eyes glued to the foal paddock from their field,
as well.  We're all fascinated, it seems.

He arrived on Howard Fiedler's birthday - he of Green Valley fame, by the
way.  And the connection will be forever in our minds as we were delighted
to be able to help Howard celebrate (despite being a teensy bit sleep
deprived).  He was here, along with the rest of the crew up here to attend
Pat Wolfe's workshop last week .. and it was a great evening.

It is always wonderful to bring Fjord people together, we all have our
stories and our shared interest and it feels like 'family' within minutes.
Any of you up here visiting in Ontario should consider yourselves welcome at
any time, we always have a guestroom available for Fjord people in transit!
Although you might have to make a fair detour to get here!  : )

A massive update of our websit in terms of pictures from last year and
this - plus getting the full catalogue of our marathon carriages online, is
long overdue .. SO anyone interested in a Felix son, out of one of the top
mares in North America, should contact me privately .. and I'll send you
some pictures .. he has Felix's beautiful head and good shoulder ..
altogeher, very nice!   :  )

He will be very well priced too, as we have to cut back a bit on our herd
this fall .. we've outgrown our capacity to house horses over the winter -- 
a key point in this climate! and I want to focus more on DRIVING and the
carriage business.   We will have details on two older, trained mares also
for sale on the website soon.

Now back to the inevitable extra chores that go wth tending to a new
arrival.  With a smile of course!  And I'm watching those hind feet, Peg, as
I don't think I could accomplish half those tasks you listed with only one
hand working!

The PMU fjord mare, Tyne, that I adopted earlier this year gave birth to a

here 
a few months that she would foal in the dark of night, but no, after eating a 
full breakfast she laid down and gave birth and immediately wanted lunch, 
that's a fjord for you not going to miss a meal for any reason. The vet has 
already checked him and all is well. 
I will now be able to go to Starfire next weekend and visit Beth and Sandy

Yes, she is a Fjord.  I referred to her as grey because, currently, the grey
dun fjords are not referred to as grey dun, but as grey (as in the NFHR
documents about color.)

I missed the part of Karen Keith's e-mail where she was talking about a breed
other than a fjord, so my apologies for the misunderstanding.  As far as I
understand with other breeds, one would need one grey parent to produce a grey.

Yes, I was talking about true grey horses, such as in Lipizzaners. In this 
case we were talking about a warmblood foal rather than a Fjord.  The grey 
gene is a dominant and, if present, will express itself.  So if you have a 
non-grey baby out of one or two grey parents, that baby is not carrying the 
grey gene and has no grey gene to pass on to its progeny.


As far as grey Fjords, they are a black base coat with the dun dilution, no 
grey gene involved.  What in Fjords is called a grey dun would be called 
any number of names in the non-Fjord world:  grullo, silver grullo, blue 
dun, black dun, lobo dun.


Way more than anyone wanted to know.  :^)

Cheers!

I will be showing Prins at a local show that I am a co-chairperson of, the 
Oregon Gold Horse Show.  It is an open show, but has showcase classes for 
Fjords and Haflinger horses.  We (us central OR Fjords  Haflinger owners) 
started this show just because there are so few shows where anyone even knows 
what these horses are, as well as because driving classes are so scarce in our 
part of the country.  This year is our second (hopefully annual) show.  We are 
hoping that this show will continue to grow to eventually be an all Fjord  
Haflinger show.

Been slow getting this one out, but we had our last foal for the year, born 
June 6th.
Both foals this year are colts.  Different in temperament as night and 
day.it's amazing how much influence mom has on them.  One mom is clam and 
laid back...the other mom has a few 'short circuits'  LOL  
Both are handsome, healthy, big boyswho will be for sale after weaning.
Dam's are:  White Roses' Miss Thunder  And  White Roses' Matilda   Sire 
to both, is our stallion:  Drafn  ( if you'd like to look up their 
bloodlines on the NFHR website pedigree search page. )
Life sure seems busier with 2 foals on the farm so close in agebut maybe 
it just seems that way because of how much time I spend just WATCHING them at

reg. name will be DRAFN'S ARKIN  (pending NFHR acceptance) Arkin is 
Norwegian meaning : The Eternal King's Son.
Arkin will be for sale after he is weaned.
I don't have a website set up to show pictures of him, but if you want to see 
him, write me privately and I'll gladly send you pictures or any other 
information you'd like to have.

Hi folksWanted to share my good news, then read John and Martie 
Bolinski's SAD  newsnow I feel bad.  John and Martie your loss just makes 
me all the more thankful for my blessings! 
My mare is due June 17th.  This is her first time.  I can tell she's going to 
go early...she's been HUGE for months, and her udder has filled in and waxed 
up.I have a feeling it's going to be today/tonight.  It's pouring here so 
I keep her inside even though I had planned to let her birth at pasture.  We 
had plans to go out with friends.so I checked her at 11am, noticed her 
udder was really round todayand very waxed up teats.  I made sure her 
stall was nicely padded with straw, she had plenty of hay and water, and 
left.  While I'm away I'm thinking tonight will be the nightwhat I'll 
take to the barn when I get home, how cold it's going to be with the rain, 
etc.  We get home later then plannedit's now after 8pm, when I thought 
I'd be home by 5pm.  I go change my shoes, and coatget to the 
stalland SURPRISE.he's already here.   This first time mom is doing 
WONDERFULno help, seems to have had no problems I'm sorry I missed 
it, but sure glad she did OK with out me.  He's a BIG boy34inc tall.  
Strong, can't even see a rib on this porkchop :)  I'd say he's been here a 
few hours...pretty much dried except his bum, and he's pretty feisty!
I'm sure glad he's here, even if he was earlyand I missed it!  His aunt 
is due with in the next few weeks too, maybe I'll get to see that one be born.
Time to think of a name for the big guy now  I'll let you know what 
we come up with :)

Looks like his name will be Kasey. Ori was bred to Quad-L's Kaiser and
this little guy is strong, confident and friendly.   We are having so much fun
with our 1st foal.It's Ori's 10th ... she's an awesome mother and has him
well in hand by his 2nd day.

We are of course being entertained for hours watching him frolick and play,
nurse then fall in a heap and go to sleep.   Ok, so I haven't gotten anything
done for the last 2 weeks while I was waiting for him, why should I get
anything done now?  lol

This is so much fun ... I know that most of you know just how wonderful it
is!!!

At about 9:30 last night (5-30-2000) our Ellinor presented us with a 
beautiful, healthy colt!  Our mares seem to be good about foaling at a
decent 
hour so that we can be there!  He was up on his feet all by himself in less 
than a half hour.  This morning I measured him, and he stands 36 1/2 inches 
at the withers.  And, his mama gave him a little lopsided white star on his 
forehead. ( Ellinor has a small star.)

Have a great day all!!

Our mare Quad L's Megan had her foal tonight (9:00 pm) and it is a
beautiful and big boned boy. We named him Shota's Hugin so he can be a
match with his brother this year, Shota's Munin. Amma is our sweet little
light style girl in the middle of our big boys! All for sale this fall if
any one is interested! It's so fun to write the list and make a birth
announcement. So far baby and mom are doing well and dad, Woodland's Jovan,
is a happy guy. Best Misha
