Welcome to the Fjord List, Sher!  After meeting you and finally meeting Icemann 
in person, I know that you two will have a great time together.  

Icy's half bro', Villi says Hey! :)

Good Morning, All!
 My name is Sher and I live in Western New York State.  At the ripe pld
age of 52, I've puchrased my first Fjordhorse.  His name is BDF Icemann,
and
he is such a joy!  We have been bonding since his arrival in October
2002,
and Icy is starting to be more like one of my dogs than he is a horse.  He
follows me all over the paddock, and would rather be with me than with his
paddockmates, who are not Fjords, by the way.  It's fantastic to see the
trust
in his eyes and to have it show in his manners.

Hello,

 I have a question concerning the PMU mares.  Why couldn't individuals
 contact this farmer and buy a mare or mares from him outright, since time 
 is
 of the essence?  t

Actually, most of these PMU farmers do not want the general public to know 
their location if it concerns the selling of PMU mares or foals.  There has 
been so much public outcry, especially in the states, that the few times this 
has happened with him personally, it was a nightmare.  

So, when many of these farmers sell PMU stock, they either contact people who 
can buy a group, or take them to horse sales, or they have what is called 
production sales.  This is just the way it is done.  Trust me, I would much 
prefer having the people contact him, myself, but he will not allow that.

contact this farmer and buy a mare or mares from him outright, since time is
of the essence?  He would probably appreciate all the interest, and might
delay his shipping them to slaughter if he had enough people who wanted one or
more of them, but who had to scrape the money together for the purchase.  This
is just a question, not a flame or anything.  I never write to these forums
because some people are so sensitive,  and I always choose my words carefully.
But this thread caught my interest, and for the sake of the mares, thought
individuals could contact this guy personally. Hope no one at UEF is offended
or insulted.
