Re: thank you Mike May
This message is from: Ardeth Obenauf laz...@united.net An announcement from Mike himself will be coming soon in the e-newsletter. It is hard to imagine the NFHR without Mike at the helm. It should make us all rest easier to know that Mike has agreed to remain available in an advisory capacity for the foreseeable future to ensure that the Registry goes forward as usual, so we haven't seen the last of him by any means. Mike is also responsible for training Jeanne, the new Registrar, and is confident she will maintain his high level of service. There will be a celebration for Mike at the Educational Forum to be held in Nashville, Tn next January, so make plans to attend.

RE: Thank you
This message is from: Willows Edge Farm i...@willowsedgefarm.com Being an Ole son, it might have swayed me a little, but I was sooo thrilled to have gotten him in for training. AND, even MORE thrilled to watch him transform. I saw him go from out of shape, not really wanting to work, to loving it and improving all this movements according to the cues given. Plus a wonderful canter on him, GREAT trot, super fun horse to ride. It really was so NEAT to have all these Ole boys... Henry is going to Karen Petty of WA. Can't brag enough about Ole, all have GREAT free flowing trots and GREAT CANTERS! Not to mention the brains, Fjord brains!! Having these 3 Ole boys, it was like a little bit of Ole was still here with me. Corrine xoxo to Ole from me Patti Jo Walter www.franciscreekfjords.com I'm excited for another Ole foal to be out here in the West and glad that Karen made the trip safely out there and back. It sounds like she's going to be doing some great dressage with him as she's done with her others. Congrats to Mary Wood who just purchased Ole's first filly born here on the farm, Willows Skjønn Ti. She will stay local here in Washington state and get to live on a cranberry farm. It is fun to see now what Patti Jo is always talking about how Ole throws his shoulder and hip ...

Most readers probably didn't know what you were refering to, obviously Lisa hit a sore spot, But I didn't find her post any more, actully less, accusatory than what Bonnie wrote to Linda: Linda you should try it sometime it would really help your perspective on life. I don't have any facts figures or documention for you other than I have first hand seen some of my friends go thur this. Proof proof documention. Just get off your commputer and take a walk around your country and you can see if you look and you can even reach out your hand and help. Much more productive than debate. I think if you had just let it go nobody would have taken it to be trashing your list or you or Bonnie. You have your beef with Lisa. I don't want to get into it. I have my own opinions about what happened at Libby and about Bonnie' attitude. I am glad she has turned out to be a good trainer. I don't want to get into an argument. You have your perspective.

That become criticizm of my list and my actions. Lisa hates my trainer. I had purchased one of Lisa's foals and paid her at Libby. Lisa backed out of the deal and returned my money stating that none of her foals would come under the influence of my trainer. Lisa was among the group that got together at Libby and had us thrown off the island so to speak. I got understandably pissed. When she wrote me later that she had sold the foal to someone else...I got even more pissed in that she didn't trust my judgement and had to rub it in. I told Lisa that I didn't care to ever speak to her again. I tried many times to offer an olive branch, but each time (from different mail addresses) she has blocked them all. What Lisa wrote was a direct slam at my list and my actions in attempting to control a wildfire. She even paraphrased part of a message, from my list, ridiculing my trainer who was only trying to make peace on the list.

Before YOU or anyone else, who is only on THIS list, the information about Mr. Stewart in Scotland had been posted on my list for some time. You know this. You are subscribed to my list. FJORD welfare has always been paramount. I personally posted many links to follow up and assist in the assessment (by readers) of the situation. But, you already know this.. Other readers, only on this list, do not. It seems devious to object to something about my list without writing something about it on mine. You have been conspicuously quiet and haven't posted anything since October of 2006. We could use some of your wisdom on my list as well. You write: Even another Fjord list, which was created and actually encouraged to discuss these tough rescue abuse and saving Fjords in need topics, I hear they called for an end to the conversation, while this list does not. I am puzzled by the use of the word HEAR in the above paragraph. Or are you trashing any messages from my list too. Have you bothered to READ what has been sent to you. Perhaps if you had, you would have not have written here. If you, in fact, DID...then you know why I shut the subject of horse slaughter down. I would e-mail this directly to you but you have set your email to block any messages from me directly. Don't trash my list just because you don't like me or my trainer My trainer, who was trashed by you and others at Libby, are not aware of some facts. Bonnie Morris has a heart of gold. She presently has three rescued horses at her facility right now that she saved from the knife or starvation. A couple of years ago, she bought two other horses to save them. One was nothing but a skeleton. She nursed both of these back to health. The mare that was a skeleton is now a mother. Bonnie is presently nursing one of MY Fjords back to health as I didn't have the facilities to adequately care for her. She has become an accomplished CDE competitor. Just last week she had two of my fjords hooked up to Dave McQwethy's (Sp?) cart at Happs. Dave drove and loved them too. You, and the other nay-sayers from our Libby Incident will not admit you made a mistake about her. Next time you object to something going on on MY list, write your thought there...not here.

I want to publicly thank Patti Jo Walters for doing an outstanding job with Ivar (the 4 yr old gelding she mentioned in this post). He is my boy. I sent him to Patti Jo the 1st of December as a horse who had very little training. She came highly recommended and I know why! She has been amazing. I live in KY so don't have the luxury of watching his progress but Patti Jo communicates via e-mail almost daily and I almost feel like I am there with her detailed descriptions of his progress. I would highly recommend Patti Jo to anyone that needs their horse trained. I can't wait to get him back the end of February! Debbie in KY (patiently waiting for Ivar's return) This message is from: Dave and Patti Walter [EMAIL PROTECTED]Been a SUPER year in 2007 here at FCF, 2008 starting out like last year, GETTING SOME FANTASTIC Fjords in on consignment. So excited again this year. I'm just blessed to get to work with so many different bloodlines, so many different horses and so many WONDERFUL owners and then selling the horses and meeting even more wonderful folks who bought the horse. It's a great line of work. It's not easy selling horses and I do my homework and only take good quality Fjords in on consignment. I'm not out there just to sell horses, I want a great sale. Where FCF gets a friend for life and you get a friend in your Fjord for life. Can only do that with quality Fjords. And, it starts with the breeding.I have a couple of really nice quiet and nicely trained mares coming in this week. I have a nice perfect aged team, or they can be sold seperate as they both drive single and both ride. I have several young ones coming in the spring, they are all currently driving and lightly being ridden, we will here at FCF put more finishing touches on them. I also know of a SUPER gelding that we started here at FCF and then sold and he is solid BN event horse. He is easy to keep and easy to ride/handle. Super boy. So again this year, I hopefully can help you find that right Fjord for you/your needs.Have a few training horses at the moment and several lined up for spring/summer. If you are considering some training, make sure to contact me early, as things are filling up. One in for training I'm also thrilled with. Ivar, 4 yr old gelding. A bit too slow / quiet to start butwe got him going nicely and I'm just thrilled with this boy, his owner is gonna have a blast with him when he goes home end of Feb.Few additions to FCF, I bought TUF Voss this last year.

I still have my TB and will do a BN event with him this year as well. Sorry had to add that, he's a COOL horse! GREAT jumper! Eby will probably take Voss or Tomas, as they both jump as well. We have been using Tomas in the lesson program as well. Tomas just has to learn to stay calmer when jumping he LOVES it too much.

Darryl first called Julie's attention to Flotren in Norway. Of course she wanted to important this magnificent stallion to the US. It was my good luck that, in order to finance this, she felt she needed to relocate her senior stallion, Erlend, to the West Coast. Julie followed his career out here closely and even made the long trip to Ellensburg while she still had the energy. So many times I have wanted to share the latest news with her and share her excitement. I do tell her about these times - I hope she hears. Julie had clear breeding goals. I believe she attained those and much more. I so much wanted her to be at the show in Winona and see her guy honored in the Get-of-Sire class! As I told many friends there, I had virtually nothing to do with the win. All I did was gather together some of the fine examples of her breeding. Julie produced all of those horses representing Erlend, not I. I've never met a soul with more integrity that Julie. She was as competitive as anyone, yet always supportive and friendly to all.

I had a beautiful foal who was a love until about five when she felt she should take over the geldings, me and the farm. I sent her off for breaking and early training and she was the favorite of the woman trainer. But when she came home it was back to the challenge of who was in charge. I was firm with her and she learned to respect me when being ridden but would continue to test me around the boys.

Re: thank you pair drivers and Florida
This message is from: Pat Holland [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thank you for the comments on pair driving. - on the list and privatly. Personally I think a Fjord pair is about the most impressive to watch than any other breed - I guess because of color.In the Midwest we have some really good driving trainers - like Mary Ruth Marks and I've seen her with her Arabs and other breeds paired up - but the Fjords just have a special look. Another higher level competitor in our area used to have a nice pair of Haflingers - and even with their look alike - ness - it wasn't the same as the over all impression the Fjords gave. I just got an email from Vicki Johnston from Mims, Fl. (I don't know where Mim's is - but she and her husband work for the Kennedy Space Center - it must be near there) - I still have Peppertrees Chocko here in Illinois. She was preparing for the 4th storm, and said our communications may be off for awhile - AGAIN I feel so bad for the people down there. They are water logged - and having to deal with no power, .she said nce - I think - she lost something like 23 trees in her pasture. Some of you may have met her at Blue Earth - she came up to see Chocko shown. She's a really neat lady with a stressful and time consuming job - she either came from or once lived for awhile in Montana, because in early conversations she said she did not like Florida and loved Montana - I bet that opinion hasn't changed. I just can't believe they are going through all of this for the 4th time! I think I'll take snow over what they are going through anytime. Pat in dry Illinois

Re: Thank you to all those who replied about older fjords.
This message is from: vz/bossmare [EMAIL PROTECTED] Re: adding loose salt to horse's dietaccording to Dr. Kellon from the Cushings elist and contributor to Horse Journal and John Lyons newsletter iodized salt should be added to the diet for the benefits of the iodine which she feels is deficient in most diets. I haven't followed the subject much lately since I've been horseless but at the time I had the two Fjord mares I was adding two teaspoons of Morton salt to the am and pm portions. Their thyroid levels tested normal. The plain white salt blocks don't have iodine in them and the mineralized blocks are formulated for cattle so her advice was to add the supermarket variety of iodized salt. Dr. Kellon has written extensively on thyroid, Cushings, insulin resistance etc. on easy keepers so I know the salt advice was related to managing metabolic problems in these horses.

This message is from: ConnieBennett [EMAIL PROTECTED] I hope to have many more good years with my fjord mare. I too add salt to feed in the winter to increase their water intake. Even with heated tanks some horses don't drink enough. Question: I saw where one person mentioned thyroid problems and I started wondering...as Norway and Europe are so close to the sea and probably that salt air gets on the ground and grass...should we use iodized salt ever? When I lived in Oregon and Washington, I never heard of thyroid problems in horses but now that I'm so inland I have heard of thyroid problems in horses.

Re: Thank You
This message is from: ruth bushnell [EMAIL PROTECTED] Constructive criticism, in a positive light, is very acceptable to the NFHR Board members, plain old nasty criticism is not Dennis Johnson ~~~ This phrase, Constructive criticism, is a paradox.. criticism is NOT a positive... it is a negative. I don't feel that it's fair that all Listers who expressed a wish for more promotion be labeled a critic, or that our expression of those wishes could be considered criticism. I expressed my wish for more promotion positively, I certainly did not have criticism for NFHR BOD in mind! Not at all! Just because a person wishes there was more Fjord promotion, and expresses those wishes, does not in any way mean that they have no sincere appreciation for those who serve in thankless and sacrificial roles. It didn't even occur to me that anyone might take exception, I assumed that if a board member read about my positive wish for promotion, they would be required by the nature of their office to objectively and subjectively (on behalf of their membership) make an impersonal assessment of any request, irregardless of it's delivery! Regarding all member ideas and suggestions as viable insights into relevant Fjord concerns is simply a sound business principle! Promotion is a positive word and can only be interpreted to mean well for the Fjord, therefore it is a valid board issue, and should not be misconstrued as criticism. Please, let's not negatively MIX board issues with defensive personal feelings of UNappreciation Ruthie, nw mt

Re: Thank you All/ Cruizer
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Oh you cannot blame yourself. It IS just an accident. You never know what horses will do to hurt themselves. My QH was bred to a great QH stallion, who used to be beautiful. But a mare stepped on his head when in the pasture. His face is very smooshed now. Still makes nice babies though. I could go on and on (as I'm sure many of us could) at the unforseen accidents and scrapes we've seen horses get into. What happened to Cruizer is tragic, yet an accident that nobody could have predicted. Besides going out and giving the fjords a hug as you suggested, YOU deserve a hug for what you've gone through.
