Re: [IceHorses] Get plenty of pictures of your horses
i dont have to worry about plenty of pics with jas, he is our "first child" horse and the photos would fill up several truckloads I think. I have tons of older pics of GB since he was jaspars sire i took pics of him thru the years too even tho I didnt own him. as years go by i take less and less tho. There are pitifully few of Nasi and Tivar compared to jaspar. Janice -- yipie tie yie yo

He really was prettier than shows in his pictures. I think that's why it was such a shock. He was looking fine up until we went to bed Friday night. His main sign of aging was his sagging back - and that back is one reason I try to make people more aware of gaits. His step pace was very comfy...until it went more towards pure pace the last few years. He never went lame or seemed uncomfortable, but I couldn't stand for Cary to ride him near the end. I really wish I'd known more about gaits when he was young... Karen Karen Thomas Wingate, NC No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.

RE: [IceHorses] Get plenty of pictures of your horses
why the heck do registries make you PAY for this?!?!? The paso fino horses don't... anybody can go there and look up info, pedigrees etc. for free! i mean, I can see why they would make you pay for copies of stuff and when they have to research something, but the database should be free! Apparently all of the animal registrations are handled by one agency in Canada, the CLRC, and it's awesome...and it's free! You can search for parts of a horse's name, and then click on hyperlinks to find out more: find offspring and ancestors, etc.. Here it is for Icelandics: http://www.clrc.ca/cgi-bin/query.cgi?_association=94 Since many of my horses are from Canada, or have relatives from Canada, it's amazing how much I've been able to figure out from looking at this site. You can search to some limited extent on the US registry site, but it doesn't compare to the Canadian site. http://www.icelandics.org/search/default.asp Karen Karen Thomas Wingate, NC No virus found in this outgoing message.

Re: [IceHorses] Get plenty of pictures of your horses
there is someone on the other list, Diane, she and I always share the TWHBEA database. Its 60 bucks a year. I paid one year and gave her the secret code, she paid the next, now its my turn again and i havent done it yet. I will do it by next week hopefully then we can look him up. Which brings to mind one of my pet peeves... why the heck do registries make you PAY for this?!?!?

>>> In this picture karen, Mac looks so much like Jaspar, so much like all GBs >>> offspring... and GB is Mack K Handshaker lines. Makes me just wonder if >>> Mack isn't related... and he was so tall! in the bottom pic he could be >>> jaspar's twin... His registered name was Dana's Little Mac - and yeah, I think it was really spelled with a "k" at the end. I'll look up his papers - is there anywhere you can check TWH pedigrees online? I know Merry Go Boy and Midnight Sun were on his papers. Karen Karen Thomas Wingate, NC No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.

Re: [IceHorses] Get plenty of pictures of your horses
What a nice horse. You're right about taking lots of pictures. I decided to make a scrapbook of the horses we have owned. For some horses, there were only one or maybe two pictures and not good ones at that. One mare (actually my first gaited horse) there's a picture with a newborn foal at her feet. They are just tiny black and white specks in the middle of the print. It was the only picture of either of them. There were a few horses with no pictures at all. We not only lost the big hair, we went digital. Praise the Lord. Nancy
