Hubby wants to sell the tractor that came with the house. It's a TAFE 45 DI and works great. We want to list it but don't know the year -- the year isn't on the manual and we can't find it on the tractor. Anyone know how to find out the year of a tractor? Thanks, V Virginia Tupper NB, Canada

This may seem abusive, but if you've ever had to lead a horse out through a wildfire,it is a good skill for them to have. When I was a kid we did this many times, and the horses (not icies) were always easy to rescue because they were not afraid, even when we could hardly breathe for the smoke

Does he have a cream gene??? I don't know. His sire was Baldur 147 (grandsires Jarpur 112/Randver fra Fitjamyri)..dam Vindottir fra Fitjamyri(Grand dam s- Dixie 111/Pia Van Asgeirsbrekka). He was started trained by Christine Schwartz. I think this is why he is such an amazing horse.
