Marriott free breakfast
This message is from: Marcia Pace mar...@elltel.net I think everyone staying at the Marriott for the meeting will be entitled to the free breakfast - just inquire with the Marriott. The Marriott Free Breakfast Weekends promotion is valid Jan 15 thru March 29 with bookings made before January 26. I originally made my reservations before the breakfast offer with No breakfast. I had to cancel one of my reserved nights online the other day and my remaining Friday night popped up with the free breakfast included! I haven't stayed at the Seatac Marriott but have stayed several times at the Marriott Courtyard in Richland, WA - it has an excellent buffet and it includes custom made omlets. We have finally warmed up here in WA state and the Seattle weather should be pleasant!

Best Color
This message is from: brass-ring-f...@juno.com This was in one of my email newsletters: Fjords come out pretty good since they are both dun and fat! Does Your Horse Display the Characteristics of His Color? Tradition, they say, can teach us a lot. So here is what horsemen, on color, have thought. A bay is hardy, a chestnut is fast, and you cant kill a buckskin: hell last and last. A grey is gentle, and a sorrel is hot. A dun is a horse youll be happy you bought. White-eyes are flighty, white feet may crack. While some wont rely on the feet of a black. Some pintos are lucky, like the medicine hat, but all horsemen agree the best color is fat.

Have a look at www.trinityfjords.blogspot.com you will also be able to link to our website from there for more information. The blog will include both Fjord activities and some personal family activities. I would appreciate feedback. With another season of driving vacations and training fjords to drive just around the corner I hope to get better at this 'blogging' over time. Ursula and Brian Jensen Box 1032 Lumby, B.C.

Re: Handicapped Driving
This message is from: Jan Maday run_...@verizon.net Hi Margaret: So good to hear that Noel is back behind the reins. Thought I'd mention that our TSRC has recently donated $$ to the Caisson Platoon at Ft. Myer in Arlington, VA for a similar purpose. There are many returning vets who are either paraplegic, missing limbs, and sometimes both. Therapeutic riding has long been accepted, but now they have an accessible cart that you can load the wheelcheer and tie it down for security...so the therapeutic driver is in a very secure position. I'm wondering if this might work for Noel too...and possibly if he might be eligible to access the therapeutic driving program that's available. Might be worth checking into.

Erlend is moving
This message is from: Douglas Knutsen knutsenfjordf...@yahoo.com Hi and Happy New Year to you all, I want to congratulate Debbie Ulrich on her recent purchase of our pride and joy, MVF Erlend. Debbie has put together a herd of finely bred mares and fillies whose bloodlines will make nice crosses with Erlend. We couldn?t be happier about his new home, knowing what good care Debbie takes of her girls. Erlend will be worked and he will have a harem again. It may take him a while to realize that her barn is really for horses, as he has never seen a spotless barn aisle before, but I?m sure he will adjust. Check it out on her website www.corgihillfjords.com. Erlend now will be living with Debbie and her girls in Winona, Minnesota. Most of you know how attached I am to Erlend. Julie?s gift to us has been life-changing. It?s very hard to see him go, even to such a perfect placement. To ease the transition for all of us, I'll be flying out there to greet him as he arrives. Then Debbie and I will fly together to the NFHR meeting in Seattle. Hope to see you there.

Insure your message gets here
This message is from: Steve McIlree st...@carriagehorse.com I am writing this to let everyone in on how to insure their important messages make it to the FjordHorse List without being delayed. There are just a few simple things to remember to avoid any problems. 1. Be sure you send the message from the same email address at which you receive the List. This is no problem if you have only one address, but many of you seem to get a new address while keeping the old one at which you subscribed to the List. Then you start sending all your email from the new address. However the List server is set up to allow only messages from valid subscribers. If you haven't changed your subscription to the new address, it may sit for several days in until I get around to digging through the offers from the ex-Prime Minister of Nigeria and allowing your message to pass on the the List. So if you want it to arrive quickly, be sure your sending address matches your subscription address. 2. I used to constantly harangue everyone about being sure their messages were sent in plain ascii text. I haven't done this for some time because the software running on the server has been improved to translate most alternative forms of messages into the plain text variety. Unfortunately, this is MOST not ALL. So if you are trying to attach a picture, or even send a message on a pretty stationary it may get tossed into the pile along with the Nigerian mining company stocks. So, if you want your message to get to the list with as little delay as possible, make sure it is sent in a format which is as close to vanilla as possible. 3. Be sure you do not use the word V-irus in you message. I think that's about everything, but if I come up with anything else I'll let you know. -- Steve Owner/Administrator FjordHorse List Important FjordHorse List Links: Subscription Management: http://tinyurl.com/5msa7e FH-L Archives: http://tinyurl.com/rcepw Classified Ads: http://tinyurl.com/5b5g2f
Insure your message gets here (More)
This message is from: Steve McIlree st...@carriagehorse.com One more thing. 4. If you are replying to a message, please make sure you trim the quotation of the original message to only a sentence or two to establish the context to which your are replying. Unfortunately, the server software cannot enforce this bit of courtesy, however if you are replying to the Digest, and leave the entire digest as a quotation, it WILL toss your message into the pile with the Nigerians. -- Steve Owner/Administrator FjordHorse List Important FjordHorse List Links: Subscription Management: http://tinyurl.com/5msa7e FH-L Archives: http://tinyurl.com/rcepw Classified Ads: http://tinyurl.com/5b5g2f

Well, life on the farm is kinda laid back
This message is from: katesei...@aol.com NOT!! I kinda feel like I am working myself to death. It wasn't bad while I was still on vacation, but this deal of working a paying job 60 hours a week, and taking care of the horses, and the land, and the house, and the family. Wellno wonder none of you guys ever have time to watch television!! I am sure once the initial flurry of setting things to right and finding a routine are done, it will be easier. But, I absolutely love running out to visit the ponies every two hours or so. I still expect to find that they have somehow escaped from their sturdy electric fencing and am thrilled every time I see them still there. We have begun easing them out onto the pasture for a few hours a day, and they are quite pleased with that arrangement. I must note that my ego has taken a blow as to my true place in the hierarchy of pony interest. I confess to being smug and superior about how *my* ponies always come running to see me when I arrive. Well - that's true when they are standing around a dry lot waiting for something to eat or do. I clearly rate below grass since it's all they can be bothered to do to look at me and make sure I'm not a coyote in Kate clothing. They'll still come back in with me if I walk out and tap them on the shoulder, but I may have to assert myself a bit more. Or maybe I'll just spend more time sitting and watching them as soon as we get some decent weather.

Re: Well, life on the farm is kinda laid back
This message is from: Robin Churchill rbc...@yahoo.com Not to be negative but I don't think it gets any easier. Even though I knew keeping horses was a lot of work, I didn't have any idea until I actually was doing it. It seems ok when you are off work for a few days or when you can't ride for some reason but I find it frequently overwhelming to work, ride and take care of horses and a farm especially if you try to do anything else. I used to complain when I boarded my horses about this and that that the people who owned whatever barn I was at did or didn't do. I couldn't figure out what their problem was until I was them. I am not saying it is not rewarding and advantageous in a lot of ways but taking care of horses at home is not for the faint of heart.
