This message is from: Laurie Pittman [EMAIL PROTECTED] Linda, if I remember right, Softouch is made in Missouri. I think the company that makes them is now owned by Liberty. I bought mine in Washington State from White Horse Trailer Sales. If you'd like more info, I could call them for you

This message is from: Laurie Pittman [EMAIL PROTECTED] Good for you Nancy! Forget that F-150! You're right about it being mind boggling with all the truck and trailer choices out there. Like I said before, take your time and look around at what others are doing and when you go to look at trailers

This message is from: Laurie Pittman [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thank you for the comments Misha. It's been tough at times but I'm glad I stuck it out with Tor. I think he is well worth it. Regarding training, it has been a combination of myself and the trainer. I prefer to do as much as I can myself

This message is from: Laurie Pittman [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hello Karen, Thanks for joining in. I agree with what you say. I hope I didn't make Tor (or myself) sound too bad. As I said we have come a long way since those days. When I got Tor at 7 months old he was only halter broke, so I knew I

This message is from: Laurie Pittman [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi Lynda, I love your posting! I'm so glad to see someone bring up these points. I've heard them all too. After my experience with Tor, I worry about non horse people looking at fjords when the only info they have are the things you

This message is from: Laurie Pittman [EMAIL PROTECTED] Jean, Thanks for your response. Proud cut was one of the first things I thought of and had the vet out to see what he thought. He was pretty sure that was not the case. I hope I haven't given you all the wrong impression of Tor. We

This message is from: Laurie Pittman [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hello all, Well I guess I'm going to change the subject back to training. I would really like to get some feed back from some of you who have less than cooperative fjords. It took a long time to find anyone else who would admit

This message is from: Laurie Pittman [EMAIL PROTECTED] Linda, I agree with Joe and Denise that you should get a bigger trailer. I often haul 2 horses and my cart and I had looked at a 3 horse trailer. I soon realized that it just wasn't enough. I can just about promise that you wouldn't

This message is from: Laurie Pittman [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hello everyone, I'm new to the mailing list and just want to say hello. I agree with not crossbreeding the Fjord. I saw a picture of one in the Driving Digest a while back that was a fjord/hackney(and maybe welsh) cross. Think fjord

This message is from: Laurie Pittman [EMAIL PROTECTED] While Tor has the same busy, nimble lips that all our fjords seem to have, his method of choice is brute strength. I've had to hot wire two walls on the inside of his stall. He was knocking them out with his enthusiastic scratching. You

This message is from: Laurie Pittman [EMAIL PROTECTED] How about a riding/driving program for those that only recreation ride and drive. I think it's a great idea Catherine! It works for the AQHA and the Backcountry Horsemen. I asked someone about it a long time ago, but they voiced concerns
