Fjords do barefoot.   Elska graced a Pete Ramey clinic to get a pedicure.  Wow - all the info to learn, it is very much worth going to if your are interested at all in Natural Hoof Trimming.  http://www.hoofrehab.com

Fjords and ATV's!  We do trails up at Spring Creek July 2007.  Our double four hoofed drive vehicle could go most places the ATV's could go.   The fjord girls, Judit and Elska, really seemed to enjoy the adventure!

Happ's CDE June 2007.    We did our first big water feature with Judit and Elska, it wasn't speedy, but it was steady and uneventful.  A perfect foundation to build on.  Many thanks to gator Kathy Grover for all her great help and team spirit. (Oh and another double clean in cones - fyi.)

Elska and Judit competed in at Happ's CDE in June 2006, in Ethel, WA.   What a find adventure and almost perfect weather too.   The big thrill was having a double clean round of cones!   The girls did an awesome job.   Many thanks to gator Kathy Grover for all her great help!

The Girls do Lostine (Oregon)!   Blue Mtn Driving Club put on a great ADT and Team Fjord did a great job - note both pairs match!  Too bad the driver totally blew the dressage test!  We had total fun, saw beautiful country and had perfect weather!  What more could a driving day need?

White fjord visitors this fall!  What a thrill it was to meet Dave and Pam McWethy's white fjord boys.  Not only are they both uncommon white fjords, but they are both 15+ hands tall.  How awesome!  I'm looking forward to seeing these boys being driven as  a pair by Camptown Dave someday soon now that they and their owners are located in the PNW!

Elska and Judit competed in our first Horse Driving Trial together at Happ's on September 17 & 18th, 2005, in Ethel, WA.   What a great facility - many kudo's to  Maureen and Ken!  Both fjord girls did really well, and seemed to enjoy the adventure.  Many thanks to gator Tami Chamberlain for all her great help!   Driven by owner - Jeanine Rachau.

My first Fjord!  There isn't a fjord more special - okay very biased statement, I admit.  But Elska is a special girl, how could you not love that face?

The fjord that started it all.  I had a driving weekend up at the Driving Training Center, http://www.thedrivingtrainingcenter.com/, in Snohomish, WA.   And had the pleasure of driving the lovely Valkyra.  I was smitten with all things fjord from that time!   Val's owner, Marietta has shown me how to trim fjord manes, she does such a lovely job.  But I can't equal her skill.
