Greetings from Jerry Halvorson...

Jerry Halvorson is the owner, administrator, trainer, stable boy, cook and misc engineer of Halvorson Farms. While Jerry has no horse allergy, though an addiction to those Curly horses. Curlies? What are they anyway? SSS=Smart, Strong and Sneeze-gone. 

Allergic people usually live in relative tranquility with these rare and unique Curly horses. Of course, a person known to have a horse allergy, must have adequate guidance before handling a Curly horse. And "tame" does not mean "trained." Though most are approach oriented, Curlies still need proper ground work and riding to fulfill their full potential. 

If you are allerigic to horses, before embarking on a Curly venture, obtain hair samples to determine the intensity of your horse allergy. Curly horses often fill the bill for allergic horse lovers. A Curly might put you "back in the saddle again."

 


Jerry was raised on 13 different farms. - Click for Larger Image

Jerry and his crew Curly horses are located in the plunging Trimbelle River Valley, isolated from civilization and roaming with hypoallergenic horses, some who are extreme Curlies, who are super at causing little or no allergic reaction in people who otherwise allergic to horses. All this is happening, only 45 minutes from the Minneapolis/St. Paul International Airport. Stop by to see Curly horses and and the curly owner, Jerry Halvorson, who lives amongst all those Curly horses. Engage in some chit chat or maybe some "intellectual" discussion about Jerry's writings. Watch the Wild Horse Stampede, test your horse allergy and when you've finished, take a few of those Curly horses to your pasture. Then, you too can enjoy the freedom feeling of owning a horse who keeps horse allergic reactions to a minimum. 

Raised on a poverty-struck farm in Northern Minneosta, I drove Two-Ton-Tony plow horses and rode Alm and other milk cows...not one riding horses on the farm. Dad didn't believe in wasting money on frivolous and outdated buggy horses. Model A's took over, but my dream of owning a riding horse was relentless. Fantasy changed to reality when I sold Bonfire, my yearling Shorthorn bull calf and bought Topsy, my yellow Palomino mare. For 85 hard earned dollars, my that bleached out Trigger wanna be helped Jerry cross the wide divide between fantasy and reality.

Where the Curly horses, domesticated, yet running free...cute, Curly 'n Colored 'n Hypoallergenic 'n born tame, but tough 'n full of instinct. Where allergic people see horses of fantasy--Curly horses whose wolly winter coats protect the Curly horses from cold and the allergic people from their allergies. Where trick trained Curly horses lay down on command and do circus-type acts 'n ride off on trails amongst the pines and fields. Where Curly horses and allergies collide...and when all the Curly horses have been tested for allergic reactions, come inside and sit in the Frazier western highback saddle--and see all the other antique saddles who tell stories. Where the Curly horse hide, skinned off the back of a South Dakota rancher's horse who was fence caught, destroyed and made into a horse rug (head still attached), lives in the back room, still waiting for a Curly horse mate.

Regression Therapy for Stuttering

 

About the cover…Footsteps Toward The Light. “Leading toward meaningful existence are the footsteps of the stutterer in Regression Therapy, as through a darkened historic covered bridge, amidst all the complicated structures…walking into his history…toward the light…to appreciate the present and create a happier future.” This photo of Jerry walking down the deck of the Zumbrota Covered Bridge in Zumbrota, Minnesota shows the antique interior structure of the only remaining covered bridge in Minnesota.

The Struggle

 

Sitting straight up in the pews, grown men swallowed hard as the words of The Old Rugged Cross got inside their hearts, which would not have been out of place during a funeral service, unless you know the kind of men who were in the church==tough men, Norwegian men, men who didn't cry when their kids were born—or died.
