This message is from: Linda Lottie User <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> My first fjord, Sven, is 13.3 and PERFECT....we use him primarily for driving but he is ridden. Lena is a little taller, rides and drives (14.hh)
Sven is 18 yrs this year and Mr. Steady Eddy.....Lena is 11 and truly in her prime. Both are so wonderful I can't stand it - :):):) Hasse...coming 4 is proving to be every bit as wonderful as him mom, Lena. Soon he will start under saddle. Driving...he is a doll and LOVES to go and see. Hasse's grandfather? Grabbson:) Sven is out of Anvil's Toby (Hotovy's in Michigan) ....sadly, deceased. Lena....Grabbson. BTW......the Minnesota Horse Expo is the last weekend in April.....we have a full row of fjords, including several brown dun, a new foal, a gray and a white dun mare. How fun is that???? Do stop by and see us. ATTENTION!!!!!! We will need HELP on Thursday for set-up. If you can spare a couple hours anytime after 10am.....PLEASE, come help. It is a really fun day, laid back, exciting as all the horses arrive.....and free:) We are located in the horse barn, same stalls.......my cell is 612-716-5861 if you need to call/are lost/.... Come join in the fun!! Linda Baker Lottie and Kristin Lee and all the gang!!!!!!
