This message is from: "Pat Holland" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I am sending home another gelding - on the 18th - which is for sale. His name is SFF Nils. He is 9 years old and by Anvil's Torbjorn - The wonderful old stallion Rich and Nancy Hotovy owned and unfortunately died this past spring.
On the bottom side he is out of a Gjestarson daughter. He is 14 hands and a big boy - definitely draft in type. In spite of his age and having little work done prior to coming to me he is remarkable in what he has learned and has accepted. I have only ridden him, but ground driving is part of the work with them before getting on - so he has the basics for driving. He is very light in the mouth and above average sensitive to the leg - He now stands with the patience of a box of rocks, he clips, baths, loads and hauls. Good ground manners and nice to be around. This is the second Anvil's Torbjorn I've had in training and they broke out very much alike - his 1/2 brother SFF Axel was with me this past summer- very predictable and kind. I took Axel to Blue Earth and placed with him with only 45 days in training. The owner Susan Crawford still has Axel, as they are riding him at her farm in Streator, Illinois. She might make a deal for the two of them. They would make a nice pair and Axel was ground driven and put to a stone boat as well as extensively ridden. They are allot like and although I've never driven a pair would think they have the disposition and movement to do so. Both geldings are current in vaccinations, worming and both had their teeth done by a certified horse dentist while in my care. Neither have any bad habits in the stall, tied or turned out with others. Just good solid Fjord geldings. The kind of Fjord the breed is known for. Axel will take care of any rider and Nils has a bit more energy but very controllable. Contact Susan at [EMAIL PROTECTED] or myself for more information.
