This message is from: M Korose <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hi List I noted with pleasure the email of the lady who now has Harrison Fjord. There are other ways to enjoy Fjords....Get to know a breeder. We currently have 2 Fjord geldings out on lease. The "Leasees" pay for upkeep, shots, worming, shoes, tack, etc. Our oldest (18 this year) has done it all, totally trained for riding, driving and draft and he was just doing a weekly kid's lesson, as our time was tied up in training youngsters. A wonderful "older" lady is leasing him, enjoying trail riding 5 days per week, getting a cart to drive him and he is at a public Horse Park (magnificent really) where she is curator of the Carriage museum. he is seen by LOTS of folks as he is a boarder, there all the time, he has made tons of new friends and this is great exposure for the Fjords. I don't lose my "first" Fjord, we see him and get to drive the others at this park, win-win. Our other gelding is teaching kids lessons at a friends barn (she has Fjords also) and perhaps one of them will need a Fjord of her own someday, meanwhile he gets needed milage (it is a good situation, we know it well). So....If you want to know more about Fjords and don't have one, cultivate a breeder in your vicinity (most have open invitations out) and see if something can be done that may or may not lead to ownership, but will get you your Fjord fix or your Fjord taste prior to buying. This can be done at Rivoire's driving vacation, it seems to be her MO. We would love to have a working student someday. Alternatives.....something to think about.
Marsha in VA where the temps went from 65 on Sun to windchill of 5 today! PS. We also may have a coming 2 year old go visit a driving friend, whose son has fallen in love with her sweet mouthy ways. horse would get ground driving and attention and the Mom would find out if this is a passing phase for son or the real thing. Win-win!!!!!
