This message is from: "Sofia jagbrant" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> In Swedish ears it sound to be much money for a 17 old year old horse, who, what I understand, has not very fantastic pedigree, give exellent foals, or is a star on riding or driving. In Sweden could you got a young horse, with good pedigree, and who is good at riding and driving for that price. But you live don't in Sweden, there we have had low fjordprices in 10-20 years (because fjords was born). But now is the price for our wonderful fjords, going up. Many people understand what a nice horse they are and because it is not born so many fjords wítch it does on the 1980, our price and demand for fjords goes up. It is great, but many people who compete want not buy a fjord, only because they are a fjord. My friend has a great fjordjumper (136 cm high) witch have won a 110 cm compete with sportponnies on a high level, and he is even a good drivinghorse, disablehorse. If this pony would be a brown maybe the owner would got 7000 $, if she would to sell him. But now she did'nt only because he have the "wrong" colur. This is a shame.
My point, is that even if I think it is much money for the horse in my ears, maybe it it not that there you live. Becouse it gets not so many fjords there. Sorry for my English today, but I hope you understand my point.
