Hello Shelley, I have a Fjord mare for sale if you are interested. I live in Lakeville Minnesota. Let me know if you are interested and I can give you more details.

My name is Shelley and I have recently purchased 8 acres of land and will soon be moving. My mini ranch (tee hee) is 7 minutes outside of Sylvan Lake, Alberta. I have 2 children 17 and 19, a boy and girl. We are wanting to purchase horses for our acerage and the breed of horse we are leaning towards is a fjord. We are rookie horse people, my kids go to a horse ranch every summer (for the last 12 years) so they have some experience and I had cousins who were very active in gymkhana's, I got to groom the horses. So we have alot to learn. We will be trying to purchase older more experienced horses so they can teach us. I love everything I have learned about these wonderful fjords and I really think this is a horse that will fit my family. My daughter had a bad spill last summer at camp, so she is horse shy right now, but I think the right horse will help her over her fears. Can anyone tell me if a fjord will be comfortable carrying a 260lb teenage boy (my son). Kyle is a solid football player, he is only 5' 6" but I am worried about the wieght. Is this okay for the horse? Are they able to carry that weight easily? Also I have emailed and wrote to two breeders here in Alberta and neither has replied to me. Is there anyone on this list who is in my area who might have some horses available that meet our requirements, and that don't mind answering our questions. I look forward to hearing from all you experienced fjord people. Thanks Shelley Le Surf [EMAIL PROTECTED]
