Hello Cindi, I am asking $3,500.00 for her. But I am telling you that if you are really interested in her I would be willing to make you a deal. You sound like me, I am 41 years old and have always wanted a horse of my own. I bought my first horse when I was 36 years old. I bought a Fjord stud colt out of the mare I have now. He is wonderful. I enjoy him so much I just can't begin to explain it. So when his mother came up for sale, I leapt at the opportunity to purchase her. But I have found that owning two horses has drained my time and my resources. I board them and it just isn't working out. It is really expensive to have two. It doubles everything, vet, farrier and board, tack.....the list goes on. So I decided in all fairness to my gelding, I must sell the mare. There is absolutely nothing wrong with her, and if I had a farm of my own, I would keep her. She is worth her weight in gold for her foals. She is sweet and loving and loves to be petted and groomed. She loves having attention. She is the first to the gate and she will follow you everywhere. Her name is Lissie, she is registered with the NFHR out in New York, she is DNA typed for breeding and is a wonderful broodmare and mother. she stands about 13.3hh and is about 1000 pounds. She hasn't had any professional training for riding, but she does ride on trails and she has done some ground driving. I sent my gelding to a professional for cart training and it worked out great. The trainer called and told me I did an excellent job in his ground work, made his job a whole lot easier to do the cart work. So I am sure she would take to the cart with no problems. If you are going to take lessons for riding, I am sure your trainer would put some time on Lissie to get her going solid for you. You two could have your lessons together, that is what I did with my gelding. The trainer put 30 days on him and I took lessons on her lesson horse for 30 days and then my gelding and I started lessons together ( where I rode him) and it turned out great! We have been riding together ever since. Lissie has been a pet all of her life, it sounds like she would love the attention you would shower her with. I would love to talk to you more about her if you would like to know more, please either email me or you can call me at 952-469-1869 my name is Julie I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Tell me more about her, price etc. I know she's worth every penny you are asking but I couldn't give you full price. Why are you selling her? How many hands? I'll tell you about myself>>>> I am 46 years old and owning my own horse and learning to ride has been a life long dream. The horse I have right now belongs to my friend Katie. I can't ride him because he's too high strung but I love taking care of him. We go for lots of walks and he gets an apple or carrots every day. My friend Katie works with horses and knows everything about them. She's as good as having a vet around and has proved herself many times. She use to work for a prominent cutting horse trainer in Texas and I had the opportunity several times to go to work there and learn all I could. I didn't care for the way they treated the horses-it's a very sad business-but I learned a lot about handling, feeding, and treating horse injuries......I just need to learn how to ride :) I was taking lessons but the stable I was taking lessons at put me on a large, young, high strung Percheron, he spooked, the saddle slipped sideways, and I fell off. My foot caught in the stirrup and it was a mess. I finished the lesson but as the hours pasted I had more and more pain. Turned out I broke a couple ribs and I have no desire to repeat that. Anyway.......I started researching horses and Fjords kept coming up. I need a horse that I can trust, that is fairly smooth gaited, because I'm a little gun shy now. It wouldn't matter what they looked like.....I just want a horse I can trust that would also be my "baby." I have 4 cats (Pud, Puck, Pooder and Max) and 1 dog-Pretty boy Floyd. Everyone here is spoiled and that's whatever horse I get will be too. If you have anymore questions just ask away. Maybe we could work out a deal.
