This message is from: "ARDETH OBENAUF" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Last fall I was fortunate to buy my first fjord mare,Jayne, who is now in foal and due in 2 mos. I love her dearly and she gets along well with my 7 other horses, all quarter horses.
So, with one at home and another on the way, I have the opportunity to buy her first baby, now a two year old filly who is a full sister to the one she is carrying. She is priced right, has good conformation and personality and appears to be on her way to being a good size match for her mother which is good since I'm planning to drive a pair. My only hesitation is "do I have enough time for another horse?" I keep going back and forth. I'd love to have her, there are not a lot of fjords available in Tennessee. Should I buy her just because she's for sale. I do love her mother so much I'd be happy if she had no function other than pasture ornament. I just like having her around. Anyway, as you can see, I'm confused about this? If anyone has any insight or personal experience with a situation like this, I'd appreciate hearing about it. By the way, knowing myself from past experience, selling any of them at some time in the future is not going to be an option for me. AO
