Hello List!
Sue g. here. I have been following the conversations about the Waverly Auction
and Tim's horses all going.....just to let folks know..Dick and I met Tim and
his wife the first year we went to the Libby, MT show...he is a very well
meaning man! Friendly, loved his horses. Then I was reaquanted(sp?) with him
about 3 years when I went to Norway. His wife had died, not sure when, and he
was like a lost soul. He really had a hard time with most things.......a few of
us kept tabs on him to make sure he was ok. He really has a good heart and I
know that if his comment was.....I just want them gone.......I would almost bet
that he is in a depression... I have been there. When you are at the bottom,
you just need things done and can't think about it in sane terms. I had a flock
of 40 sheep, knew each and every one, had lambs every year from them, and the
year that Dick had his first back surgery, we adopted Anthony, all the sheep
were ready to lamb.....and two litters of Great Pyrene!
es were due a week apart......and we had two belgiums, a percheron and her
filly, two paint fillys........and I had to take care of all of it.....needless
to say, there came a time when I had to let something go,, I couldn't do it
anymore...I sold the whole flock and when they were gone,,,,I knew that
something was not right in my mind. They were a part of me, each and every one.
But I couldn't care for them any more in the way that they needed so I let them
go. To hear that Tim has said, He just wants them gone....that is what I said
to. It doesn't make it right, it was what I had to do to survive mentally at
the time. I just wanted to speak up in Tim's corner and if I had the
money!!!!!! I would be at Waverly trying to get what I could to help make sure
they got into good hands!
A little while back , Sam, from Barefoot Farms had asked some questions on
this fjord list about a foal that she had that she thought might be a grey. It
is a colt, and it is out of Selma, who is a Grabbson daughter. Selma is a grey
mare and we bred her to LLA Hilmar. She had a colt, Yngvar! We didn't get over
to Sam's until about a month ago and as soon as I saw the colt right up
close..........I knew I was seeing my first Grey foal! I had never seen a grey
that young........Julie Will had told me that when the foal is born, you will
see a "Check" mark above each eye that is Black....and it will look like the
foal has black eye make up on..........the brown duns........of which we have
seen plenty of! have a brown "check" mark.. The striping already apparent on
this foal's legs is very striking......just like his dam, Selma's. Selma is an
awesome mare. She belonged to Castlefjords until a few years ago and when Sam
bought her... she was in foal. The stallion was a b!
rown dun and Selma had a grey filly, Floyel. Then she was bred last year to a
brown dun, Hilmar, and she has a grey colt. I think she also had a few other
foals, greys. Dick loves this mare and we have her at the farm here in
Northfield , MA as a little trade off! We have the pasture and fields for the
foals to get great excercise and she gets to take my mares to use for her
riding camps!
On a sad note, Floyel was owned by a young girl named, Lia, who bought her from
Sam. We took her to the NY Fjord show and Lia was going to enter Horse College
in Morrisville, NY where the NFHR Evaluation was held last year. So Floyel
stayed on to board at Julie's. Sam got a call last week from Lia and Floyel had
to be put down. Please say some prayers for Daryll, Julie's husband at Old
Hickory Farm as they have lost one older mare, a different young horse, and
Floyel, and I am pretty sure that there was one other horse on the sick list.
Floyel was thought to have died from colic...her colon was up over her back?
not where it should have been. Lia is home now from college for a break and
helping Sam at Barefoot.....good for her to keep going and being with her
friends!
On a happier note, we went to our first Sleigh Rally in Granby, MA last
weekend! Talk about cold,,,,,,it was only in the teens........we drove our box
farm sled with Selma and Hilmar as a team. For practice we had Yngvar hitched
to his mom's work harness,,, he was quite the little show off! When he was at
Sam's still he would walk all over his mom and never got reprimanded by her..so
he also thought it was ok to walk all over the people too! Sam and her husband,
Rod, had a lot of fun bringing him in and out with mom from the paddock! When
he got to our farm and was put out with his mom, Hilmar, and two other
weanlings, Yasmine(Dena/Konggard) and Yuri(Stella/Hilmar).....he didn't want to
leave mom's side! He has learned all his manners now,,,,,amazing what a little
time spent in the "herd" can do for a horse with manners problems! He is a
perfect little gentleman. At the Rally we unhitched him at ring side and dick
held him while I went in and I held him while dick drove in !
a class. He was very responsive to both of us and the folks ringside were in
awe of him! The other two , Yasmine and Yuri, got to spend some time tied out
to the side of the trailer and at times Yngvar was with them. It really helps
to just take them places and expose them to lots! They were great ambassadors
for the breed!
I have a man, who introduced himself to us at the rally, who is interested in
finding an older grey gelding. He has one and just lost one a little while ago.
Email me privately if you know of one!
Have been enjoying all the recent posts to the list! Keep up all the good
dialog!!

Just to clarify, I don't have Viktor at my farm any longer. Tim H. asked if I
would work with Viktor, show him and have him evaluated and possibly stand him
at my place. I took him in last spring. He was a very nice stallion, GREAT
disposition, nice movements, nice looking boy, GREAT bloodlines. Julia Will
wanted to breed one of her mares to him if he would have evaluated well.
Thank you to whomever separated Viktor and myself from Tim and his hired
hand's way of training. I do not agree with Tim and Jeff's way of
handling/training but I can be hospitable and gracious in dealing with them or
people like that. Do we ever see eye to eye with any one on everything?
I brought him(Viktor) to Blue Earth in 2002, he was super. He acted just like
he did at home, sweet and obedient. I then took him to Galena to be
evaluated, albeit young, just a 2 yr old, I thought we should see what the
evaluators thought. If he could just get a red, he would have a good chance
to get a blue later. BUT, they said he had broken axis in both pasterns and
gave him a 69. Basically saying they didn't want him used as a stallion. I
wasn't totally surprised as I had asked my vet why I thought something was
wrong. I thought I saw something in his front legs, but could not put my
finger on it. But in my opinion it was hard to see, vet didn't catch it. I
told Tim I could not keep Viktor any longer as Tim wanted me to stand him at
my place for breeding. I thought we should listen to the judges and not use
him for breeding.
Viktor will be in the sale at Waverly. He would make an excellent gelding!
I'll probably bid on him, but I still think he should be gelded and if I get
him he will be. He will have slow smooth gaits and a great disposition, more
western pleasure than english.
I pretty much know the whole story with Tim, I don't feel it is right to go
into it all, but as much as we all can we should not be judgmental and we
should remember what good Tim has done with the breed. Linda L. is right
Grabbson has thrown MANY good quality offspring, I'm sure not all are , but
what stallion has. I've personally worked with several and I liked working
with them, they were willing, smart, good movers and good looking. All there
current owners love them and are totally happy with them.
I don't like seeing Fjords at auctions just like most of you, but it's gonna
happen. I plan on going and will bid on a few of them. I caution anyone
going and planning on bidding, KNOW what you are bidding on. You really
should know lines and training and everything about them. Listen to what
people are saying on the list and if you have questions ask someone who would
know. It is VERY risky buying at auctions, not everyone trains the same and
not every horse is the same as the next, bloodline are important. PLUS you
really don't get to "test" ride or drive them yourself. Sure we talked a
little about Grabbson, but do you know the mares? Most of the time you get
what you pay for! Just be aware and do some homework.
One last thing, I believe all of Tim's horses are registered except for
perhaps Henry an import, registration pending perhaps. He has a few geldings
that as far as I know he never transferred ownership, but they are registered
just not under his name.
He also is NOT selling the filly he imported. The mare, the foal(Henry) she
had and Viktor are all in the sale. If that helps.
I'm a true believer in what goes around comes around and by the Grace of God
it could be me in that situation, I'd hope people would be gracious and kind
and supportive, that's how I plan on being. Grabbson and Tekla in my opinion
are probably the only ones at high risk. Think there is enough of us going to
buy the young stock and the "trained" ones will probably sell over meat
prices. Lynda I will be there and the babies are forsure taken care of,
anything 2 and under WON'T go for meat.
I'll be coming to the winter meeting from Waverly, sure I'll be in "fine"
shape. I'm doing it all in one day. Leaving at 3am to get to Waverly by 9am
taking in the auction then driving to Richland Center. You just might find me
in my room sleeping!

Hi Listers;
I have a question.........would anyone be interested in having a professional
photographer at the Blue Earth Show in July 2003?
This past spring my daughter and I had professional photographs taken by a
lovely gal from our area. My quarterhorse is 20 years old, Lena foaled
"Hasse" and my daughter will graduate from college this spring with future
dreams that do not include living with her parents (whew!! -
haha!!).......... I decided I wanted some nice photographs to capture these
events. We are so happy with our photographs and with Jolene ....... she is
wonderful to work with and is experienced in working with horses.
If there is enough interest from fjord owners, Jolene, our photographer, is
interested and willing to attend the Blue Earth Show.
Please email me privately if you are interested. You are not committing to
getting photographs taken - just showing interest!
Thank you.......Linda Lottie in Corcoran

Robyn,
I still have not heard from anyone about the auction items. I will
not be home this weekend for the actual auction; will be in Harrisburg
for Friday-Sunday at the Fjord horse booth. If you get a chance to come
up, stop in and see us!
Anyway, I either need to drop these things off or have someone pick
them up pretty soon. I will not be home most of Monday but
Tuesday-Thursday would be do-able. Please let me know. It is no
problem to drop them off if you give me directions and the name of
someone to take them off my hands.
Or I could drop them off at John Laird's (assuming he is home).
They live not too far off and I know he is involved with your group.
Let me know,

Plans are moving right along for the Driving Clinic to be held here on July
6th. In the last post we neglected to include our address. For those of you
who don't know where we are lactated: our address is: 28281 N. Ramsey Road,
Athol, Id. 83801 USA. The Clinic will be at our place for sure and not at an
arena. the weather should not be a factor, as we will rent the large tent
from the PNFPG. We are located about 20 miles north of Coeur d ' Alene Idaho.
If you have a camper and plan to stay for the night we have plenty of room.
We have around 15 folks signed up at this point. We would like to have around
20 to 25. If you or your friends would like to attend let us know ASAP . I
will be sending out a sign up sheet to those who intend to make it. In case
you had not read the earlier post, Brian Jensen will be doing the Clinic. One
day with some class room and hands on Hitching and Driving a several teams who
are in various stages of training. Brian has had many years of success as a
teamster and I am sure we are all in for a very educational and worth while
event. Safety will be "key" at this event as always at Sunwood. "Happy

Marsha,
Thanks for all the info on Dave Parker. The reason I was interested was
because last week a gentleman and his three children came on a horseback trail
ride here at our ranch business and mentioned that his wife had a relative
from Montana who supposedly was one of the first importer of fjords to the US.
He was quite clear that he had nothing to back this up other than family
stories and he mentioned that it was very possible that it was not correct
info, emphasizing that it was coming from "the wife's family!" ha ha. Anyhow,
I was curious so thanks so much. Rock'n Kathi

Hi Patti Jo,
Thanks for clarifying some of this! Tim and the Waverly auction owner were
making things quite confusing for a bit. Tim is keeping 4 as of the last
time I talked with him. For awhile, he was also going to keep Viktor, but
changed his mind.
We are thinking along the same lines as you, Grabbson, the mare with the
broken leg, and possibly some of the youngsters are what we are worried
about. Now, with you going it sounds like we will not have to worry about
the youngsters, thank you!

I know that the Mare Amanda's beauty is an
excellent horse. She came to us as a Lion and left a lamb. I know Tim used
her extencively as apparently she was one of his favorites. A few year ago
when she was here she learned to be absolutely great in saddle you could
shoot from her back you. We played leap frog with trucks honking horns,
motorcycles, she would walk over & underplastic . She went thru every
sacking out process we could think of. We trainerd her in buggy tough at
first but she became EXCELLENT. Amanda taught us alot. We love her to death.
Please don't let this mare go for meat. She is a high energy horse but she
learned to be very well behaved. A roller bit was her favorite, roll roll
roll steady as a rock, but wow that rollerbit rolled. Even if she is a
little rusty now Amanda is a horse with a great big heart, very strong, big,
forward.
Amanda would be an excellent buy.I think there are 2 pictures of her on our
web site . One tilling soil in the greenhouse, the other standing on &
underplastic with Walter holding a shot gun. Look under our training page at
www.fjordhorse.net
What a horse. Waverly is to far from us here and money is short at this time
of year, otherwise I would defineatly go buy her. I hope Someone that want a
great horse will buy her. Let me know Please.

As Lori mentioned at the end of the last digest, Victor was bred and
purchased in Norway. His previous owner and breeder was Earhart Martin.
He was the first place yearling colt at the Nordfjordeid show in 2001.
As far as the evaluation score and mention of a leg problem, you need to
use the evaluation of young stock as a picture of the horse on that day.
As a 2 year-old, he was in an awkward growth stage and a leg problem was
detected. This would not rule him out as a performance horse.
While in Norway in 2001, we also saw the mare and filly imported from
Norway and have seen the stallion that the mare was bred to before she
came to the US. They are nice Fjord Horses, so hopefully someone will
buy them.

Is it possible that a broken hoof axis is fixable. I gather it can be
created by poor farriery (or lack thereof). So could it be fixed? Are you
meaning to imply that he could "grow out of it"?

am wanting to sell four NFHR registered geldings. Only one is started--I was
ill with fibromyalgia for a couple of years--they are easy to handle and
sweetpeas
but not broke to ride. My biggest requirement is that they go to loving homes.

They are: Yggdrasil, Woodland's Jovan/Quad L's Megan 6
Valeska, Woodland's Jovan/Quad L's Christina 3
Grendel Woodland's Jovan/Quad L's Aubrey 3
Cinco--Woodlan's Jovan/Quad L's Aubrey 1

Linda ... in regard to your statements: <<Tim has stated he will not have
a minimum bid, even if the horses are sold to a meat buyer. He simply wants
them gone.
We are scrambling to get some people to this auction to act on the UEF's
behalf to either keep the bids higher on these at risk Fjords, or help the
UEF purchase and then place them in adoptive homes. >>
Does this mean that the UEF will have a representative at this sale to bid
up these fjords so that anyone (not a meat buyer) hoping to get one "cheap"
would not have a chance?
Do you know who the meat buyers are?

I am sure if you have been watching this list you will know we are all
working together to not only get the word out about these Fjords, but also
are trying to post as much information about the individual Fjord's traits,
training, and pedigree as possible. Quite a few list members have been
really helpful in sharing information they personally know of some of these
horses!
We are also discussing how to identify each other specifically so we will not
inadvertently bid against each other. There will be quite a few people from
this list there, plus representatives from the UEF attending. I am sure we
will be able to figure out how to identify each other.
In our experience, with some careful observation, one can tell who the meat
buyers are, yes. The UEF is only going to bid on those high risk Fjords, if
any, that for whatever reason no one else is able to bid on. Remember, as of
right now, there are 34 consigned Fjords going through that auction, they are
still accepting consigned and un-consigned horses. Obviously, the UEF Fjord
account only has the funds for a few Fjords and our hopes are that we do not
have to purchase even one of them! Steve has been really nice to allow us to
discuss this auction and the Fjords we know are going through, this way
everyone on this list will know and hopefully, many will be there to bring a
new Fjord home!
We have our hands on a flyer, finally, so hopefully by tomorrow will be able
to share the name, pedigree, training, and evaluation results, if any, on
each member of this herd of Fjords with this list.
