She rides and drives and still ended up at auction huh ? Wow. The brand on her neck might show that she was, at one time used on a PMU farm. Her age is about right as well, and I have seen Fjords with brands come from that industry. You can try to research the brand, but its going to make you pull your hair out, just FYI. ( you will need to include Canada in the search ) Was the auction able to give you any information on the consigner ? I would start there. Sometimes a nice clerk will call the consigning party for you and ask they contact you, but they are under no obligation to do so. I was able to help a couple of people find out about their Fjords past history, so if you write me in private, I will see what I can dig up. Either way, it sounds like you scored big time getting this girl thats trained already. Send me a picture of her brand and I can look around for you.
