I'm searching for my next fjord and here's what I'm after..... 14 to 14.3 hands, 7 to 17 years old with easy to sit gaits, a solid "whoa" and stands well for mounting/dismounting from a block, neck reining nice but not a necessity, trail experience a must but doesn't need to be the "Man from Snowy River" type of trails. Needs to have super ground and stall manners, no bite/kick/rear or general nastiness, hopefully somewhat easy on fences. Must enjoy being fussed over, good for grooming, bathing, clipping, mane cutting, pick...ing up hooves standing tied to fence or trailer, etc. Can be ridden out alone or with others and doesn't mind either way, settles in nicely when hauled places, trailers well, good for vet and farrier. Doesn't need to be a super performance horse, better to be a solid equine citizen. I need a steady eddy type, a confidence builder and a partner I can trust. What can I offer? A loving home with an experienced horse owner who keeps her horses at home on dry lot, feeds good quality grass hay, has a great relationship with her vet and farrier and has recently retired her older fjord gelding from riding. I also have a 10 year old son who is horse crazy and spends a lot of time at the barn with me and the horses, they are part of our family. My downfall are my knees, one is replaced and the other is on its way but I'm not ready to give up riding, I just don't move as quickly and don't want to ride the hills anymore or go fast. I have owned & ridden for over 25 years but due to the physical issues would list myself as a very cautious advanced beginner at this stage of life. Would prefer to find something west of the rockies to keep shipping costs down but will consider others possibly, I'm located in northern California. Will vet check and possibly x-ray if necessary. Can provide references. Will also consider mares and geldings. Price will depend on the individual horse. Current pictures and video a must as most will be too far for me to travel in person to see.
