Nice Fjord mare for sale
This message is from: "Linda Walker" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hi Everyone, I have a medical condition that prevents me from riding and need to sell my lovely Fjord mare. She is registered (NFHR), her reg. name is Phelisia, but we call her Ellie. She is almost nine years old (will be nine in June). She is trained to ride, drive and jump. Her sire is Briggen and her damn is Jemy. Ellie was imported from Holland when she was a yearling. I bought her from Old Hickory Farm in Weedsport, NY. While there, she was used extensively in a children's riding program. She is a proven mare. Ellie has very nice conformation and is a very nice mover. She would make a wonderful dressage horse. If anyone is interested you may contact me at (920) 337-0628 or email me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thank you, Linda Walker

Need a transport service!
This message is from: "Linda Walker" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Can anyone recommend a reliable horse transport service? I recently bought a horse and the day before she was to be picked up, several horses from her barn became ill from an unknown cause. My horse was not one of them...thank God. To be on the safe side, the decision was made not to ship my horse. Unfortunately, the horse carrier had already arrived and they were informed that the horse to be transported was not going. I feel bad for the transport company, but then again, this was something that was out of our control. This illness came on suddenly, there was no warning. Upon conversing with the hired transport company, it was decided to terminate the contract with them. Without going into detail, they were not being very kind about my situation and their route would not take them back to that area for at least another month, if then. So I'm looking for a transport service that is reliable, reasonable in price and will be having a rig going to New York State within the next week or so. If anyone can help me, please return an email..asap. Thanks in advance, Linda
Marketing the Fjord
This message is from: "Linda Walker" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I don't have a Fjord video to show. I'm a professional equine videographer. Producing a high quality equine video can truly enhance the marketing process.

She's coming home!!!
This message is from: "Linda Walker" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I bought my first Fjord almost two weeks ago. Her name is Phelisia (her barn name is Ellie) and she is seven years old. I've now seen two videos of her and she has gaits to die for!!! The transportation arrangements have been made and she is leaving Weedsport, New York on Feb. 17 and will arrive in Green Bay, WI on the 19th. Her stall is ready, the tack is hung and she will have many visitors in the weeks to come. I would like to take this opportunity to thank a very special person who has been instrumental in helping me find my "dream" fjord. Patti Jo Walters of Francis Creek Fjords in Two Rivers, WI has shared her expertise and love of the Fjord breed with me. You have been a tremendous help!! So, on behalf of Ellie and myself, we thank you and we look forward to riding with you in the near future. Until next time, Linda Walker
What brand saddles do you use?
This message is from: "Linda Walker" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Just curious as to what brand of saddles everyone uses for their Fjords? I read a post that someone used a Wintec Isabell and it didn't fit properly. What brand of dressage or western saddles fit the Fjords better? I currently own an Wintec Isabell and am looking to purchase a Fjord, but wouldn't be to happy if my saddle didn't fit. Of course, if it didn't fit, I would sell it and buy one that does. Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks
Fjord Gelding Wanted
This message is from: "Linda Walker" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I agree with all of the postings thus far on buying a Fjord. There is no such thing as a "bombproof" horse, and we, as riders, should expect to get bumped and bruised from time to time. It does come with the territory! When I do buy my Fjord gelding I will be taking lessons with an instructor. I am taking lessons already, I'm just using a schooling horse. My horse friends say that I'm not a bad rider, I just need to increase my confidence level. I do feel confident that when I start to spend more time in the saddle my nerves won't be on "high alert". I've been on spooking horses while under saddle and it does scare me. Luckily the horses that I've been on that have spooked have not run off. They've taken a few steps then stopped. Whew!!! I'm enjoying reading all of the members postings on buying a Fjord gelding. Keep em' coming! Thanks, Linda

This message is from: "Linda Walker" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> After posting my last message to the Fjord digest concerning the purchase of a Fjord gelding, I forgot to mention that it is desired to seek this gelding in WI or the surrounding states. The reason is that it is necessary for a trial ride before buying. Thanks

This message is from: "Linda Walker" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hi, My name is Linda and I'm new to the Fjord digest. I've been interested in horses for approximately four years now. I've owned three different breeds within those four years, an eight year old quarterhorse, an eight year old Arab and a twelve year old Spotted Saddle. None of these horses have worked out for me, and I no longer own any of them. I've had some bad experience with horses and due to my bad experience, I still am a timid rider. I've been doing a lot of research on different breeds and have come to the conclusion that I would like to buy a Fjord. My preferences are that this horse must be a gelding, well broke, has done extensive trail riding and has confidence in himself. Since I've been stung with buying bad horses, I'm being very cautious about finding my next horse. If anyone has or knows of anyone who has such a gelding, please email me. I live in Wisconsin and would prefer so look at Fjords closer to home. I look forward to reading about the stories that you all have to share. Sincerely, Linda
