Hi Corinne,I don't have a short Fjord for sale, but I am responding to your
e-mail because ever since I got my 13.2 hand mare, I've wondered if there
are 12.1 or 12.2 hand Fjords out there, so I am happy to hear that you have
one. She must be so totally adorable! I would love a small one too!  Just
can't afford any more horses right now...
But would you send a pic of your shorty?!
Thanks

Hello to you;

I just want to tell you that I believe that a dead broke horse is either to 
old or someone is telling stories.  Our fjords are great but they do have a 
jump in them once in a while or something is happening around them.  They do 
handle it well and if they have lots of hours on them everyday, maybe they 
wouldn't jump if something surpise them on a trail.  I think that I can get 
you a couple of Fjords that are dead broke like that or so the people say 
that have them.  I will also read the ads that you are putting up on the web 
site.


Get back to me if you like and just maybe we could get a market for these 
fjords.  Thank you.


Debbie

Hello There,



I yet again was passed on a person that is looking for a dead broke older
Fjord for under $4500.00.  Yet again, I wrote these people and explained 
the

Fjord market to them.  I will list their wants on our Fjords for Sale page
at www.hestehaven.com <http://www.hestehaven.com/>  .

Here is what I said. please, if you talk to potential buyers.do us all a
great service when talking with them. do not play down the value of our
breed. I tend to get telephone calls and inquiries from buyers that think
they can get a "dead broke" for under $4500. I do state on our website the
average price (as I see it right now) is at the $6500 to $8500 range for a
trained Fjord. Yes, there are bargains out there. but they are far and few
between.



If you have a dead broke Fjord for sale under $4500 please contact me. I
have potential buyers from around the world wanting to talk to you. :-)



--



"Thank you for your email.  I do not know any Fjord that is available at
$4500 with the talents you have mentioned. I will keep an eye out for you
and mention your wants on our FREE ad website, with your permission to 
list

your email for a contact. There may be someone out there willing to sell
their older Fjord with the talents for that price, but most Fjord farms 
will
keep this type of Fjord at the farm for their clients rather than under 
sell

their talented Fjord.  Unfortunately your first purchase is what happens
with new Fjord owners. At $4500 buyers will normally get a green broke, 
bad
habits, or younger Fjord. If you could afford $6500 to $8500, you will 
have

a lot more to select from in the market. This may not be what you want to
hear, but it is how I see the Fjord market as of today.



With the price of hay, fuel, boarding, and training, the cost of raising a
Fjord from birth to 5 years old is not longer $3500; it is more like
$10,000. So, a 5 year old under $8500 is a real bargain, however, a 5 year
old only has 2 years under saddle and maybe an additional year of cart
training. .."

Jerry,
Thank you for your comment. I do admit my range is on the low side. However,
per Dream Horse Ads and other ads, I can find more Fjords listed in that
range for potential clients than I can at the $4500 or less range. :-) 

We all know... a good Fjord is worth his weight in GOLD...  I have a few
that if some one offered me a million US Dollars... I may just have to turn
them down. :-) I may not... but I have not been offered that price yet! :-)

Hi Karen.  Thanks for the response.  Yes, I know Beth and she's been

to ride her wonderful gelding, BDF Magnum, in a lesson last week. 
What a neat horse!


Thanks to everyone who has responded with horses for sale.  There are 
some really nice Fjords out there!  I wish my budget would allow me 
to go up in price because I think then I'd find the perfect 
combination of a Fjord that can do dressage and trails plus a little 
jumping for fun.  But I've already lost too much money on dressage 
horses that ended up with soundness problems, so for now I can only 
afford a trail horse.  I love the idea of a sensible, sure footed, 
wide bodied and comfortable little horse to take out on mountain 
trail rides -- and the Fjords sound like a good fit for that!  I hear 
they're addictive, though, so maybe in the future I can look for a 
sporthorse type ;-)

Subject: Fjord wanted for trails/dressage

This message is from: Amy Goodloe <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Hi all.  I've been lurking on this list for a few days and have 
already learned a lot!  I've had my eye on Fjords now for several 
years and have finally decided that I want to buy one, so I thought 
I'd let you know what I'm looking for in case anyone has any possible 
matches for sale.

The short version is that I want a sure-footed, sensible trail horse 
that can also do a little dressage (training level at schooling 
shows) -- rather than a dressage horse that can also do some trail 
riding, if you see the difference.  Three or older, 14h or over and 
fairly stout, gelding or mare (slight preference for mare), and at 
least green broke but ideally has some trail experience already.

Here's the longer version.  I like riding a horse that is willing to 
go forward, not out of nervous tension or excessive energy, just 
happy to move out under saddle.  And I like riding a horse that is 
responsive to the rider's aids, that moves away from the leg and is 
light in the hands, or that has the potential to be light (I'd rather 
have a green horse that just needs education about lightness than to 
retrain a heavy horse).  Three good, comfortable gaits would be nice, 
including a decent canter that the horse offers easily.  And I'd 
prefer a horse with balanced conformation, so that it's not built 
downhill and therefore naturally heavy on the forehand.  Brave, 
sensible, non-spooky, cooperative, friendly, totally sound and 
uncomplicated to work with both on the ground and under saddle.

I would prefer to stay around or under $5000, so that's why I say 
that I'm looking for a trail horse that can do low level dressage 
rather than the other way around.  I also have to consider the cost 
of shipping (and would prefer to stay within about 1000 miles of 
Colorado, to keep shipping costs down).

If you know of anything for sale that might be a good match, please 
let me know.  I will try to go out to see a horse in person, but if 
that isn't possible due to a remote location, then I may be willing 
to buy off a video if it shows me everything I need to see.

Most of my horses are drafts and draft crosses so I'm familiar with 
the issues common to this type of horse, but one of the reasons I 
want a Fjord is to have the drafty substance and sensibility in a 
package that is a better size for trail riding than a full sized 
draft!

Thanks,

--Amy

This is from Debi Williams in Erie Pa  i don't talk often but I ave a
question
I'm very new and only have a couple youngsters.  I get these inquiries a
couple times a month.  I have been saving the ones listed on the emails and
have passed these on.  But there seems to be a big demand for our horses and
not enough to go around.  I'd like to see lots of good Fjords in great
homes.  Any suggestions on how to make these connections.
Fjords are different and I wouldn't want to see them go to the wrong
riders for them.  Se the results each week at the many local auctions.

Fjords are pricey, however I'm interested in an older guy who is ready to
