for sale; and wanted
This message is from: Nathan Lapp [EMAIL PROTECTED] (1) We have a yearling filly for sale. (2) Our neighbor wants (not-expensive) pair of fjords First, the filly is Tianna, out of Onalee and Elof. Onalee is an Erlend daughter, expected to mature at 14.2 hands, eager worker and agile. Elof (recently passed away) was a 15-hand Grabb grandson. Tianna is smart and friendly (aren't all fjords like that?!), a plucky little girl that doesn't mind trying new things when asked. She is long legged and fast moving, always outrunning her yearling pasture mate in their playful competitions. Tianna's asking price is $3300. Second, an aging neighbor of ours wants a pair of Fjords to replace his black percheron team he trained himself. He has a small farm and does most of the work with his team, and expects the fjords would be able to accomplish what needs to be done. He's willing to take young, old, or untrained in order to start without too much money, he said. At this time he has only $5,000. He's a gentle old man and would make a fine caretaker, however I wouldn't recommend he gets anything wild as he is not strong.

Tommes Rafael update
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi All- Enjoying your posts, as always. Tommes Rafael are doing great. Finally got serious about working/exercising them and they are much happier. Their personalities are so different, it's funny. Tommes loves to work: he gets into it and focuses so hard. Rafael, on the other hand, looks at me every minute as if to say we done yet? What characters. Guess that's what attracted me to this breed. Personality plus, plus! I am emailing from Sacramento, CA on my trusty portable computer. I'm here for the horse expo. I'll let you all know how it is! Brigid
Re: Short horses??!
This message is from: Jean Ernest [EMAIL PROTECTED] John and Gail Tobin who have Fjords here (In North Pole, Alaska,outside of Fairbanks) have one that is 13 hands or under,but he is the best looking one of their three. Their daughter, Vianne, rode him in a little scooling show last weekend and he won or placed in every class he entered, against big quarterhorses and arabs, etc. I heard many people commenting what a great little horse he was! Vianne and Tandor have their picture in the last Fjord Herald, on page 29. He bosses around his big 15-1 hh pasture mate, Riktor. Jean in Fairbanks, Alaska, where my trainer mounted and rode my 4 year old filly Adel for the first time today. No problems! What a good girl!

He MAY be 13.0 if he stretches up really tall and one isn't so careful to make sure everything's level! He'll be 4 in July so I'm not sure he'll grow anymore. And then I read everywhere in the list about all these tall Fjords (heck, 13.2 is sounding tall to me these days!) and how they're 14, or 14.1 and still growing and I just kinda whimper inside. So how about it, anyone have any SHORT Fjords they want to brag upon? I can't have the only one out there, can I??! On a different note, Tyr's at his 3rd trainer, and altho I saw this trainer get bucked off Sunday (2 hops, all 4 feet 1' off the ground and one trainer on the ground) I think this guy will do the trick. He promptly put his wife on Tyr, led her around, then gave her control, got his son on him, and slowly worked Tyr into going into a trot on command. Trainer says that he pushed him too fast (showing off for me is likely) and wasn't prepared for the bucking. He'd already had Tyr out earlier that day and ridden him with no problems, but he'd taken his time working Tyr into a trot. Hi-ho, maybe we'll be riding by the end of the summer. That would suit me too. I'm willing to wait a few more months to end up with a horse that I can ride. Casey, who wishes she had one of every color of Fjord there is after reading the last few weeks.

Re: Short horses??!
This message is from: Nathan Lapp [EMAIL PROTECTED] So how about it, anyone have any SHORT Fjords they want to brag upon? I can't have the only one out there, can I??! I've heard Ring in Massachusetts is only 13-some. And there's a nice picture of him in the Spring Fjord Herald. I saw an attractive small mare at Julia Will's place one time, boarded there for breeding, I think. Sometime I want a 13 hand, very gentle Fjord for my brother-in-law who is crippled in his legs. I wonder if Ring has any offspring small like himself. I've heard he has a special temperament. Hang in there! Great things come in small packages. Barbara Lyn

Re: Short horses??!
This message is from: Jean Gayle [EMAIL PROTECTED] Regarding short horses...My unfriendly one Gunnar is probably about 13.2 almost a hand shorter than my former fjord. At first I was embarrassed when I rode as I am a large person. However I am assured by friends that we do look balanced ( actually he is a very unbalanced fellow but we will get there.) Re bucking, gain a lot of weight. I am heavy set and when riding Gunnar the other day (he is still new to me) he decided he was through and started toward the arena door. I had heard that he could buck. I just gave him a strong heel in the ribs to turn him back and his ears went back, his back rounded. I held my bit contact and cropped him on the shoulder at the same time and he moved on. I think, clever me, that he did not buck because I weigh so much. My former horse also bucked with his trainer but never with me. I am not that good a rider so I think it is the weight factor. Yes? Ahem!

This message is from: Steve McIlree [EMAIL PROTECTED] Last year I asked Pat Holland of Green Valley Farm if she would design a logo for the list. Pat, who is a very talented artist as well as the trainer at Green Valley sent me a really charming picture. She has kindly consented to the use of the picture on a Tee-shirt for list members. I have looked into having the shirts made, using 4-color process screening. The price will be entirely dependent on how much interest there is in purchasing the shirts, because there is a hefty setup charge to be absorbed, but hopefully it could be under $11 on a good quality shirt. Have a look at Pat's design at http://members.home.net/smcilree/shirt.htm , then let me know by private e-mail if you would be interested in buying a shirt or shirts. Also, if you could let me know what size(s) you would need it would help in putting together an order. -- Steve McIlree Cynthia Madden -- Pferd, Keyah, Skipper, Tank -- Omaha, Nebraska, USA Men are better when riding, more just and more understanding, and more alert and more at ease... --Edward Plantagenet(1373-1413)

This message is from: Catherine Lassesen [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hello... The wonderful rider at the evaluations in Eugene on her stallion was Gayle Ware and Dusty. I was there but did not ride my horses. Felt it better to have a professional ride them during the testing. Maybe next time. I am not sure, I would get the same comments on my skills... The photograph on the cover is ours... It's lovely Marikape... daughter of Lupin and Sven. I have not seen it myself cannot wait to see how it looks. thank you for the compliments!

Re: Short horses??!
This message is from: Anneli Sundkvist [EMAIL PROTECTED] When I worked in the Fjordcamp we had Fjords of all sizes. The largest one, I belive was standing 15'2 (154 cm) and his name was 'Bamse' who can be a nickname for something really large. The smallest one was only 12'3 (128 cm). His name was Grappo, but he was always referred to as 'Knatten' which means 'the little guy' in Swedish. We also had a gang that stood around 13 hands, but the majority was 13'3 - 14'2. My present Fjord, Cider, is 14'2 (144 cm) Good to hear that you seem to have found a good trainer for Tyr!
