Just finished reading about the evaluation done recently in  Fallbrook.  I 
wish I would have known about it sooner as I would have gone  if only to see 
more fjords!  I would like to be in contact with other fjord  
owners-preferrably 
stallion owners- in the southern Cal area, specifically, San  Diego county.  
Would there be any other upcoming events here locally?   I have recently 
started training again with an absolutely amazing person, Sarah  Pinney, and my 
mare, Fiona, (formerly Tyra) are making progress!  I would  gladly share more 
information about Sarah or Fiona if anyone is  interested!  Thanks for all the 
great info on this  site.

I want to take this opportunity also, to thank Phillip Odden and Sophie 
Fiedler and the others who helped make this evaluation and Fjord Show go as 
good as 
it did.
It was a pleasure to meet people face to face who I otherwise have only 
"known" through this List and e-mails back and forth.
It was great meeting all of you and again thank you all so very, very much 
for all your hard work and support.
I also want to thank Hank and Bitten Nors who put so much work into this, as 
well as the rest of the members there.
The horses did really good and it was very intersting to see the different 
types of Fjords all in one place.
It was very interesting to be able to see Dagrun Aarsten's Fjord, Quinn, who 
is now owned by Jenny Barnes and shown to perfection by her.
That was certainly a good match and Jenny really has done a great job with 
that horse, and she certainly used the tools that Dagrun put into that horse.
He is a beautiful horse and a great show horse.  How fun to see him in person 
after reading so much about him when Dagrun first got him.
A big congratulations to Dagrun, Jenny and Quinn.  (He has a different name 
now, but I have forgotten what it was.)
Again, Phillip and Sophie, - it was great meeting you.

Sincerely,
Rondi Tyler.
So. California.





Looking for Horse Bay Area

2005-10-08 Thread Gail Russell

Hi all,

A woman called me today wanting to purchase my Fjord mare that is currently
being trained by the boyfriend of this woman's riding instructor.  The
riding instructor told her to consider getting a Fjord because all the
Hafllingers she had been looking at were unable to canter.  This woman and
her young daughter want to trail and arena ride.  I think she said she is an
advanced beginner. The woman would like to ride western.  I am not sure
about the daughter.

She has young children, so cannot travel far to look at a horse.  If there
is anyone who has a Fjord that they could bring to the Bay Area for a trial
after she saw and approved pictures and video, it sounds like she would
provide a good home (lots of trail riding in Nicasio and her instructor is a
very human natural horsemanship type person...her boyfriend learned his
skills from Tom Dorrance and Bryan Neubert) and can pay a reasonable price
for a trained Fjord.  She is not looking for a green horse that is unable to
canter under saddle.  

Leela Standal's gelding Majson's B.. is for sale this weekend in Aptos.  He
might be a good horse for her, but there is already someone scheduled to
look at him tomorrow morning.  I expect he will sell quickly.

Anyway..if anyone has suggestions, let me know.

Gail Russell

Mike,

Do you know if the Canadian Registry or any other registries have any
penalties for cross breeding Fjords?


No I am afraid I don't know.

You get  my vote for proud horsie mom of the year! : )) I also agree
condemning that  which we do not know across the board is dangerous. I am
glad that you took  it upon yourself to give these 3 a chance.



Thank you! and my cross mares will not ever be bred and my half Fjord, half  
Standardbred colt will be having brain surgery soon!
