Thank you Angela and Deb for the very kind words. I enjoyed both your horses 
very much. I just have to add a few words about Giz.Being an Ole son, it 
might have swayed me a little, but I was sooo thrilled to have gotten him in 
for training. AND, even MORE thrilled to watch him transform. I saw him go 
from out of shape, not really wanting to work, to loving it and improving 
all this movements according to the cues given. Plus a wonderful canter on 
him, GREAT trot, super fun horse to ride.
At the same time I got 2 other Ole son's in. Henry and Gus. It really was so 
NEAT to have all these Ole boys. Gus went to VA and Henry is going to Karen 
Petty of WA. Can't brag enough about Ole, all have GREAT free flowing trots 
and GREAT CANTERS! Not to mention the brains, Fjord brains!! Having these 3 
Ole boys, it was like a little bit of Ole was still here with me.

Corrine xoxo to Ole from me
Thanks again girls, was my pleasure to work your horses.

quality mare for sale

2009-05-19 Thread bryhyl
This message is from: bry...@together.net

We are cutting back on Fjord breeding and have some fabulous mares. We are 
looking to sell MVF Raiya, hopefully to a breeding home. Raiya has top US 
evaluation BLUE conformation scores. She has a long strided walk and huge trot, 
balanced canter. She has produced 4 top quality youngsters; she is easy to 
breed and settle and is a fantastic mom.
Check her pedigree:
http://www.nfhr.org/ponyweb/ponyweb.cgi?horse=1090HorseName=mvf%20raiyaPage=1Sort=0
MVF RAIYA is full sister to MVF RAVEL, she is half sister to SNF FJELDE, the 
lovely mare owned by the Sorums doing so well in dressage. Raiya is one of only 
3 mares carrying on the fantastic RAMSTAD line. The Ramstads are big bodied, 
big moving Fjords. Raiya's dam, MVF Froya is by the famous Swedish stallion, 
ENE. I always enjoy training the Ene line, I find them good movers with willing 
minds. Both of MVF Raiya's parents were imported from Norway with top first and 
second premium sires and dams in their back ground.
Raiya is blind in one eye. She can still be ridden (was trained solid 1st level 
dressage), but it has been several years since she has been used for riding. We 
would prefer her to go to a breeding home. This is a great opportunity to add 
top quality blood lines to your breeding program.
Please contact me privately for more information, photos, etc.

Proper Vet Manners

2009-05-19 Thread Ann Longfellow
This message is from: Ann Longfellow annlongfel...@comcast.net

My Bjorn was terrified of shots.  I thought that he acquired his fear of
vets before I purchased him.  It turns out he had an iris cyst on his left
eye that severely limited his sight.  He had laser surgery to remove the
cyst a year ago.  He stands for the shots now.  He also used to bolt and I
never knew what might provoke it.  After 8 years of runaways I am trail
riding with more confidence and often a loose rein.  He still is sensitive
but will just startle, speed up for a few steps, and then settle down.  Ann

Lisa,
I'm in Chico California and sadly, I heard too late about the fjords that
got sent to slaughter.  I contacted Joe, at Thoroughbred Friends, and gave
him my name and number and he says he will let me know if he hears of any
more fjords in trouble.  He said that the last one at the feed lot in
Wilton, CA, was saved.

.  I contacted Joe, at Thoroughbred Friends,  also.
I told him if he has a chance to get a Fjord for himself he will not regret 
it. I live in SoCal but if I thought I may be able to rescue A Fjord I would 
give it some serious thought. I am not equiped to house several horses, nor 
do i wish to be, but if I could help ONE and find them a good home I am up 
for that.

So glad you have Anvil's Stina, mother of my Anvil's Adel and daughter of my old
mare Stella!  I was looking at Sylvia's pedigree and noted that she also goes 
back
to Ola Gik and Flicka through Kviten, while Stella goes back to Ola Gik and 
Flicka
through her dam, Line. Sylvia sure looks a lot like Stella!  It will be 
interesting
to see the new offspring from Tico bred to these mares
