ungroomed Fjord for sale at California Draft Horse Auction
This message is from: Mary Ofjord ma...@boreal.org Thanks for putting into words what I was thinking also. Unkempt, skanky, ill fitting tack and the sad thing is that this might be the first time some folks actually see a Fjord horse. Some of the other larger draft horses were very well groomed, and my first impression of the Haflingers was they were kind of shaggy too, until I saw the poor Fjord. Buttercup - I am hoping that someone gets her and not only loves her but grooms her and at least tacks her up correctly. Horrors! If there ever was a picture of the worst fitting tack, this is a front runner. What in the world is that HUMONGOUS! halter doing over that crappy bridle? I mean seriously? __ Information from ESET Smart Security, version of virus signature database 5942 (20110310) __ The message was checked by ESET Smart Security. http://www.eset.com Important FjordHorse List Links: Subscription Management: http://tinyurl.com/5msa7e FH-L Archives: http://tinyurl.com/rcepw Classified Ads: http://tinyurl.com/5b5g2f

training of fjords
This message is from: Debby miss.am...@earthlink.net Iâm going to visit a Friesian trainer this next week. Having been in such a rural area and no trainers in dressage that Iâve been happy with, I am hopeful that I will be happy with what I see. She is a friesian breeder/trainer and shows. She is originally from Germany. Speaking with her she seems to think a lot along the lines of classical dressage, light hand, move from lightness. She feels the temperment of the friesian demands this and Iâm wondering too if that is the case for fjords, or at least Ynde. My Langster that I lost last year was very forward and light, almost too forward as if evading the leg on him. Ynde is not forward and some would tend to kick kick kick and tap tap tap and cluck cluck cluck and still not get anywhere with her. Yet watch her move in the pasture and how forward she is, some really nice working trots and she can surely canter from one place to the other but lunging and undersaddle, she poops out. Iâm close to 60yrs. of age, I havenât the knowledge nor the strength nor the balance to do right by her and at her 8yrs. of age, she needs it now. We had started her and then she threw some things at us that we didnât know what to do...shouldering in, taking husband to the corner of the arena : ) all those fun things. She didnât do it with me so much as I stayed off of the rail, did a lot of change of directions and stayed away from those corners. But, I had my Lang to go to and enjoy and he was easy and I was blessed to have a horse that pretty much just did without any worries for me. So my plan, at this time as my plans seem to change as the weather, is to have her do undersaddle work with her in the arena and in the fields, exposure, and then I will think of trying to place her. She, the trainer, can only visit this barn 3 times a week, it has a covered screened large dressage arena so never an excuse to not ride, we will look when we visit. We will go up and visit her at least once a week, groom her, watch a lesson. Iâm hopeful that no more than 90days, maybe less..we will have to see how she does. Wondered what everyones thoughts were. What I should watch for. How much to expect in 30days. Ynde is green but started and I do think with the right trainer, she will come along quickly. Its more like she is being restarted and with a trainer rather than me. Will only be dressage, no jumping nor driving..but some trail riding to give her that exposure. thanks.

Debby: It all depends on the person who gets your horse. I've seen instances where the best trained horse goes bad in a few short months just because the person who owns them hasn't a clue about horsemanship. This has happened to a friend of mine whom I thought had a better handle on her horsemanship skills. All the horses she has had in the past 5-6 years have gone down the road. Why? Because they started to buck - probably more like a crow hop, but it unseated her and she became fearful. She came up to ride on my horses and the first thing she asked was Does he buck? So, even if the trainer can ride your horse doesn't mean the next person who gets her will be able to do the same. On the other hand, if the horse's personality fits her new owner, then magic can happen.

RE: Fjord for sale at California Draft Horse Auction
This message is from: Karen McCarthy weeg...@hotmail.com I just recieved a phone call from David, the owner of 'Buttercup' the mare who is to be sold @ the Calif. Draft Horse Auction. He said his 11 yr old daughter rides her but needs a new mount as she feels she is too heavy for the mare. The mare rides drives and he bought her from the Amish in Mo. She is not registered. I asked him if he would sell her privately b4 the auction and he did not want to do this as he has promised the auctioneer (a friend of his) that he would have a Fjord at his sale. Whatever...If you are interested in learning more about her, I have his phone # and will fwd it to anyone who requests it. Lastly, I asked if he had a reserve on her, and he does not. FWIW, he is also selling a minature horse listed in the catalog as 'Tony'.

Amish Trained Horses

I have a problem with this generalized statement! There are good Amish horse trainers that train horse for other people. So please be careful making statements like this. By the way, there is at least one Amish on this forum. Take care!

The Amish use their horses in many different ways, their horses get exposed to a lot of situations, and have been doing so for many years. Best of all they are not into a 30 day program, like so many of the big names out there on TV. This information is at best 3 hand, hardy reliable. Jerry, in N. Ca.
