RE: Fjord Horse Sales
This message is from: "Tom & Jerri Rounsville" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Well said. Thank you. -Original Message- I guess this needs to be restated. This has always been the rule on advertising of everything on this list, but I will repeat here with emphasis added. Advertising of items for sale on the list should be limited to BRIEF SALES LISTS to be repeated no more often than ONCE A MONTH. For example, if one has five horses for sale, they may post a list of all five horses, containing their name, breeding, sex, size, age, price and a BRIEF description of training or suitability. If a prospective buyer wants more detail about a specific horse they may contact the seller by private e-mail. The same policy will hold for the advertising of harness, tack, vehicles, feeds, books or any other goods appropriate for sale on the list. As to the subject of horses being priced higher when offered on this list than when advertised elsewhere; as you can see there hasn't been any rule stated. That said, I believe if a case of double pricing were to be documented and brought to my attention, I would be inclined to ban the guilty party from further participation on the list. Now for those who are tired of seeing horses for sale, please remember you have a delete button as well as, I presume, a Fjord. It may surprise you but many people join the list specifically to find their first Fjord. -- Steve McIlree Owner/Administrator FjordHorse List

RE: Konggard daughter
This message is from: "Tom & Jerri Rounsville" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Where did you find this horse near Niagara falls. This is just a couple of hours from me. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, February 09, 2005 1:19 AM To: fjordhorse@angus.mystery.com Subject: Konggard daughter This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I wish you well with Tyra. Be sure to follow starving horse guidelines and start her eating again slowly; others here know much more than I do. I have a Konggard daughter and she is the sweetest thing, so hopefully yours will go back to being that too. I am sure she will name herself in due time. Speaking of buying horses far away, we bought our second Fjord this summer in Canada near Niagara Falls. We saw photos, went up to see her and tried her out, had the local vet look at her, and decided to go back with the horse trailer. It is about a nine hour drive each way. After dragging my husband all the way up to see her, there is a lot of pressure. You really never know what you are getting till you get a horse home and ride where you ride and put it in with your horses. On the way up with the horse trailer empty, my husband had me drive most of the day, his reasoning being, "so you won't buy a horse any further away, ever." Probably workedHopefully I will have her forever, she is great. Valerie Columbia, CT
RE: Curious.....?!
This message is from: "Tom & Jerri Rounsville" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> this could have been written by me. I am very interested in a horse at least 8 hours away. This will be my first Fjord and I don't want to make a mistake. The person who owns him sounds honest and very nice. She has sent pictures that also are very nice. I am also wondering about the vet and how to know what to ask if this is what I am really looking for. After all it is a BIG investment. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Reena Giola Sent: Tuesday, February 08, 2005 6:07 PM To: fjords Subject: Curious.?! This message is from: "Reena Giola" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hi All Gus is finally starting to shed, all of those nice long hairs...and they never seem to stop coming out no matter HOW long I groom.!!! ok, on to my curious question I've always lucked out when I've bought my horses, that they have been near me and I was able to get to know them 'so to speak' and test ride before buying.but I know that won't always be the case. How do you all go about buying? if it's far from you, do you ask for a video? then fly/drive to see them? if not, and you purchase the horse, do you have a local vet examine them where they live or when they arrive? How do you make sure that said horse is exactly what you're looking for?! This kind of came up when the message about the underweight fjord, Tyra came through and all of the problems she had before the horse even got to her.. Reena

We have two fjords and have been going to Libby for some years with our gelding Per. It's always been a great event for us. Do you know which class he will be in so that I can ask Sally what time I should be there. I know they start early in the morn and it runs all day. We only live about 8 miles from there and our property borders the Pilchuck Tree Farm so we have a great place to ride and drive in our neighborhood. You said he is from Stillmeadows and we know Hallie from when she lived on Orcas Island and had the first Fjords that we had ever seen. We were smitten and had to have that breed.Perhaps I'll hear from you before Sunday and see if I can't find a buyer. In our immediate area we have two breeders, Peggy Enge and Solvieg Watanade. Sounds like a great guy,Krist and Jeanine Martinsen - Original Message - From: Teressa Kandianis<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: fjordhorse@angus.mystery.com<mailto:fjordhorse@angus.mystery.com> Sent: Wednesday, February 02, 2005 11:49 AM Subject: gelding for sale This message is from: "Teressa Kandianis" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>> My 7 year old gelding,Merit, is for sale. He has been trained in driving by Brian Jensen, singles and pairs. He has been in 5 day a week training for dressage, hunter and jumper for over a year. His jumping form is very correct. He is the darling of the training barn, affectionate and loveable. He was at his first "away" show in Libby last September as was I. We were both very nervous but we placed third in the fab forties class. (I am an over-50 beginning rider and horse person so I'm not really cantering yet.) He is brown dun, 14.1 hh, and is CFHR registered. He placed in the ribbons in large classes in the October Classic Hunter/Jumper Show in Monroe, WA. last October and wasn't affected by "away" show nerves there. A 16 yo from my barn rode him in several large classes. I somehow ended up with 4 fjords - don't ask me how. And as beginning rider/drivers, my husband and I really need to just have one horse each to work with. But, as all fjord owners know, the emotional connections are strong and it is hard to make the decision to sell. If someone wants to see him in person in Western Washington, Merit will be jumping at a schooling school at Collinswood Farm on Sunday, February 6 (this weekend). It is at the Stanwood Equestrian Center, 28119 Old Pacific Highway, Stanwood, WA. He is still in a full training schedule at Fox Bay Farm in Ferndale, Washington and can also be seen there. If anyone would like to see photos of Merit, please email me and I will send some. I am asking $6,000 for him. Teressa Kandianis Ferndale, Washington (Just north of Bellingham)
