Yeah Gail, I wish that too! It was sad to see him, overweight and standing  
in a stall doing nothing.

This stallion was trained by someone who was accustomed to much hotter
horses, that can be manipulated by essentially scaring them into doing
things.  I doubt it is the temperament.more likely the training.  

I know this horse's blood lines, and there are some very nice horses in
them.

The dam is Lena.  I had one of her daughters, and she was beautiful
(particularly her head!) and very sweet.  The sire was Modellen, who
produces fine horses.

I wish some knowledgeable Fjord breeder could take him on and preserve his
bloodlines.

.. You'd definitely remember Diamont, the uls dun stallion who
nearly killed his handler at Skandifest the year before.  I tried
to get  some info so I could post ads on this list and others, but she didn't
return my  emails.

I see that the horses are still for sale. It's a shame, because there  are so
few Fjords in CA, let along the Bay Area, but I can't recommend these to 
buyers because of the inflated prices. Oh yeah, and their color is

champagne



I hope no one on this list will help promote a stallion, or assist in 
his finding a new home as a stallion, with a visious temperment as 
you said  Diamont has who nearly killed his handler at Skandifest 
the year before.  We had a terrible incident in Michigan with a 
stallion attaching his owner, an ederly gentleman, who was critically 
injured as was one women who tried to help.  the man who finally 
subdued the stallion had serious injuries also.   This stallion's 
stallion offspring  should be assessed carefully for temperment.

Hi Everyone-
 
Those of you who've been to Skandifest in California might remember  
Peppertree's Christian, the young stallion owned by Bob Thompson and shown by  
Dorothy 
McPherson. You'd definitely remember Diamont, the uls dun stallion who  
nearly killed his handler at Skandifest the year before. These Fjords and their 
 
offspring are for sale in Santa Cruz, and have been for over a year. I went and 
 
met with Dorothy, looked at the horses, and gave her some advice, like, no 
one  is going to pay $15k for an untrained filly, and winning one class against 
two  competitors at Skandifest does not make a stallion a champion. I tried 
to get  some info so I could post ads on this list and others, but she didn't 
return my  emails.
