I am looking for a companion horse for my Fjord gelding Peppertree's
Brenning (NFHR). Is Arkin up for being turned out with another horse?
Brenning doesn't really run around much (at least not like the mares) he's a
pretty mellow guy.
I live on a small 6 acre farm in Harvard MA with three horses. The other
two are a Perch x mare, and a QH mare. The two mares are dominant, and I
haven't had much luck in turning the three out together. I have 4 fenced
pastures of one acre or less, and an 8 stall barn (I use some of the stalls
for storage/tack). The horses are turned out all day, and come in at night.
Can you email me pictures of Arkin? Brenning is 5, and is very sweet and
playful, but the mares don't want him to come close to them. They don't mind
him over the fence though!
You say he needs a special shoe and some physical therapy; is he on any
consistent pain meds or any other kind of routine that I would need to
figure into whether or not I could afford to keep him? Can you send pictures
of the affected hoof and shoulder?
Regards,
Nancy L-S

Hi List,
I have put this off for months now...not sure how to go about it, but I am
getting behind and I need to do it now.
I have a brown dun, yearling gelding for sale. He is not your normal
fjord
however.
He is 13 hands, and fairly drafty. He has the most HANDSOME head you'll
find, his conformation is lovely (for the most part) and he has the BEST
personality you'll come across :) He is very mellow, personality PLUS,
Super
Super Sweet, a real clown. You can do anything to him. He loves to play
in
the water. Loves people, other horses life in general. However, he
is a
special needs horse. As a 2 week old foal, he ran into a tree, and hurt
himself. While he was in pain, he stopped using his front right leg
properly. Thus developing a club foot. We had the check ligament surgery
done to release his heal...but we didn't get the results we hoped for. So
he
is club footed, on that right front. He needs a shoe, and he should be
receiving some type of physical therapy work on that side, as his shoulder
is
now higher on that side also. I am just stretched too thin, so have
decided
to try and find him a home that will care for him better then I am able to
at
this time.
I honestly don't know if this horse will ever be more then just a pet
but
there might be someone out there willing to take a chance on him, or maybe
someone who can no longer ride or drive would still love to have a fjord
as a
pet, and you wouldn't have to feel any guilt over him not being used.
He
would make someone a GREAT best friend.
I've tried to keep his price low. Would love to just give him to someone
but
the sensible half (my husband) says we need to pay for some vet bills - so
that's all I'm asking for. If you might be interested, will live in
Maine,
I have pictures, and I'm asking $1000 for him. He is reg. with the NFHR
and
is cute as a bug! His name is Arkin ( ARK-in)
Thank you,
Aimee Day
