Fjord Gelding for sale in Alaska
This message is from: Sarah Donchi sdon...@yahoo.com Hello Alaska fjord peeps! I'm just passing along this super little fjord gelding for sale up here. Follow the craigslist post to contact his current owners. I used to own him, and I can provide more information and pictures also. The ad doesn't really do him justice - he rides English/Western, drives single or double, and packs. Rides out by himself, leads across bridges and rivers, doesn't spook, has pulled farm implements and done parades. With consistent riding he is fine with beginners. I would buy him back if I thought I could use him enough, but I have a full barn now and a new business. I originally purchased him because he needed to be rescued, and he came around so nicely that I hated to sell him, but ultimately he is too small for us and one too many horses. He is 15 now, but as far as I know has never been abused or overworked, so he should have another 15 years of good use.

Fjord gelding for sale
This message is from: kathleen jesse kmje...@unm.edu It takes a community. Several members of the RMFHC and 4 Winds Equestrian Retreat and Wellness Center in Central New Mexico are helping to facilitating the sale of four Norwegian Fjord horses from the Sangre De Christo Youth Ranch. These horses are the offspring of Norwegian Fjord horse foundation stock imported from Norway almost thirty years ago. The Sangre De Christo Youth camp is a small scale working/teaching ranch that sponsors a free summer camp to city kids offering them the opportunity to experience riding and caring for horses, farming, milking goats, and an opportunity to experience sustainable living principals in practice. The ranch was started in the mid 80's by Dr. Bud Wilson and his wife Barbara. After teaching cardiac surgery in India, Bud and his family moved to the ABQ area where he helped establish the cardia-thoracic surgery program and UNM School of Medicine. In 1985, the Wilsons purchased 700 pristine acres in Llama, New Mexico to start their youth ranch. The Wilsons wanted a riding program to be one of the main stays of the camp, and in researching various types of horses, they learned of the hardiness, intelligence, even temperament and versatility of the Norwegian Fjord horse. They purchased and imported two stallions and six mares from Norway to begin their riding program. From 1985 until the present these horses and their offspring have been ridden, driven, played with, etc. by countless children. The residential camp is completely free. It is run on a small budget by a small staff, volunteers, and the Doctor. Due to the extreme drought conditions on the ranch and the rising cost of maintaining the riding program, SCYR needs to downsize their historic herd of Norwegian Fjords. Curly Moe (King Haakon x Vilde) is one of four horses for sale from the SCYR herd. He is a 9 y/o 14hh dun gelding. Great, fun horse! Currently in training with trainer, Patty Wilber. Nice gaits, great trot, well mannered, will go anywhere on the trail. He needs an experienced, consistent rider to complete his training . Curly Moe is $1500.

Nice Red Dun Fjord Gelding for Sale
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi everyone! It's been ages since I've posted here or over at the other Fjord List. Life has been getting in the way of me having much down time. I'm catching up on reading many conversations and enjoying all the 'Fjord Talk' again! The company my husband works for has shut down half of their business and will be moving it's offices soon. Not sure if we'll be moving along with them...holding our breath here. Anyway, they have dear hubby traveling ALOT lately. Poor man has been to 10 states in one month. The traveling will continue and with jobs as scarce as they are, he can't exactly say no. We purchased a really nice red dun gelding for him last year (before things got crazy) so that he could go accompany us on the trails. Solvin', his gelding, is 10 years old, 14.2 hds., sweet dispositioned and loves going out on trail. At the moment, Solvin is being ridden 3 to 4 times a week by a wonderful young lady...an equestrian college student. Unfortunately she will be going back to her university in the fall and Solvin will have no rider. I do not have the time, as I have 2 other horses and a business to run. I would like to have Solvin find a great home. His asking price is $6500, but that is negotiable. He is registered with the NFHR NFR-L- 1171-G. Up to date on all things, Coggins and Health.Cert. provided. Solvin's Photos (and a pastel portrait I painted of him) can be viewed at my webpage: www.fullmoonfarm.us Scroll down to the 'Gelding for Sale' link. Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Handsome Fjord Gelding for Sale
This message is from: Melissa Waters [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi Everyone, I am looking for a home for my gelding. Here is some information about him. Please contact me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] if you would like more information or pictures. Bo Fjord's Leif is a handsome 12 yr old registered Fjord gelding. He is broke to ride and very green broke drive. Up to date on vaccinations, worming and farrier. What Leif has done: Primarily Leif has been used for pasture riding on the roads and fields around my home for the past few summers. He doesnt have a lot of formal training but is a calm and steady guy. I boarded him at a stable and took a month of riding lessons on him two summers ago. He was great in the arena with other horses. I took a beginners driving clinic with him and he did great, was harnessed and pulling shafts by the end of the day. We have had him hitched to a cart a couple of times and driven around our pastures but havent done a lot of work with the driving. Reason for selling: Leif is really at his best when he is being worked regularly. He could use some training to help him reach his potential as a riding and driving horse. I currently do not have the time or expertise to offer him what he needs. Additional Items: Leif comes with a complete driving harness, simple two wheel cart, Wintec English saddle and bridle.

Fjord Gelding for sale
This message is from: Onna Kulaja [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi, I have decided to sell my 10 year old gelding. He has had over 4 months of Parelli and has been used as an arena horse for dressage. Scored 60 and 65 in schooling shows. He would have scored much higher, if an experienced rider had shown him, but unfortunately it was me doing the showing. Ha. Probably one of the cutes Fjords you will find. He is 13.2 and divided in equal thirds, so to speak. Very athletic, can jump the blue barrels, and loves the arena work. He is forward moving and after riding him consistently will trot if you just think the word. Moves well off the leg. Needs more work on the canter. He would require an experienced rider. I am selling him below what he is really worth because of lack of trail experience. Up to date on everything. He is also alpha in nature. Very sweet with ground manners, farrier, grooming, etc, but must be head horse. Doesn't kick or bite. If interested, contact me privately.

Fjnominal Fjord gelding for sale
This message is from: Gayle Ware [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi From Field of Dreams, If anyone is looking for a BEEN THERE - DONE THAT great gelding, this fellow is it. He is 11 years old and stands close to 15 hands. He is sired by Woodland's Dustin and is out of Paradise's Celebrity, whom I sold to a 911 firefighter from NY City. Dusty has his Blue in Conformation and Gold Medallions in Western English through the NFHR Evaluation. Celebrity has two offspring that have earned performance medallions in Western so this guy, Dustin's Ely, comes with credentials plus. I sold Ely as a youngster to a gal from here in Eugene. I did his initial training and we showed him with success. He also participated in an Expo in Albany, Oregon. A few years later his owner moved to eastern Oregon and took him on camping trips there. He most recently was ridden by two young girls in jumping. I have been riding him myself and have also used him for lessons. GEEZ, he is nice! He has a great, cadenced jog, nice extended trot, slow collected canter, a 'Gayle' stop, very correct rollbacks (AKA haunch turns). This guy could be competitive in Open Pleasure classes. He is really a nice mover. I would love to see him go to someone who would be interested in having him evaluated at some point in the near future. He definitely has what it takes to earn Gold Medallions! His original owners have divorced so he is now looking for a new family. He is priced to sell and is a real bargain at $5500. He can be seen on my website under Winning Offspring. Take a look. If anyone is interested in scheduling an appointment to see him or would like more information, my barn number is 541-485-2730 or you can email me. I don't 'hang out' by the phone very often since I spend most of my waking hours riding and training so you may have to leave a message, but I will return the call as soon as humanly possible.

5 y.o. Fjord gelding for sale, Seattle area
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I have been training a wonderful gelding named Elvis :-) for owner Roni Hale for the past two months. She has come to the conclusion that he should go to someone who will give him a job and develop his full potential. She may consider a trade for an older, rock solid trail horse. Elvis is a tall guy (maybe 14h3, one day I'll get hold of a stick and measure him). He is definitely an above average mover and is pretty lively for a fjord - but not difficult to control. Nice straight legs and well proportioned overall, good neck that thins off just right by the throatlatch so that going on the bit is fairly easy for him. I think he would be super for a serious dressage rider. After only a few sessions under saddle he already cantered left and right lead several rounds around the arena, in good balance. He also does nice flying changes when running and playing. Not all fjords do that as easily. His trot is powerful and metronome steady. He has been on the trail in company (not alone so far) and enjoyed that a lot. Other than that he is a typical fjord - friendly, cuddly, playful, smart, barn favorite etc. Asking price $5,000. Elvis is under registration. His sire is OTTAR 388-B and his dam is ARLA 2218-B. Please email me or call me for additional information at (206) 245 4189. Dagrun in Sammamish, WA

bursis? in Fjord gelding/for sale to flat home
This message is from: Kim Nord [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi all: I have an 11yo Fjord gelding I purchased last October. You may remember he was in a difficult situation out to pasture at a horse trader's farm for six months. After I brought him home he made a rather miraculous recovery from a rather suspicious guy with bad feet to a lovely and willing trail buddy with great (!) feet! However, although he was very sound for about three months, he started favoring his left front going up and down our steep trails. He was examined by our vet, our chiropractor, and our massage therapist and injected, massaged and adjusted. After three adjustments the chiropractor said he was in fine shape; after three massages the massage therapist said the only reason to continue massages is because he enjoyed them so much! The vet diagnosised a bursis (don't know how it is spelled but it is an injury to and inflammation of his right pectoral) and put him on Adequan once a week for six weeks with a follow up injection a month after the sixth injection, light work following the sixth injection. Yesterday (after the sixth injection) we put him in one of our pastures which is accessed by a steep road (he had been in a barn paddock or our arena for the last six weeks). I noticed he seemed to be favoring his left front again. ARG! My vet says he should stay sound with light work if we keep him on the flat. What flat?!? We are in western NC in the heart of the mountains and don't have flat. From 13 horses I have finally gotten down to four, two Fjords and two Friesians, and now only have three that are ridable (and the Friesians are both very young and green). My fiance and my son both say we need to find him a flat home and replace him with another gelding that can be ridden immediately by novices (them and friends). Intellectually I have to agree with them as the purpose of getting down to only four horses was so we could all interact and bond with the ones we have and still have time to ride! But emotionally I hate to sell this guy after what he has been thru. Although he has not been here long enough for the rest of the family to forge a bond, I have. He has had a rough couple of years and I sure don't want to make it any rougher. Andrew's foal date is 6/29/94. He is 14.3hh, and his sire is Valea's Lee, dam is Fair Acres Chloe (Anvil's Torbjorn). He was a much loved stallion at a breeding farm in (I believe Wisconsin)and was both ridden and driven by the owner until he had a heart attack. While he was recovering his family dispersed his herd as he would no longer be able to care for them. He was sold at auction, gelded, and would have been resold at auction had he and one other not contracted strangles. So the trader turned him out in the woods and just let him make or break it on his own. When I bought him Andrew was alittle aloof and reserved. That lasted about two weeks. He now has the typical Fjord temperment, calm, thoughtful, willing if slightly stubborn. He is somewhat affectionate, and very patient. He rides smoother and more powerfully than my older gelding. When we first started him on the trails he pulled to the left, but after geeing and hawing him on the trails along with leg and rein commands he now steers straight lol. We just worked him in the roundpen this morning and he is still short strided on the left at a trot, presumably due to yesterday's steep road. I am pretty sure his injury is due to rough play with my Friesian gelding as he was trail ridden for a couple months last fall without incident. But it does not seem he will ever fully recover as long as he has to navigate steep ground, as he has been rested now for six weeks while being treated with Adequan. He seems to have no discomfort at a walk, with or without rider. I would love to see him go to a therapeutic center as he is very patient with kids and elderly and would probably be the same with handicapped. I purchased him for $2500, and that is negotiable to a good home. He has great feet, is up to date on all vaccines and worming, and had his teeth floated shortly after we got him last fall. He gets along well with other horses (my Friesian gelding only gets along with another Friesian), and defers to my 22 yo Fjord in the pasture. Please let me know if you have any interest, and also is you know of the availability of a good trail Fjord of similar age. Thanks, Kim Nord [demime 1.01d removed an attachment of type image/jpeg which had a name of Andrew 001 Standard e-mail view.jpg]
Fjord Gelding for Sale in Nova Scotia, Canada
This message is from: Kevin and Verna Mattinson [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hello, This gelding for sale is a colt that my husband and I raised and sold at a year and a half old. The woman who owns and loves him, unfortunately, is going through a divorce and some financial issues, etc. and she has regretfully decided that she must part with him. There's a lot going on in her life right now so I offered to help advertise him for her. He was foaled on August 11, 2001 and has some very nice breeding, particularly on his father's side. His grandsire is Konggard, who is a son of the famous Myrstein. His registered name is WFF Ander, but she calls his Klay. Klay is quite tall, much taller than any of my own so I would think he is 14.2 or 14.3 hh.We had him here for a few months this winter and he is easy to work with and very gentle, excellent barn manners, trailers very well, farriers very well, etc., etc. He has had professional training and quite a bit of work put on him. The trainer who started him competes in dressage so that is the kind of start he's had. His owner says he needs a strong rider, a good child could ride him but he is VERY strong (thru the neck) and needs someone who won't let him take advantage. He sometimes will give a few little bucks when asked to move out or into the canter. Then he generally settles right down. His gaits are smooth and nice. He is definitely more than green broke. The only problem she's ever had with him is that he is extremely nervous of vehicles. He's been trail ridden with no problem, although she's never ridden him with a group of horses, but I don't know why that would be any problem. He is also had some harness training and has been ground driven. He just needs someone to give him the time that she no longer can. There is nothing negative about him, except his fear of vehicles. I think he just needs someone with some knowledge and experience to overcome that issue. He is healthy and has had no health or lameness issues or anything like that to be concerned about. He's been very well cared for and up to date on vaccinations, wormings, etc. He really is a lovely boy, very pretty, and has loads of potential. She is asking $5500 CDN. For anyone who wants more information, please write me and I'll connect you to the owner or get more information for you, etc. I have some pictures of him I can send you and she is planning to send me some better pictures of him and some pictures of him under saddle as well, which I can also forward to anyone interested.

RE: Nice woman looking for quiet fjord / Gelding for sale
This message is from: The Mercers [EMAIL PROTECTED] I have a 13 year old NFHR registered brown dun gelding that is 14.3 hands and drafty build. You can see his information and pictures on the NFHR web site. His registered name is Skog 366-B but his barn name is Thor. He has been in Pony Club, ridden English western, dressage and jumped by the gal I purchased him from. Thor has thousands of hours of trail experience in the mountains and desert between me and his previous owners. He has a bold personality, is agile and responsive. Thor enjoys life and thrives on attention. He ia a joy to ride. I had Gayle Ware do some fine tuning with him in 2003. Feel free to contact her about him. [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thor is current on all of his vaccines, worming, farrier and also has a current health certificate and coggins. He loads, clips, ties, cross ties, hobbles, bathes, etc. The only reason I am selling him is because I have decided to keep the 3 year old filly out of my mare Reina. I don't have time to do 3 Fjords justice. Thor's price is $7500 firm. A good home is a must. If you are interested please contact me. Taffy Mercer Kennewick, WA [EMAIL PROTECTED] (509) 586-0150
Re: fjord gelding for sale with rescue
This message is from: Jean Ernest [EMAIL PROTECTED] Janne Myrdal posted about him before: This message is from: Janne [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wanted to clearify something to concerned fjord people out there. There was a mention of a fjord for adoption , and somehow this fjord has made it to several resue places on the net. This is NOT a rescue horse. Our gelding Ben has been released to Second Wind Adoption program in WV for adoption to good home. He will remain here on our farm under our care until such time as he is adopted. Where, by the way, he is VERY WELL taken care of. He has some ringbone, but is solid and can be used for light work for many years to come. We made a decision to release him to raise some funds for this org. instead of selling him, because we want a good permanent home and also because we want to help raise funds for Second Wind. We highly respect their work and have adopted from them ourselves. If anyone wants to check the website out, it is a great org. www.crossedsabers.com Please do not pass this info on only in order to rescue this fjord. He is just fine and will make someone a great hobby fjord in a good home!!! Feel free, however, to consider adopting him and supporting a good org. as well. Sincerely, Janne MyrdalMyrdal Fjords I know nothing about this horse but hope someone might be interested! I saw him on a rescue site I was researching. Ben: 15 year old fjord gelding. Broke the very best to any type of harness work, used to haul logs in British Columbia, stoneboats, hay, and meadowbrooks.
Re: fjord gelding for sale with rescue
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Darn, this looks like a horse I would like, but the adoption process is absurd -- you have to keep in touch with the agency for 2-5 years before they will discuss selling it to you! / )_~ /L/L Brigid Wasson SF Bay Area, CA www.Brigid.Clickryder.com www.MillwoodRanch.com
fjord gelding for sale with rescue
This message is from: Tanya Welsch [EMAIL PROTECTED] I know nothing about this horse but hope someone might be interested! I saw him on a rescue site I was researching. Ben: 15 year old fjord gelding. Broke the very best to any type of harness work, used to haul logs in British Columbia, stoneboats, hay, and meadowbrooks. Also broke to ride, but does not neck rein. He is very very drafty, reg. with NFHR and Canadian. Association. About 14.1hh. I have had all my three little kids on him bareback and leadline. AS with any fjord, you have to establish who is boss as soon as they arrive, but then he is an in your face super friendly fjord. The only hitch with him that a new owner must understand is that he has developed ringbone on front feet. He is still totally sound and would be fine for light jobs, and would be a great!! backyard fjord for someone to love and enjoy. I have not yet needed shoes on him, but shoes with pads will certainly help later. My vet can be reference as we x-rayed him last fall. She knows all my horses well. Adoption fee is $900.

Well trained fjord gelding for sale
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hello all! I have been off the list for some time, and have just re-subscribed. Its been quite a year, including a broken right hand, followed by a broken leg, my husband's layoff from work at the age of 53, and loss of funding for my job. Dang! So now I need to sell my wonderful horse, ** Rokida's Draugen ** He is featured on the Rokida Fjord web site: www.cpinternet.com/~rkdfjord. Go to the sales list, then geldings. If you click on the little photo, it will bring you to a collage of photos. Click on each of those photos to see him Western, English, Draft and Cart, as well as a special link about his gaits. He was bred and imprinted by Ron and Kit Davis. I bought him as a yearling gelding trained him almost daily for the next 5 years (he is 6 1/2 years old). Some of you saw him at Blue Earth two years ago - he was the horse that walked up to the row of scary flagpoles with flags flapping and clanking in the wind - and pole bended around them like a good boy! He is a calm, reliable horse that has proven himself in jumping (in a 2-day show, he cleared 70 obstacles in a row, without a flaw!), trailriding (has meet moose, bear, grouse and once, a timber wolf, without panic!), draft (horse logging near chainsaws, crazy dogs, etc.) and pulls a sulky in fine style. I will sign off here, but following my name is some information about him for those who don't have time at the moment to visit the web site. I'd love comments and suggestions! Reply to the list for discussion of interest to all, and reply to me personally for detailed information. Thanks for all the great support over the years! Ann Sigford Cloquet, Minnesota (20 miles west of the west tip of Lake Superior) asigford @aol.com 218-879-7168 About Rokida's Draugen: (Marit x Valea's Lee) NFR #ROK-J-806-SG 14-2 HH, 8.5 cannon bone. Tall, drafty and correct! 6 1/2 years old. Breeding: Draugen's sire is a proven, multiple time championship stallion in conformation and performance. Marit is a dam of champions. Draugen has two full brothers standing as stallions (Rokida's Haakon Rokida's Markus), as well as three half brothers (Rokida's Jakob, Rokida's Knute Rokida's Niklaus)- all highly evaluated. Attributes of this line include willing temperament and trainability, soundness, great hooves, powerful build, good bone, athleticism and consistency. Draugen is a classic Fjord from championship stock that can do it all! His outstanding rocking horse canter looks and feels great in the dressage ring, western class, or on the trail - he is extremely well trained English, Western, harness and jumping. But what lifts him out of the ordinary is his warm willing attitude. This is a safe and reliable horse that wants to please. A family AND competition horse! $8,000 Please visit www.cpinternet.com/~rkdfjord for more information.

Fjord Gelding For Sale
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hello, Listers; I have been asked to pass this information on to fjord enthusiasts :) For Sale: fjord gelding - Rorik's Gunner 14 years old Sire: Anvil's Rorik Dam: Nipa 14 hh Price: $3500 This horse is currently in Minnesota with the owners brother. Horses owner lives in Montana. Gunner has been used in the past 4 years as a riding horse and pack horse in the mountians. Previously, he was owned by a woman who drove him. I have seen this gelding - he appeared quiet, willing and sweet. During the short time I spent with Gunner I sensed his driving skills are more fine tuned than his riding skills. However, 5 of us rode him around an arena, various skill levels, with a bit in his mouth that did not fit :(- he was totally ho-hum with all riders. Believe it or not I think he is a bit underweight!! (But then, I am used to a 13.3 hh, 1200 lb fjord :) ) If you or someone you know is interested in this horse please call: Ralph Mason 763-972-3050 Ralph can connect you with Gunner's current owner for more information. Thanks, Linda Lottie in Corcoran

Fjord Gelding for Sale
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi Everyone, I'm sure some of you know we are selling out gelding Ike, because we have so many horses now and want to concentrate on the training and showing of the mares and foal. But for those of you who don't know, here is his info: Igen 218 Simonette Fritz 355 IKE Loke 215 Brawn 66 - Kinnikinnick 45 Sammi 11 Inga 166 Hedda 67 - Buck 34 Majbrit 32 Ike is coming 13 this year, Was raised on a dude ranch all his life, He is The best trail horse I have ever run across, He would make a great weekend trail horse, a great lesson horse for beginners, and pack horse, Ike is between 14.1 and 14.2 on the stocky side, but NOT overweight, His ground manners are impecable, (and I cant take credit for that, we tend to spoil them rotten) He is not an In your pocket Fjord. He loads well, and ponies well and packs game too. Now his down side, (and they all have them) He doesnt particulary like clippers, and he has a slight case of arthritis in his one front bottom joint. He has had it since we have had him and it doesnt slow him down and is only detectable to a well trained eye. But we know, so therefore, we will tell any buyer . He therefore wouldnt be a candidate for jumping, or lots of loping and but is fine for walking and trotting and weekend trail rides. the vet has checked him out throughly and feels that this isnt a serious problem by any means, We give him MSM on a daily basis, just as precaution, and it makes us feel better. Ike does thrive best on daily attention and weekly riding, otherwise he can seem standoffish We really need to sell him as we are out of room and also breeding season is upon us and I have had several deals fall thru on him, (so please dont enquire unless you already have the funds) We have priced him low enough to allow a first time Fjord buyer to afford him, or someone who needs another reliable horse for beginners The price is $2200.00 american. and that includes a coggins and travel certificate, all transportation is the responsibility of buyer, although my husband is willing to bring him, with reimbursement If you know anyone please forward them my email and phone ## [EMAIL PROTECTED] 406-777-0426
