Dear Gail, Cinnabar's breeding is the following: her sire is Solar, a wonderful Fjord stallion from Norway, standing currently in Vermont with Lindsay Sweeney. Her dam is my mare, Yvonne, a Dutch Star mare whom I imported 10 years ago from Holland. I am the one who bred her dam (AI) to get her, so I have had her literally from day 1. She began training, long-lining, initially in Texas where I lived. The man who started her was very good and gentle. After that she pulled a quasi-cart made out of PVC poles and then graduated to a training cart that seated 2. He drove her quite a bit and then began riding her. She was actively worked her first 3 years in TX, but since I moved to my place here almost 3 years ago, she has not been ridden. She is handled daily, in and out of barn every evening, grooming, feet, blacksmith, etc and is very gentle and good tempered. I had her in training briefly again this Spring with Vivki Wall here in Sebastopol. I was amazed at how well she did after that long hiatus. I no longer ride due to my bad back. Her registration number with the NFHR is PCC-E-489-M. She has never been bred. Her conformation is good and correct and she is more refined, not the heavy, drafty type of Fjord. Give me a call at 824-0229 to meet her. Julia Gail Russell Forestville CA [EMAIL PROTECTED]
