Fjord Wanted

2014-03-03 Thread lisa galletti
This message is from: lisa galletti dante091...@sbcglobal.net


I'm searching for my next fjord and here's what I'm after.

14 to 14.3
hands, 7 to 17 years old with easy to sit gaits, a solid whoa and
stands
well for mounting/dismounting from a block, neck reining nice but not a
necessity, trail experience a must but doesn't need to be the Man from Snowy
River type of trails. Needs to have super ground and stall manners, no
bite/kick/rear or general nastiness, hopefully somewhat easy on fences. Must
enjoy being fussed over, good for grooming, bathing, clipping, mane cutting,
pick...ing up hooves standing tied to fence or trailer, etc. Can be ridden out
alone or with others and doesn't mind either way, settles in nicely when
hauled places, trailers well, good for vet and farrier. Doesn't need to be a
super performance horse, better to be a solid equine citizen. I need a steady
eddy type, a confidence builder and a partner I can trust. 

What can I offer?
A loving home with an experienced horse owner who keeps her horses at home on
dry lot, feeds good quality grass hay, has a great relationship with her vet
and farrier and has recently retired her older fjord gelding from riding. I
also have a 10 year old son who is horse crazy and spends a lot of time at the
barn with me and the horses, they are part of our family. My downfall are my
knees, one is replaced and the other is on its way but I'm not ready to give
up riding, I just don't move as quickly and don't want to ride the hills
anymore or go fast. I have owned  ridden for over 25 years but due to the
physical issues would list myself as a very cautious advanced beginner at this
stage of life.

Would prefer to find something west of the rockies to keep
shipping costs down but will consider others possibly, I'm located in northern
California. Will vet check and possibly x-ray if necessary. Can provide
references. Will also consider mares and geldings.  Price will depend on the
individual horse. Current pictures and video a must as most will be too far
for me to travel in person to see.

Fjord WANTED

2009-06-05 Thread Willows Edge Farm
This message is from: Willows Edge Farm i...@willowsedgefarm.com

So I have a student who adores our little 12 year old Fjord mare - she's
tiny at 12.2hh. She has decided to look around for a shorty and I am
wondering if anyone has a short Fjord for sale out there... We have a 13.2
mare and she thinks she's too tall. YES, I know this is outside of the
standards for our breed, but since we have one, I though there are probably
others out there. 
We are here about 20 minutes North of Seattle and the horses are a little
lethargic from all this warm weather we've been having - trot? Never heard
of it! 91 degrees here yesterday and with the outdoor arena - it was warm
riding (we should be mid 70s this time of year).
Hugs to all the ponies,

Hi Corinne,I don't have a short Fjord for sale, but I am responding to your
e-mail because ever since I got my 13.2 hand mare, I've wondered if there
are 12.1 or 12.2 hand Fjords out there, so I am happy to hear that you have
one. She must be so totally adorable! I would love a small one too!  Just
can't afford any more horses right now...
But would you send a pic of your shorty?!

well trained fjord wanted

2009-05-04 Thread lendertim
This message is from: lender...@yahoo.com

My wife and I have had Fjords for 15 years.  We just lost our 12 year old
gelding (Rolland) to a large enterolith that ruptured his intestine.  We are
currently looking for a replacement even though we do have an older mare that
we can ride for short distances in the mean time.  We live in Placerville, CA
(between Sacramento and Lake Tahoe) and would like something reasonably
close.  We trail ride quite a bit and camp out in the Sierra's and would like
a Fjord that could keep up with our friends that ride larger horses, so
something on the taller side would be best. Ellen also wants to start showing
western and trail.  Price is definitely a consideration in this economy.
Anybody downsizing? Need to have your Fjord go to a loving family? My father
in law imported 3 pregnant mares from Holland 20 years ago to start his herd
and had as many as 12 Fjords at a time. We are not new to this deal but got
out of the breeding business and are into the
 fun (camping/day rides) side. Any ideas?

In a perfect world there would be a nice grey dun mare or gelding out there
with our name on it.  We want something more or less ready to go (no babies
or something that needs a ton of training).  Any color will do, but I do
love the greys.  5-15 years old or so and hopefully around $4000 - $7000.
Less is of course better.

If any of you know of an older Fjord that would enjoy being pampered
and well cared for in exchange for the occasional ride around the
farm, please let me know.


Hello Lee, We have for sale a very nice 19 yr.old fjord gelding we've
owned since he was a colt.We used him for riding and hunting, then he
was used in a team for farm work and shows, parades, pulling etc. His
team mate developed a ringbone in his front hoove and had to be put
down. So we would like to find a good home for this fine fellow. He
still looks really good and frolikes around with the other horses.
He's quite, tall at about 15 hands. We are open to negoiateas for as
price as long as he'd get a good home. But I'm afraid that
transportation would be a problem as rising fuel cost has made long
hauls for horses quite expensive. If we can be of further assistance
please let us know.

Older Fjord wanted

This message is from: Lee Hardin[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hi Everyone,

My husband and I have just returned from the Taylorsville, NC area. The year+ 
long search for a GOOD home for our married daughter's 15 year old Saddlebred 
cross is finally over. After work today we delivered Ryan to a beautiful farm 
and a loving family. Their barn has 8 stalls and a bunk house (hardwood floors, 
full kitchen and two bedrooms, hardly what we called a bunk house). There is 
also a guest house in addition to the primary residence, log cabin. The family 
has an interest in older horses. One of their two horses is a 28 yr. old 
Arabian in great condition.

Last Saturday, Ryan's perspective owner, the 21 year old daughter of the 
family, and her mother came to our farm to meet Ryan. The mother of the young 
lady, who also rides, fell in love with our Fjords. She wants a Fjord for 
herself and has asked me to help her find a 15+ year old Fjord will lots of 
riding experience. This family trail rides on their dairy farm. The mother is a 
petite woman and would enjoy a Fjord around 13.2 hands. 

If any of you know of an older Fjord that would enjoy being pampered and well 
cared for in exchange for the occasional ride around the farm, please let me 
know. 


Thanks,
Lee Hardin

This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hello There,

 

I yet again was passed on a person that is looking for a dead broke older
Fjord for under $4500.00.  Yet again, I wrote these people and explained the
Fjord market to them.  I will list their wants on our Fjords for Sale page
at www.hestehaven.com http://www.hestehaven.com/  . 

Here is what I said. please, if you talk to potential buyers.do us all a
great service when talking with them. do not play down the value of our
breed. I tend to get telephone calls and inquiries from buyers that think
they can get a dead broke for under $4500. I do state on our website the
average price (as I see it right now) is at the $6500 to $8500 range for a
trained Fjord. Yes, there are bargains out there. but they are far and few
between. 

 

If you have a dead broke Fjord for sale under $4500 please contact me. I
have potential buyers from around the world wanting to talk to you. :-)

 

--

 

Thank you for your email.  I do not know any Fjord that is available at
$4500 with the talents you have mentioned. I will keep an eye out for you
and mention your wants on our FREE ad website, with your permission to list
your email for a contact. There may be someone out there willing to sell
their older Fjord with the talents for that price, but most Fjord farms will
keep this type of Fjord at the farm for their clients rather than under sell
their talented Fjord.  Unfortunately your first purchase is what happens
with new Fjord owners. At $4500 buyers will normally get a green broke, bad
habits, or younger Fjord. If you could afford $6500 to $8500, you will have
a lot more to select from in the market. This may not be what you want to
hear, but it is how I see the Fjord market as of today.  

 

With the price of hay, fuel, boarding, and training, the cost of raising a
Fjord from birth to 5 years old is not longer $3500; it is more like
$10,000. So, a 5 year old under $8500 is a real bargain, however, a 5 year
old only has 2 years under saddle and maybe an additional year of cart
training. ..

Hello to you;

I just want to tell you that I believe that a dead broke horse is either to 
old or someone is telling stories.  Our fjords are great but they do have a 
jump in them once in a while or something is happening around them.  They do 
handle it well and if they have lots of hours on them everyday, maybe they 
wouldn't jump if something surpise them on a trail.  I think that I can get 
you a couple of Fjords that are dead broke like that or so the people say 
that have them.  I will also read the ads that you are putting up on the web 
site.


Get back to me if you like and just maybe we could get a market for these 
fjords.  Thank you.

Trimming Shoeing, HYPP, Fjord Wanted Responses

2007-02-26 Thread Emily Wigley

This message is from: Emily Wigley [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I'm so glad Erin spoke up in defense of good farriers!  My farrier is  
excellent, and I know I am really fortunate to have him on my  
team!  He trims those that don't need shoes, and shoes those that  
need them.  Each hoof is dealt with individually, with the four  
adding up to assist the horse's movement, growth,use, and comfort  
(not in that order).  My fjord does wear shoes, although she has  
excellent feet.  She works hard, and in our wet pacific northwest  
climate, she lives on crushed rock footing in her paddock (for  
drainage and no mud) and goes out to graze for a few hours a day.   
The crushed rock is hard on even the best feet, and tends to scoop  
them out with a sanding kind of effect, even though the rock is  
packed.  I have a few who need shoes and a few who don't, and two who  
just need fronts (no huge jumping or upper level dressage for their  
balance to be challenged with half shoes).  A good trimming job is as  
special as a good shoeing job, and is well worth the fee that a good  
farrier should charge.


As for the horse that fell asleep and tipped over, it may or may not  
be HYPP, and if it's a hanoverian (as I think it was?), it probably  
isn't HYPP.  Some horses' knee locking mechanism is not as active/ 
automatic as others.  My hanoverian x tb mare does the same thing,  
rarely goes down but does a creepy woops! when napping and catches  
herself before she goes down.  AND, she stays asleep.  It's weird,  
and amazing, and there is nothing wrong with her (except her lazy  
knees!).  I think I should sell tickets!


Thanks to those who have contacted me about Fjords for sale, as I  
look for a well trained, experienced gelding for a student.  A couple  
of youngsters have been presented to me, which is probably perfectly  
appropriate considering the amazing temperament of Fjords, but I am  
serious about looking at nothing younger than 9.  Ok, maybe 7 or 8 if  
it has had an active, well educated life!  The student I seek the  
horse for is very new to horses, and I want him to be well cared  
for by his future Fjord, thus I am looking for a non-baby.  :-)   
Thank you, thank you for the nice suggestions!  Keep 'em coming!


Best,
Emily

Hi List,

I received an email this morning from my sister-in-law who lives in Stockton, 
CA.  She has begun searching for a horse for her 10 year old daughter.  This 
little girl has always been horse crazy, but since they are 'city' folks, 
living in one of those gated communities, typical yuppie subdivision with a 
pool 
in the back yard, they tried to discourage her 'disease'.  I laughed as they 
described her unexplained, ever-growing, fervor.  They even told me one time 
that the best Christmas present we could ever send her would be a box of horse 
poop!  LOL!  Maybe they were thinking that'd 'fix' her??!!

We horse folks know that there is absolutely no known cure - except for 
owning your own horse!  Medical science has not yet been able to invent a shot 
to 
cure this ailment!

I suggested that they find a good riding instructor and start with lessons to 
see if she would remain interested.  They did and she did.  We have talked 
about this on several occasions and I told them that as long as she is 
interested in horses, any $ is well spent!  You never see the police chasing a 
kid down 
on a horse to bust them for drugs and it's pretty hard to get pregnant on a 
horse!  LOL!!

Anyway, I have sold everything here except for youngsters so told them I 
would start looking for the right Fjord.

She is taking English lessons and needs to have a 'well done, been there, 
done that' Fjord with that kind, willing disposition.  If you have one for sale 
or know of one that would be 'right', please contact me privately.

Thanx so much.

Thanks to everyone who has responded with horses for sale.  There are 
some really nice Fjords out there!  I wish my budget would allow me 
to go up in price because I think then I'd find the perfect 
combination of a Fjord that can do dressage and trails plus a little 
jumping for fun.  But I've already lost too much money on dressage 
horses that ended up with soundness problems, so for now I can only 
afford a trail horse.  I love the idea of a sensible, sure footed, 
wide bodied and comfortable little horse to take out on mountain 
trail rides -- and the Fjords sound like a good fit for that!  I hear 
they're addictive, though, so maybe in the future I can look for a 
sporthorse type ;-)

Subject: Fjord wanted for trails/dressage

This message is from: Amy Goodloe [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hi all.  I've been lurking on this list for a few days and have 
already learned a lot!  I've had my eye on Fjords now for several 
years and have finally decided that I want to buy one, so I thought 
I'd let you know what I'm looking for in case anyone has any possible 
matches for sale.

The short version is that I want a sure-footed, sensible trail horse 
that can also do a little dressage (training level at schooling 
shows) -- rather than a dressage horse that can also do some trail 
riding, if you see the difference.  Three or older, 14h or over and 
fairly stout, gelding or mare (slight preference for mare), and at 
least green broke but ideally has some trail experience already.

Here's the longer version.  I like riding a horse that is willing to 
go forward, not out of nervous tension or excessive energy, just 
happy to move out under saddle.  And I like riding a horse that is 
responsive to the rider's aids, that moves away from the leg and is 
light in the hands, or that has the potential to be light (I'd rather 
have a green horse that just needs education about lightness than to 
retrain a heavy horse).  Three good, comfortable gaits would be nice, 
including a decent canter that the horse offers easily.  And I'd 
prefer a horse with balanced conformation, so that it's not built 
downhill and therefore naturally heavy on the forehand.  Brave, 
sensible, non-spooky, cooperative, friendly, totally sound and 
uncomplicated to work with both on the ground and under saddle.

I would prefer to stay around or under $5000, so that's why I say 
that I'm looking for a trail horse that can do low level dressage 
rather than the other way around.  I also have to consider the cost 
of shipping (and would prefer to stay within about 1000 miles of 
Colorado, to keep shipping costs down).

If you know of anything for sale that might be a good match, please 
let me know.  I will try to go out to see a horse in person, but if 
that isn't possible due to a remote location, then I may be willing 
to buy off a video if it shows me everything I need to see.

Most of my horses are drafts and draft crosses so I'm familiar with 
the issues common to this type of horse, but one of the reasons I 
want a Fjord is to have the drafty substance and sensibility in a 
package that is a better size for trail riding than a full sized 
draft!

Thanks,

I am actually glad that one cannot buy a Fjord tomorrow so easily, because 
that would mean we were as overpopulated as QHs. There are plenty of well 
trained Fjords out there working, showing, or just providing pleasure, and 
we're 
not letting go of them! Also, few are willing to pay what a well broke horse is 
worth. Many at my barn are becoming seriously interested in Fjord ownership,

they are so expensive! I said, So what do you consider expensive? Turns out 
her budget is $3k and she wants a trained horse safe for her young daughter. 
I told her as politely as possible that such a horse of any pure breed does

Thanks,

Hello- This is Mark McGinley of Mariposa Farm in northern Wisconsin.  
Mariposa Farm is a small riding and boarding stable and we raise Fjords 
as well. I'm also on the NFHR board and am currently your Vice President 
(for you NFHR members).  Here at our riding stable we offer lessons and 
training and we are the only barn in the area that provides these 
services for western riders.  We also bring these kids (and adults) to 
area shows and help them either with their horses or our own.  We do 
have English trained riders and horses here as well just so you know we 
don't discriminate


I'm looking to purchase a been there done that highly trained Fjord 
horse for our lesson program.  We want to stop using our Arab and QH's 
for lessons and get these kids riding Fjords instead.  We want them to 
fall in love with Fjords and not our Arab!  We don't breed Arabs!  We 
have 6 Fjords right now but they are either young stock or mares that 
are often bred (and go in and out of training and condition).  I've got 
a couple of youngsters coming up in the ranks who will be great for our 
program but we don't want to wait 2-3 more years for our clients to be 
able to ride and show Fjords.


We do realize the value of this horse and even more, appreciate the 
value that it would bring to our barn.  If you know someone that wants 
to part with their perfect Fjord we'd be interested in talking to them.  
Below is a list of requests that the horse would need to have / perform.




Wanted:  Exceptionally well trained Fjord gelding.  Needs to be safe, 
sound, and healthy.  Western trained for immediate use in lesson and 
show program for established equestrian center.  Our students are 
beginners through intermediate / advanced.  Horse must be 
conformationally correct with no vices. NFHR registered or able to be 
registered.  We would prefer the horse to be under 14 years old. We'd 
like some size to this horse and he should be at least 14.1 hands or 
taller.  We would like to see a video of the horse performing the 
following:


1. Walk, trot, lope in a round pen or on lunge line with verbal 
commands, both directions with no editing.

2. Same again with young rider.
3. Same again with young rider in arena. Horse must have correct leads 
and have easy going, relaxed and balanced gaits.

4. Same again with adult rider
5. Video of horse in a Halter Class or Showmanship Class with a young 
handler.  Doesn't have to be actual show but should include other horses 
in arena.
6. Video of at least a 15 minute lesson on horse with a beginner rider 
no editing

7. Again with intermediate rider.
8. Any other video that you think highlights your horse.

Any driving training will be considered a plus but not necessary.   Vet 
check and health history required.  We prefer a brown dun as our first 
choice.

Sick Foal Fjord Wanted

Peter,

I will have to agree with Suzan, at first read, your mare may be going thru
foal heat. How many days old is your foal?  The black around the eyes is
what I would call color... and you just may have yourself a grey.  The hair
coming off around the muzzle I somewhat normal, hair on the head seems to
shed first at times with these guys...

When in doubt, take temp and keep a record of the temp.  99.5 to 103 are
somewhat normal ranges.

Good Luck...

FJORD WANTED...

OK... I know that everyone wants a low priced trained Fjord... I have a
client that is looking for the miracle Fjord... An older mare or gelding
that is trained for riding. Gentle for beginner riders and children. Does
not have to be Dressaged trained but steady on the trail is a must. Grass
drivers OK... we will use grass reins... (LOL)

The family is low-middle class and knows that a Fjord can be expensive...
but hopes that someone will have a semi-retired one out there, for them.
They have 2 horses for sale at this time hoping to pay for their new Fjord.
(2 year old APPY gelding  an older AQHA mare) They are willing to trade!
They will need a seller that is willing to work with them.  They both have
good steady full time jobs and pay their bills on time.  

OK... now if anyone is willing to work with these people, Please contact me
and I will forward you their name and email.

I'VE RUN into this before.. large people searching for large horses.. and I
maintain that height has nothing to do with strength and weight bearing. It
stands to reason that if a tall horse is fine boned and not well conditioned
it would be less capable of packing a heavy load than would a short horse
that has stout bone and good muscle development. Tall is not always strong..
short is not always weak-- just as with people. Ruthie, nw mt

This message is from: carol [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hi Friends,   I'm looking for that hard to find older, experienced,
quiet, driving - trail riding Fjord.  My husband and I are older trail
riders ourselves now.  We horse camp, ride easy, and take the
Meadowbrook Cart out on weekends.  Need 14 to 14.2 or so.  Mare or
gelding.  Age no problem.  You could consider this a semi-retirement
home for our horses.  Anyone got and ideas??
Thanks,

  Hey Guys: Terri Letcher from Washington State is
 looking for a well broke
  gelding for her fourteen year old daughter for
 pony club.


Might try sending her to Unrau's.  They have a
four-year-old gelding, well broke, for sale right now,
I believe.  Plus a couple of fillies that their
daughter, Sam, is training right now for riding.  Sam
is into versatility riding - western and English - so
anything she works with should be pretty good.

Here's another Fjord Wanted
Please email privately any For Sales that might apply .

I would be interested in a mare or gelding.  I would consider any age and
size.  My preference would be 14 hands, but I could go bigger or smaller.  I
take very good care of my horses and would give the horse a wonderful home.

 Do you think a Fjord is a good choice for me?  If so, I am sure I am
,
  This is part of a note I received today and hope someone might have a
horse
 for sale . We need some more horses  to please the people stopping by and
 Emails we get.  

This is from Debi Williams in Erie Pa  i don't talk often but I ave a
question
I'm very new and only have a couple youngsters.  I get these inquiries a
couple times a month.  I have been saving the ones listed on the emails and
have passed these on.  But there seems to be a big demand for our horses and
not enough to go around.  I'd like to see lots of good Fjords in great
homes.  Any suggestions on how to make these connections.
Fjords are different and I wouldn't want to see them go to the wrong
riders for them.  Se the results each week at the many local auctions.
Ok now I'll be quiet

Do you think a Fjord is a good choice for me?  If so, I am sure I am 
looking for the larger breed (15 hands and 1300 to 1400 pounds).  As a 
beginner, I'm sure I should also find a mature one, which will probably be 
very hard to find.  If you agree that a Fjord is a good choice, are you aware 
of any for sale that may be appropriate for me?

  Howdy list,
 This is part of a note I received today and hope someone might have a horse 
for sale . We need some more horses  to please the people stopping by and 
Emails we get.  Send what you have and I will see that he gets the word. He 
is in MT.
 I am going to have him get on the list so he can enjoy the information 
available .
  Still waiting for our first foal  Of  2000. Paradise's Emily is big as a 
barn, and her due date was a week ago.Bjorn-Knutson looks on and weenies to 
her, as if to say, Get on with it lil mother.

Hello Josie,

Of course you can give your friend our website address.  Depending on where 
she lives in MO, transportation could very well be free for her from our farm.

There's a lady in MO looking for Fjords.  She is new to the breed and new to
riding.  Several of her horsey friends have recommended she shop for a
Fjord.  I don't think it would be proper to post her email address on the
list.  But if any of you would like to respond to her search, emai me
privately and I'll pass it on to her.  Thanks, Larson
