Re: Karen's Fjord Older Horses
This message is from: Karen Keith [EMAIL PROTECTED] Troyer's is held at the Adams County Fairgrounds near Brighton, Colorado. Traditionally it's been a draft horse, mule and equipment auction held over two days, lots of carriages and harness for sale, as well as wagonloads of sundries. Something for everybody really, so lots of fun. There are also riding horses, ponies, minis, and mini donkeys. See the website for dates. http://www.troyerauctions.com/ Also, if you go to the website, at the bottom you can go to photos from the Mid-summer sale, on page 5 of the gallery you can see the fjord gelding I wrote about in my first post.

Re: Karen's Fjord Older Horses
This message is from: Karen McCarthy [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi Reena, you should have absolutely NO trouble registering your boy Gustav...both his sire, Sven, and his dam Serina are registered in the NFHR and their Bloodtypes/DNA are on file. Have you familiarized yourself with the NFHR Pedigree section on the nfhr.com website? It's really neat...you can do quite a bit of research on it, plus,you can upload pictures to your horses pedigree page. Wish more folks would take advantage of this, as it would add a new dimension to communicating on this list: we can actually go look at the horses people are referring to. Hope you are all enjoying the weather back there; quite a change from out west, eh?!

Re: Karen's Fjord Older Horses
, so I'm not looking at breeding potential. So there's the story. Any other questions, let me know. I just down in Parker, so we're practically neighbors! Cheers! Karen PS - I'm 41, so I went to the fjord breed because I don't bounce anymore either. My first love is driving and I wanted something sane out there in front of me. I think he's going to work out great.

Doesn't mean we don't have a chat about being barn sour, or not wanted to take the steep trails anymore (she's getting old, so I don't ask her anymore) . it just means that she does not bite, buck, rear, move off when I'm mounting and it takes an awful lot to spook the old girl (22yr) into running off, very little to stop her flight when that rare moment comes (usually a deer leaping out of the blue in front of the trail). That's what I love so much about the older horse (8-15 yr olds). They've seen it, done it, they're calmer because they've experienced more of life (usually). The negative is that our time with them is shorter - they don't have as many years to give as a young horse. But at my 40 yrs, arthritisj in the back too now --- I gladly trade off and seek the older horse. I just don't heal up as well when I eat dirt!
