looking for fjord in Western Montana...
This message is from: Elizabeth Maeve Ross-McKee sagegar...@hotmail.com Hello List :) I have been lurking on this list for years ;) and have followed the exploits of some fabulous, funny horses and their owners. I have been wanting a Fjord for years, I got sidetracked with (shameful I know) Haflingers... and I have an older haffie thats pulled up lame (suspensory tendons, both sides of a rear fetlock) and I have no idea when or if he will ever recover. At age 16 it's unlikley he'll ever be soud. Since he's my heart, I wont put him down or 'can' him so he's a pasture pet for now. But... I need to ride to keep my lower spine 'open' and the QH I bought is more like a racehorse now that she has enough to eat and daily care... I do spoil them. but she seems way taller than she was when i bought her on 9-11. At a body condition of 2 (ya a 2 almost dead) she seemed so short.. LOL now she's fat adn sassy and way more horse than I think I can ride although we're really bonded and she trusts me totally I think she needs a younger, thinner rider who will show that sooty buckskin to her full potential. (woudl be a grand barrel horse for a youngster! EAsy Jet/Doc Bar/Go Man Go lines). So I am in the market for well trained Fjord. NOthing fancy. Just a trail horse. Nothing over age 10. I have one geriatric horse already. One is enough. 14 hands ish.. 15 is way too tall and anything under 14 might not be strong enough to haul me around. I Have the haflinger saddle with ex flat bars so that table top drafty look is fine. I just want a nice walk trot canter that will go down the road, or up in the mountains (easy trails.. i am old and half crippled LOL so no more crosscountry stuff for me). I also will be employing the haflinger and any other horses in my care as mental health equine assistants for 'hug a horse' therapy, EGALA (when I get my certification this year) but NOT riding therapy. Just ground stuff for the clients. (insurance and all that) . For those reasons I am turning to Fjords to fill that spot in my 'herd' - riding horse for me, therapy horse for clients. And there seems to be more Fjords than halfingers, I wanted a Fjord when I FOUND haflingers . Fjords were always way out of my price range. I still am not rich by any means but I am willing to stick my toe into the Fjord price pool just to test the waters ;) Grade is ok. Registered is ok. I'd consider a cross breed too if she's the right horse. What I don't want is a horse with a sketchy past Ther was a lovely grade Fjord mare at a local rescue last year but I had noidea what age she was backed or whn the outfitter that used to own her started putting heavyloads on her. She was full of 'white' marks from breechins, saddle marks etc. so I passed on her due to the price tag and not knowing her past. I am not a 'newbie' horse owner by anymeans LOL. but i've never had a Fjord before either. so if anyone has that spare younger mare in the barn ( i do not breed horses. i love mares. it's a Girl Power thing ;) that's a nice littl riding horse that canhaul a fat granny around on daily short rides and a couple of times a week take a 6 mile ride out to my friend's ranch, not afriad of traffic or deer or cows please email me off list. sagegar...@hotmail.com thanks Liz in western Montana an ya i have excellent references from the vets, horse club members and my ferrier who tells me I fret too much ... he's right, but the ponies are my kids.

Lady looking for Fjord - Mikael or Cynthia Vallecillo
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I came across the following ad on the Stolen Horse International website. This lady, Karen Sidey is looking for a fjord gelding she used to own. Does anybody know know how to contact Cynthia? Karen Stolen Horse International, Inc. PO Box 1341 Shelby, NC 28151 (704) 484-2165 [EMAIL PROTECTED] “Have you seen Mikael Horses name: Mikael Tattoo # 261-B Breed: Norwegian Fjord Horse Sex: gelding Date of birth: 8/12/1987 Microchip # 42557E5B76 Last known registered owner: Mikael was my horse companion from 1990 to 1996 in the Arlington, WA area. My husband and I donated him to EquiFriends Therapeutic Riding Program located in Snohomish, WA. They only kept him for about 6 months. There was no information on where he went. Later, I found information on the last registered owner at the NFHR.com website. Her name is: Cynthia Vallecillo of San Bruno, CA. Two email inquiries to her have gone unheeded. The email address was to a business. My guess is she no longer works there. Calling the listed phone number was useless. I really would like to know how Mikael is doing. And how he wound up in San Bruno, California and where he might be now. Or if he is still living. I'm hoping someone from that area will see this request and help me find out how Mikael is doing and where he might be located now.

Too late for this year, but is there enough interest in them to do a Fjord specific greeting card within the list group.? Kathy

looking for fjord mares to buy
This message is from: Johna Nielsen [EMAIL PROTECTED] I would like to introduce myself, admitting that I have been lurking on this list since February. I saw my first fjord horse at a show about two years ago. I was so charmed that I wanted to learn more about this beautiful breed. I am the director of a residential treatment program for 40 adolescent boys and girls in South Dakota. We have used horses in a pet-facilitated therapeutic component for many years. We have worked with whatever horses have been donated to our program, or grade horses that we could purchase very reasonably. Thus, to make a generalization, most of the horses we work with are old, or do not have the needed training or patience or energy to work therapeutically with children. When I began to learn about the fjords, it became apparent to me that fjords could make wonderful therapy horses. Unfortunately I also learned that they are not inexpensive. So I have been working to figure out how to secure well trained fjords to work with our children. To make a long story short, I was just notified that I will receive a grant to purchase three fjord mares. Therefore I am looking for well-trained (to ride and drive), people-oriented mares. My preference is for mares that are proven or currently bred for summer foals. I am looking for mares that are gentle, have good breeding, have been evaluated and registered with the NFHR. I really enjoy this list, as I have learned so much just by lurking. So thanks to everyone for all the fascinating reading. And if any readers of this post have information about fjords for sale that may be of interest for me, I would appreciate a private email response.

looking for fjord
This message is from: Debbie Shade [EMAIL PROTECTED] I hope there is a Fjord out there available. I am very involved with an excellent theraputic riding program in the northeast and they are looking for a large pony. They had a fjord in the past but she didn't work out, when she decided she was done she would throw a huge buck and get rid of her rider. I would love for them to give Fjords another chance by donating one to them. My Fjord is busy in another career, eventing, dressage and fox hunting currently, so I can't donate her.We are using her when they host Special Olympics so they know how great another Fjord would be for their program. If anyone knows of a horse that would love this life, he/she does not have to be perfect except in temperament, I would love to talk to you. I consider any breed of large pony/small horse.
