Re: Fjord WANTED
This message is from: jen frame jenfra...@gmail.com 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?!

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. .. -- Catherine Lassesen Hestehaven - The Horse Garden www.hestehaven.com / [EMAIL PROTECTED] Southern Oregon For your security this Message has been checked for Viruses as a courtesy of Com-Pair Services!

RE: Fjord Wanted
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Jerry, Thank you for your comment. I do admit my range is on the low side. However, per Dream Horse Ads and other ads, I can find more Fjords listed in that range for potential clients than I can at the $4500 or less range. :-) We all know... a good Fjord is worth his weight in GOLD... I have a few that if some one offered me a million US Dollars... I may just have to turn them down. :-) I may not... but I have not been offered that price yet! :-) Catherine Lassesen Your personal wine consultant Ask me how I get paid to drink wine! www.myttv.com/Catherine11429 The FjordHorse List archives can be found at: http://tinyurl.com/rcepw
Re: Fjord Wanted
This message is from: Debbie LeBreton [EMAIL PROTECTED] 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.

Have you contacted Beth Beymer and Sandy North Hi Karen. Thanks for the response. Yes, I know Beth and she's been very helpful in showing me what to look for in the breed. I even got to ride her wonderful gelding, BDF Magnum, in a lesson last week. What a neat horse! 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 ;-) --Amy -- ~~ Camairyn Farm ~*~ Loveland, CO http://www.goodhorse.com/camairyn ~~

Contact me privately if you're interested. Taffy Mercer Kennewick, WA (509) 586-0150 -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Amy Goodloe Sent: Sunday, June 20, 2004 12:15 PM To: fjordhorse@angus.mystery.com 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!

Re: Fjord wanted??
This message is from: whfjords [EMAIL PROTECTED] 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
