Genie, the incident was owner/handler error. The stallion had no training and never been away from home and was very over stimulated. The handler led him past another challenging stallion several times, then lost control. / )_~ /L/L Brigid Wasson SF Bay Area, CA _www.Brigid.Clickryder.com_ (http://www.brigid.clickryder.com/)

RE: "champagne" Fjords for sale
This message is from: "Gail Russell" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> This stallion was trained by someone who was accustomed to much "hotter" horses, that can be manipulated by essentially scaring them into doing things. I doubt it is the temperament.more likely the training. I know this horse's blood lines, and there are some very nice horses in them. The dam is Lena. I had one of her daughters, and she was beautiful (particularly her head!) and very sweet. The sire was Modellen, who produces fine horses. I wish some knowledgeable Fjord breeder could take him on and preserve his bloodlines. Gail
Re: "champagne" Fjords for sale
This message is from: Genie Dethloff <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] .. You'd definitely remember Diamont, the uls dun stallion who nearly killed his handler at Skandifest the year before. I tried to get some info so I could post ads on this list and others, but she didn't return my emails. I see that the horses are still for sale. It's a shame, because there are so few Fjords in CA, let along the Bay Area, but I can't recommend these to buyers because of the inflated prices. Oh yeah, and their color is "champagne" I hope no one on this list will help promote a stallion, or assist in his finding a new home as a stallion, with a visious temperment as you said Diamont has "who nearly killed his handler at Skandifest the year before". We had a terrible incident in Michigan with a stallion attaching his owner, an ederly gentleman, who was critically injured as was one women who tried to help. the man who finally subdued the stallion had serious injuries also. This stallion's stallion offspring should be assessed carefully for temperment. -- Genie Dethloff and Finne Ann Arbor, Michigan
