Re: If you're going to FFFF and you have a horse for sale...
This message is from: Jill's Computer jnako...@mac.com Hi Cindy: I sent you an email earlier, and did not hear back from you, but am going to try one more time. Every time I see your description of the horse you want, Pjoska (whom we call Katie) comes to mind. Lori Albrough said she also thought you might make a great pair, and she knows the horse very well, having done much of her training. Katie is a gray mare, well trained in dressage and trail riding. She won her two training level classes at her first show this year - I'm pretty sure it was her first show ever. She has three lovely gaits, and a comfortable soft canter. We have started some Natural Horsemanship with her, and she really gets it, even though I am green at it. She has had babies but much prefers being a person horse. She is a sweetheart, and loves as much attention as you want to give her, but can stand some time off if you aren't able to get to her every day. She is definitely tall enough - around 14 hands - I am 54 years old, 5'7, 150 pounds, and she carries me easily. She is 16. I am asking $8500.00, but told Lori I would go down to $7500.00 to get her a good home. I think Lori still has some pictures of her on her website, and perhaps a Utube video or two if you google Pjoska ford horse. I promise not to bother you again about her, but I just couldn't help it when I once again read your description of your dream horse. Have fun at the - I am jealous, and hope to make it next year.

Re: If you're going to FFFF and you have a horse for sale...
This message is from: Jerry Friz jfri...@comcast.net Hi Cindy, Sorry was not able to get back to you. My gelding is right at 14.1 hands. He rides, and drives. He has done about 10 CDE's mostly at the preliminary level. It sounds like he would fit your bill. I would like to get $2,000. Although he is pure Fjord, I never had him registered. I was the breeder at the time. He was my last foal. I do believe he can still be registered, although, if this is a requirement, you would want to check with the registry to make sure. I got to the point, where a gelding doesn't really matter. If he was to stay a stallion, or, a mare, then I would have registered him. But, since we are so far apart, it would be difficult for you to see him. Thank you for checking, Jerry -Original Message- From: Cindy B Giovanetti Sent: Saturday, June 09, 2012 10:10 AM To: fjordhorse@angus.mystery.com Subject: If you're going to and you have a horse for sale...

This message is from: dfle [EMAIL PROTECTED] Have a wonderful little three-year old mare (about 13.5 hands) going to the trainers next week. She will be trained to ride and drive.

Horse for sale in WI
This message is from: Dave and Patti Walter [EMAIL PROTECTED] Well...might as well let the cat out of the bag for all to see and talk about. I emailed the Fjord List today, as Monday's are their sale day. And.. since I wrote how I have my Ole up for sale, I thought I best put it on the Fjord Digest as well. With much thought and reflection, I've decided to put my Ole up for sale. I will sell him as a stallion or will geld to the right person/family. THIS BOY WILL DO IT ALL, HAS DONE IT ALL! He rides, drives, draft, vaulting, jumps, trail. Will say, jumping is not his thing, he will do it, but only because he will do whatever you ask of him. He has NEVER freaked at anything, and I have put him thru the wringer and he is just solid in his thinking. Has done lessons with beginners, even done cross rails with beginner kids, never does anything stupid! :-) We have vaulted off of him, and used him with vaulting students. he will be in Madison for the big horse fair with Keelie vaulting on him again. Definately will be choosey about where he goes. Want a SAFE horse?, Ole is it! Will NOT bolt or do anything stupid. Will be standing at stud until Sold. Ole is 11 now. I've owned him since he was 5 days old. Will be very hard to part with him, but I KNOW someone will get tons of love and joy out of owning him. He is the EASIEST horse on the farm to have around. Doesn't chew on wood, doesn't complain about anything, can be stalled or rough boarded, totally healthy and sound. VERY clean in his stall. No vises. Is definately a stallion that someone looking for a first time stallion for breeding can handle. Does have his Gold Mediallon. Just to tell you how solid he is, Keelie is practicing trying to do a handstand on Ole and today, she flipped over backwards and landed on his HEAD! He didn't move a muscle, just stood there, going, oh boy, what are they doing to me now. He also is VERY smooth, one of the smoothest Fjords I've ridden. Can easily sit his trot. Rides in a KK, soft mouth. Really can't say enough good about him. He's a good one. I also still have some really nice other horses on consignment, won't repeat as I wrote in about them all, if you're looking for a nice quality Fjord, please check out my website, some have sold but still have some really nice ones left. All are in training and doing great. Pleasure to work with them all.

another horse for sale
This message is from: Sarah Altrogge [EMAIL PROTECTED] I have another Fjord for sale- due to an over crowded barn. I have somehow become the contact to sell horses through, not quite sure how that has happened:) This mare is bigger than Taske, 14.3-15hh 6 yrs old- micro chipped and dead quiet. Dam- MVF Ramsi, Sire- Elof. She very food motivated, lol, which I have heard often in the Fjord circles. She been healthy and sound since her owner got her (I believe she was 1 or 2). She is very low energy (about the exact opposite of Taske!) very kid safe. she had 30 days from a reining trainer so she neck reins or plow reins. She has not been bred but she was vetted, and is breeeding sound. Not mare-ish at all, can't really tell when she's in heat or not. Her owner describes her as boring and the same all the time- I consider that a plus for a mare! She asking 6,500 for her if anyone hears of anyone looking- I know there have been quite a few for sale on here lately. Thanks! It's been very interesting reading the bloodline input. I think it's the same in every reg. everyone likes different bloodlines for different reasons- and of course the 'best' bloodlines are the ones everyone knows about because the horse was promoted. Don't count the 'unknown', not proven stallions out. There are some fantastic horses out there whom have owners who love them, but can't afford to campaign them to their ability. When it comes right down to it you just have to evaluate the conformation, movement, and attitude and apply it to what your mare has and hope for the best :) There will be Fjords out there that will step up to the plate and take up what the 'greats' of yesteryear have proven. Hopefully the people whom own these potentials will be able to recognize their abilities and promote them accordingly. In this area Fjords are very unknown, and no one is promoting them! There have been attempts at getting them to equine Affaire in Ohio, but with out ! the Reg. backing the effort you can't have a booth in the Breed Pavillion (due to mis-use by other breeds) and the Reg. has no desire to be involved. How can other people know how wonderful these animals are if we don't show them? How can the breed grow and keep it's high standards if people don't know what is ideal. Look on the internet and you will see Fjord crosses everywhere- cheap! People need to know why a purebred Fjord is unique and why it's heritage should be preserved. I will now step off my soap box :)
Experience Driving Horse for Sale in South Carolina
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Claudia Galup) I am posting this for a friend, and I have known this Fjord since he was a two year old: NFR Valdemar ( Leif x Vera, a Solar daughter), is a nine year old gelding. His driving training began when he was a two year old at Paradox Farm with Alfonso (Fonz ) Hargrove. He continued driving and training there for over a year. As a three year old he began competing in Pleasure Shows In Oak Ridge, NC, Southern Pines, and Landrum , SC. He never went home without ribbons, and one year won the Overall Pony Championship at a pleasure show in Landrum hosted by the Carolina Carriage Club. Val is a forward moving, willing worker with a fluid, ground covering trot. He particulaly likes doing cones and obstacles. His education has continued over the years with Barbara Black in Campobello, SC, and clinics. Robin Groves described him as a jolly boy. He has the great Fjord temperament, and has learned some tricks with ClickerTraining. He has had lots of experience driving and riding on trails. His riding has only been for pleasure. His owner has aged down to a small pony, and wants to see Val with someone who will use him more than she is able to do. She offers him for sale for $7,000, to a good home. Also available: Russet leather harness and russet appointed Road Cart- $1,700. Val is currently at the Farm of Barbara Black in Campobello, SC.

Re: Sleigh Rally Brag and horse for sale
This message is from: vivian creigh [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hello Jerry Hope you can make it to Live Oak it would be great to see you and Ann thanks for the kind words and as far as breeds at the sleigh rally other than a Friesian from CT all the rest were Morgans except of course for Mira. I am offering a fantastic mare for sale. She is an Dutch import, a model mare first class and a ster in the Dutch studbook highly credentialed. Her sire is Blinken and her dam is a Tunar daughter named Hannelore. She rides and drives single, tandem, pair and four. She is rock steady and is totally road and trail safe. For all you folks down south I am heading down on Feb 1st and am willing to make a stop en route as long as it is not too far off the beaten path or she can be seen at Black Prong in Bronson FL. This mare is made and could go out and win at Prelim level tomorrow. I use her in lessons where she has proven herself to be an exemplary teacher. She is eleven years old this year and will give a serious buyer many years of versatile use. Sound, sane and healthy she is the perfect mare for someone who wants to compete or just have fun around the farm, but I will only sell her to a very good home where she will do more than just have babies. A mare of this quality and experience does not come along often so if you are interested give me a holler. Best to all, Vivian

Horse for sale
This message is from: Teressa Kandianis [EMAIL PROTECTED] My husband and I met and visited with an older Norwegian man in Stanwood WA this weekend. A friend put us in touch with him about some Norwegian carts he had imported and was refurbishing. These weren't carts, though, they were carriages! He also had bits and pieces of the Norwegian harness. But the point of this is that he has an 8 yo gelding - named Blokken - who is half fjord and half quarter horse. He wants the horse to go to a good home as he has had heart surgery and can't do as much with Blokken as he's used to. What he does with him is drive, pull a sled, pull logs, ride. Blokken is quite beautiful - with a beautiful darker coat and the fjord mane perfectly cut to show his black stripe - but one foot with white on it and a star. And he comes when he's called. He said he is peppy and needs someone who will spend lots of time with him. I know there are those who think a fjord cross is the worst thing in the world. But this guy is already here and is gelded and is trained to do a bunch of stuff. Oscar said he drives him in parades and has bunches of kids come over to go for rides around the farm. He told us he was thinking about $1200 for Blokken so we told him we'd pass it on to you fjord lovers to see if anyone has some ideas. Email me privately and I can give you Oscar's number.

Fjord Horse thought sale
This message is from: Anton Voorhoeve [EMAIL PROTECTED] This e-mail is from Anton Voorhoeve, Fjord Horses of Narnia. I finally had some time to add a few of my thoughts and when I pressed Send it went somewhere but not to this list; so until I know what I am doing I will keep it short. This past year has been has been our greatest for education about Fjords. 1) A week with Bob van Bon in May learning all about grooming, caring and evaluating with a group of very nice people. We all evaluated the horses and then our evaluations were evaluated by Bob. It is not the way they do it in Europe but it was most effective in terms of learning. 22 horses were evaluated and the overall comment was that we had a good lot and he was especially impressed by the good teeth, a problem in Holland. 2) This mailing list has been a great source of information and I hope to contribute also. 3) Carol Rivoire's book, it's great, congratulations Carol. I am also writing a book about education and I know how much work it is. I recommend Carol's book on Fjords highly. 4) I attended the evaluation in Eugene. I did not bring any horses and was only able to stay the first day. When I came home I mentioned two things: There as a beautiful stallion called Kanada King well trained under saddle, but was a handfull in the halter classes. Also, I found the way the evaluation is conducted not to be very educational.Now, a few months later, after reading some of the comments and discussing with Bob van Bon, I am encouraged by reading the e-mail from Wayne, one of the judges, that he too is concerned about the lack of educational value in the present system. I hope to breed some of our mares to Kanada King . Bob van Bon said he would like to buy him or get some frozen semen . I think the behavior is a red herring in terms of the genetics, he is otherwise on magnificent horse. I also want to let anyone know that we will be taking some horses to Libby and Turlock shows that are for sale following is the list: (All prices are in American funds) Note: All of the following horses are registered with the Norwegian Fjord Horse Registry.
