Have I got some lonely maresAt a clinic last weekend, Imilie looked longingly, and with great curiosity at a Holstiener foal frolicking with her mama in the paddock next to the grass driving arena. Yes, it made me very sad at that moment that this very good mare is empty right now.

RE: tough times market
This message is from: Heather Baskey cavy_l...@yahoo.com All I can say (from now being a potential buyer) is that it is a buyer's market out there. There are scores of horses available (too many in my opinion) and as I look for my new partner - I am taking my time and waiting for a spark to happen. Several horses out there looking for a home. I would rather NOT be looking and have my wonder pony by my side for the next 30 years - but reality is - I am sadly looking ... and it's even more sad to find so many horses that need a home.

The Horrible Horse (or anything else) Market
This message is from: Michele Noonan fjordl...@hotmail.com I have to agree with most of the comments made about the reasonable horse prices and the horrible seller's market.. We didn't see this coming ourselves until all 4 mares were bred (and one more bought bred) for 2008 babies. Now we have 4 remaining yearling colts that have not sold and we have them priced for just under $1000. Not even breaking even. We are hoping to sell them before I have to spend another $6k on hay this summer... We bred only two mares last year and both of those babies we are willing to keep and not sell. We probably will only breed one, two tops (and that will be to sell her) this year. We have to re consider how many mares to keep and we have decided to keep our main mare Tone and only Evaluated mares. Of course our young stallion OFI Skogen too. but he can't contribute much for a few more years. Hopefully things will improve in the market or we will have a very flashy gray gelding. We have to consider the cost of keeping the yearlings another year, versus selling them now at a loss. or next year at a bigger loss. This is a good year for trades for sure... I'm looking for a Meadowbrook cart... Anyone want a few yearlings in trade LOL Heck take them ALL! I don't even want to spend much on advertising at this point! Our hay prices, although low compared to everyone else, still doubled last year. That's hard to swallow when you are buying 30 tons of hay. We also had over 3000 in vet bills last year with the loss of our stallion Soren. Considering we do all our own worming and vaccinations I rarely have to pay the vet more than $500 for Show Exams (Coggins and Health) Overall a tough year here in Montana.. like everywhere else I am sure. We all learn from our poor planning.. (The ENTIRE United States I hope) Michele Noonan Western Montana _ Hotmail® is up to 70% faster.

In the market
This message is from: Lisa Sherrodd [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi All, You may remember I posted a while ago about a 20 year old mare I was looking at, well that didn't work out. I wanted to let the list know that I am in the market for a Fjord gelding that would be suitable for my 8 year old daughter. Disposition must be impeccable and the horse must be easy to handle and very calm. My daughter is a timid rider and prefers to just mosey along on a horse. If you all wouldn't mind keeping me in mind if something comes along for purchase I would appreciate it. I am located in South Dakota. Thanks, Lisa Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Re: NFHR registration value of Fjord what the market will bear
This message is from: Lisa Wiley [EMAIL PROTECTED] Carole, Could you please explain the following statement? Why would line breeding or inbreeding cause these problems anymore than outcross breeding? If the problem is in a line it is there doesn't matter how you use it. The worth of a Fjordhorse depends on many many things, the first one being his LINEAGE. -- If he or she has a screwed up pedigree --- linebred, inbred for instance --then in my opinion, he has very litle value because you don't know what lurks in his genes that may cause serious trouble in his and your future. -- He may look OK, act OK now, but may go blind at ten years of age -- Or something else equally devestating.

From the little bit of horse selling I've done, I've found and local horseman's opinion, I've found that a lot of people want a broke horse. Why? I'm not so certain, but I've heard, from somebody who sees more horsepeople than I do, that there are a lot of riders out there, but few horsemen, who know how to properly train a baby. IF this is the case, I'll gladly keep my youngsters and give them a good, healthy start. Pamela
Fjord horse market?
This message is from: David Stewart, Registrar [EMAIL PROTECTED] Having spoken with a fellow breeder earlier today about keeping youngsters until they are broken to ride, I now write to the list in the hope that you can tell me at what age you sell your offspring. Here in the UK, very few people want to buy a weanling, or indeed anything unbroken. Breeders' keep their young stock until at least four, but more often than not, until aged five. Is their a market for young Fjord stock in the USA, Canada and the rest of Europe? With good wishes, David

This message is from: saskia schoofs [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi all, this morning I went to the market in my village. There is a small animal-section, with some horses, cows, etc. As it is January the 2nd, there were only 4 horses, but... one of them was a Fjord! He looked young, I think 18 months or something, a gelding and so sweet! But I didn't dare to make enquiries, for fear to end up with him, something I really can't afford right now. It's the first time I saw a Fjord on this market. So, I'm beginning this millennium in a hard, though responsible way, I dare say... best wishes! saskia
