With great reluctance we have decided to offer for sale the first Fjord born on our farm. With three Fjords under four in training, I feel that there is not enough time to do justice to anymore. Asa is now an 8 month old gelding out of Sonja 7 C-797-BXB-B-932-M by NFR Arve FV-1-740-S. Asa's grandsire and dam on dam's side were both imported from Norway and his grandsire on sire's side is Konggard. Asa has been handled twice daily since his arrival here, has had all inoculations, worming, hoof care, etc. He is a joy to take care of, a perfect gentleman, who truly seems to enjoy human interaction. We have had Asa's full sister, NFR Shastamen, since she was a weanling. She is now a coming four year old, is 14.2 and a more refined type Fjord. She was awarded a blue ribbon in confirmation at an NFHR evaluation when she was two years old. I started her under saddle last spring and after three months took her to a well attended local hunter show where she placed (2nd and 4th) in two of her three classes. I might add that it was a first ever show for both of us. She has been trail ridden extensively in many situations this last year and has learned to handle herself very well. I started occasionally foxhunting her this last fall. We just hilltop for now but she has no difficulty keeping up with the other horses in the field and comments from fellow hunt members have been positive and plentiful. She has also been introduced to draft work, both single and team, and driving. She has demonstrated a very good work ethic for all; in fact, my draft horse coach said that as a team she and her half-sister were the best three year olds he had ever driven. We feel that Asa very much resembles his sister in size, build, movement, temperament and will possess many of the same athletic abilities as her. I'm sorry to have been so long-winded, but want Asa to find the best possible fit for life. Inquire to 540-947-2068 or e-mail us.
