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 :)
