I was first introduced to Fjords in 1989 at Olds College. Having used a team
of horses for chores and trail rides for a number of years I had thought that the
perfect team would be something like a tough Shetland crossed with a Suffolk
Punch. Then I saw the Fjords and after I was told about how strong and sure
footed they were and their other characterisics,I knew it was time to try and
talk Janet, my new bride of 2 weeks into buying a couple.
After 8 years of searching,finding out how rare and costly these ponies were
and going "Please,Please,Please can I have a Fjord " Janet caved and said
"OK I guess we can buy a couple weanling fillies". Until this I thought Janet
figured I might get to carried away.
By fall we had a herd of 6 mares,1-2 year old filly,a stud,3 fillies and a stud
colt that were born that spring of 97. After spending some time and using these
attention loving horses we don't think we got carried away (to much) |
