Previously Owned but still Loved Fjords

Glowyn  "Glory"-  Glory was that very heavy (?1350 lbs) at 14.3 HH mare.   She was another mare we could put anyone on, but she wasn't the trail horse or broodmare we wanted in the end, being extremely drafty and course headed, so we sold her to a home that wanted a mare to ride in their own arena and pasture.

Blakie 2386-B   dob 5/22/1996  14.2 HH  NFHR
s- Rusten (Canada)
d- Dahldatter 
Blakka is a solid mare and a pleasure to ride for a moderate to advanced rider, but wasn't a good match for my husband whom she was intended for as a trail horse.  So she was sold to the midwest before we moved from Oregon to Washington to cut our loads.

Claybank's Lena NFHR and Canadian Registered  DOB 4/16/1996
s- Ritter
d- Sage

We had purchased Lena when she was in foal with Elina (see below).
Lena was sold ONLY because of our out of state move from Oregon to WA and we had to cut round trips.   She was only 13.1 hh but a powerhouse and I could put anyone on her.  She was trail ride and driving mare supreme and was great with children too.

DECEASED TBF Delikat  NFHR Registered, DNA, Microchipped  dob 7/20/2007  Deceased summer 2019  14.1 HH
S- Qvadmann- grey
D-Lena III
​

It breaks my heart to still think about my Delikat.  This mare picked me as I was looking at her to pick her.   I brought her home at 2 1/2 years old to start our adventure together.   Quick to learn,  REELY nice movement and bomb proof as well as attention seeking fit her well.   And her mischievous streak!   If she could reach it through her stall door or her pasture she would drag it in and trash it.  Halters, a saddle rack (I have nooo idea how she got that in her stall!) and more she was happy as a clam if she could be carrying stuff in her mouth and then destroy it later.   She also liked to paw in her water (thanks for getting your water dirty AGAIN Deli), and even dropped with me a couple of different times in a pond to roll (notice there wasn't a third time!).  Funny streak and all this was a very cherished mare.  I trail rode her,  dressage lessoned and trained on her and drove her.  Complications developed while she was away from home and we never got a straight answer from the clinic (different employees gave different answers to our breeder) and we were never billed.  Suspicious to say the least.    I miss my silly girl but will be reunited with her in Heaven.

Fir Meadow Elko Elina  dob 6/19/2015
s- D+ Elko  15 HH and about 1400 lbs  registered CFHA
d- Claybanks Lena  registered NFHR and CFHA

We purchased Elina 'in utero' when we purchased her dam.    The breeding was advertised as registerable by her breeder, but we found out that this breeding came under newer rules that made Elina ineligible for registration.  Too bad, this was a beautiful filly that we were planning on keeping for my husband for a trail horse.  Elina was bombproof even as a young filly,  quick to learn and loved her people.    She was sold with her dam when we had to cut back our herd to prepare for our move from Southern Oregon to NW Washington State.    The last we heard Elina is now in Japan.

YOUR NEXT BEST FRIEND!    NFHR REGISTERED, DNA, and Microchipped

Fir Meadow Viljar Kristoff dob 5/24/18 Colt
s- Skogheims Villjar,  Norwegian Import
d- LHF Jasmine  evaluated 79, high red


He is two years old end of May 2020- READY for you to start driving training with him!!!

Beautiful natural  movement says talent for DRESSAGE!!  and gorgeous build like his full sister Hosanna Growing fast and Fjord smart with a great temperment to work worth.  LOVES attention too.  Your next BFF for driving. English or Western dressage or trail or maybe even CDE :).  With his dam"s nice East coast blood lines coupled with Viljar's Norwegian import lines there is a lot of potential use for this stud nearly anywhere in the US.  His really nice full sister from 2016 is staying in our herd. 

Congratulations Heather in Central Washington for your new trail buddy!

  Fir Meadow Tsjalle Majestetiske "Tis-kah'"  dob 4/9/2020  NFHR registered, microchipped, DNA
   Carries one grey recessive gene for color

s- Tsjalle -grey imported sire from Germany - pulls sleds in the snow, dressage, movement, producing high quality progeny
d- LHF Jasmine  double/single driving, dressage, movement, producing high quality progeny  Evaluated a very high red at 78.

WOW NATURAL MOVEMENT!  Charming, bold and curious.  Calm but full of energy!  Learns quickly and loves people and has even stolen a glove out of my husband's back pocket.   His name means Majestic in Norwegian and that he is.   This lovely colt could go many directions and is looking for that home to love him and guide him into a great long term friendship.  He is being handled daily and has been started on ponying with his dam.    His sire's genetics are largely unrelated to nearly every fjord in the United States, so he could go far and if bred to mares with one or two grey genes he can produce grey for you (50% to 75% chance). 

Congratulations Wendy in Western Washington for your new youth riding program steed!

Opal M.     dob 04/25/2004  KFPS / FHANA registered 840004200404482  Inbreeding Coefficient 4.3%     
Sire  Anne 340 x dam Anika M. 

Breeding plans in the research phase for a 2021 breeding to produce a 2022 foal.  Looking into AI possiblities with a KFPS approved stud.  Filly will be retained, colt will be for sale.     will plan to start saddle work with her this winter as she has not been ridden since about 2015.  Her Temperment is BEYOND AMAZING and I"ve bridled and saddled her without any issue or hint of issue at all.
Opal Is Registered KFPS/FHANA with full papers.  Opal has had 2 lovely foals, the latest turning 2 in June 2021, and a colt 'Opie' a few years ago (she was live covered), Pearl (filly) in June 2019 (A.I.). Had good pregnancies and birthed on her own. She is a wonderful Mom to her babies (had to take the last one off her at 10 months, or she'd probably still be nursing). Regular cycles. Opal is a pretty mover (smooth for purebred Friesian). Could make a darling dressage horse, driving horse, trail horse (or?) with someone that might be interested. She doesn't require medications, and has never had any founder or colic issues. She gets along well with other horses, and is also fine by herself. After Opal was started under saddle she had been ridden by confident intermediate teens, along with my advanced beginner Husband (with help, rode in the arena and on trails).
