Hi Teressa I would love to come and see Merit perform on Sunday. We have two fjords and have been going to Libby for some years with our gelding Per. It's always been a great event for us. Do you know which class he will be in so that I can ask Sally what time I should be there. I know they start early in the morn and it runs all day. We only live about 8 miles from there and our property borders the Pilchuck Tree Farm so we have a great place to ride and drive in our neighborhood. You said he is from Stillmeadows and we know Hallie from when she lived on Orcas Island and had the first Fjords that we had ever seen. We were smitten and had to have that breed.Perhaps I'll hear from you before Sunday and see if I can't find a buyer. In our immediate area we have two breeders, Peggy Enge and Solvieg Watanade. Sounds like a great guy,Krist and Jeanine Martinsen ----- Original Message ----- From: Teressa Kandianis<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, February 02, 2005 11:49 AM Subject: gelding for sale This message is from: "Teressa Kandianis" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>> My 7 year old gelding,Merit, is for sale. He has been trained in driving by Brian Jensen, singles and pairs. He has been in 5 day a week training for dressage, hunter and jumper for over a year. His jumping form is very correct. He is the darling of the training barn, affectionate and loveable. He was at his first "away" show in Libby last September as was I. We were both very nervous but we placed third in the fab forties class. (I am an over-50 beginning rider and horse person so I'm not really cantering yet.) He is brown dun, 14.1 hh, and is CFHR registered. He placed in the ribbons in large classes in the October Classic Hunter/Jumper Show in Monroe, WA. last October and wasn't affected by "away" show nerves there. A 16 yo from my barn rode him in several large classes. I somehow ended up with 4 fjords - don't ask me how. And as beginning rider/drivers, my husband and I really need to just have one horse each to work with. But, as all fjord owners know, the emotional connections are strong and it is hard to make the decision to sell. If someone wants to see him in person in Western Washington, Merit will be jumping at a schooling school at Collinswood Farm on Sunday, February 6 (this weekend). It is at the Stanwood Equestrian Center, 28119 Old Pacific Highway, Stanwood, WA. He is still in a full training schedule at Fox Bay Farm in Ferndale, Washington and can also be seen there. If anyone would like to see photos of Merit, please email me and I will send some. I am asking $6,000 for him. Teressa Kandianis Ferndale, Washington (Just north of Bellingham)
