This year is going to be VERY exciting here at FCF. I am getting a LOT of QUALITY Fjords in on consignment. I have alway had GREAT Fjords to sell over the years, but....this late winter/ early spring is turning out to be an exciting time, with fantastic horses here to sell. I LOVE getting in different horses, working different horses and meeting so many wonderful new people. Both the sellers and the buyers. Pat Holland wrote about it years ago, saying how fortunate she was to be able to see the bloodlines first hand. I totally agree! There are a few bloodlines, you just know will be a great horse to work with, other bloodlines, surprise you but all the horses that come to FCF have been awesome to work with and just make my love for the Fjords deeper. My assistant Eby Higdon has also found her love for Fjords growing. She told me this last weekend, how much she has enjoyed working with them and doesn't care if she ever gets another breed to work with, as the Fjords have it all. Energy, talent, willingness, brains. And all the horses here at FCF just get better every week. Even the ones that come already trained. As we all know, horses can keep learning new things all the time. So....we have been having a GREAT time working horses. Anyway, getting a tad off subject, I wanted to tell everyone about some fantastic Fjords on the farm. O.H. Sebastian came last Friday, 10 yr old gelding, been there done that, been shown at Finger Lakes, kid safe, SOFT canter depart, really sweet! I do think he may be sold already, I will know by the weekend. SWEET boy. Skyview Sylvia adorable mare, 10+ head, she has a GREAT walk to her, NICE trot and good canter. We have had her in training since first of Feb. and she most likely will be going to the horse fair in Madison in April if not sold. A+ trail horse, bold and brave. Really a talented girl, can go in ANY direction. I can see her as a pony club mount, a hunter/ jumper,dressage, pack horse, trail horse, pleasure horse, driving horse. Child to adult.She is versatile and willing. Modellen bloodlines, Grabb, Tilly(German) QUALITY Horse $7000 Maren, Gunner, Rueben, Ella 3 -6 yr olds, all ride and drive. All have been exposed to traffic and trails. All are super laid back and nice horses. These are from Ken Raspotnik's farm. From his blue ribbon evaluated stallion Luton. SUPER laid back, SUPER nice looking, SUPER stallion. Prices will vary but all are reasonable. We will be starting them in training next week, working them in dressage principals. Will continue to get them out onto the trails . These are some nice horses with reasonable price tags. AND STARTED! A little early to talk about, but two 6 yr old geldings, Highland Prairie Tore, and Crown Oak Keswick are also coming to FCF this month. Both of them are very nice driving horses and have had some exposure to riding, We will be working with both these geldings under saddle to get them a little further in their education under saddle. Tore is from Glacier View Samsom(Kanada King-Gjest ) line along with Rokida's Knute(Lee ) line and Anvil's Steinfinn. Talk about movement and a super thinking brain. Keswick is from King Gjestar ll X Katrina (Grabb). Another nice pedigree. All of the horses have been very well cared for and have been used for one discipline or another. I just am BLESSED to get so many wonderful horses in. Can't hold it in any longer, just had to tell you all. This is the fun part about my job, well, actually working with horses is the fun part, but being able to ride and work with so many different bloodlines is something most never get to do. I know, you have to "like" working with so many different horses and beable to see them come and go, but I'm just thrilled this year to be starting off this way. !!! CAN YOU TELL!!!!!!! :-) I hope you will remember FCF for all your Fjord shopping needs. Definately have some awesome Fjords for sale. Still have a few opening for training, but they are getting filled and lastly Ole is available for 2007 breedings. Check it all out on my website www.franciscreekfjords.com Gonna be a FANTASTIC YEAR!!!
