Hi List,
Just wanted to say a big huge public THANK YOU to Patti Jo for handling the
sale of Sebastian for me. She has filled a number of roles in this
transaction, including (but not limited to) Coach, Mentor, Cheerleader,
Coordinator, Facilitator, Hand Holder, Advisor, Photographer, Trainer,
Counselor, and Navigator. She has extended herself beyond the business
relationship to help me deal with the emotional issue of selling this guy,
who has been my baby for 9 of his 10 years. It almost felt like I had a big
sister out there in Wisconsin helping me through this whole process.
Sebastian IS a fabulous horse, and in her post Patti makes it sound like I
had something to do with that, but really he is a credit to his bloodlines
(he's an ERLEND son, out of a MONTANO daughter,) and he's the product of the
great eye for breeding that was Julie Will's here at Old Hickory Farm in NY
state. I was fortunate to live up the road (so to speak) from Julie when I
was looking for my first fjord, and Julie recognized Sebastian's
family-friendly personality right from the start. She matched me and my 4
kids up with him when he was only a yearling, and we've had a WONDERFUL time
learning and growing right along with him. Patti's remarks about Sebastian
are really a credit to Julie, not to me.
But in summary, I'd like to say that Patti Jo was always very honest, very
sensitive, and very professional. I would encourage anyone looking to buy
or sell a fjord to start with her. She goes the extra mile to make the
right match, and she was the ONLY person I can even IMAGINE trusting to be
the surrogate mother to Sebastian until she found him a new home.
Thanks again, Patti, and give him a smooch for me--
Mary Blatz, in upstate NY where we're getting one last blast of winter this
weekend

Just wanted to congratulate Cheryl Whitfield of SC, for her decision in
purchasing O.H. Sebastian. He has to pass his vet check, but see no
problem
with that. Sebastian is a COOL horse, owned for a little while longer by
Mary
Blatz of NY. Mary did a wonderful job in raising him, training him, taking
care of him. He is just wonderful, he'll do whatever you want and in a
VERY
safe manner! Cheryl bought Luton from Ken Raspotnik a year or two ago and
you
know the saying, "they are like potato chips, you can't just have one"
Well...soon she will have TWO. I know she will be thrilled with him,
ANYONE
would!
Have several NICE Fjords for sale, if you are looking or know of someone
who
is, check out my website to see who we all have on the farm.
I'm getting two more next weekend. Highland Prairie Tore, coming on
consignment, neat horse. AND ....I bought myself a new Fjord Gelding,
Tomas.
Owned by Bob and Therine Gudknecht. I'm hoping that Tomas will want to be
a
jumper! He has only been driven, but I know his calling is for becoming a
hunter/jumper!!! Have my first show of the season March 31, in Green Bay.
Hunter/jumper Show. NEED a Fjord to take there next year!!! My TB is
pretty
awesome, but there is just something about jumping with a Fjord.
Patti Jo Walter-in East Central WI, where we want that 60 degree weather
