I'm sure they will.  Mrs. Sorum is very selective about where they go.

they're on my list!

beautiful animals... what does a fjord cost?

we're all-draft animals, mostly belgians, but it would be good to have a pair of small drafts for working in areas where our big drafts can't manuver... we're going to be clearing a section of our woods and want to use the horses to do the job instead of a tractor.  I've been thinking about fjords or haflingers, and we haven't really reached the buying point, but it's time to start learning.

that and next summer I will have a house full of neices and nephews for several weeks and it would be useful to have *small* horses to be able to put them on (my drafts are all over 18h).

Mine were around $3,000 each...pretty inexpensive for the breed - proof that the economy is affecting registered, well-trained horses!  

 

I use mine to drag the arenas and spread manure in the pasture....they are perfect for it and it's a great workout for me!

 

Good luck!  I hope you get a pair!

 

Pastafarian by choice....Why not??  It makes just as much sense!

 

13 months until our trip to Africa!  I can't wait!!!!

I've seen them on sites like Equine.com for as little as $1500.  These Fjords are between 5-7K and thats reduced due to the owners passing.  They have a few older broodmares much cheaper.  So I guess its like all horses, some are much more than others.

I have Morgans but someday must have a Fjord! I rode them when I was young and love the breed. When my son is older if he is interested in riding I think I will look for one. I would drive it too. Such a neat breed! Congrats on your ned addition, she looks so sweet! thumbsup.gif

Thanks all!  I really like the personality on this horse.  She's extremely sweet, curious, and people oriented.  I think she's going to be fun!  love.gif
