The Total Package: Movement, Temperament, Training, and Great Looks!

Valebu is a five year old grey dun gelding standing 14.1 hh. He has an uphill build and a great attitude. Valebu has three excellent gaits with an especially good canter. Both Valebu's trot and his canter are springy and elastic and feel just great to ride! His walk is super, it is forward with large overtrack and natural rhythm with no tension.

Valebu is a worker-bee! This fellow is all business and he loves to work. Rhythmical, relaxed, supple, and happy in his work, Valebu is fun to ride and his temperament makes him suitable for just about anyone. Valebu is very well-schooled. He bends well in both directions, moves off the leg, is responsive, self-confident, and on the bit in walk trot and canter. He enjoys riding out and is happy and obedient out in the fields and wide open spaces.

If you want to ride dressage on a Fjord, this is definitely your boy! 2005 Training Level 1 & 2 Champion at CADORA with season average of 68% and high score of 74.6%, as well as earning Dressage Champion, Open Riding Reserve Champion, and Overall GRAND Champion at Finger Lakes!

SOLD! JAEGER (Felix X Cindy/Ostar)

Really Wonderful Movement - Jaeger (pronounced Yaeger) is handsome, athletic, well-bred, and just SO easy to get along with! Two year old gelding with an outstanding trot, this fellow really gets up off the ground and moves. Jaeger will be tall and elegant, should finish around 14.3 hh. He is an attractive golden shade of brown dun.

Like all of Cindy's colts, Jaeger has been sweet, tractable and agreeable since birth. He always says "OK" to whatever is asked of him. Sire and dam are both super driving horses. Cindy is still strong and healthy at over 22 years of age - and looks 10 years younger.

With his combination of size, temperament and athletic ability, Jaeger will suit a wide range of owners. If you are interested in a Fjord dressage prospect, I can highly recommend this outstanding young gelding.

Congratulations to Jaeger's new owner in Minnesota!

SOLD! WALDO (Marnix X Hedi/Oswin)

Sweet and Charming - Three year old brown dun gelding. Waldo is a good mover with nice freedom in his shoulder and push from behind. He has a well-shaped neck of good length coming up nicely out of his shoulders. Waldo has been well-handled, he responds to light aids, and he is never inclined to be pushy.

Both of Waldo's parents are Dutch imports and successful competitive driving horses in Combined Driving (like 3-day eventing in a carriage) at the highest level.

Waldo has tons of personality and charm, and is so easy to work with. He has a rare and desirable marking, the dark stripe over his withers, but he also has a white star on his forehead. Waldo has good conformation with a nice balance between front end and hind end, good straight legs with good joints and straight action, and large, round, "text-book" feet.

Congratulations to Waldo's new owner, Tish in Michigan!

SOLD! GRIFFON (Felix X Raldiene/Halstor)

Super Nice Colt!! - Attractive brown dun yearling stud colt with adorable face, strong chest and big round hindquarters. This colt is very well-mannered, eager to please, and easy-going.

A very interesting breeding, we have crossed the outstanding Norwegian stallion FELIX with Prisco's imported half-sister Raldiene (Halstor X Jaldine by Brusvien), and we couldn't be more pleased with the result. Griffon shows Felix's strong hip and smooth gaits, with the beautiful head and breed type of the HALSTOR line.

Griffon has been well-handled, leads well, moves away from pressure, gives his feet, and is pleasant, mannerly, and people-oriented. A lovely colt with stallion potential.

Congratulations to Griffon's new owner in Idaho! Griffon will be raised as a stallion. Look for Griffon in 2006 as a three year old!
