I found a rigged up rubber tired wagon on Megan's new place so looking for some hookers-Fjord's that is.

what getting to old to through harness over anything bigger then that , it comes in plastic now :lol: :lol: :lol:

 

[Northern Rancher]

I've always wanted to try a team of Fjords and yeah I won't mind harnessing something smaller.

I took a Fjord pack horse into the mountains once.... twice actually; the first time and the last time..... same trip. When I was a kid I put up with the Shetlands because I had no choice. As a semi-grown up I don't think I have to subject myself to the torture anymore. :shock: This horse was smart... too smart he could untie any knot you put in front of him, and was stubborn. Just like a Shetland really. Probably the toughest and strongest horse I've ever been around though, I'll give him that. I've talked to other folks who've had similar experiences, but it could well be that none of us have the right 'horse whisperer' approach for the beasts. :lol:

you bet I've been looking for one of these sleighs for about 10 years now , no more tipsy sleighing .

I've been told that they make good driving horses I know of a fella in South Dakota that has a pair , he feeds his cows with them all winter , seems to really enjoy them

 

[Northern Rancher]

There's two or three outfits feeding with Fjord teams up here right now-I'm just trying to convince one buddy he needs to get rid of his. Might not have many cows left around after next week.

Little bow rancher is it like a logging sleigh your getting hooked up. I had a nice all steel two bob deal I had rigged to feed with it was pretty smooth to ride but not sure how wide the runners were.

 

[Northern Rancher]

Wrong pic that's old Flash instilling some manners in a psycho simmy 4H steer-this should be my bale sleigh.

 

[little bow rancher]

i kinda think it was to be a logging sleigh , but it's all wood , with 3" runners , it come from northern Quebec

 

[Northern Rancher]

I thought it must be with wide runners like that.

Funny to run across this post. Have been looking for a Fjord team as well...as age gets up there, the Percherons are just getting to be a chore to harness up. Some advertised in the Producer, but seem a little pricy, but perhaps you get what you pay for.

 

[little bow rancher]

hey NR would you consider Suffolk Punch, they are a lot smaller and pretty good minded horses

 

[Northern Rancher]

Are they mares?

 

[little bow rancher]

no but I have a really nice stud

 

[Northern Rancher]

They kind of look familiar don't they.

 

[little bow rancher]

not even close , my looks better :wink:

 

[Northern Rancher]
