and here's another pic of the 'lil stinkers!

Is that a Fjord or haflinger? I'm sorry I'm an untrained eye but having a little trouble discerning the breed. Were you pulling that round bale with the one pony? How far did you have to travel? I am pretty impressed. My big horse has only had about 1,500 lbs. behind her for any length of time. And she weighs that much. Is that a small or large round bale? Weight? Love to see pics.

Janet are all of your horses broke and how are you hooked to your round bale ? Horses are pretty .

Fjords, yes one horse pulls a 650 - 900 lb bale, from 300 feet to 1/4 mile.

Don't tell them they are small. I chum for cattle every night. Amazing where they will follow the feed sleigh. KM

Janet, great photos and I am in awe of your herd. The Fjords for me were love at first site. Have not purchased a team of them yet, but my first pony years ago was a buckskin shetland. Don't think I will outlive the love for dorsal stripes and manes and tails that merge.

Thanks for posting the pics, those little buggers sure can pull!

Janet, they are absolutely beautiful! I love Fjords! Do they ride too?

two mares are trained, one 4 year old has had ground work. The yearling and another 4 year old not yet trained. The two ride and drive.

WOW!!!!!!!!!

Janet - you are my hero!!! Such an inspiration! Beautiful horses.

Janet- I didn't think I liked Fjords, but BOY! do I like yours! They are gorgeous and it is pretty obvious the one pulling that bale around has a terrific work ethic, she is superb, but you already know that. Lucky you, but it is obvious you've put a lot of work and care into them to have the results you have. I don't know Fjord bloodlines at all, but are yours a particular lineage-they have a pretty specific look to them that I have not sen in other fjords.

SD, the mare doing the work is a Grabbson daughter, Grabb being one of the 10 most influential sires in the U.S.

I have 3 daughters of hers, two sired by Valea's Lee, who is the most massive stallion in the breed. The 6 year old is trained and is an awesomely powerful horse. I can't wait to get the 4 year old trained. The third is a yearling.

Here are the pedigrees on the 5 http://www.nfhr.com/ponyweb/ponyweb.cgi?search

you can click on the horses name and view the pedigree. Tolina is out of a totally different line, and is completely different in disposition. While the other 4 are great for draft work... things such as the single tree bouncing into their legs never phased them, Tolina is quite sensitive and more suitable for sport where a quick responsive horse is what is desired.

I see that my link only takes you to the main page in the pedigree search. So under 'owner' type in Janet W McNally (It has to be exact), and then you will get the page I was hoping to show.
