This beauty is my new sweet friend Danika. She is a 15hh, 12 year old Fjord mare. She does have a tiny bit of Arab somewhere in there which is why she has the white on that darling face.
Let me tell you, my search for a new horse( Draft horse ) to love took me to so many places. I did look here in BC, but ended up turning to the US as finding a Draft horse of sorts in BC, proved impossible on a budget such as mine.
I went to Yakima WA, Salem Oregon, Sisters Oregon, and then my pot of gold, Forks WA to where I had the pleasure to meet the very first Fjord of my life Danika. Soon to be followed by her brother and father. Her father by the way, is 35 years old and still producing!
I have to say, I have been owned and owned quite a few different breeds of horses, and love them all, but was unprepared for what these fuzzy, walking Teddy bears did to my insides!!!!
They were so sweet and wanted to be touched and loved and snuggled. They had no problem with kisses and hugs, not pushy, just giving soft noses up to my cheeks and lips and crook of my neck. Resting their heads on my shoulders waiting for my arms to wrap around to complete the hug. Where have these babies been all my life!!??
I now call them 'Julie sized Drafts' as they allow my 5'4 self perfect access to climb aboard, put the saddle on, you name it.
I am waiting on pins and needles for my Danika to come home here. She is getting the Coggins and Vet stuff done for the border and then I will be hauling her with the help of some great and generous friends of mine by the end of the month...hopefully. Feels like forever!!!
If you ever get a chance to have a horse in your life..check them out!!
Julie :D
