->    Hey, Mike - last week there was a Fjord gelding for sale here, 5 years
-> old, only green broke, for $2000.  Is that too good to be true?  I figured
-> that there might be a REASON he was just green broke.  Or are there enough
-> Fjord breeders now that the prices might be coming down a bit?
Well that sounds a little on the cheap side.  But then horses in general are
probably cheaper in your area.  Normally that would be the price one would 
ay
for a weanling colt.  Although friends of ours here did pick up a gelding for
$1500.  He was a 4 yr old too.  He was completely untrained though.  He also
wasn't gelded until just before they bought him.  He was kind of a rescue
project for the person that had him.  She bought out a breeder that had come 
on
some hard times and couldn't feed them anymore.  They were in pretty sad 
hape
really.  He has turned out to be a pretty nice horse now though.
