     Other Fjords advertised that I noticed about a year ago were about $5000 
each - that's why I asked.
  Although friends of ours here did

escue

 MM> breeder that had come on
 MM> some hard times and couldn't feed them anymore.  They

     Okay - that makes me think that this particular horse in the paper is 
probably a "fixer-upper", too.  If it hadn't been about 100 miles north of 
here I would have gone to look at him, just out of curiosity.
