Gene Bauer was my father and a man who signified the best of Norwegian Fjord Ponies. He was a major breeder, stressed the importance of pure breeding, sound training and produced the highest quality of the breed as possible. Unfortunately, he passed away May '96. That's when I decided to developed this Fjord site and help folks find these charming Fjords via the Internet. Hi, I'm Betsy Bauer.  Would you like to... Learn about the Norwegian Fjord Ponies I have been near my dad as he raised more that 200 Fjords at Hestdalen Farms, Round Lake, Illinois. I am a Fjord owner since he passed away, and am amazed that they are so easy to care for. Did you know they don't have to wear shoes & they only eat hay? Yep, low maintenance! Some breeders & owners have their Fjords shod if they work them hard. The breed has many qualities that make owning them a much easier and enjoyable sport: patience, strength, and a level headed approach to working with you. Our ponies Hakar and Ole stand 13.3 and 14.3 hands high.  We have Arne who enjoys 3 day eventing and has a great "optimum speed" and our baby is Sebastian, eventer in training... When youngsters ride, though, you need to address the concern of the Fjord strength. Many youngsters get discouraged when the Fjords want to graze or go back to the herd, and all your riding ques are needed to direct those drafty necks and bodies where you want to go. Fjords are known for being tolerant, however they are animals and will try to get the upper hand if they can. Remember who's the Boss! Click Pic and see more Read More

Why have a Fjord pony? I began riding on a Morgan horse - boy when we hitched him up to the surrey watch out, step lively and jump in. He was off and rolling. I know that many experiences with horses offer different results, but we Fjord lovers, feel that a Fjord has a different "mind-set". If they have had quality training they will stand, as you hitch them, wait patiently while you all get into the carriage, as you adjust your reins and when you say "Walk On!" they will proceed. There are many traits inherent in the Fjord which make working with them a joy. They perform with big hearts, nuzzle you everyday, stand when there is trouble and are very forgiving. Here are some terrific Fjords which I have found for sale across the country. Click the State and find a DIRECT LINK to the Owner's email and phone number. Good Luck!
