Fast forward a few years & I started doing my research on the Norwegian
Fjord horse. I quickly came to realize that "hey, there aren't many of these
around". I finally ended up finding a sweet broodmare, Elsie Rose as well as
a quiet little riding mare, Kjor Tina, both in foal and brought them to
Washington.
When they arrived I could not believe it - they were better than I had
imagined. Let me back up a step... I had been dreaming of these horses for
years, researched farms for at least a year and had created this "Wonder
Horse" in my mind. I was a little worried that I had created such high
expectations that these horses would never be able to fulfill my image of
them and I would be sorely disappointed. WELL...everyday those first few
weeks, I fell deeper in love with these mares and I continued to be more
impressed with them each day. Was I just imagining this? No. Horse people
from around the area came to see this unique breed & were impressed with
their mild manners & easy going ways.
While waiting for my mares to foal I started to research stallions to breed
my mare to next. There was no way to not have another one of these running
around in the pastures! I found one I truly thought would be "IT". During
the waiting time, I found out about Fair Acres Ole and was once again in
that shock & awe of such a stunning creature. And wait - he's for sale? I
could not believe my luck - I knew this was one of those opportunities of a
lifetime. So Ole will be coming out West f
The rest, as they say, is history. The Fjord community is truly gracious,
kind & warm hearted & anyone looking to buy a horse will do well buying from
a reputable breeder here. We are proud to call ourselves Fjord owners &
breeders. I hope that our farm will be able to add to the Fjord horse
community!

After
years of being a veterinary technician and
working with many breeds of horses, I
decided
I wanted
a Fjord. I researched many Fjords farms
and was truly thrilled when I found Bob &
Sally's.
It was a
long drive in the winter weather, but well
worth it, what a gorgeous place and
incredible
Fjords!!!
Everything is kept in tip-top shape with
nothing being out of place, we were treated
as
though we
were part of the family and we looked at
many gorgeous Fjords. We had a hard time
making up
our mind on just one and so we ended up
purchasing two colts. I would have to say
The
Kjorvig's have the best looking, nicest
tempered Fjords I have ever been around. Our
two
Fjords
are now coming three and they are working
nicely on our ranch under saddle. We even
used
them this
past spring during calving and they did
great!!! Our children also love to ride them
and think they
are just
awesome!! We would highly recommend
Kjorsvigs for any Fjord, they know what they
are selling and will not ever steer you
wrong. These are very trustworthy people who
care about what the sell and who they sell
them to.

We love "Liberty" - we renamed her Freya
(Norwegian spelling I think is Frihet which means something close to freedom or
liberty). Jim and I have Wednesdays off and today the weather was lovely and Jim
and I went riding on the horses -- I had Freya, and she really behaved quite
well. Jim had Ulf and he said that he could sure see the Norwegian in Ulf, as
he would do what you wanted when it was the same as what he wanted to do
anyway. Ha! But we all had a good time. I am laughing alot more now that we
have the horses -- I think life is more fun again! So, that is sure worth it!
Sally, I would be very happy to serve as a reference for your Fjords! Freya is
gorgeous and smart and I laugh often at how she hides behind her forelock and
looks like she is planning a little mischief. She usually whinnies when we
drive up in the truck. Sony is gone at college right now, but she got to hear
Freya whinny on the cell phone the other night when I was talking with her.
Today, Freya was whinnying at the 10 year old son of the farrier who had
accompanied his dad -- she wanted him to come back across the pasture and pay
attention to her! She just likes kids, which I think is great.

HI from East
Texas,
Just thought I
would let you know that Hannah and Petri are
doing great. We finally got rid of all the
excess hair. Boy that was a job.
They are so
pretty. I think they are just a little
spoiled. Hanna has began to come to the back
gate at all times of the day calling.
They all know
that when we go out to take care of them
that a cookie is coming next.
Hanna just wants
more than the others I think.
They all get
their feet cleaned at least every other day
and Hanna and Petri seems to like all the
pampering.
When we brought
them home, they just fell in with my other
horses like they had always been here.
I did not know
how protective they were. We have a dog that
likes to run out into the middle of the
animals.
He has learned
not to get around the horses because Hanna
and Perti with my little paint mare will
chase him all the way back to the fence.
Go figure.
Well I should go
for now. I will send you pictures as soon as
I get some on the computer.
God Bless You,
Sammie and
Anthony Floyd

We are the proud and
happy owners of Kjor
Ole and Ashwood
Angar. We are
located in Indiana
and contacted Sally
and Bob Kjorsvig
about our needs. We
wanted two geldings
for
intermediate/beginner
riders. They
contacted us and
send us some
pictures of Ole and
Angar with their
training records. We
decided to fly to SD
and look at them. I
will never forget
this cold Saturday
when we met Sally
and Bob and the
horses. We tried the
horses and were stun
by the quality of
their training and
their tempered
behavior!. We were
very pleased by the
welcome and the
transactions with
Sally and Bob. Not
only, they provided
us with all records
(health, horse care,
training) of the
horses from their
birth, but also
contacted us when
the horse
transporter left the
farm.
Ole and Angar are
now grazing in
Indiana. We are
trail-riding them
and even driving
them (never done it
before!). They are
wonderful!.
We highly recommend
this breeder and if
you would like to
contact us or see
Ole and Angar,
please send an email
to Sally and we will
take time to answer
any questions you
may have.
Thank you very much

Though Tim had ridden a great deal as a young man, my husband was
shopping
for the very first horse to be his own. We knew he wanted something of
sturdy build, great temperament, around 15 hands and unique in appearance.
When we stumbled across some Fjords at the local horse expo, Tim was hooked
and the search was on. Tim found the Kjorsvig's website on the internet with
an ad for a gelding who was 3 yrs. and 15H. I thought to myself that MAYBE
he'd "end up" being 15H. Well, several video tapes later, a pre-purchase
exam, multiple phone visits with previous Kjorsvig customers, one long
trailer ride to nearly the Pacific ocean... and Dandy arrived in Oregon. I
had been told by Sally's other clients that whatever she told me about the
horse, it would be the truth. Dandy was everything she had said he would be,
including 15H on the money and he was only 3 1/2 yrs. old. Dandy is a hit
where ever he goes, he has his own fan club at the barn he lives at...if
he's not in his stall, the kids want to know where the horse with the
"Mohawk" is! He is also the official babysitter for our 17H "drama queen"
warmblood whenever we go trail riding, they are best of friends. He turned 5
this summer, and Oregon must agree with him as he is standing just under
15.3H! He's been a great addition to our family!

We bought 2 mares from Sally & Bob. Anja & Libby, in our eyes, they are the
most beautiful fjords and have the best temperment. The girls are easy to work
with and have a willing personality. Sally & Bob are great to work with and you
know there is always a warm cup of coffee waiting for you when you visit.

We have two Fjords from the Kjorsvig's Fjord Horse Farm. From the day
they are born they have the best of everything a horse can have. Lots of
grooming, medical care if needed, pampered, human time spent with them and lots
of TLC.
I'm proud to say my horses came from the Kjorsvig Fjord Horse Farm of Bob and

Hi! Here is a link to some photos of Brianna. They are not
very good because it was getting dark and it was hot that day
(in the low 90's). She is sweaty in the photos.
I will take some more in the daylight and with us on or standing
beside her.
I rode her yesterday for the first time. She did fine. We are
very happy with her!

I bought Olaf from Sally Kjorsvig on February 2005. He went to his brand
new home in Mazeppa Minnesota and settled in very well. He is everything
that Sally said that he would be - a nice, calm Norwegian Fjord Horse. We
do a lot of trail riding together and he is very safe and fun. I couldn't
be happier with Olaf.. Linda Barnhart

Sally,
I am sorry I
took so long to get these to you. We started a
new business and it has been very busy.
We love the
girls and they love us, especially the kids. Our
1 1/2 year old is not happy unless he gets to
see the girls every day.
Sincerely,
Newell and
Family

Sally, Just wanted to let you know how much we enjoy Amy and Tulla, they
are both doing great and a real pleasure to work with. We really enjoyed
our trip out to your farm and the drive out to South Dakota. We really
appreciate the hospitality and a chance to look at all your wonderful
antiques. Your horses are some of the best we have looked at and you are
some of the friendliest fjord folk too. We hope to visit you again
sometime. Thanks So Much, Theresa Slepicka Endeavor, Wisconsin
He sure is
good at opening gates! He even works on the door knob. Everything is Hagar
proofed. He is still a stallion, and is really no problem that way, but I like
him so much I am thinking about gelding him so I can use him on poker rides and
stuff. They don't allow stallions in group rides. At this point I do think he
got my mare bred last summer, as she has not come into heat yet this year. I
have had a saddle on him a couple times, but that is about it, but plan on
putting a few rides on him this year. I think he is still fairly young to ride
much, but he sure is good looki g and strong. Mary
Hello Sally,
I rode Klissen today for the first time. It's
been raining here, that's why it took so long. I went to the pasture, put a
bridle on her, climbed on a salt block and jumped on. And we rode off. I know
she had never been rode bareback but she didn't seem to mind. I even had a
different bit than you had used. I ride in a copper plated broken bit. She was a
doll.
I am very pleased with Klissen. I am glad I
decided to buy her from you. You were very helpful with this first time Fjord
buyer. She is everything you said she would be. I am planning on purchasing
another mare in a few years for my son and I will be contacting you again. Maybe
next time I can get you to part with one of your greys. Thanks and I will keep
in touch and update photos.
These photos were taken the next morning
after she arrived. I went out that night when I got off of work at midnight. I
climbed in the round pen with her and she walked up and let me rub all over her.
Like she had been there all her life. Thanks again and I'll talk to you soon.
Sincerely,
Sherry & Briar(son) Smith
He loves her, might have to buy another horse
sooner. I may have lost my riding mare to him. He's 2 almost 3. He walks out to
the fence she she leans over and he pets her nose. He was out tonight pulling
grass and feeding her over the fence. I'll send some photos of that later.
