Elsie Rose

aka "Princess Elsie"

She brings lineage from Grabb & multiples of Solvfast. Elsie has a beautifully refined head and the slightly drafty body type - truly a gorgeous combination.

We think of Elsie as an example of what a Fjord mare should be... She has wonderful zebra stripe markings on her legs as well as gorgeous ear tips. A lovely, compact head with well placed, dark eyes. She is known as PRINCESS Elsie around the farm. If you need a reminder, all you have to do is watch her move: she has such a way about her. Much like royalty. She doesn't even have to do anything, the other horses fall right into line. Elsie came to us at almost 9 years old & never had been ridden. Within 3 days of being here, we decided to try & put one of our sons on her. She sniffed around at his feet, and then walked around with him on her back. Nothing!

She's been working under saddle now and has been very easy to train.
2008: Elsie Rose has now had professional driving training with the noted Fjord evaluator and driving trainer, Brian Jensen, as well as basic dressage/riding principals with Julie Pilon. Elsie must have remembered little Evan, because within days of her arriving back home again, she gave him a formal ride with her and performed like a horse ridden all her life. 2007 Princess Elsie even proved herself as a nurse mare. There is nothing this one can't do!

Elsie Rose is due in April, 2009 with a foal by Fair Acres Ole. Contact us if you have interest in this spectacular, upcoming foal.
