Fjords & Farmacy 🐓🍄‍🟫🍅🐴 PVF is a small scale Norwegian Fjord Horse Breeding farm in SW Missouri. We would love to partner with local restaurants/bakers!

Here at PVF our goal is to produce family oriented Norwegian Fjord Horses with good minds. We are starting slow with plans to grow our herd as we find horses that will be a good fit for our program. Aside from horses, we are also selling fresh produce from our raised bed garden. In the near future we will have farm fresh eggs available as well! Please don't hesitate to reach out. We appreciate your support!

Late post from a few weeks ago.
Took Gio, Elsa and Dailia out on a group trail ride. My sister rode Gio, I rode Elsa and my friend rode Dailia. My mom rode my friend’s amazing gelding ba****ck! 🤭

It was the perfect weather for a girls day!

12/07/2024

Can’t beat this weather in December!
Hit the trail today a new saddle and a side pull with a friend and her 3 year old gelding. The boys were fabulous!

Saddle fitting fjords (especially when you have different body shapes and multiple horses) is so tricky! Short backs, some round, some not so round 😵‍💫 I tried a Leon Liversage long Kentucky for a month and ultimately decided I wasn’t happy with the quality and fit. Today I was given a Bob Marshall round skirt barrel saddle to try and fell in love! I love the deep seat and weight of this Bob so I’m happy it worked out. I think it looks great on Big Red too and he seemed super happy in it! 😉

I still use my Wintec saddles regularly for a treed option. They work really well and adjust so easy.

Bob (teal) and Walter (blue) got their teeth floated today. They likely had never had their teeth done before 😔 Their hooks and points were so bad. Walter still had 2 wolf teeth that got removed today, and Bob had what appeared to be a fragment of a wolf tooth which was also removed. Both boys did well. Walter was aged at 15 and Bob was aged at 13, so right on point with the age of “mid-teens” we were told.

Thank you Destiny @ Diamond D Equine Dentistry & PEMF Therapy for coming out and taking care of the boys on this chilly afternoon.

Some photos of Bob and Walter driving in the past.

These boys are looking for a loving home together. Please submit an adoption application to the NFHRN if you are interested.

Bob & Walter
They were wormed the other day. Will get their feet done Tuesday, and teeth done the first week of December. UTD on vaccines and coggins.
These 2 are sweet and gentle but don’t love being caught. Once haltered, they are totally fine on the ground.

Moved some ponies around today. Max is with Galant and they are both so happy. The girls are with Gio and he’s getting bossed around. He’s just the best 😂

Everyone welcome Bob & Walter, our new fosters. They are said to be mid-teens and a driving pair of geldings.

We picked them up yesterday afternoon and they’ve been settling in well. They will eventually be up for adoption through the Norwegian Fjord Horse Rescue Network.

The mommas were thrilled to work today 😂

Elsa thought about acting up but then decided it was too much effort and gave me a really nice ride! Dailia is just along for the ride, literally 🙃

11/12/2024

We both got a workout today during our lesson 😅

The best ❤️

Mane hacks and clipping today. All 8 horses done this AM.
Poor Gio got a strip clip attempt 😂 he fell asleep like a good boy. His belly, chest, neck and throat latch area got clipped. Hopefully it’ll keep him cooler for our rides and lessons.

11/05/2024

Over 4” in 48hrs. We needed it so bad!

Gio got pulled out of the pasture this morning for a lesson and he was such a good boy 🥰

10/30/2024

Gio and Max have shared a fence line for the last 2 days. We had some squeals and paws but no ear pinning or charging so I introduced them officially. They are in the pasture beside Elsa and Dailia, both girls want nothing to do with them.

Having a stallion can be tricky but I’m so thankful Gio is very easy to adapt and loves having friends.

10/29/2024

80 degrees and 20-35mph winds, but Gio was such a solid guy. Even with lots of horses on the trail and a new gelding to ride along with. 👍🏼

10/27/2024

Too many favorites! Gio is so handsome and such a perfect match of a horse for me ❤️ I love him so much.

Huge thanks to Suzy with Unbranded Photography for taking these for me at the last minute and doing such an awesome job capturing my boy!

10/23/2024

We had our first lesson today! Gio did fantastic, and I am so happy with him. We even popped over a few jumps. 🤩 No, it probably wasn’t the prettiest but he’s such a confidence booster for me.

Egg stand update:
The hens have been molting so if you’ve tried to snag some eggs and we seem to always be sold out… that’s why 😭

Between the heat this summer and now going straight into their molt, it has been a rough year for eggs. We have 11 pullets that should start laying within the next month for the first time.

Nice morning ride today 😌 We need rain so bad. The grass just crunches with every step.

I think I found the spot 😆
