After a lifetime with horses and our intense involvement with the Norwegian Fjord horse, we believe it is our responsibility as stallion owners to produce offspring of high quality that conform to the Fjord breed standard.

We believe our stallion Wood's Sven can help us keep that promise. My husband and I purchased "Woods" for ourselves because we saw the true temperament of the Fjord horse in him.

Woods has a beautiful head, an intelligent eye, a well attached neck, clean legs, strong build, and excellent movement.

The most impressive characteristic, however, is his mind. He is uniquely calm, willing and honest. We are proud to call this Fjord stallion ours.

We will offer him for breeding and will continue to promote him and his offspring.

Conformation

Wood's has received an overall score of 79 in conformation, with the following individual scores:

Wood's Sven was sired by Coleman's Jorge C-1217 out of Johnstone's Princess C-863 (Finnmark C-510).

Born in 2001, Woods is a dark-brown dun, 14-1 hands high. View NFHR pedigree.

Woods earned his Silver Medallion Of Quality at the NFHR 25th Anniversary Show.

In performance evaluations, Woods earned a score of 84 in introductory draft and an 72 in introductory driving.

During these evaluations, Evaluator Karen Maas gave Woods a high mark of "10" for his behavior and praised him in her comments as an "honest horse."

These high scores were achieved after we had owned and trained him for a mere three months. Woods had been left nearly untouched in a broodmare pasture for the previous three years with no training.

We are very proud of these scores. They tell us much about his honest nature and his willingness to work and try.

In the near future, we will have Woods evaluated for advanced draft and riding.
