Our stallion, Woodland's Jovan, is
a grandson of the famous Norwegian Fjord stallion Pluto, who was the trotting
race champion in Norway several years in a row. There are only three stallions
out of this great Norwegian bloodline in North America. Anvil's Pluto belongs
to Gene Crandall of Woodland's West. This fabulous horse sired both Jovan
and the champion Gold Medallion winner, Woodland's Dustin (owned by Gayle
Ware), who has had a great showing in both the Norwegian Fjord horse world
and in open cutting and reining events. Jovan has the superb athletic ability
exhibited by his line and has demonstrated that he can pass on this athletic
prowess to his foals. His impulsion, remarkable extension, and
quick, fluid movement make him a joy to ride. As an added bonus, Jovan
has 'look of eagles' and an energetic yet friendly, laid back disposition
that is also passed on to his get. Jovan is 14.1 hands, dark gold with
black stockings and striking leg stripes.
Jovan is a spirited but well mannered
partner with us and his herd. He knows who he is and what it's all about,
but doesn't use this as an excuse for ill behavior. Since we pasture breed,
Jovan must respect his mares in order to breed with them. He must court
them and win them each time. He also always takes 'time out' to dote on
his foals. Outside of his breeding responsibilities, Jovan is an excellent
riding horse and enjoys the mental and athletic challenges presented to
him with Natural Horsemanship training. He strives
for acheivement in everything he does.
The fact that Woodland's Jovan consistantly
passes on his great disposition and super athletic ability is a fundamental
consideration for anyone purchasing a Shota Fjord foal, as it provides
a perfect foundation for a safe and successful partnership with your horse.
