My Partners

My partners have four legs and are fuzzy in the winter. They are my fjord horses. Tora, Alf and Freya have been with me on the farm for a long time. I have had Tora for 16 years and she is 21 years old. Always my steady friend, I don't know what I would do without her. Her son Alf is 15 years old. Right now he is retired from work because of a shoulder injury. Freya is Alf's daughter and Tora's granddaughter and she is a young 8 years old. Working horses is a wonderful, sometimes frustrating partnership. They do a better job the more you work them especially if its regular work. I use the horses to cultivate the fields and on the grain drill. I thank these wonderful old friends for all the work and patience. Pictures by my neighbor and farm helper, Macey Bundt.
