1dr Acres Farm

Drifa was born in our herd on June 21, 2022. She is a drafty white dun that carries red (AA Ee NCr DD). Although Drifa is still growing, she should mature to 14.2 hands and have 8-8.25″ cannon bones.

Her sire is our white dun stallion Kjor Hunter. His dam was imported from Germany and his sire was imported from Norway. Hunter measures just under 14.2 hands and has 9.25″ cannon bone circumference (heavy boned). The heaviest boned registered Fjord stallion I know of was our past stallion Elko, with 9.8″ cannons.

Drifa’s dam is our drafty 14.2 hand mare, Double C Lucy. She has 8.27″ cannon bone circumference. Fjord evaluator Pat Wolfe stated that mares in the breed should have at least 8″ cannons to be considered as having the desired ‘substantial’ bone.

Drifa, Fall 2025

A fawn was born in our pasture during the summer of 2024. It was too small to jump out of our woven wire perimeter fence, so it joined the mare herd when its mom was off feeding in the surrounding woods. Drifa really liked hanging around with the fawn.

Drifa was trained to drive in April of 2025. Video of her driving is at this link. She is being trained to ride in February of 2026.

Drifa is sociable with people and is great with other horses, goats, sheep, dogs, chickens. She has good basic handling skills and trailers well.

I’ve really liked the draftiness of this line of Fjord, so we have a lot of them in our herd and I’ve known personally 6 generations.

I met Drifa’s great great grandfather, Fair Acres Garth, a stallion that was structured much like Ragnvald, and from the same breeding program as our past stallion Fair Acres Ole. I owned Garth’s daughter, Ashwood Alma, who served as a therapy horse at the end of her breeding career. Alma’s daughter Vilde is now a therapy horse at the same program in Baraboo, WI. Sejline and Nora are two of our current broodmares. We also have Drifa’s dam Lucy and her aunt Greta, plus cousins Sunnev and Siggi. We have Drifa’s half sister Raisa, and her daughters Viska and Vindkast.
