About Greenfields NF Odin
Greenfields NF Odin out of Te Klein Gemma by Orkan Skovå (imported frozen semen) is a delightful young stallion who will be an asset to any serious purebred Fjord Horse breeding program. Odin has been an eye catcher from the day he was born and we felt so certain in his future as a contributor to the gene pool, that when he had an infection in his femur as a three month old we threw everything at him to see him through quite poor odds. To the surprise of the surgeon on his last follow up with him, the surgeon felt certain that he not only could be a serving stallion, but also return to full athletic performance once mature. 4 years down the track Odin is proving the surgeon right as he commences his ridden career.
Odin is expecting his first foal in mid October 2023 and we can’t wait to see what he produces. Until this season he’s been living a very happy playful life in the bachelor herd with our other junior stallion and any other geldings we have had at any given time. He very much holds his own, but is not aggressive or unduly pushy in the herd. With the mare, it took him a bit to fine tune his technique and we intend to run him with two mares this coming spring so he can perfect his technique. He was however respectful, but persistent and was courteous of the foal at foot. He lived with said mare and foal until we sent him off to be broken in in February.
Greenfields NF Odin is currently being broken in and progressing to schedule, Once broken in we hope to lightly campaign him so he has had some outings under saddle.
Odin has a strong athletic build and we believe he will grow a little more before he is fully mature. We would absolutely love to keep him for ourselves and are in no hurry to sell him, however he is too closely related to the majority of our up and coming breeding stock (their father and his mother are full siblings), so if we can find him a home that wishes to use him for both pure breeding and as a performance horse in any chosen discipline we will be happy to negotiate a suitable price. Odin will not be available to a home where the values and ethics honoured within Fjord Horse breeding isn’t understood and respected.
Please note, as we intend to use Odin this season we do not expect him to be available to any new home until early December. This will also allow for further development under saddle and an understanding of the offspring he produces so at this point we are only taking expressions of interest where we are happy to discuss approximate price range we’ll want to see for this once in a lifetime young stallion.

All horses are sold under contract developed by HorseForce. We urge you to request a copy of said contract as part of your due diligence.
We welcome vet checks on our horses, and are happy to assist in facilitating such checks. We would prefer vets selected for vet checks to be within an 80km radius of Upper Orara due to time allocation as most require us to travel the horse to them. Greenfield’s Stud has a pre-existing ongoing customer relationship with Pacific Vetcare and Equine Veterinary and Dental Services (EVDS).
