This message is from: "Robert Morgan" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hi, I ran smack into a very negative opinion of Fjords about a year ago, a somewhat local trainer, was giving a clinic at our nearby arena. I watched her work and stayed for the discussions on harnessing and bits, etc. During the discussion she 'casually' mentioned that she trains most breeds, including mules, but draws the line on the Fjords, claims they are 'brain dead'. Said she hoped she didn't offend, I told her she ..... did and left. She is now advertising driving lessons in Lewistown, MT. Anyone wanting driving lessons and owns Fjords might as well skip her. I talked with someone who had just purchased her first Fjord and taken lessons there, she said it was quite a trial to try to focus on the driving part and let the snide remarks go by. I figure any time a 'trainer' runs down a breed then they really aren't a 'trainer', eh? In a side note, we had a heavy duty fifth wheel wagon for sale, they wanted to buy it, 'at a bargain price', nope, they didn't get it....
Bonnie who owns two very nice Fjord mares, over 14h, both ride and drive, and can out walk most other horses. in sunny Helena, every night about 20 degrees, inching towards 60 during the day. and the winter project of building a garage is marching on, should have roof on by end of the month if wind doesn't stop us. Husband still working day job, it's been a winter/week-end project.
