I wonder how Fjords react to predators? There are bobcats and coyotes
hunting
in the pastures where I board -- Brigid Wasson
I KNOW we must have had this discussion before but it intrigues me and maybe
there are new folks on the list that wonder about this... Fjords seem to be
fearless! We live in a large open mountain basin and our Fjords roam free on
this ranch. We once saw about eight of them aggressively chasing a very
large Moose right on through and out of sight ! Yet again we have seen them
comingle with wild Elk, Deer, and wild Turkeys?
I wish I had a video of the Moose chasing incident but I DO HAVE a video of
the Fjords idly watching a sow Black Bear and her cubs raid our apple
tree... all photographed IN THE SAME FRAME!! (maybe 30 feet apart) and the
Fjords nonchalantly walking toward the bear, who turned tail and ran! HAH
Fjords are perfect for mountain trail riding because they are fearless!
