This message is from: Tamara Rousso <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To tell you the truth Fjords speak to my soul. I don't know what it is about them, but I love LOOKING at them. I told my friend that if I got one and it didn't turn out to be everything everyone says and it was just a lawn ornament I'd still be happy because I just LOVE to look at them. BUT then my pragmatic side says I should listen to my friend who wants to save less desirable horses and perhaps save some money too. I'm thinking I'm going to have me a Fjord someday ;o) .
