This message is from: Nancy Newport <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Vivian we are so proud of you! And I know how hard you have worked. Is there anyone on this list who could help you get a corporate sponsorship? We look forward to seeing you at Black Prong.
I like the "pony mind set" as I think my Fjords think a little longer before the fright and flight instinct sets in. This particularly helps in combined driving when i ask them to go somewhere new (hazard, etc.)They listen to me and then go rather than get upset about flapping flags, or whatever. I also think it helps in situations where they may be stuck in a fence, etc. They will wait rather than flail around. I've had my mares get stubborn, but when we work through that particular occassion, it never happens again. We just competed at the Canterbury Driving Trial in Gainesville, FL and won first place in pony training pairs (we were the only ones in the class, but we didn't eliminate!). Also had some nice comments from David Wharton, the judge, who doesn't "hate" Fjords, in fact he's friends with the Unraus and told a story at dinner about the Unraus taking some green horses out of the field to be able to participate in an event and doing very well!
