This message is from: "Fleharty, Dean" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Thank you Gene--I'm so glad you posted this. I totally love my Fjords as well--they are always there willing to serve--that's why I bought them. I've asked on a couple of occasions if you can get diseases from baby horse kisses. They see me and they all come to me. I sit on the ground and my babies nuzzle and play with me. I never have to chase any of them. They trust me to help when they are sick or hurt. We have a mutual admiration society--if they aren't always spiffed and shined that's okay--neither am I. We do get cleaned up occasionally and get everyone's admiration. And, I usually spend far more time on them than I do on myself--they are the beauties--not me, but if their manes aren't perfect, that's okay. And, it's great to see them just running in the pasture--hair ruffled, heads held high and not have to worry if their manes look just right.
To me it's far more important that Fjords have those good qualities and abilities than what the humans have to wear to show them. The real question I have is why did any of us buy them--because their owner looked good or because of the Fjord personalities? My Fjords impress everyone--not because of how they look, but because of how they act. Even my veterinary is my best salesman.
