Hello Mary - I am also a native Minnesotan - Minneapolis ! Live in Germany now and have 1 Fjord. Competed in the so-called "Material-Test" recently and Kai won 2 place out of 5 - between two stallions ! Was I proud of him. I had him ridden - but next year I plan to ride him myself and see what happens. Are there alot of Fjords in Minnesota ? I never saw a Fjord until I came to Europe and then just two years ago - and I knew right away that that was the horse for me. Well, take care.
