This message is from: "Werner, Kristine" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Hello everybody - I`m new now to the Fjord Mailing List as of today and thought I would introduce myself and my pony. My name is Kristine and I live near Frankfurt, Germany. My horse`s name is Kai, from Kvest Halsnaes. He just turned four in May. I have been riding him and having him ridden since November of last year. What a joy he is !! But I must admit, as willing and sweet-natured as he is under saddle and going for walks, he hates to be longed ! I wonder if any of you have experienced the bucking and kicking Fjord horse trying with all his might to get out of doing this exercise. Compared to Hannoveraners and so on Kai is a real terror on the longe. I am wondering whether he will ever get used to it. I suppose it is boring and he thinks it is senseless - but I am convinced of it`s virtues.
