<< Andy's also have this lovely temperament, which sounds very similar to the Fjord, also they are a strong horse, but can be kind and gentle, and love people. But you have to work with them, and teach them to respect you thru kindness and firmness......so am I learning about a breed that is a small version of another breed that I admire, when though they have evolved quite differently? >> Way different breed, but one I admire immensely. I think they're a little more "hot" than a fjord, but still have a wonderful temperment. A friend of mine owns a beautiful great tempered Andalusian stallion. She puts her handicapped nephew on him and he's an angel. He drives well and is a great riding horse. All his babies are calm and nicely conformed. They are good horses. I almost bought one before I bought my fjords. BUT.... I chose fjords for a couple reasons 1) I like being a bit closer to the ground 2) I like the temperment just a little bit better than the Andys. Andys are gentle and sweet, but the fjords I've met have all been a bit more laid back. Good luck and happy horse hunting! Pamela
