This message is from: Kari Ann Owen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Just a note... I am in the 200 lb range and have wonderful equitation training, have been evaluated by several instructors as having excellent balance and an excellent seat, and am looking forward to the Fjord in my future as my instructor will be purchasing one.
In fact, many of you have been terribly generous with your information and encouragement, and we are both terribly grateful and happily inspired by the beautiful pictures of the Fjords you have so kindly sent us. As for as largeness and movement... I have also had several years of modern dance training and have taught other large and handicapped persons, have performed at the Universoty of California, Berkeley and the Moscone Center in San Francisco, among other places, and have been inspired and blessed by the love of teachers in both the dance and horse worlds. Liability and rider safety are legitimate concerns. So are healing of the soul and body. One thing I have learned in my quest for physical and emotional strength and serenity is that there comes a point when we must decide for ourselves what path to walk (or ride), and to have faith that whatever others say, there will be teachers to lead us. Praising The Creator for the love in this world, Kari Ann -- Please access my web site at <http://pwp.value.net/penomee/penomee.html> for my artistic, academic and performing resumés, and... a great low-fat lasagna recipe!
