Hello Group; I purchased a Fjord, my first in Sept. 2000. His name is Spruce Hill Markus, it was a 6 hr drive one way to go get him.But he was /is worth every mile. May I just say I don't know what took so long to but one. He is a wonderful almost 2 yr old, light dun in color, with a personality that does not quit. I am currently having him trained for cart class for the local shows and maybe venture out from there. I live in Quarter Horse country. Most shows here are made of Quarter or Paint Horses. I am not the only one in the area with Fjords, but nobody else shows at open, some do at Blue Earth. Heres a couple questions if someone could take the time to respond I would be ever so thankful. Is there a set of rules in a handbook that I could obtain to inform or have incase the local show Judges dont quite know how to Judge a Fjord, ie. clipping, what should be clipped for show and what not I saw at Blue Earth some clipped for show ears, feathers, cornet band, eyes and some not, proper stance, etc.. How do other Fjord owners who show at local shows deal w/ Judges, have there been problems? Is there something I can do to stop mine from "going to town " w/ his mouth, he likes to wrap his lips around clothes, hair, body parts, his lead line. This is most annoying. Are there better products to use to help maintain a healthy show coat (aside from elbow grease), supplements I should feed, keep indoors during the summer days and out at night?? Last but not least. How about western saddles that fit, kind, tree size etc...???? I know these are alot of questions but show season is coming fast. Any help at all would be welcomed. Thank you for your time Linda Syverson-Kerr Holmen, WI 54636
