This message is from: John and Martie Bolinski <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> When I was first calling around about a Fjord to buy (before Kilar), most of the ones advertised locally (within 300 miles) were smaller. I was willing to take anything over 13.2 but needed something well trained and with lots of experience and most of them were either riding or driving but not both. At that time I thought that most Fjords were in the 13-13.3 range. Since getting Kilar, I have seen lots of bigger Fjords. He is a nice 14.0 barefoot. And I still use a mounting block around the barn because it is easier on both of us than having me tug at the saddle to get on. He was a little confused about it when I got him - would turn to face me whenever I stood on the block, but he caught on quick.
