This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hello group. I have been reading the posting for the last couple of months trying to pick up pointers for my first Fjord. I purchased a 1 1/2 yr Fjord near Alexanderia Minn. in Sept. I am truly amazed at these animals. Some that I have met, have a personality like dog. I grew up w/ and showed Quarter Horses. Never did i ever own a animal w/ so much character. They are truly a lovely animal. I am looking into purchasing a harness. I am unsure if collar is better then breast? Any suggestions?? Looking to show at he local open shows. This is Quarter Horse Country here. There are some shows that state no draft horses, and I am curious if I was to drive in a collar harness if the Judge would reconiginze the breed, let alone not mistake my animal for a draft. Also, looking to purchase a Show Halter. Any suggestions there? I am looking at Circle Y or having one made to his measurements. However, I am afraid that upon maturing in age and growth that he may not fit??? Does anyone here show at Open shows?? If so, how do Jugdes respond to the breed. In which classess do you enter that are not breed specfic? I know I have asked alot of questions. But any help would be greatly appreciated. Linda Syverson-Kerr
