I agree wholeheartedly. I find it interesting that folks who come to me to purchase a QH or a TB or a Warmblood just assume that they'll have to either spend time training the horse, or pay for someone capable of doing it for them. Certainly the sooner the better! So what is it about Fjords? Is it their size (generally speaking) or simply because they're so darned friendly and cute? Love that mantra, Karen.
