This message is from: Jean Ernest <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hi Tammy,
My big (15-2hh) gelding didn't finish growing until he was 7 or later. He has a pretty big head, but it is sized for his body. At one period in his life his head suddenly grew and looked much too large for his body and I was worried that I was going to have this funny looking bigheaded Fjord! He takes an x-large halter, and Oversize (warmblood) bridle, except that the cheekpieces in the oversize are almost too long. He needs a bigger browband and longer throatlatch, mainly. I think that geldings may mature more slowly than mares. But don't be suprized if they both keep growing till they are 7 or even 8! Jean in Fairbanks, Alaska, where it rains, snows, mixed rain/snow and fog. Yuucky weather, driving is hazardous! >When I first worked with them, of course the gelding had the >smaller head. Now I am having difficulty finding a halter big >enough for Odin. At what age do Fjords usually mature? ************************************************************ Jean Ernest Fairbanks, Alaska mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
