This message is from: Janet McNally <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> There have been a few references to Fjord gaits here recently, the inference being that Fjord's have rough gaits. I confess I have not ridden many Fjords, but those that I have ridden had very acceptable gaits (albeit the canter is not one of their favorite), and my mare has a slow jog that is much easier on my arthritic back than any of the 3 Tennessee Walking horses I have owned!
Also just want to point out that the nice slow walk that a Fjord can do, is very important to those of us who do farm work with a Fjord, and have to walk along beside over rough ground or through deep snow. You do not want a fast walking horse for this purpose. Janet W McNally
