This message is from: "Linda Walker" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I agree with all of the postings thus far on buying a Fjord. There is no such thing as a "bombproof" horse, and we, as riders, should expect to get bumped and bruised from time to time. It does come with the territory!
When I do buy my Fjord gelding I will be taking lessons with an instructor. I am taking lessons already, I'm just using a schooling horse. My horse friends say that I'm not a bad rider, I just need to increase my confidence level. I do feel confident that when I start to spend more time in the saddle my nerves won't be on "high alert". I've been on spooking horses while under saddle and it does scare me. Luckily the horses that I've been on that have spooked have not run off. They've taken a few steps then stopped. Whew!!! I'm enjoying reading all of the members postings on buying a Fjord gelding. Keep em' coming!!!!! Thanks, Linda
