That is VERY FUNNY! Gene saw the barrel racing event at Libby and was not impressed-- says he could do it faster by himself (umm humm =)). Let's face it.. every once in a while one Fjord can excell in this but they are the exception to the rule. But, in defense of the Fjord, no other horse can compete with what Fjords do best! ...and that includes just about everything, except racing barrels. Remember, I said that there are exceptions =))) Ruthie, nw mt > Our kids used to be active in Gymkhana events including barrel racing. My > son was skilled enough to compete with the adults.
