This is true. When we bought our first fjord mare, she had already been to an evaluation. :) Did rather well, but she was evaluated at 3. And she was knocked down in a few areas because of her immaturity. I have a copy of the notes taken that mention that with age she should show her wonderful potential. Now that she's older, I will be taking her to another evaluation in the next couple of years. :) Pamela
