This message is from: Karin Bendel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hi Cheryl, I am not a fjord person, but have been a dressage warmblood and QH enthusiast for most of my riding life; however, after a car accident, my neck is not the same, so quiet, safe (level headed ) and with smooth gates, is a must. I am inquiring about these interesting looking horses ( fjords)...to see if they are good for riding for older and somewhat impaired riders ( meaning, I can't do a lot of up and down, impact motion such as a dressage sitting trot), but can walk, posting trot and canter although, the smoother gaited the horse, the better it is. If you can give me any help, I would appreciate it. Thanks, Karin

I don't know if I ever will drive, but appreciate the input. When I am up on my hilly property hand carrying dead branches and rocks...I think of how handy the fjord would be to help me haul stuff away and dream.....but like all other disciplines with horses it would be a new endeavor and not ready for that......yet! Maybe some day. Kim....your Sammy is a lucky horse. Putting him in training is a wonderful idea. What a love for horses you have! Not everyone would do that to insure a horse is sound and safer for next owner. I had a life changing wreck on a QH but like your Sammy good ground manners, but knew myself and the kids would never ride him and feel safe. Did the30 days training and eval, and found out he loved cows and came alive. Something from his past I didn't know, though should have guessed since was a ranch horse. Just didn't know how to mosey down a trail! He got the right owner (roper cowgirl) through the trainer (his ex girlfriend) for $1. I hope your fjord finds a forever home, and maybe the trainer can help. Cheryl in S. Cal Next-gen email? Have it all with the all-new Yahoo! Mail Beta.
