I have a friend who takes lessons at my barn on one of my Friesian geldings.
Today, as she was getting ready to tack him up, she noticed a shoe "hanging
by a nail". "No problem", I said. "You can take your lesson on my new boy,
Asti".
She hemmed and hawwed, and finally agreed.
Five minutes on his back, and she was grinning, saying "wow, he's nice!'
After working on him over cavaletties and doing a bunch of transitions, she
shouted, "I'm in Love!"
We rode on the trail afterwards, and she was like a teenage girl with a new
boyfriend, couldn't stop talking about how great he was...
I think you all you need in order to fall in love with Fjords is to
experience one...
"Have you ridden a Fjord (pause pause pause) lately?!"

It's the big doe eyes for me!! I boarded my first horse at a barn that
had a cute little fjord named Hummer. I was walking up the aisle to put
my tack in my new locker and stopped dead in my tracks when I saw that
crazy looking mane and big doe eyes staring back at me. WHAT IS THAT? (I
had never seen such a creature!!) : ) I later met his owner and watched
in awe as he let her tool around bareback in just a halter. He was just
as happy to be tacked up or driven. I can honestly say he seemed to be
the happiest guy in the barn. He had a look about him, like he knew
exactly what she needed and it was obvious they had a very special
relationship. He was the kind of horse that the more you were around him
the more you loved him and realized what a unique individual he was. I
knew that this is exactly the kind of horse (size, temperament, looks)
that I would some day want for my family and now we're working on making
it a dream come true. I have now owned horses for 9
years and have been exposed to MANY breeds and have yet to meet one that
offers the "total package" the way Fjords do!!

These last few e-mails about losing horses is so sad. How about a little
pick me up and hearing how everyone fell in love with the fjord breed?
I fell in love with the breed when we bought Opal from Michelle Noonan.
She
is such a kind mare, and even though she's had rough times in her past she
is
very trusting and loving. About a month after we bought her, we took her
on
a trail ride for Saint Jude's. Amongst all the quarter horses and paints,
she was a huge hit! I can't say what it was about her that made me fall in
love with the breed, but she is a special mare and will out her life here!
