Welcome Linda! Funny, I recently had the opposite conclusion -- the mule is the only equine that can keep up with my Fjords :-). Several months ago I moved to a boarding facility owned by a "mule man" and had my first experience with the critters. They are smart, freakishly strong, great on the trail, and they get along with the Fjords! As far as getting your Fjord to canter, a nice long trail works for mine. Riding with other cantering horses helps, and if all else fails, ask for it on the way home :-). Yes, the Fjords can trot faster than other horses can canter. When mine offer this, I say, yes, that's nice, but I need something else. / )_~ /L/L Brigid Wasson SF Bay Area, CA www.eponahorsemanship.com The FjordHorse List archives can be found at: http://tinyurl.com/rcepw
