More specifically, do you think that Fjords (as a breed, not specific horses) ARE or ARE NOT suitable for children, novice horse people, as family companions, and for therapeutic riding programs? I think they are suitable for these groups, but only under supervised conditions. Many of the fjords I know are independent and intelligent enough to completely and successfully ignore an inexperienced rider. But their amazing temperament makes them ideal for working with children or novices, as long as someone with some experience is there to help with the training and corrections. I especially like them for therapeutic riding since there is almost always an assistant in those situations. By and large Fjords just seem to have such a calming and charming effect on people.
