This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <<I've gotten pretty attached to him, "spunk" and all.>> Welcome to Fjords! I fell in love with Percherons, but they were too big, so I went looking for a draft that wasn't so far to fall off of and ended up with Fjords! This poor list has had a few years now of my little Joe stories, but they are much the same as yours. Brought Joe home without knowing he had been through 4 owners in 6 years. Stubborn, headstrong, and can be quite challenging when he does not call the shots. Unbelievably personable and adorable on the ground and when he agrees with the program. He has become much better since getting to know us, and I would hesitate to send him away for training. I try hard to get trainers who will come to us. After the first year, we saw a marked change in him as he became more trusting that he wasn't going anywhere. He would benefit from a regular job, but we do our best. He's tossed me, and my daughter - but only once out of sheer pissiness, and he gave me plenty of warning. He doesn't like to canter, and will let you know about it. But if you can win the argument the first time, he's a joy for the rest of the ride. Good luck with Trygg - I hope you come to love him the way I adore my Joe! Kate with Joe (basically, the best pony ever) and Della (who is recently proving that she can have a little attitude too)
