This message is from: Gail Russell <g...@zeliga.com> I believe there are some lines of the sweet, draft Fjords that are "born to bolt." I have no idea why, but I think it may be true. I saw a video recently of a Fjord for sale. The horse had a look in his eye that led me to believe that he was a "born to bolt" Fjord. I looked at the pedigree, and it had the bloodlines that I suspected.
Not scientific, and I do not mean to malign Fjords....but I thought it might create an "interesting" conversation to state my hypothesis.

It's an individual thing. My old Nansy mare had a glass-smooth trot and a rocking-chair canter---lovely to ride. My husband's gelding, Rom, had a jack-hammer trot and a "can I bolt now" canter that we didn't use much. = Important FjordHorse List Links: Subscription Management: http://tinyurl.com/5msa7e FH-L Archives: http://tinyurl.com/rcepw Classified Ads: http://tinyurl.com/5b5g2f
