I have a drafty Fjord who can carry weight, shys about once a year, will free lunge 5x around for 1 teddy graham, is the first horse on trail rides to go over the bridge, water, you name it. Once she went by a working well digger (up in the air, whump, crashing down, noisy, shiny, scary) only 20 ft away, and led 2 other horses by it, saving us a very long ride if we had had to go back the way we came (maybe she knew that!). And now I also have a 20 yr old gelding who rides and drives and seems steady as a rock (so far), a little more forward than the mare, but just walks if that's what I want. Yet none of my friends want Fjords. I don't understand it. We are all over 60 and value calm and quiet as the most valued traits, but they all look at me and say they are nice horses for ME but they want their Qhorses or Cleveland Bays or thoroughbreds or whatever they ride. Very odd.
