I'm working with Chris Lombard training my Andy...Andy too is Very powerful which I've noticed more than a few times...One time I was lunging him and I was actually afraid of him bowling me over...He did come very close, but I purchased a longer lunge line and that stopped that....I've too wondered what I would do if Andy ever took off on me..I'm not an experienced rider but I feel if I don't trust my horse why have him at all? He's much too young to be a window horse..He's only 9...now I have purchased his brother...Joseph who is only 3! I can't wait to start working with him in the spring! Both love human contact and like to tag along with me whenever I'm out in the riding ring with them.... ________________________________ From: "jern...@mosquitonet.com" <jern...@mosquitonet.com> To: fjordhorse@angus.mystery.com Sent: Sunday, January 29, 2012 1:00 PM Subject: Re: fjords vs others This message is from: jern...@mosquitonet.com The gal who trained Bjorken and Adel trained big warmbloods and thoroughbreds for dressage. She was really scared of the power my Fjords had, said she could easily muscle the other horses she trained, but was scared of the powerful neck and all over power of the fjords should they decide to take off on her!
