Cindy, My first breed involvement was Andies, too! You are so very, VERY right. I still have the boy I bought in utero, but he's with a professional trainer, and I will never be his full-time rider. He is the best boy in the world, loves to work, but so sensitive and reactive... not the best for someone who has very little confidence in the saddle. Trainer is thrilled spitless as she says that if I were so inclined, he could compete at the FEI level. You go, girl. lol! I just wanted a good partner in the arena and to go do parades. Yeah Fjords! Ironically enough, I've actually come off my new Fjord (sprained my wrist in the process). I know what I did wrong, and it wasn't her fault, but boy are Fjords different from Morgans and Andalusians. I have to remember that young-with-training, is still *young*. And that stoic does NOT equal accepting. Thankfully, she's a good girl and not too tall. We'll start over, and I'll begin as I did with my pony mules: Little bits at a time, with plenty of time for relationship building and thinking. -Julia Ares, Eva and Isabella PS: Love your videos. Yep. I'm a fan-girl. ;-) "The world is a dangerous place, not because of those who do evil, but because of those who look on and do nothing." Albert Einstein > Before I got my Fjord, I was into Andalusians. Boy, nowhere does more > mythology abound than in that breed! "Andalusians are so gentle that they > can all be left stallions. They're so intelligent. So noble. So kind. > So willing. They are born balanced on their hindquarters and can do high > school work right from the start..." It just goes on and on. > > Trust me, it isn't true.
