Wow, Brigid. I had not thought about this in the way you described. It hit me because a good part of my identity for a couple of years while I searched for a Fjord was being a Fjord person. But people couldn't see that. I didn't have a horse or Fjord-embossed clothing. They treated me simply as a groupie (I tell a story about this in Riding Horseback in Purple, which still sticks in my mind). I have often imagined what it would be like if my mare died (she hopefully still has a couple of decades but I feel I need that long to prepare). Glad you posted and yes, this is a wonderful community where people have helped me learn so much. I spend more time on facebook now as there is more activity there, and I continue to be amazed by how small the international Fjord community is. If it is of any help, you are absolutely a Fjord Girl to me and probably thousands of others.

The "Fjord Girl" now has no Fjord. Important FjordHorse List Links: Subscription Management: http://tinyurl.com/5msa7e FH-L Archives: http://tinyurl.com/rcepw FH_L Shirts: http://tinyurl.com/8yky94l
