I owned a Fjord before I had my Icelandics....I loved Jordan a lot...he was so beautiful. But his walk had a lot of circular motion and at the time I was recovering from a bad car accident so I sold him and continued to ride my appy, whose walk was divine. I also rode the walker at our barn every chance I could....she was 16-3 and had a thyroid issue, so she had a heavy coat, she wasn't a looker, but boy she could move out. We tried to buy her before we moved over here...the walker was 24 years old, ugly and ate a lot, but she would never be for sale... Skye [signature deleted]
