The reason I say to ride at the walk is that the motion of the horse 
at a good  walk will move your body like the you would walk yourself, 
feel the motion and sit properly (not a chair seat) and let your body 
follow the motion.  Riding in big circles up and down gentle slope 
forces you body to balance and strengthen the core.  All explained in 
Wendy Murdoch's books and articles and show on her DVD's.  That is 
why therapeutic  riding or "hippo-therapy" works so well to 
rehabilitate people and helps kids with cerebral palsy.  You should 
rid in a saddle that doesn't "lock" you in place, however.


I agree about having the passion for horses.  I just love watching 
them and working with them from the ground, also.

JLove the mention of riding at the walk, Jean E.good to 
know.  My 24 year old QH was my loping horsehe rocks like a 
rocking chairbut, diagnosed with a pretty serious heart murmur 
so vet cautioned us to be mindful when riding him.  Wa!!


Anyway, I feel like I am dripping in diamonds with my beloved equine 
friends.  So many of my friends have no passion - and envy me and my 
love of horses.


I think I was born loving horses..do you think it is true that we are???

Well, this is not going to be very popular but whoever
bred him probably knows who he is and should take him
back. I would take him if we weren't restricted to
three horses by our property zoning.

Thanks Carol, the reason I finally quit was the effort to get the replaced 
hip over my horses back.  I could hear a few snickers and there was pain.. 
Plus I could enjoy my horses from the ground also.  Quite a loss to slowly 
bury them but the old Gunnar will outlast me.  I have friends who would love 
to have him so he is taken care of when I move.  Jean

Jean Gayle.I hope I can say the same one day.  I have a 6 year old 
fjordHasse.who is my darling.  My goal is to grow "old" with him and 
either ride or drive him as long as I can hold the reins, get my butt in the 
cart or saddle and say "WHOA"!!  HAHA!

I don't buy young horses anymore.  I'll leave that to my daughters.  The oldie 
but goodies are such good friends and great with my many visitors.  Hasse is 
coming along nicely, has a good solid head/brain, and best of all, he loves me 
- would hang out in my pocket if he could - haha!

Horseback riding is one of the best exercises for your body, 
flexibility, core strength, and balance. etc.  Riding at a good walk 
does the most, ride up and down moderate slopes and do big circles on 
the slopes.  You will get many benefits for your body balance and 
core strength by just riding at a walk.  Check out  Wendy Murdoch, 
and her DVD's/books, etc at http://www.murdochmethod.com  She is

HmmThere are no five year old "harrison's" registered.  The closest is a
Boe Fjords horse born in 1999.  The MVF Harrison Fjord should be ten years
old.

There is an MVF Harrison Fjord bred by Phil Prichard.  His owner is listed
as being Nancy Manire, of Memphis TN.

I don't think this is the same Harrison Fjord talked about on the 
list previously, as the other Harrison Fjord (  Anvil's Harrison) is 
a red dun, had not lost an eye at that time, and I think is still 
around, owned by Tamara Rousso in Oregon?

This horse has good blood lines.  He was bred by Phil Prichard.  His dam is
Karina, sire is Ramstad.  He is probably fairly tall, and should have a
fairly nice head and good bone.

The horse is located in Southern Utah.

I googled "training one eyed horse" and found information about a one eyed
horse that is a good eventer.

If I needed another horse, I would rescue him.

I believe there are ways to get rescue horses transported fairly
economically.

Jean you are my inspiration!  "quit riding at 76"!  Way to go! I have 
just started riding at age 69 and sometimes wonder WHAT ON EARTH WAS 
I THINKING! My mare has been in training since October and I started 
riding her last month - at the trainers - in the arena. We go slow 
and careful. Riding is much more difficult now than when I was a kid, 
that's for sure. My goal is to be able to do a controlled sitting 
trot for one whole circle around the arena. Balance and flexibility 
aren't what they used to be. Hang in there!
