Driving Emergency Stop?
This message is from: "Lisa Schieler" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> When riding I know you can turn the horse's head to your knee and make an emergency stop. Is there anything like that utilized while driving? What do you do if your horse starts to run and does not respond to the bit? Lisa Schieler in Tremont, IL Spring is finally here!!!
Re: non-Fjord fans!

I personally had an experience with a Fjord that bolted while hitched up to the cart. She ran into my husband's truck and did not stop running until she found her way back to the pasture and fortunately a fence. She scared the life out of me! Needless to say, I haven't used the cart since. I think all horses are prone to such behaviors. Lisa in Illinois with ice storms, yuck!
Re: non-Fjord fans!
This message is from: "Lisa Schieler" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I also would like to add that that is not the only incident I had with this particular horse. During training, she spooked quite a few times while skidding logs and almost ran me over with the log. She also rah with the cart with the trainer driving her and wrapped the cart around a tree. My experience with Fjords has not been the most beneficial so far. I like horses in general and I think that they are all different just like people. There are always going to be few that are temperamental. But I don't think that is correct to use a blanket staement about a breed in general. All breeds have their good and bad points. If that makes me a non-Fjord fan then so be it. Lisa again

RE: (no subject)
This message is from: "Lisa Schieler" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> < In addition, there are so few fjords in the U.S., why not put out more REAL fjords? I owned 2 Fjords until recently and I was inundated with criticism about the Fjord breed. I understand that in certain areas there is a need for driving horses but in central Illinois trail riding and rodeo are the most popular. Driving horses are rarely seen. If there are crossbreeds out there, why not give them good homes and utilize them instead of cross them off completely. I feel that all horses can be useful if they are cared for correctly and used according to what their strengths are. Just because a horse cannot be registered does not mean that it is useless.

This message is from: "Lisa Schieler" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I know my 10 yr old and my 15 yr old would be interested in an association for kids. My 10 yr old has actively participated in caring for and training the Fjords. Other than in 4-H, he has no place to show. Most people around here don't evn recognize the beed. I think it would be a great way to promote Fjords. Lisa Schieler 60's and springlike, finally!!!

Re: teaching an older horse to drive
This message is from: "Lisa Schieler" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I bought two mares late last year...one 4 yr old and i 14 yr old. They went through 30 days of drive training and when I brought them home I had a similar experience. I hitched them both up abd when I started them forward, they started running and hit my husband's truck. Thank God he is very understanding! For some reason the older one was spooky and would not respond at all. They eventually ran into the fence in pasture and stopped. The experience has left me leary of getting into the cart again. Since then, the two mares are not getting along. I am selling her to Deb Williams if she agrees. I do not think that older mares are very trainable. She was only a broodmare for all these years and never used for any type of work. I am thinking of trying to ride her and see what she will do. If it does not work out, I will probably just breed her again a couple of times and train the babies for myself. Senja, the younger one, I am hoping will be a good worker with Deb. I wish that I had more room to keep her but I only have 3 acres to keep horses on (my boys need the other 2 for baseball, football, paintball, the 4-wheeler, etc.). At least she will have more room to run!

She loves to skid logs! I think she would make a great working horse. She has never been bred to my knowledge, but I believe she would make a good broodmare. Would be better with an experienced handler. She and my 14 year old mare do not get along and I must separate them. She is very friendly. I would prefer to put her into a working environment where her skills would be put to good use. > > > > Joe Glick > Glick Family Farm > [EMAIL PROTECTED]
