Hello everybody - I`m new now to the Fjord Mailing List as of today and
thought I would introduce myself and
my pony.
My name is Kristine and I live near Frankfurt, Germany. My horse`s name
is Kai, from Kvest Halsnaes. He just turned four in May. I have been
riding him and having him ridden since November of last year. What a joy
he is !! But I must admit,
as willing and sweet-natured as he is under saddle and going for walks,
he hates to be longed ! I wonder if any of you
have experienced the bucking and kicking Fjord horse trying with all his
might to get out of doing this exercise. Compared to Hannoveraners and
so on Kai is a real terror on the longe. I am wondering whether he will
ever get used to it. I suppose it is boring and he thinks it is
senseless - but I am convinced of it`s virtues. What do you think ?

fjordhorse is an open forum dedicated to the discussion of all
subjects relating to the Norwegian Fjord horse. The primary subject
of the list is the Fjord horse, but the list is open to the discussion
of any related equine issue.
Typical subjects may include selection, breeding, care, training, and
use of Fjord horses. Postings of competitions and clinics, and for
sale ads relating to horses and equipment are welcome. Non-related
commercial ads, chain letters and flaming will not be tolerated.
Personal experiences, discussions of training techniques, good advice
and pleasant conversation are always welcome here. View the list as
an opportunity to sit around the kitchen table with friends and
discuss Fjord horses over a pot of good coffee.
Remember that people do take comments personally--that's what makes it
so fun to be with them. Before posting an angry response, sleep on
it. Go ahead and write it up before you forget what you want to say,
but don't hit the send button until the next day. Then reread what
you have written as if it were directed toward you. If you wouldn't
be hurt go ahead and send it. Otherwise you might want to reword your
message. Discussion and disagreement are accepted on this list,
derision is not.
Even if you intend to mostly lurk on this list, please introduce
yourself when you first subscribe. It's fun for everyone to know
everyone else on the list. Tell the rest of us about yourself and
your horses. Where do you live? How many horses do you have? What
activities do you enjoy with your horse? And whatever else you think
the folks sitting around the virtual kitchen table would like to know.
Saskia Schoofs from Belgium already has a Web site up and running to
compile a who is who from these introductions. You can view it at:
