This message is from: Gail Russell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Welcome, I bought an 8 year old Fjord who was reasonably well trained, but saw a patsy coming when he got here.

Welcome to the list Ann & Mark! > ... He is sweet but bossy and hadn't been worked with a lot. Sweet but bossy, eh? Gee, I don't know any Fjords like that :-) Something I found about pushy Fjords, and I have one of my own, is that you need to be very sure in your own mind of what is and isn't acceptable behaviour. And then do whatever it takes to stop the unacceptable. In my experience you need to be very firm in enforcing the rules, and then it'll click in the horses mind. They are super intelligent and so seem to reason "hey why *shouldn't* I walk over this puny 100 pound human who is in my way?". Once they learn that you won't stand for stuff like that, things are good. Well I hope that helps at least a little bit. It'll probably take you longer with a 9 year old, I started with a pushy yearling (who if I can sneak in a little brag to the list, was hitched to a cart last week (she's two years old now) and is driving like she's been doing this all her life)) Lori

We are new with horses and got a 9 yo fjord gelding last year. He is sweet but bossy and hadn't been worked with a lot. A bad start for two novices, but so be it.

We are also looking for a second horse, this one to be well trained, a good role model and even teacher for the humans to some degree! If we can afford to, we'd love that one to be a fjord also.

For all those interested, pony club is a nice way to introduce the young rider. You don't need a fancy horse, or expencive stuff, just safe tack and a pony. there are lots of different things to participate in, and a wide variety of events. For example, if I had been a year older, I could have gone to south africa this year, to compete on borrowed horses/ponies in their huge show. It ranges in difficulty from those who have never ridden before, to those who move on to national and international events.

This message is from: "Susanne Grönqvist" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hi Ingrid ! I wrote that Håkon N 302 was a line of Njaal N 166, but he isn´t. He comes directly from Gange Rolv I N 42. ( N = Norwegian studbook ) And, yes, I know that Enok N 1610 is exported to Sweden. He has 7 approved sons, 4 approved gran´sons, 2 greatgran´sons, and a lot of mares here in Sweden. Well, the line which you call the Baronenline, we call the Håkon N302 line. Are we wrong ?? You also wrote that ReinGust, the father to Enok, was a Baronen- stallion. And in a way he is. But Håkon comes first in the line; ( Enok S 39, N 1610 )- ReinGust N 1184 - Kong Ola N 895 - Lerviksblakken N 791 - Rapp N 671 - Hà KON N 302 - Baronen N 193.

Horses in Oz
This message is from: "Jackie Kennedy" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Saskia Horses were first bought to Australia by the English when they first settled Australia, they came in ships and it took about a year, depending on the wind conditions. Helena was born here. You can get direct flights to Australia from Amsterdam, London, Frankfurt, Rome, Paris and several other large European cities. With horses, they travel in special transport planes which are chartered to fly them wherever they need to go. They have to spend time in quarantine too, both before they leave their country and when they get here too. No horses will come for the Paralympics, the riders must ride borrowed horses in this competition as its too expensive to bring horses here. The Olympics will have their horses as they have more money than the Paralympics I don't know when (or if) I'll be selected, probably not till about March in 2000 or maybe later. Missed you in the chat this morning, hope you'll make it next time but the times are really bad for you so.. Jackie.
