RE: New Fjord Horse Forum
This message is from: Jeanne [EMAIL PROTECTED] I think Eric's new Fjord Horse Bulletin Board/Forum is GREAT. He's done a nice job putting this in place. It's a great way to communicate. Take a look at it... there are more and more people joining in. Other than being able to post pictures, another great benefit is your inbox isn't always cluttered with emails you have to spend time deleting or reading... the new forum is just another tool to communicate, in a different manner, that's all. There is absolutely nothing wrong with the fjord horse email list. I don't think anybody is saying that.

Did some of you ride endurance with Fjord horses ?
This message is from: Nature Friends Outdoor [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi there, I was wondering if some of you used your Fjord horses for competitive trail or endurance competitions. I am wondering if anyone has some experience with that. I hear that drafty horses usually don't do that good...

Re: Did some of you ride endurance with Fjord horses ?
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hello Yasmine Last year I trained with a lady that was doing compative trail and I rode fjords. We out performed all of the horse in the group. We camped out and average 20-25 miles a day and doing over 100 miles in 4 day weekend. The other horses could not keep up with the fjords fast trot they had to canter and by the end of the day they cooled out wonderfully and were ready to go the next morning!! They not only surprised me, but a large group of die hard riders!The fjords that I ride are the more sporty type not the big heavy draft.

RE: Did some of you ride endurance with Fjord horses ?
This message is from: Gail Russell [EMAIL PROTECTED] I know a woman who uses an Anvil's Morgen (Morgan) son to do endurance. And jump 4 feet. I might be able to put you in contact with her. Claylee's Gunthar competed successfully against Arabs in NATRC in British Columbia (cooler climate, which helps the heavier horses). His PR's were excellent. I got a few of his clippings when I bought him. Gail The FjordHorse List archives can be found at: http://tinyurl.com/rcepw
Re: Did some of you ride endurance with Fjord horses ?
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I have not done endurance riding but I have done Performance Driving, which is basically the carting version of endurance. It is similar to endurance, with the vet checks and PR tracking and recovery times factored in along with time and distance. The trails are hilly and can be quite challenging. One year we did the 9.5 mile segment in just under 1 hour and 15 minutes (with over 90 degree temps), and our recovery was well under the allowable time. The Vet remarked that he never realized that Fjords could be that fit. The next year the same Vet was there and remarked to his assistant This is the horse I was telling you about - the one that hardly broke a sweat last year. I was doing about 3 - 5 miles a day, at least 5 days a week, at the walk and trot to get her in shape for this competition.

Re: Did some of you ride endurance with Fjord horses ?
This message is from: Warren Stockwell [EMAIL PROTECTED] I remember an associate of mine who rides endurance saying that there is a Fjord that is in the circuit and doing very well. I would imagine isn't due to the hardy nature and strong drive/work ethic they have.

Re: fjordhorse-digest V2007 #183
This message is from: Lois Anne Starr [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi All: First, so sorry about the double send with no reply. Twitchy finger... Eric, your Fjord forum format is very well done and thought out. I do understand how some people would be interested in near real time dialog however, I couldn't help but wonder...how many folks have time to sit for an hour or two, IMing (or something similar) on the computer? I'm lucky to grab 10-15 minutes or so at a time to answer an email, much let park and chat, and I only have 3 horses. I have a Belgian friend who IM's me (and me her) frequently but we don't always have time to visit and our contact is gradually dropping. It is disappointing, but real. Anyway, just wanted to compliment you on the forum site. It is well done, and if I have time, I hope to drop in on occasion. Lois Anne, Montana I am confused!

Did some of you ride endurance with Fjord horses ?
This message is from: susan cook [EMAIL PROTECTED] I was wondering if some of you used your Fjord horses for competitive trail or endurance competitions. I am wondering if anyone has some experience with that. I hear that drafty horses usually don't do that good... Yasmine Djabri Yasmine, Yes, we've done limited distance, both ridden and driven competitive trail up to 35 miles. For years, the Green Mountain Horse Association 15 miler had a large contingent of Fjords. My mare Zoe ( Zoe the Wonder Fjord, who does anything with verve and enthusiasm) was grand champion in one of the rides. Dave McWethy drove the stallion Modellen in several distance rides including the Vermont 100 and did very well with him. Fjords can do it. Do your homework and condition well. The heavier muscled horses are harder to cool and don't do as well in the hotter, muggy weather. I don't feel Fjords are competitive at endurance at the higher distances and faster speeds. Good luck!
