This message is from: "Linda Lehnert" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hi, Dagrun! Congratulations on your new job. It sounds like Quinn would be a great horse for this family. Here in the Odenwald the Fjords are very popular and do very well in jumping classes in the youth shows. The primary competition for the Fjords comes from the Haflingers and Deutsches Reitponies (miniature warmbloods, some of which have the temperament too). The Fjords jump just as well as those breeds and have better temperament. The kids riding Fjords in the Reichelsheim Pony Spiele clean up with ribbons in both jumping and dressage. They have a special class in the Pony Renn (pony racing) for Fjords and Haflingers and the Fjords are faster. I would hope that the family also considers temperament and versatility which certainly puts the Fjords ahead. Good luck on selling Quinn; I hope you can find him a good home. Linda in Lindenfels (snowed hard Monday, temperature hovered around 0°C all week, so snow is still on the ground, but the streets and roads are clear)
