Hello Fjord list--
I am one of those "lurkers" from Minnesota. I purchased my first two fjordies
in 2/01and now I am up to 5 (3 mares and 2 geldings) fjordies and
"expecting" in June. I have enjoyed the comments regarding the number of
stalls in your barn versus the number of horses. It seems I always manage one
more horse than stalls. Fortunately, I have a husband that keeps letting me
add on to our barn.
I am a therapeutic driving instructor with We Can Ride here in MN. Besides
doing our program demonstration,We CAn Ride participated in the "parade of
breeds" mentioned by Linda Lottie with two of our awesome "therapy"
fjordsKarin (purchased from Linda Hickam, Idaho in 2/01) and Rorik's
Gunnernew to our program in 2/02. These two horses were fantastic
ambassadors for the breed. Our stalls were such that the horses could have
their heads over the gatesthey thoroughly enjoyed all of the petting,
oohing and aahing. People especially loved running their hands through the
manes! When they had had enough attentionthey just turn their butts to
the audience...and it didn't happend very often!
Loving the Viking history exchange...being based in the land of Vikings and
all. The list is a great resource...thank you so much!
