Re: Two Fjord firsts?
This message is from: Tanya Manser <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I am an endurance rider with Fjords (I posted them for sale here recently). My mare Ull-Mi is Intermediate (Open) here in the UK. I was hoping Rike might go further (Advanced) but sadly I'm not in a position to be able to keep them any more :((( Fjords certainly need good crewing, and they are never going to beat the Arabs in desert races, but they do a great job at completing the distance.

And I can remember a surprised Vet or two over how well the Fjords were conditioned and how quickly they recovered, even with a few years having temperatures up near 100 degrees!

This message is from: "Gail Russell" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I forgot to mention that my own Claylee's Gunthar was cleaning up in Competitive Trail Riding in BC before I bought himincluding against Arabs. Part of the reason may have been that it was relatively cool there, and, of course, it is not endurance. I actually have some of his "clippings file"...pics of him coming down a wooded slope in events he won. Gail The FjordHorse List archives can be found at: http://tinyurl.com/rcepw

RE: Two Fjord firsts?
This message is from: "Gail Russell" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> There is a woman in Santa Rosa who uses a Fjord out of Anvil's breedingpossibly from the Bishops? I cannot remember the breeders name, but it seems to me the Fjord bloodline originally was from Anvil's stock, but it was an old time breeder somewhere in the west. Not the Weaver's/Two Rivers breeding. That same Fjord also jumps 4 feet. I have noticed in the pics of the polygamist colony that they seem to be pretty decent horse people. Lots of pics of women and children in a lesson situation, and they look like they are decent riders. Gail The FjordHorse List archives can be found at: http://tinyurl.com/rcepw
