This message is from: "Eileen Perry" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> That's interesting! I'm assuming that this was the ride near Madras OR? One of my coworkers saw this horse at the ride. She and her husband (a vet), compete on Arabs and crosses. They were trying to figure out what it was (Haflinger, Icelandic, etc). She did mention it took a while to get his P&Rs down at the checks, not surprising.
As far as other Fjords, there is a classic endurance riding book by Linda Tellington-Jones, when she was heavy into the event. One of the plates is a Fjord stallion competing on a ride in Germany, if I recall. I'm impressed, 'cause these days an hour in the saddle is enough for me.
