I have had a multiple number of "Fjord moments" when interacting with trainers
over the last 10 years and I am sure they will continue.
1) the trainer who was scared/run away with/mad at previous Fjords. Since the
lady was a "phenomenal" trainer with great information we went and learned a
lot, hoping that her view is different now (but she always insisted on riding
on the "back" of the carriage). A great trainer is willing to take each horse
as they come
2) The trainer who said that neck is too strong and moved the rein immediately
down on the bit. Tried to learn what I could (good info was presented) but
ensured that I moved the rein where I was comfortable.
3) Great trainer who was able to say: Hmmm different, but not. Let's learn
together. What a great dressage lady.
4) Super well known dressage rider who feels that it is "fun" to learn about
other breeds, Curt is going for a lesson with some Icelandic pals. A real
Viking moment.
If you are new to Fjords, learn your horse first and try clinics/instructors
that slowly move you up in capability, both you and your horse(s) happy at
having each lesson.
YOU DO NOT HAVE TO USE THE TRAINER THAT COMES WITH YOUR BARN. Also, the
closest one may not be the answer either. Look at the other students and
horses and see how happy they are, I can talk about trainers all day (and my
poor husband does not have the greatest luck training me, my horses-yes,
me-difficult)
