I would like to answer two questions. 1. Dave McWethy askrd about red dun geldings or stallions. The family I got my fjord from has 16 fjords, and used to have two red geldings. 2. Suzan Johnson asked about teaching Fjords to canter. The way I taught Fj to canter was in deep snow, so they can't run away, but at this time of year, that's probably not possible. If you're really comfortable with everything elce, I suggest you choose a spot with nice footing ( edge of driveway?) and canter away from home. Don't do it in a feild with horses even if that is the best area (I've fallen off doing that), and let him do almost whatever he wants. Don't canter back, no matter how well behaved he is (I've fallen off doing that, too) I have tried both ways, and that seems to work best.
