Ok, thank you. What is Tina's contact info? Does she train horses to drive 
as well as ride?

Bonnie, I live in the Riverside area so I am not close to you. If you 
wanted
to bring your Fjord to Chino Hills for training I am sure Tina Duree could 
do
the job. The down side is you would not be able to be there often. I do 
not
know of any trainers in your area willing to take a Fjord. Some trainers 
only

take on certain breeds and I would not out my Fjord with just anyone.

Hi Jo,
Do you like this trainer and if so, where is she? Can anyone else from CA 
recommend a good trainer for riding and driving a young fjord?

Thanks!

That is funny. I had Regn in training for 2 months and my trainer said she
learns better than the champion QH's she usually has. I knew it to be true 
but
takes a QH trainer working with a Fjord to see for themselves Hee hee. 
Regn was

also the love of all the QH people. Her brains, beauty and personality put
her apart from the rest. I have finished her myself and she owns my heart. 
I

LOVE her!

trainer - new to fjords

2007-06-21 Thread Linda Lottie

This message is from: "Linda Lottie" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Hi.sharing a trainer story.  I have my 5 year old gelding at a trainer 
for two months.  Trainer has never worked with fjords.  After a week, 
"Hasse" is his favorite of all the horses he is training.the others, of 
course, quarter horses.  Most of the other horses need "fixing" of one kind 
or another and most need LOTS of ground work and "space" work.  Hasse needed 
very little of that and is on to riding.


After an hour of riding/training Hasse hardly breaks a sweat...the qh 
are all sweated up with nervous sweat from fussing and stewing about every 
little thing.  One day the trainer said to himself, after hasseling with all 
the quarterhorses about one thing or another."I am going to get rid of 
all the QH and just have fjords" - hahaha!!!


He also expressed surprise at the athleticism Hasse has.  Trainer could not 
believe there is a fjord that performs reining.I'll bring him a photo :)


I am having Hasse trained for "ranch style" riding to be my trail riding 
horse.  He will be ridden western but will not have the peanut roller head 
set or the 4-beat lope (I also own a QH from the breed show world).He 
will be a darn nice, well trained, trail horse/pleasure horse that I, my 
daughter and my horse friends can enjoy for years to come.  If all goes as 
planned, Hasse, will also attend the MN horse expo 2008.


Hasse is from my mare Lena (a Grabbson daughter/Bibi) and Fair Acres Sven II 
(owned by the Schlichmans).  Trainer also said "Hasse's" willingness to work 
is like nothing he has seen, plus, is obviously very intelligent.


This trainer is young and just starting out..I hope he does well for 
me..he also trains to drive.   A nice addition to the trainers in MN & 
WI who have experience with fjords.


I'll keep you posted..

Linda in WI
Owner of Sven (he is 20 and I can't believe it), Lena (13) and Hasse (5)

PS   Does anyone own a "people mover".a horse drawn vehicle with bench 
seats that hold 6-10 riders?  I am looking for one.
