Just had to jump into the 'canter' discussion. My pony, Kilar, is
mostly driven, but we ride now and then. He is very heavy on the
forehand when we ride. Until we get to the canter.! Then - he lifts
his front end and just uses that great bu

Laura I had a lovely (first Fjord for me) Fjord who had a great trot and

Sounds like fun. I aspire to that that with Bjorn. I have to ask,
can your boy canter, and if so, is his canter collected? ... Now I

The main exercise we do wiith my Fjord to help him slow down his own rhytm
is do do precise small circles. He can do very precise and well balanced 10

Few people here in Little Rock know what Fjords are; most will ask if
my mare is a big Shetland pony! But the reception is nearly always
good. I've only had one person ask, "Why a Fjord?" with a bit of a
sneer; she was on a flashy, black Peruvi

I fell in love with Fjords after seeing a magazine with a painting Gene
Bauer's 4-in-hand and lovely carriage on the front and photos of Modellen
and a couple of his daughters inside. So the breeds particular look caught

I've dealt with negativity in CA at a hunter/jumper barn and here in CO
at a dressage barn. At both places it was a mix of thinking Fjords were
physically incapable of doing things like canter, or jump, being *beyond*
stubborn,
and having a "look" t

I sure haven't had comments against a Fjord. In fact, I have had just the
oppsite.
Everywhere we ride and I meet other riders, they all stop and want to know
about the Fjords.
On the streets, the cars will stop and ask about them. Everybody comments on

I am currently in a barn with very down to earth people, many

I dunno, my experiences have been all positive. Everywhere I go with the

them. Fellow boarders love their cuteness and their mellow natures, and barn
owners love how easy the

Hi Lisa:
Ok I admit when I first started riding Bjorn, I thought Fjords were
strange looking. I was also told that they were really stubborn, so
natually I didn't want to ride one. Then I was "forced" to:)

I have not personally experienced any prejudice, but when I first went
searching for a Fjord I was warned by an email buddy that her riding

Laura,
I never found any prejudice with the riding folks. Of course, we
trail ride. Comments were made that the Fjord is a great trail horse;
very sturdy and sure footed. It would be different around here at the
hunter-jumper stables. T

I use Nina a lot for lunging riders in our Therapeutic Riding Program plus
back riding plus any thing else I've asked. Frodo was an awesome vaulting mount

learning to lunge. Roby
