This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] My favorite case - We had just gotten our first Fjords; 22 year old Ellinor and her 2 year old daughter Islys. Dad & I had started working with Islys, who took to cart like a fish to water. One day while I was at work, Dad & Mom were going to drive Islys a bit. Dad went out, caught, groomed & hitch up the horse and was driving her around the yard when Mom came out..... And promptly asked him why he was driving Ellinor instead of Islys? <G> As far as we have been able to find out Ellinor had never been trained or used as anything but a brood mare, but other than acting like she had no idea what a bit was for she accepted the cart completely.
I do agree totally with whoever said it's the horse itself, and not it's age, that determines whether they'll make a driving horse or not. Amy Amy Evers Dun Lookin' Fjords Redmond, OR Fjord [EMAIL PROTECTED]
