Amen to posts about the fjords ability to handle unusual situations even
if stubborness is part of the procedure. In the past 2 years of trail
riding Loki, we've had 2 turkey vultures to burst out of the underbrush
uring last years Olympics.
As far as geldings/mares and stubborness, I think we're back to
individual horses. We have one gelding who has never made a wrong move
in his life and has been used extensively from logging to exhibitions to
shows to parades. He is Mr. Steady and will put up with a

Here's a slightly different perspective on why Fjords may be thought of
as being stubborn. I believe more Fjords are raised "spoiled" than are
many other horses. Well-meaning owners shower the Fjords with love
(which is good) but don't know how to teach th

Maybe we can put "stubbornness" on the Myth side, except that for
appearances, it is so.
On the Truth side, you have to remember that these horses have been around a
long, long time, before they could rely on humans, whom they saw at a

twenty years later). This does not mean we love or appreciate our Morgans any
less! - but we often appreciate and have to cope with the intelligence of the
Trak and the Fjord. I think what some consider the stubborness factor is having
to deal with a more intelligent animal which caus

I think Marsha's contribution to the 'stubborness-thread' was great! Very
few horse people consider the circumstanses that have formed every single

stubborn, but I've come to realize that he's not. He is, however, the most

It's a smart kind of stubbornness. Viola seems to contemplate her right to
make *some* decisions on her own. Whether she stays in the barn, for
instance, while Onalee goes for riding. When she gets scolded for trying to

So, I would't call it stubborness. It definately has to do with t

When I was in New Mexico and called my friend/trainer here in Oregon to tell
her I was buying Juniper her exact response was "Why do you want to buy a
Fjord? They're STUBBORN!". I smiled. She hadn't met Juniper. When we moved
back to Oregon we boarded wi

Hey, They're not stubborn, just opinionated! And you have to change their
opinion! My older mare Stella (now 22) always felt SHE knew more than I
did, as she'd raised 6 babies by the time I got her. If I treat her with
respect and don't try

It's interesting to note that you mentioned "stubborness" as a trait (fact
or fiction?) of Fjord horses. We are sending one of our horses to a
trainer next week, and when I asked her if she had ever worke

Hi Lynn,
Thought we may have mentioned that-yes, they can be stubborn! But you just be
patient, and they will come around. Sometimes they have to be persuaded to do
what YOU want.
Will be interested to see what others on the list say!

Hi List Members,
I've enjoyed reading the list and thought I'd jump in with a question. As
you know I don't own a Fjord, YET, but an considering the breed for a trail
horse. I'd been talking to people about Fjords and several people (
