Hello Caroline, Point your driving trainer to the videos on YouTube. All she has to do is search Rose Parade Fjords and the videos will come up. All of these horses were well prepared, had confident riders and drivers and quite a bit of experience being exposed to different events and venues. There are some fjords here I would never have considered for this event, but only a few. As for "testing" trainers, etc. Fjords are incredibly intelligent and, though outwardly stoic, are very sensitive to their handlers' intentions. That, combined with their very strong sense of self-preservation, makes it challenging for some trainers who are used to working with other breeds to understand them. Beth This message is from: Caroline Warren <caroline.war...@att.net> I would love to buy some photos of the fjords in the parade to show my driving trainer, as she is incredulous that fjords could be that calm and well-behaved. My mare is OK but she's had others that, let's say, pushed her buttons. Everyone looked lovely and I'm very impressed.
