This message is from: "Lauren Chumley" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Thank you for your very kind words, Pat! Carl is a most wonderful, willing animal, and absolutely as versatile as any fjord I know. He had an enormous amount of training when he was with us in Ohio, and we showed him in a variety of disciplines. I would urge anyone looking for a breeding stallion to give him a look... you will not be disappointed!
