This message is from: "Reena" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Here is my two cents worth:
In reply to what Karen and Jean have been discussing, I am VERY willing to pay for any and all training that is put onto a horse. I have no desire to buy an uncivilized horse (no matter what breed) and I am willing to pay more for that training...... Karen says: " I think that as soon as the buyer looks at enough horses out there, they too will come to the conclusion that "you get what ya pay for". Boy Karen, you could say that again!!!!!! "Another thing is this: a responsible brreder/seller WILL take into account the ability level of the interested buyer, and will discuss realisticlly with the buyer the suitability of horse to human and vice versa" If my previous seller had done that then I wouldn't have gone through a year of h#LL with the QH I had...but then of course I wouldn't have gotten Gustav at the end of it, so in the long run it was worth it. :-) and in regards to this comment: "So what is it about Fjords? Is it their size (generally speaking) or simply because they're so darned friendly and cute?" I have found that people consider 'ponies' as a equine that doesn't need to be trained...as if they come that way naturally. Why people think that way, I have NO IDEA!!!!
