This message is from: Marie Rosen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hi Becky and welcome! This list is comprised of some of the sweetest and most helpful folks you'll ever find. It's the next best thing to sitting around the kitchen table, making fast work of a fresh pot of coffee, and talking Fjords! I have learned so much from the infinite wisdom of our members, and am proud to be a part of the Fjord family. Best of luck to you and your new boy! Marie Rosen from Long Island

I bought my first Fjord a few months ago; a 10 year old gelding. He was a therapy horse for about 5 years, but became bored and barn sour and would take particular advantage of volunteers (handlers & walkers) who were not horse savvy. The facility decided he needed to go to a one-owner home instead of being handled by so many transient volunteers. So I bought him knowing we have some issues to work on. He has an obstinate side for sure, but he's also a charmer and very sweet...and very smart! I'm seeing a lot of the traits in him that I've read about on this list. I've had driving and riding trainers work with him for about 45 days. They both say he is a very good horse who just needs consistency and leadership. We are hoping he will settle in and become a good pleasure/trail/driving horse for our family now that he's had some professional evaluation and tuning. I also have a 5 year old Percheron mare and the two are getting along great. He has a very calming influence on my mare. She adores him and I think the two will make happy trail horse buddies. I'm enjoying reading about all your Fjords and have picked up a wealth of information.
