Fjord ponies...

Has anyone here kept one? I was pleasantly surprised by how cheap they are on horsemart and I think they're very attractive. They look like good family ponies and happy hackers. With having such thick, cresty necks are they able to round into an outline? Not that I compete but I aspire to ride a horse in the correct balance with relaxing swinging paces and so on.

the ones that i have worked with are very strong!!!!! and safe as they were used for disabled riders so good weight carriers not sure about outline but surly it would depend on the horse and not its breed (i havn't got a clue lol) i personally quite like them

Never kept one but used to ride one at a riding school. I can honestly say it was one of the best rides i have ever had. She was great, im terrified of jumping but i jumped her on my first lesson!

Most Fjords have a natural outline. They generally make novice riders look like they are far better riders than they actually are, LOL!!

Agree with Tia, there's one at our yard who ride in an outline naturally, and is bombproof and CUTE

He's very, very strong though.

there was a 10 yr old for sale down here in cornwall, it was reg here in england and holland? (i think it was holland!!) done most things. they were asking £3500 which i thought was a bloody bargain. they are lovely horses but not for me.

Thanks all, sounds good. I'm amazed to have found a breed that my OH has actually taken to! He loves them.
