This evening I put a saddle on bambi and the bosal. She did excellent! She didn't freak out one bit as some horses do when they get girthed up(we had this experience with a colt we had in the past). I eventually let the stirrups down and she did well. We even did some trotting outside(i was jogging while she followed by my side..i had ahold of her)...and guess what...perfectly fine!

Here are pictures of my beautiful little fjord.

Yea,I have her for sale currently BUT I reaaaally am starting to like her and getting attached since I've been working on her training. My husband and I talked about it and he said I just have to pitch in a bit more for food...sooo I am thinking I will keep her as my pony horse..I have a big horse..well she is small...14.2 and on the verge of being 14.3.

Personally, I think she's a Hackney or Hackney x-- Gidget has stated she has a naturally animated trot. Fjords are HULKS. We had a baby one(that we were told by a vet that was 5) that I had to hop on. While I looked topheavy, her barrel took up my entire leg.

OKay,guys...you know you all reaaaallly annoy me about my horse and basically saying I'm wrong about her breed. The lady that orignally owned her said she was full Fjord. But we were thinking she is part because she has fine bone structure. Most people that see her also think she is full fjord so I don't know what your guy's problem is. I was told what she was and I'm sticking to it. She is only 2 years old and the owner I got her from was thinking she might had poor nutrition.She has been filling out a lot since I have got her.

I was showing everyone her progress SO STOP assuming her breed.

I have seen fjords with fine built bones as well.
She looks nothing like a mustang. She has all the traits of a fjord.Just because she is small doesn't mean she isn't..I've seen fine boned quarter horses...big boned arabs....are you going to assume that they are not their breed? She is small,I know. But she is filling out a lot...the owner who had her mentioned she was chunking up as well when she got her and she was thinner when I had her.

It just reaaaalllly bothers me that people always try prove me wrong on everything on this stupid forum. Why can't people just be nice and comment on the progress...if I wanted to know her breed I would have gone in that section.

We're not just looking at her legs.. but all of her. Especially since you've stated that she's got animation. Got me thinkin'..

Her barrel and chest screams Hackney to me:

The only thing kinda Fjord-y about her is her head. BUT, that could be shetland, even.

No one's trying to prove you wrong, and in the end it doesn't matter what her breed is, since she isn't registered and you can't do really big shows as it is. They just saw it, since a LOT of people say 'Oh, it's a buckskin with frosting!! FJORD!' when I've seen TWH with that coloring.

I wasn't talking about her legs...

Leave me alone vivache....I am no longer talking to you or always left behind. You all think you are professionals in the horse world but I have news for you...no one is.Everyone is constantly learning. You just happen to be very blunt and you have totally pushed my buttons. It's people like you who bother me cause you always think you are right because you have been around horses and take lessons...I do too.

Honestly, I've just had an experience like this before.

I thought Bella was a Hackney. We bought her under the pretense that she was a Hackney, it said Hackney on her coggins.. I thought she was a hackney. A vet came out(when she lost her tooth) who used to show hackneys. He said 'Nope. This is a yearling fjord. Might have Hackney in there.'

OP no one is atacking you. relax.

since she is not registured ne one will evern know for sure. I dont think she looks Fjord-y either but thats my oppinion. If you like her then why does it mater what she is??? If you had to have a pure bred then you should have got some thing with papers.

Hey everyone,

First off. Hackneys come in dun?? I learned a new one!

Second off I sold her Bambi. Bambi was sold to me very skinny, and as a pure bred Fjord. But, no papers so??
Bambi Is chunking up well, I think she is very Fjord in the face, I think she may be a cross but who knows without papers.

It is also obviouis that she was not taken care of before I got her, and I am sure is not as growthy as she should be for her age.

I think she will suprize everyone and be quite the little chunky butt when she grows up and fills out.

No one is saying that she is wrong we are just stating what we see. I don't know why the OP is being so rude.

Okay guys, I think this thread has strayed away from its intial topic in very beginning. Since it seems to be kind of controversial and has turned mainly a debate about the OP's horse, I'm going to close it.
