Owning a horse is a lot of responsibility but it is totally worth it. Horses are my life and I don't know what I would do with out them. I can ride when ever i want and no matter what my horse always makes me feel better. We have a great bond and she is my best friend :-)

The worth of owning a horse is like the worth of having children or marrying. There is no logical, practical reason to fall in love, or want children but there is an emotional reason. Horses become your best friend, somebody you can bond with in a manner that you can't bond with a cat or dog. Its an amazing feeling to be able to partner with such a large animal.
Than there's the adrenaline rushes of equestrianism. A sport that is dangerous, rushing, and challenging.

owning a horse is amazing. you feel so much responsibility, the cons would probably be bills( board, vet, farrier) but knowing that your horse has proper care for her health then u can ride her whenever and feel good and if they do get lame then you still have time to let her get better and heal. if u have never owned a horse or leased one, i would recommend leasing for a couple months if u can so u can feel somewhat of the responsibilty without paying a lot of the expensive bills.

Most people will have an amazing bond with their horse. Horses are loving animals. The best part of having a horse is not at all riding. I love to ride but I just love spending time with my horse. I love relaxing in his paddock while he grazes and plays with the other horses. I love grooming him and spending time with him. It's great

Huge emotional benefits as well as physical benefits. You get a best friend, a "therapist," as my friend likes to say, because as silly as it sounds you can talk to them. You have an emotional bond with them, and you get the satisfaction of the sport itself, whether you ride English or western, in competition and improving. You also stay in shape physically doing chores and caring for your horse and riding.

they haven't any specific standards that are specific to fjords. i assume the only setbacks to the breed are that in case you want to circulate some distance in a particular discipline, they gained't be solid for that- yet I mean very severe point stuff. i comprehend a fjord who did discovery heights final season (that's 1m) so do no longer decide a e book by ability of its conceal i assume! yet yeah, in case you have an activity in shows etc, then a fjord isn't the pony for you. of direction they're positive at interior of sight point and that's all maximum folk do. yet for larger point affiliated shows in any discipline (different than perhaps making use of?) you would be greater effective off with something larger and greater athletic. in addition they fee a good bit, and it is especially the seems which you're figuring out to purchase. that's no longer a topic with the breed in line with se, in spite of the fact that it would easily placed me off! they certainly tend to have the common cheeky/naughty character that in many cases comes with ponies, and can be good and obdurate besides. some human beings hate that, some like it- that relies upon on you no count if that's a expert or a con. they're solid ponies. you are able to easily come across a speedy, scopey one which you're able to do lots with. super for pony club etc. tend to have a advantageous temprement, and many character. and that they are attractive finding for sure ;) they're solid doers- so which you will no longer ought to fork out for a lot of rugs, footwear, etc. And maximum can stay in or out. Tbh, if I have been finding for a horse i does no longer set my factors of interest as 'I definately want a fjord' i might open as much as welshes, hafflingers, cobs etc. All comparable to fjords yet lots greater inexpensive and much less annoying to hit upon! :) upload: Oh i'm getting what you mean now :) they're in many cases hogged around right here so as that's no longer a controversy, sorry i did no longer think of.
