    [RC] Are Fjords a good choice for the HW rider? - Ridecamp Guest

    Hi all! I've done a few LD rides with my TWH/QH mare over the past year. We've had an absolute blast, but I really think just coming in on time (whilst still getting good scores) is as good as she's going to do. A great trail horse, but not neccessarily cut out for endurance, with a HW in Florida anyways.
    
    I am also in a position right now where I wouldn't mind getting a youngin' and letting him grow for a bit. (Trying to get preggers, so I know I won't be competing for awhile)
    
    Enter PMU Foal Quest... their program sounds like worthy one and they have lots of Fjord cross horses availible. Most are sired by a full Fjord and the dam is a Fjord cross.
    
    Do ya'll think they'd make a decent endurance horse for a heavyweight? I thought they were known for being able to carry a LOT of weight, but do they have the recovery capabilties and such for endurance?
