I am a bloodline "addict"....and I have been fortunate to have worked
personally with several lines.
I love watching blood lines, too, Pat. Having bred and trained Fjords
for 20 years I have a good sense of certain traits in Fjord blood lines.
Over the years, you can see certain characteristics repeat them selves
when you have worked with several offspring of particular lines. You
talk about the old stallions. You shouldn't forget Ring. What a pleasure
to work with his offspring. Always good solid workers. I think Ring is
well into his twenties and not breeding anymore. I miss Eggeprins, one
of the early imported stallions. I would run, not walk for an Eggeprins
get. What fabulous minds and what a pleasure to work with and a joy to
train. I'm a great fan of the MVF Hegdal offspring. He's over 20. He
consistently produces very good dressage movement with calm, quiet, co
operative minds.
I disagree that Hostar is the only Brusvein offspring. Maybe you meant
the only stallion. There were Freya and Elda, owned by Cece Henderson, I
have an Elda daughter, Bella, a great performing Fjord in dressage and a
talented jumper like her grandsire, Hostar..
