Hello! I would like to answer to Ursula & Brian Jensen 's mail because we have had the same interessant debate with french fjords owners on a french forum about fjord horse. Here, the trend is about 2 types of fjords: a taller and more fine fjord (more than 1m50) , and a smaller and more fine fjord, who have a classical pony morphology ( 1m30). In september 2004, the fjord horse has become a "horse", before he was a pony here,this a proof of changes about fjord type in France. My fjord have a typical fjord morphology, he has Nederland origins.But many french breeders make birth fjords which have the type that buyers want, so they are often more fine. In "Eurocheval", a big horse meeting ( in Offenbourg, Germany),many fjords were more tall than the original type. Fortunately, they are still breeders who respect the original type!I wish that in the future,there will exist still breeders like them. I know that the genetic point of view is for the diversity of the types, but I thank all breeders who preserve the typical morphology of fjords horses, that I think is the best. Thank you Ursula & Brian Jensen .
