Hello, from Carol Rivoire at Beaver Dam Farm in Nova Scotia - I really am sorry for giving everybody indigestion! This is a "round the kitchen table" discussion group, and I can certainly understand nobody wants to be lectured to or yelled at. I know I can be a pain in the neck, and I've been told to "lighten up" more than once (usually by Arthur), so I hope you'll all accept my sincere apologies for curdling the cream in your morning coffee. I banged (literally) that post off late at night, and while I was hammering at the keys, a little voice in the back of my head was warning me to cool it. I ignored the little voice, and had a miserable night's sleep. Retribution! I can take criticism, and hopefully I can profit by it. What I've learned from this is that - The point I wanted to make was completely lost due to my over zealous, strident presentation. And I've also learned that no matter my intentions, I don't have the right to inflict my passions on this forum. I'll try again, very briefly, to make that point. -- Most of the stallions Holland stands are Norwegian bred and Norwegian Approved breeding stallions. Van Bon has traveled to Norway with a horse trailer, and brought them back. Therefore, it stands to reason that the "type" of Fjords bred in both countries is very similar. In my opinion, to encourage the idea that Holland has one type of Fjord, and Norway another is counter-productive. A Fjord is a Fjord is a Fjord, in both countries.
