Therefore, I think that it would be important to maintain >our European connection with the "experts" from Holland, Norway, etc. I quite agree, but my information re the demand for US warmbloods market in Europe is because of the use of our thoroughbreds in cross breeding to take the heaviness out of the big beasties. That was how my thoroughbred mare, at 15.2 hands won over ponderous ladies of the Holstein breed in front of three European judge/evaluators. Are we going to add thoroughbred blood to our fjörds or just have such great lineage Europeans will want them? Jean Gayle Jean Gayle --- A Subscriber at Techline
