I believe that right now PROTECTION of the breed IS already one of our "Prime Directives" so to speak. That is why we are the only Registry in North America that requires DNA typing of all horses except geldings now. A Parentage Verification is required before we will register a horse. Our new Breed Standard that took so long to write was due to the seemingly impossible task of writing it and not excluding any of they current types of Fjords we have. There are still a lot of people that are interested in the drafty type. There are also a lot interested in the finer riding type. We are determined to keep ALL of the kinds we have today. We don't want to be to overly influnced by what other countries are producing these days.
