To see more about the history,see the Fjordhorse page at http://home.sol.no/~snygaard/fjord.html . > The drawing that Bob Van Bon is refering to is of Rosendalsborken I 08. It > is used as the "symbol" of the Fjord horse in Norway and many other > countries and will appear on the cover of the NFHR standard as well. If > anyone is not familier with it, email me privately and I can email the > image to you. I have heard from one source that at least in Norway, it is > a "symbol" only, and not necessarily the "ideal" to strive for. Does > anyone else have any information about this?
