This message is from: Julia Will <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Good questions! And something that we are trying to address in our "almost finished" standard for the NFHR. To quote...
"Historically, Fjords have appeared in different shapes, models or body types, according to the different needs of the times. From this wide genetic pool comes the versatile Fjord of today, which is not a specialized breed, but a breed with horses of different types and sizes which can be used for a wide variety of activities. Horses that meet the set conditions and demands of quality are equally acceptable, although they can be of different sizes and body types. Conformation should be harmoniously balanced and must always be complemented by substance of body and ample bone." As soon as the Standard is a "done deal" I will post it in full on this mailing list. Julie @ Old Hickory Farm
