hello, I wanted to know what you folks have found is best for feeding a 
fjord.  When i bought him here in Alaska, the prior owner said to feed 
him hay only.  how much per body weight do you all feed?  Ours (a 
gelding) got fat this winter :(  I also give him a general daily 
supplement, as well as extra selenium ( I checked and his level is 
perfect) due to the low level in Ak.  In summer when he grazes, I am 
also giving him extra thiamine since he eats some equisetum.  Any hints?
Also can anyone tell me about the genetics of coat color in fjords?  I 
am quite versed in genetics, so you can be specific.  how is it 
inherited? In general, what % are brown, red and grey dun?  Is there 
really a "white dun"?  just curious!  carol's book is ordered, so i may 
have many of these answers soon in the book too.  Thanks
Ann Restad, Alaska
