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
