Here comes rainy greetings from Sweden. I´ve asked before, but there seems to be a very small interest in tribes and family trees. All my free time, I spent doing family trees on different fjords. Did you for example knew that there´s only four stallionlines all over the world in the fjordbreeding ?? And how did it become like this ? I think this is very interesting, because it must have been more than one stallion in the beginning. The stallion which is the"father" to all four stalliontribes is called Njaal N 166. And his great grandfather is Gange Rolv I N 42. And the four lines is; Bergfast N 635, Håkon Jarl N 645, Öyarblakken N 819 and Håkon ( Can´t remember his number right know ). Here in Sweden, the most common line is Håkon Jarl, and the rarest Öyarblakken. Of the 30 stallions we have in use right now, I think it´s just 2 or maybe 3 who´s the Öyarblakken line. When we started our breeding here in Sweden in the end of the 1950´s, we imported stallions and mares from Norway. And most of the stallions were back then Öyarblakkenline. Which lines do you have in the rest of the world ? All of the four ? Mail and tell me ! This can be a very interesting discussion !!
