Hi Mary! Welcome to the list. >We enjoy >the Fjord list and find a lot of the information useful. Sometime we >should run a survey just to see how old some of the Fjords out there >are. We really have no idea how old they get. The oldest one we were >aware of was 27 years old when he died. Anyone have any ideas how to >run a survey? I am about to leave for a couple of days but would be willing to run some numbers for you when I get back. I can tell you that SONJA AT-G-007-M owned by Dick Mcguire in Ennis MT was born 1/1/67. She is our oldest recorded living horse. I am sure that the 1/1/67 is not the real date of birth but she is probably a 67 foal. The next oldest is NANSY 2071-A born 5/6/69. ======================================================= Norwegian Fjord Horse Registry http://www.nfhr.com Mike May, Registrar mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Webster, NY, USA (Suburb of Rochester) Voice 716-872-4114 FAX 716-787-0497 =======================================================
