You asked about >Norwegian and Swedish breeding. --- My name is Carol Rivoire, and our farm >is BEAVER DAM FARM FJORDS II in Nova Scotia, and we've been importing and >breeding Fjords for eighteen years. Our two top horses are Norwegian and >Swedish. Our stallion, Gjest, was born in Norway, and stayed there until he >was four or five years old. He did the Stallion Trials in Nordfjordeid, and >his trotting test of the kilometre was the fastest on record. To my >knowledge, still today, no other stallion has trotted the kilometre at his >speed. He did it in 2.12 minutes. Today, Gjest is 21 years old, and still >a magnificent trotter, and still very fast. Fast enough to make anybody, >even race horse people, take notice. As far as I know, Gjest's record goes >back well over a hundred years. > >Gjest's sire was Helgas-Jarl, and Helgas-Jarl's sire was Vosse-Lars Nstb. >No. 1674. Gjest's dam was Rita Nstb. No. 13847, and her sire was >Solidblakken Nstb. No. 1556. > >Our top breeding mare is Stine Nstb. No. 14911. Her sire was Ene, Nstb. No. >1929, and Swedish registration number S-55. Ene is a Swedish born stallion. >Ene's sire was Enok Nstb. No. 1610. And Enok's sire was Rein-Gust. Ene's dam >was Tolta Swedish reg. number S-700, and her sire was Eik S-15. His sire was >Safir, and his sire was Dyre. > >On Stine's dam sid - Her dam was Silja N-14000, whose sire was Freidig Nstb. >1723, and his sire was Solve Nstb. 1672, and his sire was Torbjorn, and his >sire was Blom. --- On the dam's sire - Silja's dam was Sally Nstb. 13234. >Her sire was Ernar. His sire was Torbjorn, and his sire was Blom. > >These two incredible Fjords (Gjest and Stine) have produced the best horses >we've ever seen --- and certainly the best we've ever produced. (Beaver >Dam Farm has had over sixty foals). One of the sons of this cross is BDF >Kanada King, who has won "Best Stallion" at the Libby, Montana show three >years running. Kanada King is now competing in dressage and doing very >well. Another beautiful son is BDF Malcom Locke, now breeding in Ohio. >There were two daughters, BDF Jennifer Ann and BDF Liza, both big and >beautiful. And finally, last year we had a gorgeous colt born from Stine >and Gjest that we named BDF Obelisk. --- As much as we've always tried to >avoid having two stallions on the farm, we've decided to keep Obelisk as an >eventual replacement for Gjest. He's beautiful, and a wonderful mover, and >has a lovely disposition, so I guess we really can't part with him. > >So, that is our connection to Swedish Fjord breeding. Stine is a >magnificent horse. She has the presence of a very proud stallion. She's >quite tall, and up-headed, and everyone ALWAYS notices her. In my just >published book, THE FJORDHORSE HANDBOOK, I've put Stine on the cover. She's >my idea of the best of the breed. --- Sorry to be so wordy, which is why I >don't contribute much. Once I get going on the subject of Fjords, I can't >rein myself in. There's just so much to say. > >Best regards, Carol > > Hi Carol !! I didn´t know that Ene had a daughter in is it England or Usa ?? ( I´m not good at geografy. ) Ene s-55 and Tolta s-700, I ´ve got the pedigrees on them five lines on them I think. You mentioned the stallion Solidblakken. He´s in some of our swedish tribes too. Gjest, what stallionline is he ?? ( Håkon Jarl N645, Håkon, Bergfast or Oyarblakken ) He seems to be a very nice stallion !!
