This message is from: "the Sessoms'" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Does the NFHR have a brand for the Fjords who pass muster at American evaluations?????
My fjord mare, Dorina, has the Dutch brands on each hip. I understand that this is done at the two year old evaluation, and that she must have passed through a grading system at the time. On one side is an upside-down triangle with a 'D' in it, thus her name starts with a 'D' and all Fjord foals born in Holland that year are named with a 'D' name. Dorina was born in 1983, that means Konggard with a 'K' name was born in 1990, right? I have heard of several mares with names that start with 'U', 'V', 'W' and 'Y' but none with 'X' or 'Z'. Is that because their names just haven't come up in the Herald or on the web, or because they don't use those letters????? And what is the meaning behind the 'bars-and-dots' brand on the other side? Is it like the American freeze brand, some sort of code????? And when you see a two year old Dutch filly with the brands on each hip, what does that tell you?????
