Hi Mike, << >The preformance capabilities is an established >fact, and do not need to be drilled into the ground.

Think FJORD HORSE. >> Again, great post! I agree with you 100%, BUT, people DO think "sport" versus "draft". Nine times out of ten, one of the first questions we are asked by a potential buyer is if we have "sport" or "draft" Norwegian Fjords. Are we, the Norwegian Fjord people, putting this misconception out to the general public, ourselves? That is worrisome... <Then maybe the white line analogy is flawed. Don't try to find that "Ideal Fjord" on the line and think that it is the only one that is any good. That "Ideal" is different things to different people. > Could this not apply to evaluators, themselves? If so, how does that affect the future of the Norwegian Fjord? I have to agree with Catherine, we also have a broad range of sizes on our farm, and love each and every one of them. They are ALL Norwegian Fjords.
