OK ? ... :) Dear Karen, Good Heavens, what did you read into my comments to engender such an insult? What I said was I think it's too bad people are reluctant to give information on outstanding Fjords they own, or have known, for fear of appearing "self serving." It seems to me that's an attitude that does nobody any good, which is what I meant about "Cutting off the nose to spite the face." Didn't mean your nose particularly. Was thinking of our collective noses on our collective faces. ---- If people have really good Fjords, I'm interested. I want to know about those horses, who bred them, and their bloodlines, and I really don't care who gets a little extra promotion out of it. Lest anyone think I want to know in order to buy or sell those horses, that's not the case. I'm interested, that's all, and assume other Fjord people would be as well. It also seems to me that this very same attitude (fear of promoting this or that breeder) is the one that has kept the Fjord Show Committees from doing what other horse shows do; namely, announcing the breeding and breeders of horses at the shows, and in the show programs. I've stood at the rails at both Woodstock and Libby and heard spectators complaining about this. Several of them have been dog breeders or fanciers, and they've all said that printing and announcing breeders and parentage is standard at all shows. Particularly important for the in-hand classes. Anybody else have any ideas on this subject? And Karen, you're wrong about my supposed opinion on King Harald. Truth is I don't have an opinion never having seen the stallion, or had anything to do with his offspring. You say we've got "trendy Fjords"? Didn't know that . . . but, Cool!
