This message is from: "Denise Delgado" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> dear tami. i think the basic coloring is there to stay but the coat might improve with deworming and better nutrition. as for the stripping on back and legs; some fjords just have darkened legs and their midline stripe is skinnier and less dense. i don't know about the breeding part of it. is he registered? a cross ? just thoughts, denise ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, July 27, 1999 11:23 AM Subject: Re: Gelding
