Just a line to let you know that I (along with some other FHRS members) have just returned from the young stallion show in Alsfeld, Germany. The show had 51 young stallions aged two and three years representing seven breeds; Icelandic, Haflinger, Connemara, Mangalarga Marchador, Shetland, Welsh and Fjord. The standard of the Fjord being shown was high, which was proven out when five out of the ten youngsters being presented for "Koerung" were given temporary licences, and KJORNA by Kvest Halsnaes ex Lajona was not only judged Champion of the Fjord section, but was also judged Overall Champion too! In three years time when these young Fjord stallions are presented for their permanent breeding licence, perhaps only one will be given a licence. Tough going for those that fail, but it does ensure that only the highest quality Fjord stallion is allowed to breed.
