That is correct.
Apparently there are six or seven foals from this ulsdun to ulsdun cross. I think the horse on the NFHR web page is the only one who is pure white, or kvit. I assume 'kvit' means 'white' in Norwegian - seems I read that somewhere.
Yes he is the only one I know of in the US. And yes Kvit translates to white in Norwegian.
If so, then there would be a reason for at least one 'kvit' foal from this cross. Modellen's grandsire was a horse named Kviten(full brother to our ulsdun mare Line, which would make his sire Ola Gik and his dam Flikka). I assume from this horse's name that he was probably pure white with no black(dun) stripe.
Not sure on that one.
You would expect this to come out again somewhere down the line, especially if the breeding was to another ulsdun.
Yes the chances should be fairly high actually with an Uls x Uls breeding. Mike ======================================================= Norwegian Fjord Horse Registry Mike May, Registrar Voice 716-872-4114 FAX 716-787-0497 http://www.nfhr.com mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
