Unfortunately, the 1990 copy of the NFA stud book only lists NFA horses that were alive in 1990---each with its 3-generation pedigree. So, Buck C-34 (a Canadian-registered stallion) isn't listed directly---only mentioned in the pedigrees of his decendants (like my gelding, Trondleif, aka Sleepy). Likewise, King Harald 101-A isn't in the 1990 NFA stud book, despite being the first NFA-registered horse, with many descendants, because he died circa 1985. It is interesting to compare Sleepy's "official" pedigrees from NFA and NFHR. Sleepy goes back thru Andre 221-B to Prince C-39, who is Buck X Thora. NFA lists Buck C-34 as being by Solvfast, out of Brunhoppe; Thora 2052-A is listed as Sanko X Unknown. But, NFHR shows Prince's parents as Buck C-34, who is Sanko X Purdy-mare and Thora C-36, who is Solvfast X Purdy-mare. (Mike May told me that was what the Canadians had in their records, and NFHR follows their lead.) Methinks Mike is in for some "fun", when it comes time to merge the NFA and NFHR registration records! But, at least the NFA records should fill in many (but not all) of the "Unknown"s in various NFHR pedigree pages (mostly info on birth dates and breeders). Anyway, there is no "Buck #Fs2743" in the NFA studbook. NFA numbers started with 101 for stallions (and geldings) and 2001 for mares. NFA numbers end in -A (foundation stock) or -B (born of already-registered parents). So, Fs2743 isn't an NFA registration number. Maybe FBA? Several years ago, there was an article in the Fjord Herald about Buck C-34. (Had to be before 1998, as I mentioned it on this list, back then.) At that time, he was about 27, had been gelded, and was living out his retirement as a pasture pet. How old are those horses that "Buck #Fs2743" is supposed to have sired?
