There is a very thorough article about Inbreeding, Line Breeding and Outbreeding in the Spring 2000 Fjord Herald by Janice Ashpole (a reprint, pg 29). I'm sure you receive the Herald but for anyone else, I believe back issues could be purchased through the FJ Herald, Editor Sally Webber: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I don't know if she'd appreciate me posting this =))) but hope it's okay. I had been searching through my back issues when I noticed this particular article, I was looking for an invaluable article on the identifying aspects of what makes the Fjord categorically a pony, lending them characteristics superior to an ordinary horse. For instance survival capacity; natural procreation, superior sound legs and feet, winter hardiness, powerful jaws and effective gut for low grade fodder, ability to don winter fat and fur. (ref: FJ Herald Summer 01 pg 41). I know there is one other article, that I especially relished, about additional pony distinctions, but I cannot seem to find it! AAarghhh ! (sure wish I would have cataloged articles as they came in). Would anyone happen to recall the one I mean? (and help put me out of my miserable searching) Ruthie, nw mt
