Yes it is a nice theory to have no crossbreds but it is a bucket with so
many
holes that you're out of water before you get to the fire.
How have you in the USA solved this problem?

I wish I could say we have solved it Gordon but that I am afraid is just
"Pie in the Sky" so to speak. The NFHR does have a rule against
crossbreeding with a penalty for it. Here is our rule regarding crossbreeding:
In the interest of protecting the genetic purity and the highest standards
of the Fjord horse, we will withdraw from the Norwegian Fjord Horse
Registry any mare or stallion that is used for crossbreeding with another
breed or species. Violators will have their membership suspended and will
lose all membership privileges including registration, transfer of horses
and any voting rights. The names of owners and horses will be placed on the
suspended list.
Here is the rule regarding inbreeding:
Inbred horses foaled after January 1986 can not be registered. This
includes: mother to son, father to daughter, brother to sister and
half-brother to half-sister.
