Hi Erik-

Thanks for all the interesting reading. I too have spent many a night surfing 
the web in search of info on the most interesting of subjects ... the Fjord 
horse! A couple comments:

1) There are "striking similarities" between the texts of the various web 
sites because the authors often paraphrase eachother. One webmaster writes 
something, the next copies it, and the next, till it's taken as fact. 

2) DNA technology has shown that the Taki aka Przewalski Horse is not only 
unrelated to the Fjord, it is unrelated to horses in general. It has a 
different number of chromosomes and is considered a sub species. The similar 
build and coloration are a result of evolving (or being created, however you 
see it) to thrive in a harsh cold climate.

Keep up the research!
