Hi everyone! I am currently a student at Murray State University in Murray Kentucky, and in my English Composition class, it has been assigned to write an argument paper on a controversial issue. I spoke to my professor, and I have chosen to not write on a major issue discussed in the popular media, instead (and it was approved) I have chosen the topic: "Whether or not Norwegian Fjords Horses with white markings should be bred" So, being that there is such a variety of fjord owners, breeders, trainers, judges and so forth on the digest, it will then be virtually my primary source. So I need opinions and any helpful information you might have on the issue. Such as: For statistical purposes: roughly how many fjords with white markings have you encountered (no names needed, just numbers)? Simply your overall opinion (ANY information will be helpful) Any knowledge on genetics and how this trait developed. If allowed, should there be a limit (ex: white spot on head should be no larger than 1 inch in diameter)? Should the marking be taken into consideration in evaluations and halter show classes on conformation? And really anything else that you can think of. My professor does realize that we are limited on printed resources, being that it is not debated on the major media, therefore your opinions are very very important and I truly appreciate anything that you have to share! Thank you all, hope to hear from you and take care! Robin L Holland 8521 Springer Hall Murray KY 42071 815-858-4042 The FjordHorse List archives can be found at: http://tinyurl.com/rcepw
