In the effort to get Fjords with athletic ability, the breed (in some states/countrys) may be moving in general toward lighter and lighter built stock. Howeversome of the nicest Fjords I've seeen...from the standpoint of having powerful, suspended movement and athletic abilities...have come from a combo of drafty mares and lighter built stallions. So...simply from a pure economic viewpoint...the PMU farms should use drafty Fjord mares and well-selected lighter built FJord stallions. That way they have drafty mares producing urine and quality foals to sell. (You have to assume here that the market really is for the more athletic Fjords...not so in some parts of the country, I know. You also have to assume the PMU farms are well enough organized and financed to actually market the FJord foals properly.) I certainly in no way meant to criticize the woman for saving the Fjord cross foal. I only wanted to convey my dismay at the thought that Fjord mares were being used in PMU farms. If it is only Fjord studs being used as Jean says, I feel somewhat better. However I wonder, since the name of the game as I understand it is to have a drafty mare that will provide a lot of urine. -- Steve McIlree -- Pferd Skipper -- Omaha, NE/Las Cruces, NM, USA Wherever man has left his footprint in the long ascent from barbarism to civilization, we will find the hoofprint of a horse beside it. --John Trotwood Moore Gail Russell Forestville CA [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Fjord cross PMU foals
This message is from: D T [EMAIL PROTECTED] Foalquest, the organization that the gal got her foal from, does an excellent job in saving many foals that would go to the meat market including the 3/4 Fjord x foal. Now I understand why it would be best to not cross breed Fjords and I am sad that it happens. However it happens and no one can stop that. I do hope that no one treats that gal with the Fjord x unkindly just because she doesn't have a fully registered Fjord. I am planning on adopting a foal this spring and if I can get a Fjord cross to save I will do that or any other draft x. Fjords are absolutely wonderful but so are many other horses. I can only think if I there was only one horse I could have and the choice was anything other than a registered Fjord I would take a Fjord cross. (although it could never be as cute as Lars :-) There are many, including myself, that would love to have a full-blooded Fjord but can't afford them. I got Lars because the breeder is trusting enough to let me pay him off over time. Otherwise I may be one that was hoping somewhere I could find a Fjord cross. I do hope I have not offended anyone as that is not my intention. I think the Fjord world is fantastic and will always advocate that Fjords not be cross bred. However I am unwilling to put a scarlet letter on a foal because it is only part Fjord. The part Fjord is probably the best part :-) Deb _ Join the worlds largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com
