I am not sure at this time how many volumes it will be. I am guessing at 2 - 3 anyway. There are over 2200 horses registered now. After the original studbook are produced I think it will probably be printed on a yearly update basis. Mike

Re: Chin hairs
This message is from: Mary Thurman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Beth, Regarding burning chin hairs, I saw it done by Mr. Von Bon yesterday at the get together at Creekside Farm. It is done with a 4" candle (fat candle), and you do actually burn off the hair under the horse's jaw. Not the hairs on the lower lip or nose though - too dangerous for the horse, plus they need them for eating. Anyway, it looks scary and smells like burned hair but the horses get used to it and I suppose you would get used to doing it, but I would not want to try it in any way but under the close supervision of someone who know what he is doing. It does produce a very nice clean look without the lines and "shelves" you get from using scissors or clippers. It was an interesting demonstration everyone agreed, but I didn't hear anyone too anxious to "try this at home", although I suppose some will. Hope this satisfies your curiousity about burning chin hairs. May == Mary Thurman Raintree Farms [EMAIL PROTECTED] _ DO YOU YAHOO!? Get your free @yahoo.com address at http://mail.yahoo.com
New Stud Muffin...
This message is from: "Jon A. Ofjord" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hi to All: This is another birth announcement. Our mare, Sylvi, foaled on Tuesday night at about 2:30AM. A very tall stud colt who weighed in at around 120LBS and stands a hair short of 40"(That's almost 10 hands high!) This is our first colt. He has two half siblings, both fillies to keep him in line. He doesn't have a name yet, but he has a lot of pizazz! Mother and son are doing fine. Owners of the horses are pooped! Mary Ofjord North Coast Fjords Grand Marais, MN
Re: Fjord Mare for Sale - Sebastopol
This message is from: Gail Russell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Saw this horse in the Santa Rosa CAlifornia newspaper (Bay Area) and could not resist asking. The telephone number is 707-824-0229. Asking price is $6000 "Serious Inquiries Only" Thought there might be someone out there who is interested. Dear Gail, Cinnabar's breeding is the following: her sire is Solar, a wonderful Fjord stallion from Norway, standing currently in Vermont with Lindsay Sweeney. Her dam is my mare, Yvonne, a Dutch Star mare whom I imported 10 years ago from Holland. I am the one who bred her dam (AI) to get her, so I have had her literally from day 1. She began training, long-lining, initially in Texas where I lived. The man who started her was very good and gentle. After that she pulled a quasi-cart made out of PVC poles and then graduated to a training cart that seated 2. He drove her quite a bit and then began riding her. She was actively worked her first 3 years in TX, but since I moved to my place here almost 3 years ago, she has not been ridden. She is handled daily, in and out of barn every evening, grooming, feet, blacksmith, etc and is very gentle and good tempered. I had her in training briefly again this Spring with Vivki Wall here in Sebastopol. I was amazed at how well she did after that long hiatus. I no longer ride due to my bad back. Her registration number with the NFHR is PCC-E-489-M. She has never been bred. Her conformation is good and correct and she is more refined, not the heavy, drafty type of Fjord. Give me a call at 824-0229 to meet her. Julia Gail Russell Forestville CA [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Stallion Lines
This message is from: Arthur Rivoire <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> This message is from Carol Rivoire at Beaver Dam Farm in Nova Scotia I was interested to read Susan's message from Sweden regarding the Stallion Lines. As far as I understand it, our stallion, Gjest, represents a separate line, and one that is unique in that it's a straight father to son line from the foundation stallion, BARONEN. This was told to me by B. J. van Bon, Chief Inspector of Fjords in Holland, and I've also seen it illustrated in his book, "Van Vestlandhest tot Fjordenpaard." The line starts with the stallion, Adelstein 149, and goes to his son, Baronen 193. I don't know why it's listed with Adelstein before Baronen, since it's usually called the Baronen line. After Baronen, comes HAKON 302. Is this the same Hakon Susan refers to as father of the 4th line in Sweden? After Hakon is Rapp 671, then Lervikblakken 791, Kong Ola 895, Rein Gust 1184, Enok 1610, Vosse Lars 1674, Helgas Jarl I 09 (Dutch #) -- Helgas Jarl is the sire of Gjest. Then Gjest I 49 (Dutch #), then Gjest's son, Fjellwin F-74. Then to follow this line in North America, there's BDF Kanada King breeding in Washington, and BDF Malcom Locke breeding in Ohio. I've heard talk that the NFHR is working on a studbook. I hope that will be available to us soon. Regards from Nova Scotia.

This message is from: Ingrid Ivic <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hello Anton V., > However, the > fluffy hair under the chin and on the legs does interfere with the > general appearance. > Thankyou for the information Anton, I was curious about this. I see...it's purely a "cosmetic and preferential thing" to do then. Interesting procedure. Is this something people mainly do for horses they show? Personally, mine don't have their whiskers, ears or legs clipped, but then I don't show. I do cut the mane in the traditional arched/crescent shape, but that's it. Other than that, they are "ala-naturelle". Ingrid :o)
Norwegian Fjordhorse tribes
This message is from: "Susanne Grönqvist" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Here comes rainy greetings from Sweden. I´ve asked before, but there seems to be a very small interest in tribes and family trees. All my free time, I spent doing family trees on different fjords. Did you for example knew that there´s only four stallionlines all over the world in the fjordbreeding ?? And how did it become like this ? I think this is very interesting, because it must have been more than one stallion in the beginning. The stallion which is the"father" to all four stalliontribes is called Njaal N 166. And his great grandfather is Gange Rolv I N 42. And the four lines is; Bergfast N 635, HÃ¥kon Jarl N 645, Ãyarblakken N 819 and HÃ¥kon ( Can´t remember his number right know ). Here in Sweden, the most common line is HÃ¥kon Jarl, and the rarest Ãyarblakken. Of the 30 stallions we have in use right now, I think it´s just 2 or maybe 3 who´s the Ãyarblakken line. When we started our breeding here in Sweden in the end of the 1950´s, we imported stallions and mares from Norway. And most of the stallions were back then Ãyarblakkenline. Which lines do you have in the rest of the world ? All of the four ? Mail and tell me ! This can be a very interesting discussion !!
