Hello! My name is Catie Wells, and I am a new member of the fjord horse mailing list. I live in Huntsville, Alabama, and I recently welcomed LVG Solvar to our family a couple of months ago. He is a 7-year old brown dun gelding, originally from Wisconsin. (Hopefully, he is learning to tolerate the Alabama summer!) We are getting to know each other and working on basic groundwork now. He always gets lots of attention and admirers--and treats--since most people are unfamiliar with the breed. Eventually, I hope to be able to do some trail riding and maybe some dressage. I would love to take him to shows and out and about so people can learn about fjords and fall in love with them like I have. I consider the breed to be my kinfolk, since my paternal grandmother is Norwegian. (She will be celebrating her 100th birthday this September. Long live the Norwegians!) He has had some hoof issues since he's been here, so he is shod. Perhaps from the change in climate and humidity? I am using Keratex in hopes this will help the problem. I am glad to be a part of this community, and I look forward to having many fun years with Mr. Sol!
