Re: White Markings
This message is from: Ingvild Nygaard Sveen [EMAIL PROTECTED] The new rule is as follows (translated directly from Norwegian). A small star is acceptable for mares. The star must not be larger that 5cm. (approx 2 inches). Stallions are not allowed to have any visible markings. This rule was decieded in March 2000. So if your mare's star is small, I guess you're off the hook! Ingvild N.

The Norwegians view white markings as a sign of outcrossing. As most societies outside Norway follow the rules laid down by Norway, I am very concerned about this as I have just bought a beautiful fjord who is in foal but has a small with star. I have written to Norway to ask them to prove to me that my mare has been outcrossed and have given them her pedigree details. I have always thought that any white markings are considered undesirable but acceptable. I have a photo of 4 generations of my mares family and none of them have any white markings and neither does her foal she had last year, so it does not follow that she will pass this on. Will this effect anyone else, and what do you all think of this new rule? Best wishes, Linda Bain

SV: Axel Ender
This message is from: Ingvild Nygaard [EMAIL PROTECTED] Jean Ernest [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Does anybody on this list have any information on Axel Ender an artist who has painted wonderful winter scenes with Fjord horse. I have sent several people on the list one picture I scanned from a Christmas card and have gotten back two more of his wonderful pictures. If there is a book of a collection of his work I'd like to find it! Axel (Hjalmar) Ender (1853 - 1920) was born in Asker just outside Oslo in Norway. He was both a sculptor and a painter, and his most famous work is the Tordenskiold-statue outside Akershus castle in Oslo. He also painted a lot of altarpieces, to mention a few: Molde church and Sundby church in Denmark. He is a rather neglected artist here in Norway, he never really reached up to the big ones in his time:, Werenskiold, Kittelsen,Tidemann and Gude. But his winterscenes are quite popular as christmas postcards, both the one with the sleigh in front of the cabin, and the sleigh on ice. As soon as christmas is over, I'll go to the Norwegian National Gallery here in Oslo. I know he has at least one picture there, and they'll probably have more information on books etc. I will send you a mail (private) as soon as I know more.

Re: Breed Lines
This message is from: Ingvild Nygaard [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hello Fiona! I am glad you liked my site. When a stallion is called Matador, it means it has made big influence on the breeding. It's not an official title, it's just a word we use for those marvellous horses. Both Torbjorn and Lidaren are considered matadors. Since I've already posted Torbjorn and Lidarens history here, I'll send it to you with the pictures. I don't have too much information on Felder, but I'll scan and mail you the lines about him in the studbook. (It's mainly a list over all of his offsprings, dates and mares.) To Susan: I don't know why Torbjorn and Lidaren was put down in such young ages. My sources only says it was not natural deaths. Take care!! -- Ingvild Nygaard http://home.sol.no/~snygaard/ The Fjordhorse page http://home.sol.no/~snygaard/fjord.html
Re: To the Evers
This message is from: Ingvild Nygaard [EMAIL PROTECTED] Saskia answered your questions very good, but she didn't know the word karing. This word should have an o over the a, and be pronounced kaaring. And the meaning is a stallion who is qualified for breeding. As easy as that. Your 22 year old mare Ellinor is listed in the Norwegian Studbook for 1994, and under owner it only says USA. She has a great line, with Felder, Lidaren and Oyarblakken. I think you made a very good investment. -- Ingvild Nygaard http://home.sol.no/~snygaard/ The Fjordhorse page http://home.sol.no/~snygaard/fjord.html
Re: Breed Lines
This message is from: Ingvild Nygaard [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hello Fiona!! It seems a lot of people could provide the pedigrees of Torbjørn and Lidaren. So I'm stuck with the history...:-)!!! TORBJORN 1417 Born in 1946 in Etne, Sunnhordaland. The breeders name was Johan Grude. He was raised by a (norwegian) famous (in those days..) horseman named Thor A. Kaldheim, and he sold Torbjorn when he got a 2. prize in 1950, to Gulen and Brekke hestealslag in Sogn. (Hestealslag = horse breeders club) Later he came to Nordfjord, then Indre Sunnmøre and last Midtre Nordfjord, and there he was until he was put away in the autumn of 1967. At the big show in Nesttun 1958, he got a 1. prize. (The best a norwegian stallion can achieve.) As for the charachteristics of Torbjorn, my sources says: A small stallion, with very good conformation, which is visible in all ofhis offsprings. Torbjorn is considered on of the matadors in Norwegian Fjordhorse breeding. LIDAREN 1653 is Torbjorns grandson.He was born in 1961 at Kaare Liens in Naustdal, Nordfjord. Four years old he was sold to Gloppen and Hyens hestealslag, in 1969 he was sold to Indre Ryfylke and in 1973 he was sold to Kinsarvik in Hardanger. In 1977 he was in Gudbrandsdalen and he was put away later the same year. Lidaren has two sons with a 1. prize and he had two 1. prizes himself. If anyone is interested, I have pictures of both horses. mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Ingvild Nygaard http://home.sol.no/~snygaard/ The Fjordhorse page http://home.sol.no/~snygaard/fjord.html
Re: Stallion Lines
This message is from: Ingvild Nygaard [EMAIL PROTECTED] Carol Rivoire posted a message about her stallion, Gjest's line, The Baronen line. (Carol - I have a picture of Baronen 193 if you're interested.) The Baronen line is a separat line beside the Njaal-line, although Baronen 193 was somehow related to Njaal through Gange Rolv 142 (Njaal and Gange Rolv had the same ancestor). Baronen is very seldom mentioned, because his line almost died out in 1954, when the last surviving Baronen - horse, Rein-Gust 1184, was sold from Telemark to Dale in Sunnfjord. In Dale, Rein-Gust had the 1. prize stallion Enok 1610, and this saved the line's existance. Enok went to Voss, and had his 1.prize son, Vosse Lars 1674. And all of Vosse Lars's sons, Helgaas Jarl 1764, Rodin 1799 and Brennar 1824 have sons with 1. prizes. And here's a bit that may interest Susanne: Enok 1610 was eksported to Sweden in 1970, and he has a lot of offsprings there. The reason why it is called the Baronen-line and not the Adalstein-line, is because of the quality of Baronen. The lines are named after the most prominent stallion. And altough Adalstein may have been a good stallion, Baronen was better, and the line was named after him. This goes for all the lines. Another reason is when Njaal and Baronen lived, they were the only two real fjord stallions in Nordfjord. This was under the Rimfakse war, and most of the other stallions had doelehorse-blood. (Read more about this on my history-page) As for the main-lines: In Norway there are only three lines after Njål, besides the Baronen-line. This is Bergfast 635, Haakon Jarl 645 And Oyarblakken 819. The best stallion in the Bergfast-line is Grabb 1651. He went to North America in 1980 and are probably familiar to most of you Americans. Haakon Jarl has Gloppang 894, Molnesblakken 792, Torbjoern 1417, Valebu 1569 and Lidaren 1653 as the most famous offsprings. And Oyarblakken has Dyre 1059, and Jaermann 1788. Jaermanns father, Hosar 1717 was born on my grandfathers farm. I have a rather nice picture of Haakon Jarl and Bergfast on my Fjordhorse page. If you would like to take a look at it you'll find it here: http://home.sol.no/~hansse/pic/haakonJbergf.jpg I am working on an historical rewiew (wich I never seem to finish) on the Fjordhorse in Norway, based on books and hear-say, and when it is finished, I'll put it up on my history-page. -- Ingvild Nygaard http://home.sol.no/~snygaard/ The Fjordhorse page http://home.sol.no/~snygaard/fjord.html
