Hi.  I have a story.  My name is Nancy and I am a old quarterhorse nut 
converted to Fjords this last Spring.  I leased my daughter's quarterhorse 
to a Fjord family while she is in college and I fell in love with them, the 
fjords,  at first sight.  I used the internet for fun  and took interest in 
one on a "horse-trading" farm.  I watched her all winter, took a trip to 
Canada and my husband humored me..a visit to the farm.  I saw her and fell 
in love.  He said no.  A week later I made an offer and it was accepted for 
a song., only because of no papers.  So this is my journey.   I was told I 
counldn't track her cause of her "auction and horse trader history".  Guess 
I just don't accept..."no".  It's taken me a few months but thanks to a few 
that  have given me some time I have tracked her to Armstrong, BC.  I am in 
Washington state and don't know much about up north or the Fjord registry as 
yet.  I just know I love this animal (although she can be a snot sometimeds 
like my teenager).  The man that bred her mom was named Herb Bannnister and 
he died.  This mare was with another Fjord and some other horses and went 
thru an estate sale, that's where the horse trader's picked her upto 
good to pass... Herb Bannister was a quiet batchelor and didn't keep good 
records but I have heard from a customer (long story, I own a fruit 
standsmall world) .that Herb might have bred Fjords and she may be 
registered.  I know there are some Fjord farms up north in the Okanagon in 
Washington...or does anyone know of some Fjord breeders near or in 
Armstrong, B.C.?  Is there a separate registry for Canada Fjords?  Are there 
any web sites I might be able to try?  Is there a way to track  registered 
Fjords thru DNA?  Does anyone know a Fjord owner in Armstrong?  How about 
near Armstrong?  I also think I have the name of the man that owns my mare's 
father...Neal Trenholme.  Does anyone know this man?  Guess I'm just 
throwing things our here hoping for a miracle.  Also, if I do find the 
parents and they are true Fjords, how would I go about registering her so I 
could breed her?  I know how strick the registry is to stay true to the 
beed.  I guess I am hoping that this will have a happy ending since she is 
only about 7 years old.  But...it will have a happy ending...I 
really love her  and she is stunning.  A real compliment to the breed.  
Thanks for your time, Nancy.
