Do you know if any stock by Boelja is in the UK? There is none. But there will be a German stallion (Joram) available for breeding in Scotland this year. See David Steward or Fiona Nicholson of the FHRS for details. Well done for getting the Tyro award preumably with the EHPS? Yes! (Endurance Horse and Pony Society) It was a ride in the Humberside region in quite flat terrain but with a lot of deep mud. Its heartening to know it wasnt just my imagination saying that Fjords had an endurance history! over here all the books all publicity blurb leads one to belive that only Arabs can go a distance. My Welsh cob has done well and is not disimialir in build to a fjord horse. Now all I have to do is some frantic saving - not easy when you allr eady onw one horse! If the foals by Joram are born in 2002 you better have you money ready! Eike Schoen-Petersen Haffwiesenhof 17375 Leopoldshagen Germany Tel.:+49-39774-20222
Fjords in Britain
Great to hear about the Fjords in Britain. It has always been a mystery to me why there weren't Fjords in Britain, at least that I ever heard of or saw. I just figured that you have so many great homegrown pony breeds, that they didn't catch on. It might interest you, Fiona, that the original source of the large number of Fjord horses in the Netherlands was Denmark, right after W.W.II. What is the address of the British Fjord organization?
