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: 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: Breed Lines
This message is from: Roland Thier [EMAIL PROTECTED] Do you have a date of birth for these horses so I can tell how far the papers go back. Were they successful horses? Torbjorn is the last on the paper work for both our Fjords. Or if you know any more of Torbjorn N 1417's past that would be of interest to us. Tjorbjorn 1417 is born in 1946 with Johan Grude in Kleppe And has influenced the fjord breeding a lot. The father line is tjorbjorn blom 1163 Dragjord 1000 gloppang 984 Hakon Jarl 645 Harfager Bolsoy 509 Fremad 275 Njal 166 Fleitner 97 Skarphedin born 1879 Gange Rolv I 42 born 1874 This is as far as it goes back in fjord breeding. All fjord come from Gange Rolv I 42 I think Hope this helps you a bit. Greetings Roland Thier The Netherlands
