Of course it is a lot easier when you have the database right in front of you. ;-) Yes it is the owner of dam at time of breeding that gets to use the prefix. The registration # for your filly will start with WS. You don't have to use that in her name though if you don't want to.

In keeping with the Norwegian ancestry of the Fjord Horse, the Norwegian Fjord Horse Registry requests Norwegian names be used. B. Stallions will not be allowed to have the same name. In case of imported stallions with the same name, the importer will be asked to put a farm prefix or suffix or some other addition to the horse's name. C. Names already listed in any Registry will not be allowed to change whether the Registry is in the U. S., Canada or other foreign countries. And the NFHR Registration numbering system works like this: ARTICLE III - REGISTRATION NUMBERING SYSTEM A. The Norwegian Fjord Horse Registry registration numbering system consists of four groups of letters and/or numbers. 1. First set of letters -- not more than 3 or less than 1 -- is the breeder identification letters. Imported horses are given a letter designating the country they were imported from. 2. Second set of letters -- year of birth by letter starting with 1982 as the 22nd letter (V). 3. Third set of numbers -- registration number of animal starting with 001. Mares and stallions each have their own set of numbers. 4. Fourth set of letters - S, G or M to represent Stallion, Gelding or Mare. Registration Certificates may have SG that indicates that the horse was originally registered as a stallion and was then gelded.

She was imported by Phil Prichard as a 2 year old. She really shouldn't have the MVF in front of her name but the registrar at that time decided to put it on all of the horses he imported.
