Hi Catie!
 Welcome to the wonderful world of blond horses and Mohawk haircuts!  I 
hope you and Solvar have many happy years and tons of adventures together.

Hello!

My name is Catie Wells, and I am a new member of the fjord horse
mailing list.  I live in Huntsville, Alabama, and I recently welcomed LVG
Solvar to our family a couple of months ago.  He is a 7-year old brown dun
gelding, originally from Wisconsin.  (Hopefully, he is learning to tolerate
the Alabama summer!)

We are getting to know each other and working on basic groundwork now.  He
always gets lots of attention and admirers--and treats--since most people
are unfamiliar with the breed.  Eventually, I hope to be able to do some
trail riding and maybe some dressage.  I would love to take him to shows
and out and about so people can learn about fjords and fall in love with
them like I have.  I consider the breed to be my kinfolk, since my paternal
grandmother is Norwegian.  (She will be celebrating her 100th birthday this
September.  Long live the Norwegians!)

He has had some hoof issues since he's been here, so he is shod.  Perhaps
from the change in climate and humidity?  I am using Keratex in hopes this
will help the problem.

I am glad to be a part of this community, and I look forward to having many
fun years with Mr. Sol!
