"Saethersblakken" is and has been in the United States for some time, owned
by Janice Lee of Valley, NE
And one of - if not THE best daughter of "Ernarson" is "Janita's Ronja"
(which are pretty rare) is owned by Green Valley Farm. "Ronja" was the high
scored mare at her conformation evaluation in 1998 and is a Gold Medallion
mare.
I have nothing against importing horses, as I was privy to getting 15 of
them over here - however at some point I began to think we here in North
America have accumulated some of if not already the best of the best.
One good example is a colt I was especially fond of from Green Valley -
"Thorvald" he is by "Havstad" whom is dead, if someone can correct that
please do - "Havstad" only has 3 intact offspring - "Mosby" in Germany and
"Manus" who I also believe is dead.(correct me again if I am wrong)
Therefore ...... if one were to hunt and peck - and investigate a few
bloodlines - I betcha a guy could find the mix of some pretty amazing
animals right here in the ol' USA, oh and Canada too.....sorry.
Actually I kinda think it's about time some of OUR mixes and matches should
be looked at by the Europeans to utilize in their breeding programs. I'm
pretty proud of what we've done with our Fjords here and so should the rest
of you.
Just my thoughts.
