Carol, When I was in Norway last year I asked Tor Nestass about the
trotting times. He said the fastest time was 2:12, but I don't have the
horse's name or the date, and certainly without full info we can't consider
it gospel. Maybe Ingvild

How do you keep cars running: engine block heaters?
Cars are winterized here with the installation of block heaters, battery
heaters and cold weather lubrication. (Dealers charge an extra $200-$250 to
do everything.) Also Antifreeze,

I was told by someone on Ingvild Nygaard's fjord net that skjevets were
throwbacks to when the fjords were crossed with the Dal horse to revive the
numbers of Fjords. The skjevets were considered not pure and unregisterable
according to todays standards.

Most definitely, although I suspect horses here are treated with a
great deal more kid gloves than they would be in Mongolia. Remember
Gengus Khan (sp.?).
Plus People For Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) would also

really extreme temps. I know for certain that

But my question to you
Fjord people is --do Fjords take longer to mature strengthwise than other
breeds?
Yes, Yes Yes, they do take longer to mature! Bjorken was still growing at

Mary, why I asked about temps and humidity is that the rule of thumb with
the endurance vets is that if you add temps and humidity, and the total is
150, you are in the zone where you need to be very careful about stress.
Even with a low temps,

Some folks may not be aware that the Fjord horse, although a symbol of
Norway, is not the most common horse. The trotters vastly outnumber them.
