Hi All,
Question. What do you think about outcrossing with Fjords?? What brought
this
question to mind was an ad on Dream Horse.com for a Fjord cross named
Cooper.

I believe those old-time horsebreakers used to use a big pole in the center

I agree with Jaimie and Ruthie on this issue.
Bad owners are only part of the problem. Animals (and people of course) are

Gray is a dominant gene (no relation to the gray dun Fjord colour), so the
Percheron/Fjord cross got the gray gene from her Percheron parent. Plus she
would have received a dun gene from her Fjord parent. We don't know what

There is a lethal white factor but it has nothing to do with cremellos,
