Thank you so much Brian for the information from an evaluators stand point on
the broken axis. I went out today after retrieving my son's angle gage from
his shoeing rig and measured nine fjords we currently have here,

Dear List from Brian Jensen;
Coon footed is the extreme form of broken axis. This

Susan Giargiari and Lori Albrough bring up a very good point about
broken axis. For most Fjords, the hair growing over the coronary band
can easily look like the horse has a broken axis. That is why you will

I don't know that I've ever seen a horse with a broken axis or if I did I
didn't know it was a broken axis. Anyone got any pictures at a website they
can post? Is it that the "line" through the

I agree. Norwegian evaluators know conformation and pastern angles are part
of that. I wanted to respond to the comment about seeing a Norwegian
stallion in a photo and he exhibited a broken axis. I had an experience a
while back, I used to do Julie's web site and
you'll never know!!was walking around the stalls..I asked the
judges opinion of my horse...it was a young one...and he said it was great
..except for it had broken axis on it's front feet.I didn't reply as
the judge went on to some other points..and

see it as a defect.)
I did a bit of research on "broken + axis + pastern" and found it does
predispose horses to various nasty sounding problems, depending upon whether
the axis is broken forward or broken backward. Not sure which Viktor has.
Could it be that the Norwegians use
ures and one of them had it, they still placed him up there
My feeling is, if the judges are telling you you have a problem and time,
feeding, training are not gonna help it, listen to the judges, take their
advice. Viktor was looking good, really good for a young 2 yr old! If it were
