This message is from: Evers <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I found this page ,http://home.t-online.de/home/fjordpferde/igf.htm & recieved this note from Eike Schön-Petersen (Secretary, IGF) Dear Tillie,
thanks for your mail and for visiting our site. We just started with our homepage this year and haven´t come around to putting it in English yet. "We" are the German Fjord Horse Association "IGF", which is the national breed representative for Fjord Horses. Our association has about 3000 members. There are about 1500 registered brood-mares in Germany. They are registered by regional associations in the different federal states. Breeding stallions have to be licenced for breeding and have to pass a performance test at the age of 5, where they are trained an tested at a central testing station for 30 days. They are judged under saddle and also regarding their disposition and stamina. We are bringing out a booklet with colour pictures and pedigrees of about 60 stallions currently active in Germany, these include almost all licenced stallions from all the major bloodlines. This booklet will be for sale in March in time for EQUITANA, the great international horse trade fair at Essen, Germany. We will try to put at least some of the information on our homepage in English in the near future! Please tell your friends about us, we´re always happy to keep in touch with other Fjord-enthusiasts! http://home.t-online.de/home/fjordpferde/igf.htm Best regards, Eike Schön-Petersen
