Fjord owners in the Midwest have an opportunity to have their Registered Fjords evaluated for conformation as well as performance towards the end of summer or early fall at La Crosse, Wisconsin. La Crosse is located on I-90 on the Minnesota Wisconsin border. The evaluation would be held at the La Crosse Interstate Fairgrounds. They have an indoor arena and an outdoor arena with enough stalls for eighty horses. We need from 30 to 40 horses to do an evaluation. If you have your horse evaluated by NFHR sanctioned evaluators you will find out how your horse compares to breed standards. The evaluators will score the horse's head, neck, front legs, back legs, overall, body, movement at a walk, movement at the trot, and very importantly fjord type. You can also have your horse evaluated in entry as well as advanced performance tests in draft, driving, and riding. Through this process you will learn more about your horse. You will also learn more about what you should look for in horses you may want to purchase. As a breeder you can use this knowledge in your breeding program. This is a tool to maintain and improve the overall quality of the fjord breed. Please email me privately if you are interested in bringing horses to this evaluation. We already have several horses committed. Phillip Odden
