I too offer my congratulations on
a super site. One thing though. I looked at
the other website and I noticed the
stallion Magnus advertised at stud. Is
that the one I saw as a foal at the Ausdan
Stud some years ago? I notice it
does not have a prefix and the others do
yet its pedigree is Ausdan. The
little stallion Viking has a prefix. Maybe
you could explain please. I breed
cats and we have a prefix I also breed
ponies and use my prefix. If an animal
is good enough to use its breeder should
be recognised don't you think? Do I
detect a little bit of spite? Not good for
the breed don't you agree?

I loan a Norwegian fjord called
Rolo and am trying to find out some of his
history. He currently lives in Hillingdon
in Middlesex and I know the owner of
the yard bought him from a riding school
in the South which also had another
Fjord for sale. He is now about 16 years
old - and unfortunately this is all I
know! Does any of this very small amount
of information ring a bell with
anyone?! I spent a year at the National
Fjord Horse Stud in Norway and have
been soooooo fortunate to find one of
these amazing horses in the UK. Thanks
for a great site - and any help you may be

Some years ago, we purchased a
fjord from Kevinclathder Stud in Wales. We have
had great pleasure from her and love her
dearly. We had her checked by the vet
and we wonder if he is The Cyber Vet
everyone is talking about. If he is, he
was ever so dishy. We would love to see a
photo of him to see if he is the
same one and if he is he will remind us of
our start with fjords. We have a
picture of Lyn with Gemmie which has pride
of place as the first one in our
ever growing album. We are not allowed to
ride at present because of the foot
and mouth but we are still enjoying our
horsey activities. We are spending

Yet again we find ourselves having
to intervene because of inappropriate use of
this guestbook. This miss-use has also
resulted in a formal complaint being
made regarding the content of some of the
messages. We cannot constantly censur
the guestbook, and we cannot of course be
responsible for what others place on
it.
With the country in the grip of a farming
crisis it is a pity that these people
cannot put their efforts into something
more worthwhile than trying to score
points by putting provocative messages on
a public guestbook. What must the
Fjord fraternity look like to others? We
are sure that Gladys Williams voices
all our views concerning the very real and
worrying time the farming community
are facing. Let us all spare a thought and
a prayer for them. The majority of
the country is rallying to do their bit,
and with the 'horse-world's' close
connections to agriculture it is even more
important that we take it seriously
and be seen to be taking it seriously.
Even events unconnected with farming
are being cancelled in the hope of helping
a little.
We suggest that those of you who waste
your time, and ours, with these silly
antics, divert your energies into helping
in any way you can to stop the spread
of this terrible virus.
We will leave the two messages on the
guestbook, (others have been removed),to
illustrate the point, and explain why this
statement has been issued.
We implore these people to stop using this
guestbook as a battleground.
Please, as stated previously, do something
useful instead. You will find
comprehensive details of what our country
is going through, the nature of the
virus, and what you can do to help, on
this website. DO take a look, just go

I often take a look at this site
before work and have been fascinated by the
rude and offensive, often doubled meaning
messages left by people who bear all
the hallmarks of initially, jealousy and
following on, the trapped in a corner
syndrome. That is my opinion of course. I
am interested in statistics among
other things and have been studying the
Norwegian Fjord horse stallions in
England, Scotland and Wales. It is
interesting to note Ausdan Stud, who have
been the subject of so much debate it
seems, are responsible for almost all of
the stallions standing in these isles of
ours. A very important stud it
appears to me and one worthy of
congratulations and thanks. It also seems to
me that it expresses no jealousy of its
own, as it has distributed its
stallions among other studs and not kept
them within its own ownership or worse
still, gelded its surplus. That ought to
be some large chunks of food for
thought among those of you who appear to
wish to destroy this fine breed of
animal and you surely will as the public
at large will not like what is is
seeing. Noble as the Norwegian Fjord is,
there are a great number of other
ponies equally beautiful within our
islands. You should be grateful to the
Ausdan Stud and openly thank it . You
'enjoy?' the horses you have today,
largely due to the work of that stud. Just
my humble observations.

To Timothy
To answer your questions, when our
Secretary Lyn returns in the week we will
ask her about Frivolity for you.
Yes the Ausdan Stud is going strong and is
bigger than ever. It has several
stallions and is importing another soon .
Its herd of mares have 80 acres of
beautiful countryside to cavort in and the
foals in the summer are a beautiful
sight. Many of the mares are descendants
of some of the best from the Maple
Stud and others are of new lines. The
Ausdan Stud also has land overlooking the
sea which is where the stallions go on
holiday from work and stud duties. It
also uses it's other name of Cilyblaidd
Manor and the Society Offices are
housed in a part of its estate.
The Maple Stud was indeed disbanded due to
the death of the great Mrs Janet
Kidd without whom Fjords would never have
gained the momentum they did in our

Society Office - Thank you for
confirming the information about Maple Acorn and
for updating me about the society vet, Dr
Kold. It is amazing to think that it
was ten years ago since Dr Kold moved on -
time passes so quickly! Does the
society office not know what became of
Maple Frivolity by Nils? She was such a
marvellous creature and a real favourite
of mine. It is very sad indeed that
the Maple Stud no longer breeds these
marvellous ponies anymore and that all we
are left with are the memories of how
things used to be. I remember that Ausdan
Stud at one time used to breed many
fjords, but alas we never see or hear about
Ausdan stock these days. It would be nice
to know if Ausdan Stud, like the
famous Maple Stud, is now also defunct. |

Timothy, you are right about Maple
Acorn. We are preparing some interesting
information for Amy on the subject which
we are sure she will enjoy.
Dr Kold was an excellent Society Vet and
his Danish roots certainly helped the
society in its early years. He grew up
with fjords in his midst and taught us
many things.When we asked him to judge a
class, those classes were always
bigger than usual with the emphasis on
female handlers. In the early 90's he
went on to specialise and his place was
taken by Mike Daniells M.R.C.V.S who
did a sterling job for us. Our present
Hon. Veterinary Surgeon, Jeremy Jones,
reminds us of Dr Kold in many ways. Even
down to the 'Fan Club'.

Amy - I know the mare Maple Acorn
was by Maple Viking ex Maple Mermaid and was
owned by a family called Hoskins. If I
recall correctly, she was unable to
have offspring, but the society office
would know more about this. Am I correct
in thinking that her full sister is Maple
Mermaid 2, who must be getting on for
twenty-four years old now? I remember Dr
Kold M.R.C.V.S was very taken with
Maple Acorn at an early breed show at
Maple Stud in Surrey. By the way,
whatever happended to Dr Kold, who was so
actively involved with the society
until a few years ago? Finally, I was
thinking recently of a mare called Maple
Frivolity by Nils. What did become of her?
Is she still alive and well? |

Yes indeed we can tell you all about Maple
Acorn. You will be pleased to know
she is registered with our society and has
society papers which of course stay
with her for life. We will e.mail you with
further information and maybe even
a picture of her from her past.

a Norweigen Fjord pony. She is 18 years old
adn i was wondering if there was any way
you could trace her parents. Her show

she that is her birth name. I heard she
came from a big Fjord stud but if you find
any information on her or her
ansestors i would be very grateful. If you
don't have the facilitys to do this
i would be equally gratefull for some
information about how to find her roots.

you is that she was born april 1982 |

Earlier this week I noticed on
your GuestBook that Sofia from Sweden was
looking for a penpal, but see her message
has been removed. Do you still have
this message with the e-mail address? If
so, is it possible to put it back on
the GuestBook as I would like to write
her. |

Great site. In the USA we have
several associations. Very confusing for us.
Great to see just one in the UK and a very
good one too. I am coming over in
June and it would be just great to see
some fjord ponies. I will get in touch.
good luck

Great website. I love the history
and the insight into the people who started
the society. I have a fjord with missing
papers but she is beautiful anyway.
I have just moved to England so I will
e.mail you details and hope you can help

The fjords you saw were almost certainly
owned by Paul & Fiona Hardy. If you
e.mail us we will forward it to Paul for
you and you can then have a chat to
him.

re:mary derhams letter oct 28th
2000, I have a fjord cross by Maple Viking and
he is 15hands, large but no coarseness and
really the most handsome horse in
the area so i think someone was maybe
wrong about the breeding of the animal
you saw,but i will say you need to be a
special person to own a fjordand your
life will never be the same again !!!
great site glad i revisited |

To the Association Office
I was going through a small village in
West Sussex recently, and I saw the most
beautiful sight. I saw four fjord ponies
in a field and they looked so
beautiful. Could you tell me any more
about them as in my minds eye they are
now unreal. Thank you by the way for a
super and informative website.

THANK YOU ANDREW FOR YOUR KIND
THOUGHTS. JUST ONE TEENY THING THOUGH. WE AT
THE SOCIETY OFFICE DO NOT KNOW WHO YOU ARE
SO WE FEEL THAT WE SHOULD PUT YOU
RIGHT ABOUT OUR SECRETARY LYN MORAN. SHE
IS INDEED A TREASURE AND HAS A
BRILLIANT AND FAIR MIND. WE THANK GOD (AND
FJORDS) FOR HER. SHE HAS HOWEVER,
NEVER FELT LIKE GIVING UP. THERE HAS NEVER
BEEN ANY REASON FOR HER TO EVEN
(THANK GOD) CONSIDER IT. GIVE UP WHEN
THERE ARE BEAUTIFUL FJORDS AROUND? NOT
LIKELY ANDREW. MAYBE YOU ARE THINKING OF
SOMEONE ELSE.
ALSO, WE HAVE NOT GOT A CLUE WHO JENNIE
AND ANGIE ARE BUT THEY APPEAR TO BE
SWEET CARING PEOPLE AND SO WE THANK GOD
FOR THEM AND EVERYONE WHO CARES FOR
FJORDS AND FOR PEOPLE. A NURSE IS SOMEONE
TO BE TREASURED. OUR SECRETARY IS
SOMEONE TO BE TREASURED. A FJORD IS AN
EQUINE TO BE TREASURED.
THANKS FOR YOUR SUPPORT ANDREW.

Having read the comments made by
Jenny and Angie from the hospital, I too agree
that Lyn Moran deserves a special mention.
Over the years Lyn's efforts have
achieved highs, but also lows. I am sure
that Jenny and Angie have been a
great support to Lyn during such down
times and I have no doubt that their much
valued friendship has made life easier
when Lyn felt like giving up. I am sure
you will agree with Jenny and Angie's
comments that Lyn and her partner John
are indeed blessed - thanks for pointing
it our girls! Wishing one and all a
a happy 2001. |
