Message: | It is wonderful to have come across your website, for the first time - having owned my beautiful Norwegian Fjord for seven years, and being interested to trace his history. Living in south west Cornwall, there are very few of the breed, hence the stunning beauty of Piran, (Sandvika Serenade), is remarked upon wherever we ride together. Piran is now 26 years of age, yet remarkably, like a 5 year old, in conformation, strength, stamina, and tremendous enthusiasm for life in general. In his hey day, he was reknowned for his excellence in the show jumping arena as also eventing world - pipping everyone to the post to the extent where other competitors dreaded him turning up at an event - knowing theur chances of winning would be lessened!! His show name - Sandvika Serenade, represents the part of Norway from which he heralded, and Serenade- because this horse actually 'talks' to you! I have never witnessed anything like this before in over thirty years of living with horses. It is both hilarious, and wonderful as a true means of communication between man and horse. He shouts for his breakfast each morning, and will 'tell you off' if he is annoyed, through a deeep throaty huffing and puffing, accompanied by a shaking of his head. His strength and stamina was a t first quite disconcerting, when he first came to me, and in fact it took me two years to get him to walk, each time we rode on a grasss verge- his enthusiasm for being out and about occasioanlly getting the better of him! Even now, I find it a feat of my own strength to hold him, whilst cantering, and particularly jumping fences, or obstacles whilst out hacking. Twenty six, going on five!! I have been told that this breed lives well into old age - thirties even, if they ovbiously, are well looked after, as Piran is- his favourite Christmas treat is carrots, dipped in treacle!! Piran shares his life with a little pure Exmoor mare named 'Moo' - a rescue filly , who came to me via the RSPCA, after a press release of her terrrible sufferring in the hands of an indiscriminate dealer. Out of three hundred applicants, Moo 'chose' to live with Piran and myself, and after an inittial period of Piran bossing her about, it now is the other way around! Overall, the greatest contribution this beautiul horse provides, is my happiness, and enjoyment at seeing his own, in living. Piran never ceases to amaze me - most certainly in his state of 'old age'. He remains forever young, which is surely a true tribute to this wonderful breed. If anyone is able to help with furhter details relating to his ancestry, I would greatly appreciate it I wish you every continued success in all your ventures, and long live the Fjord!

Message: | Dear Lynne The Website is looking more and more gorgeous. After the disappointments of not finding Ausdan Opal a husband in Spring 2001 (Foot and Mouth etc) we put her in foal to a very splendid registered chestnut Arabian. In june last year Opal had the most beautiful colt foal, Max, who has Ffjord colouring, but is lighter in build, and has stunning paces (Tail up!)and has happily inherited Opals temperament, very gentle and quick to learn. Can we register him with you as a part-bred? If so would you let me know how I go about this? Whilst writing, I dont think Opal has a new 'Passport' - can you tell me what to do about this also. Look forward to hearing from you. Keep up the good work Chloe & Katie |

I suppose feeding him on 15 pounds of hard feed stud cubes per day was very silly. It was what the livery yard said to do though. They think you are wrong to suggest the lesser diet and I had a fight with them about it. I moved yards over it and it was the best thing ever. It is now four months since my problems and Thor is an angel. Thank you so very very very very much for all your help Lyn. Thor looks and behaves so fabulously he won the best condition and turnout at our christmas show yesterday. from a grateful Gina |

Message: | Our thanks to Lyn and John who, on a distugustingly wet and windy Sunday, spent their time with us unstintingly. They moved some of their wonderful herd of mares and foals into the school in advance of our visit to the stud so that we could see for ourselves how calm and uncomplicated Fjords really are. We wandered amongst twenty or thirty of them without once being barged, nipped or trodden on - the mares were relaxed and the foals inquisitive. Having previously spoken to Lyn at length on the phone, we had been convinced that the Fjord had just the temperament we were looking for so - no, we were not at all disappointed and - yes, we bought a filly! Thanks again to you both for your hospitality (despite the builders!). |

Message: | I have now had my beautiful Fjord mare Gretel for 6 months and she is continuing to charm me everyday with her kind and gentle character and her amazing ability to excel at whatever I ask of her. In the summer we won 3 rosettes at our first show and in September I took her cross-country and she jumped the 3ft course (she is very bold!). Next year I am hoping to do a long distance ride with Gretel over 3 or 4 days to raise money for a cancer charity in memory of my sister who died recently. Gretel has helped me get through a very sad year. I am glad there are so many others out there that love this breed. I am still trying to trace Gretel so that I can register her as a pure bred. She is 16 now and arrived in the UK at 5 years old with her foal Ingrid at foot. She was imported from a stud in Sweden by Jean Jackson. Hopefully one day I will find out about her lineage. Best wishes to everyone! |

I did not ever expect to find out about them but you did it and my children are delighted. My youngest, 6, said 'now they have mummies and daddies just like us. We enjoyed the show and will come again next year. We are going to have them broken to drive and hopefully we may be good enough to enter some driving classes next year. My wife has driven a dartmoor who was a little bit strong so she has some experience. Our two ladies are gentle so we have high hopes for family outings in style. Thanks again. I'm very impressed.

Message: | Well done to you for a lovely website. I have taken a big interest in fjords for many years and remember visiting the Breed Show in Dorset where I counted 41 fjord horses all in one place. It was a dream to see. Can someone tell me if the lovely fjord called Froy is Ausdan Froy. If it is, why don't you use his full name? If it is Ausdan Froy I remember him in Sussex several years ago. I know there is a part bred who looks pure called Froy. It is very confusing to people like me who follow the breed. Other than that I endorse this as a great website. Keep up the good work.

Message: | We agree with the writer from Germany. Your website is informative and good for the breed .It shows fjord horses being used correctly not only posed. The fjords working with motor cycles is very interesting. You do not need to show any more than that to tell the world about the wonderful nature of this horse. Continue with your very good promotion of fjords. Hans & Anna from Germany too. |

Message: | Your website is very interesting. The description of the history of the Fjord in Great Britain is particularly informative and well-written in the inimitable British style. You have some beautiful Fjords there and the photographs clearly show how much their riders, drivers and handlers are enjoying them. I was particularly impressed with the photos of the Fjords with the motorcycles, as it is such an excellent, graphic demonstration of the calm Fjord temperament. Best wishes for continued success and enjoyment from Reichelsheim in der Odenwald, Hessen, Germany. |

Message: | Hello Sophie, I once had a fjord with a mane like your one. There were no black hairs just flaxen ones. He was quite handsome. He originally came from Scotland in Britain and he was sold to us by a lady in Kent. Sadly he died when he was only six. The vet said he had a heredetery problem in his spine. His back started to go and in the end he was an odd shape. I have a section D welsh pony now but I look at this website when I can because I still love the fjord ponies. I hope you have lots of fun with your fjords. You are very lucky. |

Message: | Hello ! I'm a Fjord owner in France. I have 2 magnificent fjords, Fidji(Fjeller (hol)/Magalie Dieffenbach by Lars(ger))8yrs and her Son, Jonas des Vikings (Fedor/fidji),4yrs. They are both blond, ie. their dorsal stripe is not black but creamy color. I haven't seen any like mine either on web sites, or on my travels through England, Germany and France. Does anyone know of a Blond stallion in France ? I would love to breed from Fidji, but I'm not sure that the foal would be like her if the father was a "standard" fjord. If anyone would like to contact me, my e mail is the_pink_panther_is_back@orange.fr |

I am going to Norway on business next month and because of this well put together website I have decided to look for a fjord out there for my family. I'll be bringing back a trailer so it might as well have a horse in it. That horse will now be a fjord thanks to you. |

If the foals at the stud are an example of Nikk Halsnaes offspring then we are in for a treat. Thank you for the care and advice you have given to me. |

Message: | Hi, I just had to put the proverbial pen to paper and praise you for a very informative and myth dispelling website. In my mind, the fjord pony was a fat mini cart horse. My Daddy offered me one when I was a teenager and I laughed in his face. I wanted a sleek model not a slob. I hurt him deeply. He was Norwegian you see. He is dead now and that time in my life was forgotten until I bumped into your website. I read and re read every word. I looked and looked again at the pictures and then I cried. I cried and cried for my mistake. I cried for my Daddy. Then I looked at your website again with new eyes. I am proud to be half Norwegian. I am proud to have the fjord horse as part of my heritage. I love you all for this website. It has laid some ghosts and opened my eyes. My Daddy's grave has now got some beautiful yellow flowers placed lovingly around a picture of Nikk Halsnaes. I stole it from your site. I hope you do not mind my cheek. |

Message: | I have been lucky enough to be given by Aunt's 16 year old Fjord mare, Gretel. She arrived on Sunday. I had never had any experience of Fjords before and am now a great fan! Gretel is not only beautiful and kind but a wonderful enthusiastic and forward going ride. She is currently behaving like a 4 year old - having had a quiet life for the last 2 years, she is now in a new home where everything is very exciting. I can't wait to get her back into work. I checked out this site before I went to try her out and it really helped me decide that a Fjord would suit me far more than the Thoroughbred X's I had in the past. Thank you! Gretel was imported from Sweden originally - is there anyway she can be registered? She is absolutley true to type. |

Message: | Thank you Gemma for your kind comments. Yes indeed Maple Fylla IS the dam of Ffinlo whose correct title is AUSDAN FFINLO. We entirely agree that names should not be altered for the obvious reason of security but for other reasons too, but we have no connection with the Scottish site and therefore do not have authority over what they do. The correct titles of the two stallions are AUSDAN FFINLO and AUSDAN MAGNUS. The Ausdan Stud are the largest stud in the United Kingdom and their experience certainly shows in the fact, as you say, that 50% of the fjords standing in Scotland are Ausdan born and bred. The Hon Mrs Janet Kidd was a good mentor and her vast experience of fjords are reaping rewards for us all today. She was a good judge of horses and most of her top fjords were sent to the Ausdan Stud when she retired from breeding. We will inform the stud that you will be contacting them. Please do e-mail us for a registration form for your fjord mare. Thank you again. |

Message: | I would like to congratulate you on a 1st class site with informative pages. I have just as they say gone on line and have been looking at fjord horse websites as I own Marle, a 10 year old fjord mare. I was looking for a husband for her and noticed Ffinlo and Magnus standing in Scotland. On studying the breeding and time scale I notice they are Ausdan Stud fjords. I have visited the Ausdan Stud a number of years ago and also I went to a show where Maple Fylla , is it the dam of Ffinlo because if it is I saw Ffinlo as a foal in Luton, was being driven by Lyn Moran in a very impressive display with a hell of a good commentry. Can you tell me why have the stallions prefix names been dropped?I thought that names were not allowed to be changed.I belong to another society and they do not allow name changes at any price. I then came to your website and I have decided to use Nikk Halsnes at the Ausdan Stud. If the Ausdan stud stallions form 50 per cent of the stallions on hire for service in Scotland then the Ausdan stud knows what a good stallion is and is the best port of 1st call. I will contact them in May and thank you for a good introduction to websites. I will now try and see if I can go to your links page. |

Message: | THANK YOU FREDA FOR YOUR KIND COMMENTS ABOUT OUR WEBSITE. As you brought the subject up and we have had a few e-mails asking about the history, here is a very brief overview; Arpanet, which was commenced by the US Defense Department in 1969 was the fore- runner of what we have today. It was developed for research into networking. A system was then devised for allowing people involved in the research programme to put forward their ideas and comments and this resulted in the developement of the RFC. A 'request for comments' or RFC was first made out in April 1969 and is popularly accepted as the date the internet commenced. People who were non-military were allowed to use this system in the 1970's and it was in 1972 that connections outside of the States commenced. However, the internet as we know it was a long way off. There was no World Wide Web and no e-mail as we understand it today. Around the middle of the 1980's various services started to appear and in 1984 domain names were introduced. E-mail had been in existence before then but it was not standardised. The World Wide Web (www) was invented by a phisicist named Tim Berners-Lee in 1989. He worked for CERN which was the European Particle Physics Laboratory and he was keen to find a way for physicists to view and share each others research information. So,'www' was born. In those days however it was just for text. It was not until the emergence of a browser named NCSA Mosaic that graphics were possible. At that period in time the internet was brought closer to the man in the street and in 1993 the boom began as people could from then dial in to the internet from home computers. This was achieved by using a modem to connect to an Internet Service Provider (ISP) who then onward connected them to the world wide web. Prior to this the only computers which were in everyday use were owned by large organisations who could afford to hire the cables necessary to transfer data between each other. We have come a long way in a relatively short time and those of us who use this method of communications would now probably wonder where we would be without it. We would not have a network of fjord enthusiasts whom we communicate with and whom we share ideas with so easily and cheaply. We should be grateful to those early researchers every time we put this great technology into use. To all who read this - HAPPY FJORDING. |

Message: | Hi! Interesting website. I love the fjord horse. I am a computing science student and would like to add that the internet has been in existence since the early 1960's and Queen Elizabeth sent her first e- mail in 1975 so has been in England for some time. There is a good information site on yahoo if you need to know more on the history |

Message: | Friday Fiona Nicholson wrote the following about the Registry in Norway: “….. which is known to all as Norskfjordhestlag”. That for one thing is not correct. The name of the national Fjordhorse organisation in Norway is ‘Norges Fjordhestlag’, and this association has entrusted the studbook keeping to another Norwegian institution, called ‘Norsk Hestesenter’. A registrar should certainly know that! What I wrote Monday is 100 percent true. However it is interesting that Fiona Nicholson is so worried about ‘truth’. In my archives I have documentation that the following could be seen at the Scottish site some time ago: “At a recent meeting in Norway, the three Fjord horse organisations, Norges Fjordhestlag, Norsk Hestesenters and Fjord Horse International, officially recognised the Fjord Horse Registry of Scotland as an International organisation working in the UK for the benefit of the breed. The FHRS considers being recognised by the ‘mother country’ as a great honour indeed.” Nice story, ……. But the truth is that there never was such a meeting about recognition and that Norway never recognised anything Scottish. When Norway realised that such a false statement was published, they had to write to Scotland in order to have it removed from the Scottish site. And that is also 100 percent true! |

Message: | I too thank B Mortenson for that interesting look into Danish activities and for clearing up the confusion about approvals. I was told by the Scottish people a short time ago they were affiliated, approved of, wined and dined by the Norwegian national stud book in Norway. I was informed they were almost one with Norway. It is time we knew the true state of affairs. Who is approved outside Britain and who isn't. How can an individual have confidence in Norway's national breed in Britain if we don't have the facts? |

Message: | I too thought the Scottish people were joined to Norway. I took a look and it is most convincing in that direction. Tut tut. It is a clever play on words and I reckon it was meant to confuse us. I reckon it is a bit insulting to America because the Scottish people seem to be trying to pretend it is something else they are joined to. I don't see the point of being joined to anything else but Norway and Denmark but if one is one should be up front don't you think? I think the letter from B Mortensen was excellent and gave us non members a great insight into things Scandinavian. I love Scandinavia hence my interest in fjords. This website is conjoined to Denmark and the Scottish site is conjoined to America. Is that correct? GC |

Message: | Martina Benson, - I hope you read this, since I have a message for you: Enjoy your stay in Norway, it is a wonderful country with some very nice people, and if you buy a fjord horse (not a pony, please) I absolutely recommend you to register it by the Fjord Horse National Studbook of Great Britain. That will cause no trouble at all between Norway and Denmark. Norway is the mother country, but Denmark was the next country to ‘adopt’ the fjord horse. In 1931 we established a breeding and evaluation programme and in 1941 our first studbook (based on evaluations) was published. Last year we celebrated the Jubilee in many ways. In August we arranged the Nordic Championship for fjord riders and drivers together with a regional show. Altogether 171 fjord horses (from Norway, Sweden, Germany and of course Denmark) participated and together they had more than 600 entries. Today more than 10.000 mares have been evaluated during the 70 years, and in September last year we had a Jubilee evaluation with stallions, mares, geldings and foals (more than 100 fjord horses were evaluated). We had a show with almost 100 participating fjord horses. We had an international evening with 125 guests at a reception, and the next evening we had the Jubilee dinner with almost 350 participating fjord lovers. Among the many guests coming from abroad was the Norwegian Fjord Horse International chairman, the Norwegian national chairman, the Norwegian editor and many other celebrities. So you can see that we have the very best relations to the mother country Norway. But you seem to have got something wrong in your contribution to this guest book earlier this month. Norway has no fjord horse associations/studbooks affiliated, and Norway has not recognised any of the European fjord horse associations. The Fjord Horse National Studbook of Great Britain was formed in 1984 and most of their fjord horses were imported from Denmark. So it was quite natural that they asked us helping with evaluating the fjord horses suitability to enter the registers. Your idea about a ‘Scottish branch’ being affiliated to Norway is not correct and I can assure you that a ‘Scottish branch’ has nothing to do with the Fjord Horse National Studbook of Great Britain either. The best wishes for you fjord horse search in Norway this summer. |

Message: | I enjoyed your website very much and I looked at the Danish one as well. I am a bit confused on one thing. Your Scottish branch is affiliated to the Norwegian Register and your UK main site to the Danish one. Why is that please? I would have thought the Norwegian one would have been more suitable for your UK main site as the ponies come from Norway. I am particularly interested as I am going to Norway in the Summer and may bring back a pony. If I do, do I have to register it with your Scottish branch? I would rather not register in Scotland and would prefer to register it in the UK as I live in the UK. Will the main site refuse to register it because it is connected to Danish ponies. Please explain to me as I want to be sure of doing the right thing. |

Message: | Hi, I agree with the last person. I too have learnt a lot. This is a great site. I have just bought a fjord mare but she has no papers. A stallion called viking was the father and the mother did not have papers. She is quite small. She is only 13 hands. She is 14 years old. I will email you with some questions which I hope you don't mind about. best wishes Becky |

Message: | Hi, I have just noticed the other society has said they have the only son of Morten who was killed in a horrendous accident. I have an entire son too so the report is wrong. Also, I did not think Morten was killed in the accident. Why can't people get their facts right. I have had years of pleasure with my stallion who has carried me safely over many miles. By the way, what a gorgeous hunk Nick is. |

Message: | Thank you Christine for your complimentary message. Yes indeed there were two stallions at the Maple Stud. The first was Maple Viking who was by Torgul (1st class) out of Conny Osterkaer (2nd class). Viking was a small stallion only standing at 13.1 hands. His hindquarters were somewhat weak and today it is doubtful if he would be considered to be of sufficient quality to be allowed to pass on his genes to the next generation. Viking was never put through materialprove tests in Denmark and consequently he was never presented for Karing which is where he would have been evaluated. He was never performance tested in Britain before being allowed to serve pure bred mares. We in Britain at that time were not used to routine examination of breeding stock and there was no society in existence to offer guidance. Today, our stallions have to be performance tested before being permitted to stand at stud. If they fail, they are not granted a breeding licence. The Maple Stud then imported Klaus, known in Britain as Maple Klaus. He was evaluated in Denmark, the procedure which they call 'Karing'. He was graded 2nd class in 1978 and was granted a breeding licence. Klaus was a good sized stallion standing at 14.1 hands and he was kind and steady in nature. Both his sire Lyngbrix and dam Ditte were graded in 1st class. Klaus was a prolific sire and he was responsible for many offspring over the years. His influence can be seen today and he has left us with several fine sons. We hope this is of use to your daughter and if you would like further information please do e.mail us. |

Message: | To Anne & Alison. On the matter of prefixes, we of course agree. A prefix should accompany the horse throughout its life. A breeder quite rightly then gains recognition for producing that animal. If it is of sufficient quality to be approved to produce the next generation, then the breeder deserves a little bit of recognition. That is the main reason prefixes exist. Anne, re your question, we are sorry to say we do not know the answer. Perhaps if you contact the owner of the two fjord stallions, they may be able to give you an answer. We assure you we will always endeavour to proudly display a person's or stud's prefix. Thank you for pointing out the fact of the missing prefix for Ausdan Magnus and Ausdan Ffinlo. |

Message: | On the subject of prefixes, I agree with the last writer. A stud prefix should always be used alongside the animals name. It is the only way for a breeder to gain recognition for the animal he or she has bred. There is really no excuse for not using a prefix if it appears on the pedigree certificate. To do so is to in effect change the representation of the name on the certificate. On another subject, I saw a fjord in Exeter recently. I thought it was lovely. Very classic head. Thaks for a wonderful visit. Yours A. Maynard |
