We have been breeding and training Fjordhorses for over thirteen years. Luckily we made the right decision from the very beginning and started out with the very best in quality! We built our program on three mares imported from Holland and a top stallion imported from Norway. As a result, Bluebird Lane Fjords have become well-known for having wonderful movement, beauty, brains, and temperaments.

Fjords from our breeding and training program can now be found all over North America, including MN, WI, MI, CA, CO, BC, ON, NY, VT, NJ, SC, ID, NM, and MA. If you are getting started in Fjords and are looking for the type of quality needed to build a foundation for your very own breeding program, put our experience to work for you!

We have the facilities to train with our horses all year round, and we enjoy competing our Fjords at both the local and the national level. Lori and her Fjords have earned both Bronze and Silver Achievement Awards from Dressage Canada!

If you are looking for a Fjord dressage partner, let the experience of Bluebird Lane get you off to the right start with a Fjord that is well-suited to the sport and has the correct training to make it easy and enjoyable!

Lori enjoys the opportunity to develop each horse as an individual, and training them in such a way that the horse can express him or herself through their work. Lori's goal is a horse that wants to work with the rider, a partnership based on mutual understanding.

Here are some pictures of just a few of the equine "super-stars" we have enjoyed partnerships with.

We were thrilled to have the word spread about Fjords in dressage. Thanks DT!

Accordingly, each of our mares was chosen for her exceptional qualities in conformation, movement, breed type, temperament, performance, and pedigree. We only breed the type of quality Fjord mare that we ourselves love to ride, drive, show, and enjoy!

Our mare band includes imported daughters of such top European stallions as Myrstein, Halstor, and Ostar, all with champion predicate dam lines.

We believe in the value of proven pedigrees, and you will see this in the quality of Fjordhorse we produce.

Our Mission We breed for an athletic Fjord Horse, well suited to a variety of disciplines. As participants in the sport and art of dressage, athletic ability and movement matter a great deal to us. At the same time, as breeders, breed type and character remains our first guiding principle. This means that the horses we breed are, first and foremost, Fjordhorses. They retain the character, the conformation, and the hardy, sure-footed, easy-keeping nature of their Norwegian ancestors which date back thousands of years.

Our Guiding Principles     The Fjordhorse must be true to type.     Its conformation must be functional and its use versatile.     It must have a good temperament and be hardy and sound.     We must keep the Fjordhorse purebred...     Preserve the original colours of the breed and the primitive markings, and...     Avoid white markings which are not typical for the breed.
