Nothing says summer like 700 bales of sweet-smelling first-cut hay neatly stacked in the barn!

NFHR Annual Meeting

by Lori Albrough

Here I am at the Norwegian Fjord Horse Registry’s annual meeting held in Norco, CA.

I was there to present a talk entitled “Mathematical Accuracy of the NFHR Evaluation Scoring System”.

The subject of precision versus accuracy – in the mathematical sense of the terms – is a hugely important one that is becoming widely recognized in the judging of horse sports. This recognition is happening at all levels, right up to International Championships and Olympics.

My challenge was to present the math in a way that every layman could understand. Thanks to everyone who told me I succeeded! I definitely had a blast doing it. I was harkened back to my University days as a TA for Engineering Math.

Being in sunny California for four days in February, and connecting with Fjord friends both old and new, made for a lovely winter interlude.

Mogly’s First Offspring Born in Australia

by Lori Albrough

Happy news from Australia! Welcome to Mogly’s first offspring in Australia, born on January 12.

Knight’s Hill Kristoff is a lovely colt out of the mare Yrsa. In these pictures he is about 12 hours old.

Australia has a very small population of Fjords and we are thrilled to have Mogly play a part in adding quality and diversity to Fjord genetics in Australia.

And somehow it’s even more fun to see photos of a lovely new Mogly foal when we are buried in snow here!

Congratulations on Kristoff’s successful arrival to his owners.
