The Danes came in 2008

Edith trying her hand at driving pairs..Stein and Sakama are co-operating and showing her a good time.
Birgit has not driven for many years and her daddy would be proud to see her giving it a go. We tried to get her to publish this photo in her Danish Association Newsletter but Birgit is somewhat camera shy and refuses all photographs unless you catch her by surprize. There is not a photo taken to date that satisfies her.

Ole looks like an old pro handling this team. Good job Ole


The Danes and ourselves posing as they say good'by...l-r Meister the Kommondor, Ursula, Birgit (hiding) Edith, Ole and Brian. "Ya all come back now, ya hear?'



Bryn frolicking for the joy of her spectators




Birgit brings greetings from Denmark and talks about the fjord horse in Scandinavian countires but primarily the development of the breed in Denmark. She gave this presentation at the Moses Lake Show for all members. Thanks Birgit,


We were pleased to host some Danish Fjord Guests this year. Edith Hansen a judge and dressage rider/trainer, Ole Olsen, a senior Fjord judge in Denmark and the Pres. of the association Birgit Mortensen who is now also the vice-chair of Fjord Horse International. a BOD that Brian also has sat on for 3yrs representing Canada's CFHA, and the NFHR of North America.

We have had such fun at the annual Fjord Show in Norway over the years and being able to bring them to N.A. and show them our Fjords and what they can do, was great....they came to the PNFPG Northwest Fjord Show in Moses Lake with us to meet other breeders and owners of this marvelous breed.
