| Goals
Since our farm is small, we are able to give each horse individual
attention. Every foal is imprinted and handled from birth. All our stock are registered
with the Norwegian Fjord Horse Registry and microchipped for positive identification. Our
goal is to help improve the breed by focusing on temperament, conformation, athleticism,
and versatility. |

| We also have an interest in breeding to
preserve all the colors of the Fjord, but only in excellent examples of the breed. This is
why we have added the outstanding grey stallion, MVF Erlend, and the grey mare, MVF
Kariella, to our stable. Their pedigrees are strong, featuring Lidaren, Valebu, Eggeprins,
Graaman, Karibu, and Rusten, among others. Erlend's grey daughter,
Sadie, also joined us. Our Norwegian filly, Vilde, is light brown
dun, but has all colors behind her, and is related to our filly, yellow dun Yenna. |

| We
were excited about welcoming to our
farm Vies Vilde, the number one yearling filly in Forde, Norway, 2001. Her very high
scores ( 8-8-8-9-8) and her excellent pedigree containing all five colors of dun were
strong selling points. What really made us want to take her home was her temperament.
Although she was not for sale, the Vie family was kind enough to let us persuade them to
steal her away. Her beauty and athletic ability will make her a fine performance and brood
mare. |

| Erlend earned, at age
14, the NFHR Gold Medallion of Quality. He competes in Halter, Open
English Pleasure Riding, Open Western Pleasure Riding, Open Pleasure
Driving, and Light Draft. Of his 65 NFHR-registered progeny, some still quite
young, over one third have distinguished themselves by earning Overall Grand
Championships, Medallions of Quality, 1st or A premiums, and high class placements in
Fjord or all-breed shows. Four of his daughters have earned NFHR Silver Medallions of
Quality, and one, a Gold.. |

Erlend's reputation is
such that we were asked to make frozen semen available to other countries. Thus far in his
first shipment, we have one verified foal - Yahzuo in Australia. We are now responding to
other inquiries.
