We imported 1999 our breeding stock from Europe (Germany) to Canada. Of course we looked for top of the line mares and an extraordinary stallion. The pedigree of our horses shows that they descend in male or female line from the most important bloodlines of the Modern Fjord Horse (Spring issue Fjord Herald 2000 / Fjordhesten by A.M. Bakken, Gyldendal Norsk Forlag 1986).

You will find: Torbjorn 1417, Gloppang 894, Ola Gik 1703, Grabb 1651, Dyre 1059, Safir 1717, Jaermann 1788 and Valebu 1569; father to Reidulf 1664, father to the marvelous dressage horse Rei Halsnaes 1883.

To date, twenty-four offspring show that there is the best of the best in our horses. The stallion Njal 166, the Founding Father of the modern Fjord Horse, shows his "Njal-Mark" - a brown dot - on the faces of most of our horses.

Orka the stallion

He is a son of Ohlson out of Larissa (a daughter of the famous Heino who has been extremely influential in the breed) and St.Pr.St. Juliane, descendants of  Dyre, Gloppang.

Orka as well as his sire Ohlson are phenomenal movers and they pass it to their offspring.

This stallion is very athletic, has spectacular movement, a lovely temperament and is well handled and well behaved.
