Canadian Fjords Do
Dressage and Jumping
By Wendy Luscombe
I wish more people would consider Fjords for dressage and jumping. What I’m going to tell you here may just surprise you!
When I first started riding dressage about twenty years ago, I rode Arabians. I managed to get to Third and Fourth level (USA levels) and Lendon Gray, twice US Olympic team member, rode one of my Arabians at Grand Prix. [Click here to read more]
Please note:
It has been decided to cancel this year's proposed Evaluation and Show. We are hoping to try again for 2013.

CFHA Farms Showcase Booklet Advertising Information.
The CFHA Farms Showcase Booklet is 5 ½ in. x 8 ½ in. two column full glossy colour booklet that will be handed out to prospective buyers at Equine Specific exhibits across Canada.
This is a great opportunity to expose your farm to markets that would be financially difficult to support on an individual bases. The Canadian Fjord Horse Association is determined to help our Canadian breeders showcase to the general public through point specific advertising mediums in a professional manner.
We will concentrate on having exhibitor’s booths across Canada where spectators are there to learn about different breeds of Equine and Equine associated issues. We will do our best to help ensure there next equine purchase is a Norwegian fjord from one of our advertiser’s farms.
The booklet allows our advertisers the opportunity to market in area’s that would be very expensive to manage on an individual bases. The booklet is designed to be appealing to prospective buyers, informative and easy to transport.
We look forward to helping you achieve your goal of marketing to prospective buyers across Canada.

GENETIC RESEARCH - Inbreeding Coefficents in Horses
Here are two links to some very interesting genetic research articles on inbreeding coefficents in horses. It is in our best interest to note how high the Norwegian Fjords are on the list. This is useful information for managing our breeding programs.

Dear Members we are educating the general public as to the versatility of Norwegian Fjords at Promotional Exhibits by showing video footage of fjords performing jumping, dressage, driving. These exhibits run for an average of twelve hours and our goal is to have enough video footage running continually in this time frame without continually repeating the same video's. If you have video footage with your horses performing at different events please put it on a disc and send it to the president of the association. The footage must not have any self advertising in it. Inother words please don't put your farm advertising information or personal contact information in the footage.
Promotion Committee Guidelines
Volunteers ensure that the Canadian Fjord Horse Associations Promotionals are successful.
