Bluebird Lane Fjords is a Norwegian Fjord Horse breeding and training farm located in Southern Ontario, Canada.
Bluebird Lane is home to a carefully developed Fjord breeding program that has produced multiple Fjord champions, including the North American Grand Champion mare Bluebird Lane Kestrel, numerous Fjords successfully competing in open competition, as well as many treasured family friends!
How much more progress could you make in your riding with a horse who is a willing partner, well-suited to your size? How much more fun could you have? With one of our Fjord horses, let frustration become a thing of the past, and enjoy every ride!
As a rider, you want a horse who brings you joy. Perhaps you are feeling fed up with horses that are high-maintenance, overwhelm you, or that your trainer always needs to get on first. It is time to discover a Fjord Horse from Bluebird Lane!
Situated on a scenic 50 acres, Bluebird Lane is run by the husband and wife team of life-long horse people, Lori Albrough and Stefan Vorkoetter.
Our specialty is in dressage riding, and we breed versatile Fjord horses that have the conformation and movement for success in dressage and sport, with the traditional Fjord temperament that everybody loves.
Since 1997, our program has produced many Fjord Horse Champions, including the North-American-wide Grand Champion Mare, and the Grand Champion Gelding and Versatility Champion in the mid-West; numerous Fjord horses successfully competing in open competition including Dressage Canada Bronze and Silver medal award winners; and a great many highly-enjoyed and treasured family and performance horses!
Since the very beginning we have chosen to focus on quality, integrity, and training.
We built our program on three highly-evaluated Fjord mares imported from Holland and a top stallion imported from Norway. Bluebird Lane Fjords are now well-known and sought-after for their movement, beauty, temperaments, and the top-notch training that we give them. Fjord horses from Bluebird Lane can be found all over North America, in states and provinces from coast-to-coast-to-coast.
Each time we sell a horse, we talk carefully with the prospective buyer to ensure that we understand their goals and are making an ideal horse-owner match. As a result, one of the great joys of our business is the wonderful relationships we have developed with the buyers of our horses who have gone on to become good friends.
What this all means for you, whether you are looking for a competition Fjord horse, for breeding stock, or for a great all-rounder, is that we are truly able to help you achieve the results you desire, with a horse that will make your dreams come true!
And we are doing dressage with our Fjord Horses! Lori is an active dressage rider, having shown her Fjords up to Third Level with great results.
For the past twelve years, Lori has been developing her own skills in dressage by consistently working with Grand Prix riders who are both successful at the top of our sport and embody the correct principles of classical training.
The success of our Fjord horses in the dressage ring in open competition has shown that, yes, Fjords really CAN do Dressage. But if you are looking for a dressage partner of your own, you need to know that all Fjords are not the same.
Bluebird Lane Fjords are sport ponies that ride like horses, with the movement, conformation, and willingness to partner you to success in your chosen discipline. Let Bluebird Lane get you off to the right start with a Fjord that is well-suited for sport and has the correct training to make it easy and enjoyable!
A few years back I learned the Word of the Year concept.
The basic gist of the Word of the Year is, rather than coming up with the usual plethora of New Year’s resolutions for yourself (the sheer bulk of which can overwhelm you, fail to inspire you, and ultimately, make you feel like a failure) you pick one word to guide your year.
One word, one… single… word.
