Bluebird Lane Kestrel

by Lori Albrough

Kestrel is a home-bred mare, foaled in 2000, sired by Felix (imported from Norway) out of Roza (imported from Holland). Her dam sire is Fjelljon, born in Norway and standing in Holland where he earned the rank of Elite stallion. There are only two Fjelljon daughters in North America, and the other one (somewhat curiously) is also called Roza. Our Roza was out of a Bjorgard daughter called Lisa. This is quite an impressive dam line, with Roza’s dam, grand-dam, and great-grand-dam all being ster mares. Bjorgard himself was sired by the great Astrix and out of the Elite mare Sunngard. Kestrel was trained in dressage with Lori, and shown successfully. At her first show, the National Spring into Dressage […]

Praise ♥

Lori’s calm, confident manner instills confidence in the horses that she is training. I have never seen her ruffled or lose her temper, no matter what a horse does. Her corrections are applied and timed appropriately, therefore the horse really understands what is expected.

I highly recommend Lori as a trainer particularly for the dressage horse and the Fjord breed since she has special expertise in both of those areas.

Mission

We breed for an athletic Fjord Horse, well suited to a variety of disciplines. As participants in the sport and art of dressage, athletic ability and movement matter a great deal to us.

At the same time, as breeders, breed type and character remains our first guiding principle. This means that the horses we breed are, first and foremost, Fjordhorses.

They retain the character, the conformation, and the hardy, sure-footed, easy-keeping nature of their Norwegian ancestors which date back thousands of years.
