The Fjordhorses of Bluebird Lane Fjords

At Bluebird Lane we breed and develop Fjordhorses for Sport and Pleasure. Our goal is an athletic Fjord who is well-suited to a variety of disciplines. As active 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.

We are pleased to introduce you to the members of our Fjord herd! Our herd of Fjord horses usually numbers between six and twelve individuals. Besides Mogly and our core group of mares, we generally have a few young horses we are bringing along, and some sales prospects in the works. The details of each member of our herd can be accessed by clicking the horse names on the tabs below.

About Us
Bluebird Lane Fjelljo
 

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 very successfully. At her first show, the National Spring into Dressage at Palgrave, she won a Championship at Training Level, scoring as high as 71.36%.

At the NFHR 25th Anniversary Show in Winona, MN, Kestrel was awarded the Grand Champion Mare title! We are proud of this fine example of our breeding program and we enjoy her immensely.

Kestrel produced a very good colt named Fjelljo in 2009, and is in foal to Mogly for 2011.
