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.

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.
