Erlend, already a proven performer and producer,
arrived at our farm the summer of 1999 from Old Hickory Farm in New York state. Notice his
versatility!
NFHR Evaluation, Libby, Montana, 2001
Even though Erlend already had been Evaluated by
Norwegian Judges Hegdal and Klove and given his breeding license, we
wanted to take him through the American Evaluations as well. As a
14-year-old stallion, he earned Silver and Gold Medallions of Quality.

Erlend is
a very sweet-tempered horse . He is a joy to handle. We are especially pleased to see that he has passed on this gentle temperament to
both foals born at our farm, KFF Vilhelmine and KFF Gra Jarl, and OH Sadie (our 7-year
old mare out of Bragda.)
For information about breeding your
mare to Erlend, please contact us at our email or regular mail address at the bottom of
any page. We give preference to mares who have been Evaluated. |
