I got a lovely parcel in the mail all about Norwegian Fjords.
I have the black and white drawing completed, and am moving on the
colour illustration next. A couple of questions:
1.  My horse reference books list the Norwegian Fjord as a pony,
    the pamphlets from the Norwegian Fjord Registry list it as a
    horse. I thought that there was actually quite a bit of difference
    between a horse and a pony, in bone & teeth structure, some
    behaviour patterns. Do you know why there is this double
    listing?
2.  The issue that I got was the Fall 1997 issue, the foal issue.
    By the way, I love it! I am going to keep this as a valuable
    reference tool. If anyone else has ANY interest in sketching
    horses, grab a copy of the Herald - the photos are very clear
    and have lots of poses to help you out. My second question,
    though, is that in all the photos of the foals, which are in
    black and white, their manes look quite pale, and the dorsal
    stripes and leg stripes didn't show up. Is this because the
    striping didn't show up in the photo, or because the darker
    markings develop later on?
... The early bird gets the worm; the second mouse gets the cheese.
