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.
