ULEND was purchased by us in Jun 2002 from Jan Bonner, whom had done an excellent job raising him from 4 months until he was 3 years old.

ULEND is a 7 year old grey Norwegian Fjord Horse stallion of exceptional character and build. He was originally evaluated as a 2 year old and received a red ribbon in his conformation test. As a 4 year old, he had significantly matured and received a blue ribbon in his conformation test at the 2003 Fjord evaluations in Ohio. In 2004, Ulend received a second level silver medallion at the La Crosse evaluations for his performance tests in Intro English Riding and Intro Driving. In 2007, he received a red ribbon in advance driving and received a fourth level gold medallion at the Herndon evaluations. In 2008, Ulend received an 81 and a blue ribbon in conformation and movement. Click here to see his averaged scores on his NFHR pedigree page.
