I looked it up on the USIHC horse search, it is interesting, these lines have both been in the US for several decades. I am not familiar with the line on the sire's side at all, that is interesting though, that they have been in the US so long. I think one of mine is somewhat related through the sire of Lysa fra Norregaard, Snaefaxi from Hredavatnskalli, well he is actually related to that stallion on both sides:) I would really think it's too distant to really know, I would guess more traits would come from his parents. Maybe someone else knows more about that. I only recall hearing a couple of things about a couple of stallions and I don't see any of those here, that doesn't mean I do know though. Generally, I would just look at the horse in front of you, have her hocks x-rayed, spend time with her in person, check out her gait, and see if it's a match for you. Kim
