Meet a Fjord Horse Program
The public is invited to “Meet a Norwegian Fjord Horse” at at Sons of Norway located at 317 South Page Street in Stoughton on Wednesday, September 11, 2024. The program will begin at 7:00 PM. The Norwegian Fjord Horse is one of the world's oldest and purest breeds. It is believed that the ancestors of the modern Fjord horse migrated to Norway and were domesticated over 4,000 years ago. There are over 8,000 Norwegian Fjord Horses registered with the national registry today; with the greatest number of registered fjords residing in Wisconsin, Washington and Minnesota. Learn about the legendary Norwegian Fjord Horse, the dorsal stripe that runs down their back, and their distinguished arched mane. Fall in love with their exceptionally good disposition and understand how this small horse with a big heart continues to achieve success in many diverse equine disciplines. Come meet a Norwegian Fjord Horse in person! Karen and Stuart Hanson, both natives of Stoughton, have been breeding and raising Norwegian Fjord Horses since 1998 in Edgerton, Wisconsin. They have been competing with their fjord horses in pleasure driving shows and combined driving events since 2017. The Hanson’s presently have 17 fjord horses of varying ages at their farm. Refreshments will be served! Everyone is welcome and no reservations needed! The horses will be outside so part of the meeting will be outside. We are blocking off parking in front for the truck and horse trailer! Please contact Darlene Arneson at arnesonfamily5@gmail.com or 608-873-7209 for more information. Mandt Lodge is handicapped accessible with a lift located on the south side of the building. There is parking on the street, public parking lot behind the Stoughton Senior Center, or in the Livsreise parking lot if their building is closed. We always encourage you to bring donations for the Stoughton Food Pantry! The public is always welcome at Mandt Lodge!
