Ove Natland, who rode Fløtren during Fløtren’s Norwegian evaluations said,
“Some people look at the outside of a horse and find him beautiful. I look at the inside, which is even more important. Fløtren is as beautiful on the inside as he is on the outside.”

Who is Fløtren?
..Fløtren is one of the finest Norwegian Fjord Horse stallions in North America. He was imported from Norway as a six-year-old in 1999, by Darryl Wolford and the late Julie Will of Old Hickory Farm in New York. Darryl and Julie brought him to the United States to be their herd sire and to improve the Fjord Horse breed in North America. Now Fløtren is owned by Don and Heather Torgenrud and makes his home at Fjelldalengård in Western Montana.

Evaluation Scores
..Fløtren is one of only a few Norwegian Fjord Horse stallions in North America to have undergone the rigorous Norwegian station testing and evaluation process. His scores were impressive, both in conformation and performance, as a three-year-old and at the five-year-old station testing. His scores for performance as a five-year-old were the highest awarded that year. In this country he received some of the highest scores for conformation and movement ever given a stallion at the American evaluations.

Beautiful Inside and Out
..With his refined head and perfectly proportioned body, Fløtren is undeniably beautiful. With his animation, high action and straight-as-a-die movement he is a pleasure to watch. His high conformation and movement scores speak for themselves on these points. But that is only a part of who Fløtren is. He is a unique individual with great character.
..Fløtren has the sweet disposition that is a hallmark of the best of his breed. The Norwegian evaluators described him as “calm and easy going” and gave him 9 points out of a possible 10 in disposition.
..Fløtren has a forward attitude and loves to work. A superior athlete, he enjoys competing and with a rider can clear a four-foot jump. Tim Jedra, Fløtren’s long-time trainer at Old Hickory Farm (it is Tim you see with Fløtren in the pictures on these pages), often took Fløtren to shows to compete, jumping against much taller breeds whose riders had to admit that the “pony” was serious competition.
..Fløtren is always alert and curious and enjoys being in the middle of whatever is going on. He is earnest about his job as herd sire, continually leaving the shelter of the barn, even in snowstorms and sub-zero weather, to walk his paddock and check on the other horses.
..Fløtren is keenly intelligent and playful. At the Libby show in 2004, Tim carefully washed, shined and groomed Fløtren, then put him in his pen to await the halter class. Fløtren started pawing and acting like he was going to roll in the dirt. Tim pleaded, “No! Please buddy, don’t do it!” Fløtren continued the act, with Tim saying, “You wouldn’t!” He never did roll, but he did keep teasing Tim.
..All of these qualities--from physical beauty to a forward attitude--are the qualities that mare owners look for, and they make Fløtren the exceptional stallion that he is.
