| Welcome to the official website of the NFRA (National Fjord Racing Association) |
| Hello and welcome to the official website of the National Fjord Racing Association (c), managed by the greatest NFRA jockey herself, me! I am Jordan "Sits Like A Sack O' Potatoes" Couick. We are a small organization of one (1) NFRA racehorse (Rikjen, aka "Tilly"), one (1) trainer (me), and one (1) NFRA jockey (yours truly again). But we still maintain hope that our Association will grow, so Rikjen and I can race something other than our shadows. Because when the sun is behind us, we never win. TELL US MORE ABOUT THE HORSES: The Norwegian Fjord is built almost identical to the thoroughbred, except they are shorter, fatter, a different color, bigger boned, lazy, stubborn, slow, piggish, have manes that stand straight up, and when one runs it sounds like an avalanche. Other than that, the two breeds are very similar, so it is a mystery as to why the sport of Fjord racing has not grown. WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO BE A RACE FJORD TRAINER?: A high tolerance for being kicked at, bitten, checked (hockey term meaning slammed into things), basically the same things that it takes to be a NTRA trainer. WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO BE A RACE FJORD JOCKEY?: The fjord jockey is unlike any other jockey in the world. The fjord jockey must be able to handle an animal that has been known to reach speeds of up to 3 mph, and sometimes even 4 1/2 mph when there is grain involved. They must also be experienced in the science of gravity and inertia, as they tend to fly forward when the fjord stops dead in a run and decides it's tired and hungry and sick of racing. WHO ARE SOME FAMOUS FJORD JOCKEYS?: There are none. I am the only one and when was the last time you saw me on equibase.com? The cold hard truth is, the fjord jockey is not a very famous athlete. We mostly stay at home, eating microwaved macaroni and cheese, Oodles O' Noodles, and for our meat and vegetables, a nice chicken or beef pot pie. We also like the salted pretzels from the venders or the french fries from the NTRA jockey's lounge at Colonial Downs. We are not allowed to hang out in the jockey's lounge, however, because we are not considered real jockeys. At Colonial Downs, I am just a hotwalker. So you see, life is none too grand for the under-appreciated fjord jockey. WHO ARE SOME FAMOUS RACE FJORDS?: Well, there arent any famous ones of those either. In fact, there's only one. Rikjen (Tilly) just sits in a pasture, getting fat, rolling, sqealing, kicking around the other horses, and occasionally racing. You can visit her webpage in my links section, and there will be more photos coming of the both of us, so periodically check in. WHERE DO THE FJORDS RACE?: In a large pasture where there is no fencing for them to plow through and no innocent bystanders for them to run over. WHERE CAN I LEARN MORE ABOUT JORDAN?: Simple: just go to my links section and you will find my profile there. |
