I think the one time production of such a dvd if done professionally, would be worth the value of a couple horses to the future of the breed and a great value to the NFHR. After all it is a one time thing, and the cost could be recouped with the sending out of the video application packet, maybe $100 bucks a horse or something like that. I still don't think some people will go to the evaluations with more evaluators, unless they are maybe within a hundred miles or so. There is more to the question of why people don't go to the evaluations. For me and many others I think it is maybe fear of not knowing what or how to show the horse properly. I think once I was to one to break the ice, it would be easier after that and I would probably go to several. It might also be good for me to go to a mock evaluation if such a thing exists to prep for a official evaluation.

How much does the professional film crew cost vs. an evaluator? Isn´t the answer: more evaluators, more evaluations rather than making movies? In the comparatively crowded and concentrated scenario of central europe we are used to take the stallions several hundred miles to their performance tests. Even with foals we are used to travel 150 miles. I´m setting off for the US (New Mexico), hope the weather is a little nicer than here - we are about to another blast of Siberian perma-frost! Eike
