This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hello all. I just wanted to let you all know we went to the evaluation on Friday in Fallbrook, Ca. I brought three very young horses. I brought 2 colts 14 and 15 months old and a young filly 16 months old. I had know idea what I was doing! I was very nervous and did not know what to expect. The Vestlandshest Fjord horse club could not have done a better job in putting on an evaluation. They were extremely helpful. Thurs. night there was a gentleman from the Danish fjord horse registry there who told us what to do and what to expect. His son Kent gave us a demonstration and his daughter translated for us. Phillip Odden and Hank Nors was also there to help us with instruction. They made everyone very comfortable and relaxed to exhibit their horses. Friday was the day of the evaluation. Everyone was so relaxed It was amazing! I was already to exhibit all three of my horse by myself when a wonderful Danish gentleman by the name of Henrick volunteered to help me. He did a great job and I owe him a world of thanks! Thank you Henrick! He is much younger and can run faster. The evaluators took time with each horse to point out the good things and of coarse the things we did not want to hear about our perfect horses. I am glad they took the time out for each horse. It would have been time well spent with or without a horse. The information I learned about the fjord horse will make me a better breeder and owner. I need to thank all of the people who participated in putting on the evalutaion It was very obvious that everyone worked very hard to make it a very relaxed and educational event. I hope to see everyone at up and coming fjord events. I need to also say one more thing! I meet the nicest people there. There is something to be said about fjord owners! WOW, what a great bunch of people. Kathy
