Maybe we can have a feature in one of the next Heralds. Sandura belongs to Green Valley Farm and she has always been one of my favorite Fjords. She is the sweetest, kindest, horse who always takes care of you and tries her hardest. She is not the most athletic horse being a little short strided and stiff but she makes up for it with her big heart. When I showed her in introductory english I was really nervous because cantering was not our strong point but I would have bet the farm that she would stand like a statute for the lead into the arena and mount in front of the evaluators. We received a 10 for the behavior at the mount and a 7.25 for the canter. I could have worked forever and never received a 10 on that canter but I knew Sweet Sandura would stand like a statue. I was thrilled and thankful to receive a blue ribbon. My point is that it is important to know your horse and that the NFHR Evaluation system rewards good behavior as well as good movement. This years Evaluations are: Lacrosse, WI August 6&7 Fallbrook, CA Sept 30 & Oct1 If you are not bringing a horse, hope you will come and watch. Evaluations are educational and fun.

As stated in the intro there are 7 Fjords who have attained S1 G1 status which is the highest possible award in the NFHR Evaluation program. These horses have been evaluated for Conformation and have gone through both the Introductory and Advanced levels in all three disciplines. BDF Obelisk BDF Lillehammer Prydarson Penfrydd's Raynor Ram's Lindemann Sandura SNF Bergen I'm happy to say that Penfrydd's Raynor has the highest average performance scores in the Advanced tests (English riding, Driving and Draft) That makes us happy and coinsidering the amount of energy , time and cost involved, it is a wonderful accomplishment for him and us. Probably by the time the next book comes out many more horses will have reached that level so I would love to see a page highlighting those horses. Since Versatility is the Hallmark of the Breed these animals have certainly proven that, . I'm glad others are enjoying this book as much as we are. There is nothing like having a tangible in-hand book to curl up with. No computer screen can compare. Books are still the best (IMO) Ursula & Brian Jensen Trinity Fjords Box 1032 Lumby BC, V0E 2G0 Canada 250-547-6303 [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://okjunc.junction.net/~ujensen/
