What a great job everyone did pitching in to make this Evaluation run as smoothly as it did! Catherine already thanked most of the folks on the last Digest, but I want to send a particular thank-you to her for her endless work and savvy. Time for the brags. Vies Vilde our 3-yr-old Norwegian mare, earned a Blue in Conformation and Movement. We were not only delighted, but very relieved, because I couldn't have faced Linda Vie if she hadn't. And then our sweet Sadiekins [OH Sadie] earned a Conformation and Movement Blue also, with a score of 85.25! What a gal! She went on to Get a Red ribbon in Advanced English, earning her an NFHR Gold Medallion of Quality. I haven't told her dad, Mr Erlend, that she out-scored him - his little stallion ego is so delicate.... On the down side, His Majesty definitely was having an off couple of days down there. Combining that with my lack of Draft experience, we scratched him from the Intro Draft test. There's always next time.... Toots [she doesn't go by her real name, Roberta], and Anne, the young women who showed our girls, did a fine job, helping me relax and enjoy watching. Will post Eval pictures of them and "their mares" on our web site soon. This was my 3rd Eval, and I have to agree with the Evaluators that the quality of horses, both in Conformation and Performance classes, keeps rising. My compliments and appreciation to all those who have made it happen by keeping the Eval program going. Bye now - Peg Peg Knutsen - Ellensburg, WA http://www.elltel.net/kffjord/
