This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi Mike,
I am a little confused by the list you printed since I know of other horses that are first premiums and are not listed, my mare Eivy is one example, did she not come up because she is listed as a (ster) or star mare? Although Velsigne was listed and she also was a ster mare. You can make a note however that she is now deceased as she was one of the casualties of last winter. I had to put her down because of a broken leg, she was in foal. I think it was the hardest thing I have ever done. Her son Soren was the second young horse to die from the botulism poisoning, so Ursula you have the last surviving son of this exceptionally beautiful mare. Brian Jenson has her last filly. Anyway, all ster mares or geldings are first premium horses in addition they have been judged (this is in the Dutch system) to be in the top half of the class in a class made up of only first premium horses, and have gotten an A on one of the three performance tests. So any list of 1 premium horses should include all ster and model mares and geldings Anyway, its extremely nice ofyou Mike to publish info from the Registry records. Its nice to know how accessible that info can be now. Thanks for all your hard work. Now that I am crawling out of my cave , I guess I better get up to speed with the Registry. I will be in touch with you soon. Thanks C.
