Hello, this is Anton Voorhoeve from Fjord Horses of Narnia on
Saltspring Island, BC. Though perhaps most of you are aware from the
considerable amount of advertising we have placed in the Fjord Herald
and PNWFPG Newsletter, I would like to take this opportunity to remind
you about the upcoming clinic at our farm, with guest Fjord judge Bob
Van Bon from Holland. This is a rare opportunity for North American
fjord horse owners to have their horses
assessed and judged by a leading, recognized authority in the Fjord
Horse world. This will be a hands-on experience covering many of the
topics that have been discussed in this mailing list.
We have 15 Fjords and use them very successfully in our summer camp.
We have also imported from Holland five fillies and a stallion . It
was during my buying trip to Holland, while visiting the fjord farms
with Bob that the idea came up for him to come to Canada . Bob is one
of the most well-regarded fjord experts in Europe and in North America
and has been largely responsible for creating the Fjord registry in
Holland. In early May he will be attending the Stallion Show in Norway,
and event he goes to every year. After that he will come to Canada
with his wife who is an accomplished riding instructor, Albert Wezeman
,a board member of the Dutch registry and very knowledgable in training
horses to drive, and Eline Koopman, a certified Fjord judge who worked
for us last year and showed our horses in Libby.
The clinic will be very informal, not competitive but educational. It
will be three days dedicated to how to groom, present, train, judge and
breed Fjords.
Anyone interested in attending can let us know by e-mail or phone
250-653-4364.
Because of the distance bringing a horse may present a problem and we
have offered the use of some of our horses in order to maximize
participation.
I will also make a video of the event which will be made available for
sale afterwards. Accommodations and meals can be provided as part of
the package. Salt SpringIsland is a short ferry ride from Vancouver
Island, and can also be reached easily by ferry from Vancouver area.
