Good Day from Carol at Beaver Dam Farm in Nova Scotia - What I'm suggesting isn't complicated or expensive. Each horse at a show gets a number, and keeps it throughout the show for all the classes. Isn't that right? I ask because I haven't shown for years and could be wrong. If that's correct, then I think each horse entered in the show should be listed in the program with his #, name, age, sire & dam, breeder & owner. Example: Number - Name - Age - Sire & Dam, Breeder, owner #4 - Mickey, 4 yr. (Hobar x Nelly), Fjord Horse Farm, Jane Doe. I can't see that donations should have to be solicited to add this essential information to a show program. In addition, after each in-hand class, I think it would be tremendously educational for the parentage and breeder of each horse to be announced. If this is done after the class, how is the judge going to be influenced? And as far as that goes, I think almost all of our judges are honorable.
