I can agree with the HIGH cost of the evaluation. We took 4 horses to the one in Eugene and it cost more than going to both Libby and Turlock. ONE reason is that they will not allow an evaluation done on a facility that a Fjord Owner would want their horse evaluated on. Dealing with the fact that there would be an advantage for the person to "SHOW ON THEIR HOME TURF". A fact that will come up but... it could save 100's of dollars, in costs... If we could get a FREE facility. I cannot see why they cannot make a ruling that confirmation could be done but not performance... What "edge" would a horse have over another in a confirmation evaluation being from the place they are evaluated in? I will only have our older stock evaluated in the future. To me personally, it was a waist of time and MONEY to have the evaluators write... "still growing" .... on our young stock... I could have told them that!
