In the years of showing horses, only at the World APHA and AQHA and Congress are there a list of the horses and competitors with the naming of the sire and dam of the horse. At the state level shows, there is not the extensive background on the horses. I prefer the blind judging of the horses. Let the judge, judge them first! Then tell the judge the bloodlines and owners afterwards. Hard to do when we have such a small amount of Fjords and Judges. Carol, if you want a program like that at a show. Get on the show staff and help produce one! I am sure the show staff of the MT, VT, MN and CA shows would welcome extra volunteers to help do the work. I am sure that is why most of our Fjord shows do not have such extensive programs. The other way would be to sponsor and donate enough money to have the program produced by a professional. I know that our small Fjordings West group could use the money and get your program printed up with breeding backgrounds of the horses shown there. Of course, it would depend on the amount of pre-entry and IF the owners send in copies of paperwork. Anyone out there willing to do the work. Type Up and Volunteer! Catherine Lassesen of Hestehaven.
