This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi Everyone, We had a great Saturday at an Open show put on by a theraputic Riding center in Butte, Montana, They use a Fjord in their program, and also board 3 Fjords their also. Joannie Kissock, the barn owner also has trained several Fjords of Storrs and Bev Bishops, and Sarah Nagel, and soon, one of ours. We all committed to coming, (of course!) and she made two Fjord classes, a halter classes (which I had her download copies of breed standard, from the NFHR) and a Walk Trot class. WE HAD 7 FJORDS IN THE CLASSES!! Yippee, The breed was so well represented, they stole the show. I think Bev Bishop's Fjord took first in the halter class. and our mare Tone' with Mandy riding, took 1st in the riding class. Tone' and Mandy went on to kick some butt in the other English classes as well. They also had a matched pairs class. Mandy rode Tone' and I rode Sarah Nagels mare Orianna (other than being Fjords, they aren't even close to a match LOL) we placed 3rd, with lots of giggles, trying to get Ori to keep up with Tone's fast pace. Sarah and I finally got to meet Bev Bishop and promptly invited ourselves over to her place in spring for a ride!!!!!!!. The other guy in Butte (Mike) boards his Fjords at that barn but I never caught his last name, He was very nice too.
We had a blast, and Mandy took highpoint youth, The day was wonderful, we had to get up at 4am to leave by 5:45, to be in Butte by 9, but still, it was worth it, The only really eventful thing was the trip home, when my alternator seized up 60 miles from home in the middle of no where, But luckily a cop was nearby and my husband came to the rescue, to get the horses and AAA took the car. We had it fixed by noon the next day. Do you know how dark it is in Montana at 10pm? DARK Well just had to tell you all, We have SO much fun with our Fjords, hope you do too Mike and Michele Noonan (and kids) Stevensville, Mt
