This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Brigid, first thank you for reposting your story. How very bizarre of the organizers! I don't show, but took Juniper to the first time ever 4-H for Special Kids here in Oregon. I found similar disorganization. However, I was only a couple miles from home and only there for a couple classes. You deserve credit for hanging in there and dealing with all the stupidity you had to deal with.
Still, it sounds like you and your fjords did a very good job in adverse conditions. Rather than give it up and stay away next year, you have ammunition that may help for 2002. You KNOW how bad conditions are. You can call the organizers (not the middle men, but the top honchos) and describe the minefield that they have created. See if they can come up with some solutions. If they show no interest, well pfffftttt to them! Anyway, thanks again for reposting. Pamela
