When considering a "middle" show what about Eugene Ore? I was there to
worship Dusty one time and thought the grounds and arena quite good.

Why isn't there talk about Eugene Oregon for a middle ground? Dusty's
mother??? I was there for a show some years ago and thought the arena was
pretty good. Jean Gayle
Hi Jean,
In response to the above, you are right about the good geographic location
of Eugene and the great facilities available in this area. I did put on an
Evaluation a few years after we moved here. I think that was the first
Eval. offered that was not held in conjunction with a Fjord show so it was a
'test' as to whether we could draw enough entries to make it happen. I had
thought we could draw folks from CA, WA, OR, Can. and all points near. We
did.
Then Catherine Lasessen hosted another one at her facility south of us.
That went well too. - Again, not held in conjunction with a show.
Catherine & I have discussed the possibility of ulitizing the great
facitities at Oregon Horse Center - 3 indoor arenas all under one roof.
I am certain that there are other really nice facilities around the NW as
well. The main obstacle, at least for me, is the time consuming effort
required to plan and host such events. I know it took me a whole year of
preparation to find a facitily, make arrangements throught the Eval.
Committe & NFHR Board, hire judges before they were booked full, handle
paperwork, ETC! WHEW!
I might entertain the idea of doing something again in this area - when I
have time - UH HUH!! Right now my barn keeps me more than busy with
training, lessons, etc. FIELD OF DREAMS - 'if you build it, they will
come' - and they did!!!
Dusty's Mother - that would be me.
