Oh, yea, I forgot to answer your question about Clay Maier. Yes, he was there performing his Friesian Spectacular. He is now based at the Kentucy Horse Park (he was already on his way here during the NFHR meeting). It is always an honor to be able to perform with him. He is the most humble person and a wonderful horseman to watch work with his horses. There were quite a few Friesians involved in this show. The Blumenthals, who have a farm north of Ft.Collins, drove a pair and had a number of other Friesians in the show, re-enacting how the farmers in the Netherlands raced the horses bareback. Finally, Sabine Schut and her husband, Christian Kerry performed two elegant pas-des-deux on their Friesian stallions. Lovely riding. The show also featured a reining freestyle and a reining quadrille, and then Jerry Diaz and his wife, Stacey, performed their professional acts.
We already have photos from the professional photographer...so are working on a new web page today. I'll let you all know when it's up!

I loved every minute of your description Beth, especially when you told us how you had to traipse thru the maze of other barns at 0 dark:30 to get to the TV spot - wow, I know that place is like a city onto it's own; things are measured in sq inches there, not feet! I hope you post some pics of the barn area on your webstite too. 'Behind the scenes' stuff is fun to share...and hey, was Clay M. there doing his show stuff? After you guys left the arena on the video I heard a snippet of an announcement about Friesen's.... Here's the You Tube link folks: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O_lhBZCnKh4 Cheers, Karen in (wet) snowy central Oregon.
