we had a fantastic turnout of fjords, including some new participants
this year. as usual, the fjord aisle (yup, we have our own aisle) was
packed with visitors and kids who love to see the funny horses with
the mohawks.
and as usual, we did a stellar demonstration. i may be a little smug,
but after watching many of the other breeds, almost without exception,
our group provides a sterling ride. the horses are clean, the riders
look happy and well dressed for the type of riding they are doing, and
also we have GOOD riders. in several other demos, i was quite
concerned about the lack of balance and skill shown, with several
coming close to coming off their mounts. gotta love the fjords.
i posted a video of our long demo (they actually gave us 9 minutes as
opposed to other groups who rode 4-5 minutes) both on facebook and on
youtube.

on a special note, dave and sue lusty celebrated their 50th
anniversary by again joining everyone at the expo. they provided a
yummy dinner for us all, and their cart was adorned with a sign
announcing the event to the crowd. congrats!
