Hello List!

I am interested in a top quality gray Drafty Fjord mare to add to our
working and mare herd. I would appreciate any feed back from breeders on the
list, (you too Julie Will!). We show all over and do our haying as of this
year with our horses, having just started to drive a 3 abreast to mow and
rake. We forked the windrows by hand to pick up but next year after a trip
to PA we will have a baler to pull with the mares.

We do our hayrides with 3 and sometimes 4 abreast. We have an awesome Hilmar
/ Sf Sunday filly  and a Dena / Hostar filly who is more the middle type.
She was first weanling filly at Woodstock and Dena/Taylor were first mare
and foal at the Hopkinton Draft Horse Show( against 5 Haflinger mare 
foals!  

Please contact us when you can. We will be busy this next week going to
Equine Affaire in MA but will get back to any one who is interested after
the 8th of November.  

Hope you all had a quite Halloween!   We just got back from doing hayrides
in the dark all evening and the mares were great with all the scary things
flying out in the dark and screaming and lights sometimes flashing!  
 Bye for now ,
Richard G.

  It makes me think that grays have been around, and 'revered' so to speak
  for a long time.

That MUST be why I love and want to own a gray someday...   LOU



Re: Committee Membership

Inquiry to Julia  Will from Wayne Hipsley

Recently, I have had private emails from members wondering how they can become
a member of the evaluation committee. I am like them curious about the policy
on NFHR Committee membership. I think the answers to these questions will
assist the membership better understand how they can participate and support
the NFHR.  Sorry if some of these questions overlap. 

1.  I presume the committee members serve at the pleasure of the President,
thus meaning the re-appointment of all committee members is pivotal on the
actions of the president? Or, is it the BOD instead of the President?

2.  I know you, Mike and others have discussed the services of members
volunteering to participate on committees. How does a member volunteer for a
committee? To whom do they apply for a committee? Is there a formal list of
committees for the members to select from?

3.  Does the NFHR have a policy whereby the number of committee members are
limited on specific committees? 

4.  Is there a formal policy on the length of time a committee member 
serves on
a committee?  

5.  Based on your remarks in yesterday's Digest one could presume the
committees are composed of NFHR Directors. How does the election or re-
election of directors impact on composition of committees? 

6.  How does a committee member or NFHR member become the chair of a 
committee?
What is the term of service?

7.  Is the policy on the committees and their appointments incorporated into
the NFHR Bylaws?

8.  Is there an effort to appoint or limit committee membership to
geographic/regional distribution?

Thanks for taking the time to respond.
