Ontario Fjordhorse Show and other Comments
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Digest #227 was just chocked with items that I wanted to comment on. I was sad to see Steve's post on diminished voices. I personally think the List is an important part of the Fjord community. I lurk most of the time, but I always find the discourse interesting. The Ontario Fjordhorse Show is this weekend at the Royal Canadian Riding Academy. Cheryl Beillard is the organizer and has done a terrific job of it. I am hoping that other List members will be attending the show and can post some results. I expect that Cheryl is going to be too busy this weekend to be on-line. I have a vested interest, naturally. Curt Pierce (also a BOD candidate) is en route with 3 stallions. He is bringing his own OH Wynn (Flotren) and LFF Ulend (Erlend), plus my stallion, Ironwood Blitzen (Gjest). This is Blitzen's first show. I'm sure he is wondering why the trailer ride is taking so long, although if there is enough hay in front of him, perhaps not. So if anyone sees Blitzen this weekend, tell him that his mama says to be a good boy with Uncle Curt! Cheryl was able to secure the judging services of Bob von Bon for the show. I don't remember if he is judging all of it or just the conformation. Anyway, I am excited to have such a noted expert comment on my stallion. Neither Blitzen nor Wynn have been evaluated yet, although 2005 looks like a possibility. Curt and I both want to hear Bob von Bon's comments. I also know that Carol Rivoire is going to this show and I hear she is going to drive, too. Carol, we all know you practice on those driving vacations. I'm also looking forward to her comments on Blitzen. I believe he is the only Gjest son standing with Holunder lines on his dam side. Unfortunately I can't come to the show, much as I enjoy visiting Canada.I actually have to work on Monday, which is a good thing since I have to pay Curt for training Blitzen in draft and driving. I do have a number of my own Fjord horses for sale -- two older mares and two weanlings. Here's the link to the sales list if anyone is interested. http://ironwood-farm.com/html/sales_list.html. If the page appears to have weird heiroglyphics at the beginning, just scroll down. I am having a fight with Net Objects Fusion (aka Net Objects Confusion) about that particular page. Either that or the host for my site is very slow on the updates. So much for technology. I have 4 foals coming in 2005. This includes one from FC Madellin who is a full sister to FC Gwendellin. Maddie has been bred to the aforemention OH Wynn, a red dun. We have no idea what color to expect next spring, although Maddie would prefer a white dun I think. She has become very attached to our 2204 gray dun colt by LFF Ulend, to the point that she had to be weaned from him too even though she was not his dam. There is much staring over the fence even now. I think Maddie is tired of being the only white dun in a herd of brown duns.

Of course you realize that we must represent the entire membership and therefore promote the popular choice. We nevertheless want you to feel welcome in continuing to offer future suggestions to a board of directors that listen, that you might feel a part of our combined efforts for a successful endeavor.

Re: Diminished Voices
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi Everyone, This is in response to Steve's post about a BOD member that asked to be removed from this list. It is obvious from the discussions on this list about the NFHR logo that communication has not been as good as it could be between the BOD and its members. I am running for one of the openings on the Board and, as I said in my Bio, my main concern will be to work to improve communication between the Board and the NFHR membership. It is obvious to me that we need to find a way for both sides to be heard and understood. Other organizations have done it, so can we. Even if I am not elected, I hope that someone on the Board recognizes that there is a need for improvement here. Judy Phelps Echo Valley Fjords Chelan, Wa.
