Parades? How about a performance demonstration at Equine Affaire?
This message is from: reviv...@thegrid.net Hi everyone, All this talk about doing a parade... Is anybody interested in doing a Fjord Breed demonstration at the Pomona, CA Equine Affaire next February? Vestlandshest is in the early stages of planning to have a booth in the Breed Pavilion and hopefully also a demo. Kathy Kramer is organizing the performance demo. Coincidentaly I was speaking with Kathy this morning and she is looking for driving, english and western turnouts. Equine Affaire is pretty good about supporting people who bring horses for the demos. If you bring your horse exclusively to do a demo, you get a stall for 24 hours and 2 free tickets to the event for the day of the demo. The fairgrounds in Pomona is a really nice facility. If you are interested, contact Kathy at (951) 657-2566 or ka...@westcoastfjords.com.

Fjords and saddles
This message is from: brass-ring-f...@juno.com My Fjord mare has a very round back. The ortho-flex fits her nicely but I do notice when we go down steep hills, it feels like it is going to tip way forward. It is English rigging so I can't put a back cinch on it. It is plenty tight enough. It does not roll side to side, just this pitching forward feeling on somewhat extreme terrain. I have had 2 Fjords, both have been hard to fit in that they are so roly poly. The other horses I have had have been Morgans. Even the most round ones do not compare to the no-withers-at-all of these 2 Fjords. For the English saddle on the other Fjord I used the Limpet pad which kind of bonded with her skin. This Fjord now though, has an itchy problem which manifests in her rolling as soon as the saddle is pulled off (and 4x while I was riding her), so I do not want to use neoprene or anything that makes her sweat (or itch) more. Just adding my 2 cents worth that - yes - Fjords are hard to fit. Valerie Columbia, CT Auto Insurance Quotes Get competitive auto insurance quotes.

This message is from: Karen McCarthy Yes, Beth, that is sort of correct, you submit your entry info May, then they go into selection.

Re: Rose parade. (was National Western Stock Show)
This message is from: Starfire Farm If I remember correctly, didn't you have to have your application into the Rose Parade organizers by June of the previous year? When I was talking with someone about our quadrille performing at a one-evening performance at the Del Mar show (The Night of the Horse, or something like that) it was going to cost around $3,500 - $5,000.00 (can't remember which) just to get our team there, using our own trucks/trailers. That didn't count food, stabling, etc., just getting there. So...anyone up for a sponsorship? ;-) Beth Karen McCarthy wrote: >This message is from: Karen McCarthy > >Back when I was doing alot more parades I seriously considered entering a >group of Fjords in the RP about 9 (?) years ago.

Enumclaw horse auction
This message is from: pedfjo...@aol.com Just FYI, for those thinking that horse auctions are a good place to make a little money and unload horses right now, the results from the big Enumclaw Horse sale are posted on the FUGLY daily blog. Everything from OTT TB's grandkids of Seattle Slew, broke to death pack string and dude ranch horses, Paints, minis, oldsters that ride great and assorted arabs, ponys, QH's, donkeys, papered, broke and projects all mostly went for under 300 bucks. 30 went to the kill buyers. I did not see any Fjords listed, but look for the 2 from Myrtle Point to go to the Hermiston one soon. I know that Waverly Iowa Horse auction ( comming up soon ) usually also has Fjords go through. People suck sometimes.Lisa Important FjordHorse List Links: Subscription Management: http://tinyurl.com/5msa7e FH-L Archives: http://tinyurl.com/rcepw Classified Ads: http://tinyurl.com/5b5g2f

This message is from: "Jo Wilgus" .> No Mother Goose here. but I could do it. Maybe not this year, new grandbaby due in Nov. I am open to a parade though. Norco has parades too. If your horse can travel the streets of Norco you can do a small parade.

RE: Rose parade
This message is from: Sarah Clarke I think this is something that sound like fun, but then as you point out you find you are leaping directly to the "professional" ranks. Maybe some of the southern CA Fjord folk might consider starting a little smaller like the Jamul parade I entered last week. You have to gather at the staging grounds (Jamul primary school) about an hour before parade time. The parade route is 1.5 miles. You can participate in the Gymkhana afterward if you want, but it's not mandatory. I was thinking next year I would try to organize a larger entry in the Jamul parade and maybe even think about the mother goose parade (week Before thanksgiving in El Cajon). but I don't know if that is as complicated as the Rose Parade. has anybody on the list ever done Mother Goose parade? --- On Mon, 10/5/09, Karen McCarthy wrote: Back when I was doing alot more parades I seriously considered entering a group of Fjords in the RP about 9 (?) years ago.

Re: Rose parade. (was National Western Stock Show)
This message is from: "Jo Wilgus" Years back I got online and researched the parade application. It was like 5 pages long. Who would not want FJORDS in their parade? I am NOT one for "cocktails" for my horse before ANY work. Beth and Sandy? well those 2 are capable of anything they choose to undertake. I have silver (real) on my saddle I never use. I ride in my Crates that is nice and light and liftable. If the committee saw a photo of Regn they would pay me to have her in the parade. LA Eq. Center is a wonderful facility. The city of Pasadena is nice, LA as a whole, in my opinion is a pit. Again this MY opinion only.

RE: Rose parade. (was National Western Stock Show)
This message is from: Karen McCarthy Back when I was doing alot more parades I seriously considered entering a group of Fjords in the RP about 9 (?) years ago. Someone in our group had an "in" w/ the RP commitee and so we applied. It is a very rigorous undertaking. You don't 'just enter'. You have to do a pre-application to get through the door, then you are sent a binder that must be completed listing every rider/horse with accomplishments & photos down to the nth detail - they even wanted to know if the silver on the show saddles was sterling or plate! Well, when one of our group decided to bail on us, we sort of lost momentum in finding a replacement, and we didn't send in the final app. I think I still have the binder floating around somewhere... Yes, you DO have to be prepared to park your rig on a closed off section of freeway late the night before, and you you also have to agree to have your horse evaluated by the RP vets before embarking on the 5 mile parade route. If they deem your horse needs it, you HAVE to accept them administering a 'cocktail', or abandon the parade. It is also a requirement now that you also participate in the Equine Festival before the parade, and I think this is now a big affair, and may take place days before the parade, thus be prepared to be in LA for quite awhile. I believe they stable and hold the pre-parade doings at the LA Eq. Center. Can't remeber if you needed to pay for boarding, but I would assume so. I'd be up for doing the parade, but only if i didn't have to drive in LA, and if the rig used to park the night b4 was a LQ ;~) :: Karen McCarthy :: Great Basin Fjords :: Madras, Oregon :: http://www.picturetrail.com/weegees > Date: Sun, 4 Oct 2009 20:30:42 -0800 > Subject: Rose parade.
