2013 Evaluations and CO Update

2013-09-17 Thread Jeanne
This message is from: "Jeanne" 


Hello Everyone,



I just wanted send a note to everyone to talk about the 2013 Evaluations.



In August we held an evaluation in Herndon, VA.  There were 27 horses there.
Margaret Bogie and Curtis Pierce coordinated this event.



Last week we held another evaluation in Libby, MT.  There were 19 horses
there.  Mary Johnson coordinated this one.



I attended both these evaluations and acted as Technical Delegate.  I
couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome.  I was very happy with the
evaluator’s at both events.  We need to all be more appreciative of our
evaluators… not an easy job!  We are so lucky to have such educated people
helping us better the breed in North America.  I saw some NICE horses at
both evaluations.



The Family Fjord tests were a big hit at both evaluations.  At both, we had
people adding the Family Fjord tests to their entries at the last minute.
We handed out many bronze medallions.  It was fun to watch, and everyone who
participated said it was fun to do.  Well done, Evaluation Committee, for
getting these tests on board and offered to our 2013 evaluations!



Many thanks to everyone who came and participated at both evaluations.  A
special thanks to Margaret Bogie, Curtis Pierce and Mary Johnson for
coordinating these events.



Looking forward to 2014 and the possibility of more evaluations!



We here in Colorado are drying out.  The devastation caused by the floods is
unbelievable.  In some places it looks like a war zone.  I was at the Libby
evaluation when the rain started (btw, it was 90+ in Libby!)  On Thursday I
received a text from my husband telling me he was evacuating my horses.
?!?!  (he’s not a horse person)  with help from some very good friends he
got them moved safely to a good fjord friend’s place, dryer ground.  The
creek we live about ½ mile from became a raging river and came within a few
hundred feet of my house.  On Friday we lost water.  I couldn’t bring my
horses home without water.  They restored the water yesterday and ponies are
back home.  We dodged a bullet, for sure.  The creek I’m talking about is so
small normally, you can walk across it.  This summer I believe it might have
even dried up.  It’s now a raging river.  Our neighbors across the road from
us have severe flood damage.  Other fjord friends on our road had flood
damage, but I believe their horses and they are safe.  Nancy Newport’s farm
is wet, but good, as is Beth Beymer and Sandy North’s place, Starfire Farm.
The temps are rising and drying everything out.  Many thanks for all the
calls/texts/emails from everyone asking about us.
