FW: driving at the derby
This message is from: "lindy hild" Good Morning Well, the Fjords moved into Louisville last week and managed to impress just about everyone at the Pegasus Parade on Thursday April 30th . Its a big parade, there were about 115 units including about half a dozen Macys Parade type balloons, and many floats. We had 4 saddle horses, 3 singles with vehicles and 2 pairs of Norwegian Fjords put to presentation vehicles, all dolled up in roses and ribbons. All the people were wearing our very best turnout attire. Brass was gleaming and tails and forelocks were silky in the breeze ( thankfully, the storm passed over before we took to the actual parade route). The parade route was almost 2 miles down Broadway through downtown Louisville, and there were large crowds of enthusiastic ( and loud) spectators, whod also braved the rain and wind. Lots of waving on all sides. Bruce Hild, wearing Norwegian National costume looked a lot like Santa in summer plumage and many kids were very excited to see him! One dad even called out nice sleigh, Santa! as he passed by in an antique Victoria carriage driven by Curt Pierce. I believe all of the humans had some inner qualms when the huge Kermit The Frog parade balloon entered the queue just ahead of our unit. However, we DID have Norwegian Fjords, after all, and they just stood there, totally blasé about the big green balloon just ahead of them. It was quite a moment! I know I was very proud of my mare, Dagney, just then. The voiceover commentary on the television was very complementary of our unique-looking horses. It was a wonderful time for us all. As if we needed any additional source of delight for a splendid week, we were informed Saturday morning that wed won the Non-Professional Equine Unit Award. Between the appearances in the 2014 Pasadena Rose Parade and the 2015 Pegasus Parade, I am happy to report that showing the delightful Norwegian Fjord Horses to the general public has been proudly carried on. Still tickled by it all !
