Dear list from Brian Jensen;
It would benefit all Fjord drivers to get themselves the
2003 ADS Rule Book---and read the relevant parts. I believe it is 15.00 US
funds. A good place for novices to start.
In its introductory preamble the ADS booklet has three
main headings.
1-Safety
2-Competitor Conduct at shows
3-Cruelty to Animals at shows
From there the ADS book goes into different sections like
Pleasure Driving guidelines and types of classes. It talks about harness,
acceptable bits, and mandatory tack and equipment.
Following the Pleasure Driving Section there is a Draft
Driving Section for heavy harness teamsters, again talking about harness,
bits, and tack and equipment. Yes---Draft with heavy harness has its own
section in the ADS Booklet.
Much of the discussion on the list is answered in the ADS
Booklet. Although it gets quite wordy in places-- overall it is quite
informative for Drivers. If we want to help our new Fjord owners--I believe
it is to train them once and correctly so when coming to a Fjord Show we
all are working from the same page. I encourage everyone to
read---educate-take clinics--or as Ursula and I have told over 250 Fjord
Driving Clinic entrants. Find a mentor!!!!! Mentoring is the oldest form of
teaching in the world, and has proven the test of time. Brian Jensen
