This message is from: "Pat Holland" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Birgit - Thank you for bringing to our attention the great influence Denmark has made in the Fjord world in general and in North America in particular. I have been privy to the Danish influence and particulars but many of our membership are not aware.
Another Modellen offspring that is cause to be proud - is Silas, owned, trained and shown by Patti Walter - she has been showing him in open hunter and jumper competitions and considering soon - Eventing. I just saw a video of him in a jumper class and it was unbelievable. If we could figure out a way to braid the mane he would not look out of place in a A rated (AHSA) USeq sanctioned show. I am very serous about an open invitation for representatives of the European nations to come to Blue Earth next July. Considering your position with your organization - if you are not able to attend, would you consider sending Soren and Vibieka Juellund. It is my understanding he is the breeder of " Rei Halsnaes" and along with his very talented wife has made the greatest influence regarding that line in not only Denmark but Germany as well. I had the fortunate opportunity to speak to Vibieka on several occasions a few years ago, I believe they as a couple are excellent representatives. Please feel free to contact me regarding attending the Midwest Fjord Horse Club Show in July 2005. Our presentation of the Fjord next July will be above and beyond anything ever presented in North America. That I will assure you. Plans are being made already. I have several dedicated people working with me as we speak, I plan to keep active the enthusiasm created by this years show and continue to receive ideas and support. I am meeting with several of my committee people in two weeks while attending an evaluation in Wisconsin. Looking forward to hearing from you Pat Holland, MWFHC Show Chairman
