Greater NW Equine Expo
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I want to second Catherine's note about how much fun we had at this years Expo. It was a BLAST!! One of the really fun parts for me was getting to really trot all out in the big arena with our pair and carriage. And of course I wish we had had someone with a video camera for Catherine's Ski routine - it was really the high point of the show from all the comments we heard afterwards. Pam Adler and Dad I were also asked to drive some of the clinicians in in our carriages for the big Spectacular. So our Fjords got a little extra exposure. ( And I got to drive Clinton Anderson in again (He's such a cutie)! Two years in a row folks are going to think he really likes Fjords!! LOL I would also like to say thanks again to our great Oregon Fjord Club gang. You are all the greatest!!! Amy Amy Evers Dun Lookin' Fjords Redmond, OR Fjord [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Greater NW Equine Expo
This message is from: Lassesen [EMAIL PROTECTED] Rune and I are back from the Greater NW Equine Expo. WOW! What a time we had! A big THANK YOU to Amy, Bud and Tillie Evers, Becky Matt Hope, Linda Bezdek Cassie Soule, Laurie Brianne Orrick, Maggie McLaughlin, Wanda Hill and Pam Abbott. We were told by many spectators that we had the BEST demonstration! We had 10 Fjords at the Expo and we demonstrated, Packing, Single Cart, Pair Cart, Western, Dressage, Mama and baby and Fjording Around by skiing behind a fjord. The Expo Staff asked us to perform the skiing at the Friday Night Spectacular Show. We had a blast! We gave away OVER 1300 Fjord Hugs during the event. Attendance was the lowest in 4 years... but the weather was the nastiest (rain and heavy winds) and with the world events... we did not expect the crowds to be as heavy as in the past. Overall, the Fjords were well received and we had a lot of fun giving away HUGS to the spectators. Thanks! For a wonderful weekend.

This will allow us to sign up It was a great Expo, wasn't it? So many wonderful horses (especially the fjords) and great people (especially the fjord people!). What was interesting to me is that both groups that I went to see made 1st and 2nd places. Dr. Ritter's booth got a 1st place. Very nice, elegant, and he is a WONDERFUL trainer. And a gentle-man with a gentle way with horse and human. And the Fjord booth, it was so well done. I loved the red white and blue and the fjord silhouettes. A lot of time, effort and planning went into it. Can't wait for next year. I'd sign Juniper up for the therapeutic horse, but again, she should be VERY pregnant same time next year. Pamela

Equine Expo and more
This message is from: Lynch/Stidham [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi list, My name is Caitlin. I am generally a lurker and have posted only a few times. I am the one that got a Fjord gelding named Jordan as an engagement ring. We took delivery of him on the 3rd of Feb. and I am very happy he is my friend. The reason I venture out into the Kitchen is to ask a somewhat silly question. I really want to go to the Horse Expo the is in Albany Or. We live in Bellevue Wa and this is an opportunity to meet some of the people I see here. Can the person that is heading up this project please let me know when this is so I can take the time off. I could also use directions but I'll find my way if needed. I need to get pictures of Jordan and Caleb(3yr old Morgan gelding) and show off my kids. I would also like to send our heart felt wishes to Janne in regards to your loss. It is so sad to hear but should never be hidden. To share is to heal. Blessings to Heidi. Short memories are good for something right? Caitlin in soggy Bellevue WA Jordan and Caleb, 3 Cats, 2 guinea pigs, 2 parakeets and Joe my fiance.

Equine Expo
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi Everyone, Just wanted to briefly fill you in on the upcoming Expo in Albany, OR and remind you to mark your calendars for March 24-26. This started out as just a little project of mine, but has since snowballed (most of my 'projects' seem to have a way of doing that to me)! I will be joined by Catherine Lassesen who has volunteered to bring a mare and foal and to drive during our Breed Demo. We will also be joined by Peg Knutsen with Erlend to ride English and have a grey present for the public to see. Would like to invite everyone who can, to attend and show support for Fjord horses (translated hoop 'n' holler! HA!). Tackling a project like this in an effort to expand public awareness of the Fjord, is labor intensive, and expensive -- ask any of the folks who DO Equitana! I am really excited to have a public forum of this magnitude available at our doorstep! An event such as this benefits ALL Fjord owners so please remember to thank those folks who are willing to do the work on behalf of everyone. Once again, I encourage you to come, lets show strength in numbers -- hoop 'n' holler a bit and maybe even offer to lend a hand! Sarah, I received the banner, etc. Thanx! Will return when this is all over. Gayle Ware Field of Dreams Eugene, OR
[clickryder] Equine Expo/Torturing Logger
This message is from: GAIL RUSSELL [EMAIL PROTECTED] Apparently Alexandra Kurland used a Fjord stallion as her Demo clicker-trained horse. Anyone know who this stallion is? I went to an Equine Expo in Northampton, Mass. on Saturday and was able to meet Alexandra Kurland. I bought her book (which she autographed for me and my Logger Boy G) and can't wait to read it from cover to cover. Alexandra put on a demo using a Fjord stallion. Then we found out that this was Alexandra's demo horse and were intrigued to see how he would do. Well, he was great. The owner worked the horse while Alexandra explained the concept of clicker training and gave us a play by play. The horse was loose in a ring with just a halter on, and quietly followed his owner around and stopped, turned and backed up when she asked. He also kicked a ball around and fetched a bucket, at which time the owner would run in the opposite direction and the stallion would chase after her to give her the bucket.

Attended VA Winter Equine Expo
This message is from: Sam Sue Banks [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hello everyone, As I mentioned last week, my driving club was invited to do the Carriage Driving demos at the Expo, so Lilly (BDF Lillehammer) and I hit the road. I did the Ride and Drive part of the demo with another club member with a very nice Appy. The organizers asked if our horses would stand well, if we could ride in first and harness up in the ring to show the spectators that carriage driving is not as quick as putting a saddle on a horse. It was a good idea and gave the spectators some appreciation for the amount of work that goes into training a safe driving horse, as well as the work our 9 turnouts did each day for the demonstration. Lilly always surpasses my wildest expectations. Between being a Fjord, and having had natural horsemanship type training (despite it being both Lilly and me learning about NH at the same time), Lilly handled a large amount of 'new' stuff being thrown at her at once. Lilly is regularly ridden but had not been driven much since she was a 2 year old, and that was mostly groundwork/walking since my lightweight cart is not very safe or sturdy. After I was asked to attend the Expo, I hitched Lilly up 6 times in the last 2-3 weeks, weather permitting. I was much more nervous than Lilly. Having the riding part first was perfect for me, since we were not allowed to school inside the coliseum and I am more confident riding. Lilly trotted in the ring, down the centerline and saluted with her riding buddy alongside, and then we did a small pattern riding. Then into the center of the ring to harness up as our announcer explained the harness parts, the training required, proper use of a whip as an aid, not punishment, etc.. Then off we would go again driving around the arena. The first day Lilly was quiet, relaxed, but not going forward well, then the second day she was as great as her training allowed. She might have been tired the first day since we had to practice our routine in warmup more, before the exhibition, to get it right. To my relief, Lilly and I did not embarrass the Fjord breed as its solo representative at the Expo. A lot of visitors walked through the barns and stopped to chat briefly. The attendance was light in general as this was the first year of the VA Winter Equine Expo. While the coliseum riding area is large, it does not have room for a lot of vendors such as is seen at Equitana, but has several classrooms. The biggest draw was for Pat Parelli, and it was fun to see him in person. The people in my driving club are the nicest horse people around, and I have always stayed a member of the club even when I was not driving a horse. I have learned a lot from many of them and enjoy their company, so I had a great weekend. Sue Banks, Virginia, USA [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Virginia's Winter Equine Expo
This message is from: Sam Sue Banks [EMAIL PROTECTED] This weekend will be the first Winter Equine Expo in Lexington, Virginia at The Horse Center. Members of my carriage driving club have been asked to attend for the carriage driving demonstrations, and I hope to attend with almost 5 year old BDF Lillehammer. She is what I consider green-broke to drive - I started her as a 2 year old but once I started riding her at 3 she was so comfortable I never switched to driving her again. I volunteered to do the Ride and Drive part of the Demo, needless to say. Schedule - Friday - 5:30-7:30 Chili Cookoff and country western dance; 7:30-8:30 Musical Liberty Freestyle; 9:00 Barrel Racing Exhibition. Saturday Main arena 8:30 Kenny Harlow, Training with Trust; 9:30 Carriage Demo; 10:30 GaWaNi Pony Boy; 11:30 Pat Parelli; 1:30 Dog parade and Terrier Races; 2:30 GaWaNi Pony Boy; 3:30 On Target Training (Clicker Training method) Shawna Vinton Karrasch; 4:30 David Seay, Progressive Horsemanship; 7:30 Draft Horse Pulls. Seminars in classrooms all day. Sunday Main Arena 8:30 David Seay; 9:30 GaWaNi Pony Boy; 10:30 Carriage Driving; 11:30 Kenny Harlow; 12:30 Shawna Vinton Karrasch; 1:30 Pony Boy; 2:30 Pat Parelli; 4:30 Dog Parade and Terrier Races. More seminars. I attended the Horse Expo in Maryland last weekend with many of these clinicians. The weather was bad (ice and snow) and no one could ride, there was a big turnout. I walked through the Avenue of Breeds but no Fjords were there. The Carriage Driving organizer of this Virginia event said even if Lilly was not comfortable driving with a large group of horses yet, at least she would be there to represent our breed (in all our fuzzy easy keeper glory). I am hoping we can arrange the demo so that Lilly drives with some quieter horses from our club and gain confidence, and that I will be riding her when the flashier horses come in. Lilly has been ridden at Equitana, and was fine there, we just don't have enough time and miles under our belt in driving. Hope the weather stays decent. Sue Banks, Virginia USA
