I have to agree wholeheartedly with Cynthia, and not just to maintain
domestic tranquility. If the Registry doesn't jump on this opportunity to
work Lindsey and Devon into national advertising it would be very
unfortunate.
This stupid show was on ABC, one of the broadcast networks! People get
those channels even if they are still stuck with an antenna on the roof.
Even with cable or satellite, one has to have a upgrade package to get
RFD-TV and even a better package to get some of the other channels which
people here have excitedly announced were showing Fjords. Even if they
happen to have one of the horsey outlets, how many folks are going to
abandon their reality pap to chance to see a Fjord there?
This thing is pure gold for the breed! People are going to see an unusual
horse in an activity of which probably they knew nothing. And if they have
even the slightest interest in horses, they are probably going to try to
find out what that funny little horse was and what he was doing pulling
that weird cart around. If you don't think so, check out this thread from
the "Chronicle of the Horse" forum: http://goo.gl/H9pIV. It starts out with
someone asking "What breed was that cute little pony?" and progresses
through various speculations to eventually others saying "I think my
daughter needs one." and "Where would you recommend shopping for one?".
