Thanks Jerry. We got back home late last night. I was able to put some
video up on the Starfire Farm Facebook page, for anyone who would like
to see our Saturday night performance (will try get to YouTube
tomorrow). Wayne Williams, the announcer from the NFHR 25th Anniversary,
was the announcer for the Mane Event and he is always very complimentary
of our Fjords. I can't say enough about Sarah Reidy and Shari
McCallum-Clark. Both have really embraced la goal of earning to ride at
a higher level (if you will) and have been exceptionally fun to
perform with. John Arthur and Magnum could not be happier with their
performance partners! My sincere thanks to Sarah and Shari for being so
engaged, flexible and fun to perform with. Thanks to Christi Kipple and
Elvis Lucil for your background support.
Also, we had the privilege to perform with an amazing horseman and
entertainer, Guy McLean, who hails from Australia. He has been on an
eight month tour with his Australian stock horses and plans to stay here
in the states. He and his horses performed at the WEG. If you have an
opportunity to see this amazing horseman in person, you should do
whatever you can to go see him. He is honest, engaging, talented and his
message comes from the heart. His liberty work is thought provoking and
inspiring, to say the least. And...he was very complimentary of our
performance and what we have accomplished with our Fjords! So, if you
get the chance, go see him. Otherwise, look at his videos on YouTube.
There are quite a few.
I have to say, part of his presentation is doing some amazing Aussie
whip cracking while demonstrating his training and not all of the horses
performing in the Mane Event could handle the sound of that. It was like
firecrackers going off. Sarah, Shari and I happened to be in the arena
of the Events Center schooling our horses at the same time he was doing
his afternoon presentation on Friday (we were in one half, he was in the
other). The whip-cracking was a non-event for our boys. The following
day some other performers were trying to school their horses in the
warm-up arena, which is accessed via a tunnel...though in a completely
separate location no where near his presentation...and they sent someone
out to him to tell him that their horses could not handle the whip
cracking. Well, of course he told them that he was being paid to do his
presentation (he can crack two whips on either side of a horse or
standing on his horses backs cracking two like helicopter
blades...effortlessly) that the whips were part of his job and he
continued to use them where it fit in to his presentation. Just another
reason he told us that he was impressed with our Fjords, so we can all
be proud of that.
Oh, yea and he signed my boot..(long storyright Shari and
Sarah?...it started in Nashville.. ;-)
We have been invited to perform at the Ride for the Cure at High Prairie
in April and at the Ballet on Horseback at the Boulder County Fair in
August. Will try to get more detail out later.
Take care all,
Beth
