Libby Evaluation Deadline
This message is from: mabo...@aol.com I'm writing in support of Barb Lynch's post about entering the Libby Evaluation. As a member of the Evaluation Committee and the co-organizer of the NFHR Virginia Evaluation, it is my sincere hope that Libby happens in 2013. I definitely appreciate the challenges in getting a critical mass of horses together for an Evaluation; several years ago I entered a 28 year old mare in conformation and performance tests to help make our numbers. The mare did fantastically well, but I digress. It really takes a village approach to hold an evaluation. I would encourage everyone to look at the Family Fjord tests. The Evaluation Committee has designed them to be welcoming for Fjord owners who primarily use their horse for recreational activities. The riding test is walk-trot only and involves simple obstacles. The foundation test involves leading your horse through some exercises. This test is great for young, unstarted horses as is the ground driving test. The driving test also is simple and designed for the new driver or new driving horse. I have entered two of my unstarted youngsters in the foundation test at the upcoming Virginia Evaluation and welcome the chance to earn a medallion of quality. So please, consider giving entering Libby for your horse, yourself, your fellow Fjord owners, and the NFHR. We have a very special breed and we need to support it.

Fw: NFHR Libby Evaluation - Entry Deadline Extended!
This message is from: "Barb and Fred" I don't know if there are people out there who have not received this or not. But we did have a comment from someone that they did not know about the Fjord Affair and would have entered if they had. I wanted anyone who can to see this. The Evaluation in Libby needs a few more horses to go ahead. The deadline has been extended. Please, please, if you have ever considered having a horse evaluated, consider this one. We have not had one in quite a few years here in the NW. And it may be many more years before another is offered. This in not just for breeding stock! Consider entering the Family Fjord tests. Thanks all, Barb Lynch - Original Message - From: NFHR To: fjo...@lynchfarms.com Sent: Thursday, July 18, 2013 8:20 AM Subject: NFHR Libby Evaluation - Entry Deadline Extended! NFHR Libby Evaluation Entry Deadline Extended! July 18. 2013 We Need YOUR Help! A big word of thanks to the NFHR Members who entered the NFHR Evaluation at Libby. We have a solid base of entries, but we still need a few more entries to hold the Evaluation. We need more support from NFHR members in the region to make this Evaluation happen! An NFHR Evaluation is the premier educational event we offer. It is designed to provide feedback to owners about their horses and recognize accomplishments through the awarding of medallions of quality. It is not a horse show, but a measurement against a standard where every horse is judged on its own merits. Moreover, it is a positive fun experience aimed at educating and encouraging Fjord owners. Entry forms and information are on the NFHR web site. The NFHR has agreed to extend the entry deadline to August 19, 2013 without charging any late entry fee. If you have questions about the NFHR Evaluation at Libby, please contact the NFHR office. NFHR Evaluation is scheduled to be held on September 11 - 12, 2013 at J. Neils Memorial Park, Libby, MT. Conformation and performance tests at all levels will be offered. The Evaluation immediately precedes the Libby International Fjord Show held from September 13 - 15, 2013 at the same location. If you are coming to the Libby show, please consider coming a bit earlier to participate in the Evaluation. We only need a few more horses to enter. New Family Fjord Tests The NFHR Board of Directors recently approved the final two Family Fjord Tests for riding and driving. These tests, along with the in-hand and ground driving tests were designed for young horses as well as for NFHR members who wanted tests related to the more recreational activities we do with our horses. These tests can be done by one or more people, can include coaching, and are focus on basic skills. They will be available at Libby. The new tests can be found on the NFHR website's evaluation page. They also are incorporated in Section IV of the Evaluation Handbook. The NFHR presents bronze medallions of quality awards for the Family Fjord Tests.

Libby Evaluation, Show, Clinic Info on PNFPG Website
This message is from: "Olivia Farm, Inc." <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Greetings, This message is to announce that the registration packet and event schedule for the 2008 Libby International Fjord Show has been posted and is now available for download on the Pacific Northwest Fjord Promotional Group website... http://www.pnfpg.org . You can also link to the evaluation packet for the NFHR evaluation planned for the two days prior to the show from the same location directly by going to http://www.nfhr.org/nfhrevaluation/2008_Libby_Eval_Entry_pkg.pdf . Additional information and registration is available for a clinic with Wayne Hipsley, NFHR Evaluator, judge, and global equine consultant to be held at Libby on the morning of Friday the 12th of September. The clinic will focus on the evaluation and selection of Norwegian Fjord Horses with particular attention to helping people have a better understanding of conformation, movement, and the form/function relationship. This will be a great follow up to the NFHR evaluation allowing those with questions to find clarity to their experience and will also serve as a great segueway to the show. Not just for those with an interest in breeding, the clinic will prove to be quite valuable in helping buyers make better choices when selecting Fjords and in helping people to better understand the strengths and weaknesses of their current Fjords. This is naturally useful in designing more effective training programs and maximizing a Fjord's potential. Of course, the annual Nordicfest celebration will be held concurrently for what will again prove to be a weekend of education and fun! Hopefully you are all having a wonderful summer and we'll hope to see you there! Happy Fjording! Dan Watanabe The FjordHorse List archives can be found at: http://tinyurl.com/rcepw

So far I only have 10 -12 horses entered. If we don't get a whole lot in this week the Evaluation will be in trouble. If you want to have a horse Evaluated it better be sent in soon. The Turlock closing date isn't very far away either so if your thinking about coming to any of the Evaluations this is the time to send in your pre entries. If you for some reason didn't get a pre entry for any of the Evaluations & would like one let me know & I will send you one out.

We require this commitment from you to set our budget and to also get serious plans under way. Our original survey indicates a huge interest in this Evaluation and a first come first serve policy is in place to deal with registration.the pre-eval clinic in Spokane already committed well over half of the 50 spots available so there is no doubt that this Evaluation is going to be hugeplans are in the works to have Arne Presthus, a well respected judge from Norway, participate in this Eval and also offer an evening seminar so there will be lots of things happening. The PNFPG Libby Show follows on the weekend as part of Nordicfest...make your holiday plans now and don't miss out. I am happy to report that the Record Book is in the mail to those of you who ordered it...there is tons of good info in the book to get you excited about evaluations so read it carefully (I'm going to duck out of the country for a few weeks so save your kudos till we get back). Thanks to Sandy for getting it into the mail in such a timely fashionAll of us on the committee are excited to hear what you think of the book and hope it will be met favourably as it has taken up the most part of a year to put together by VOLUNTEERS...( a great bunch of gals) Congrats to all the new babies out therewe are waiting anxiously for one mare to come in BEFORE we leave for Norway...she is actually due on the day we leave but has a history of early births.(ha)!!

Libby Evaluation 2001 (and other stuff)
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Will the person in charge of giving out information for the Libby 2001 Evaluation, please contact me. What are the opinions of those more experienced than I on: Taking a 10 year old broodmare to the evaluation for conformation only, ( She rides okay, gets down right panicky about driving, do to abuse from unknown owners in her youth she is kinda unpredictable on her performances). The only reason I would consider taking her is that even with her past abuse, she has the greatest personality and her foals, so far, have turned out to be excellent horses. She will never be well known for her abilities, i thought this a better way to market her foals? What do you think? Also I will have two weanlings (5mths old) by then and wonder the advantage to taking a horse that young? Thanks for your input. I have really learned alot on the list over the last few months, good and bad! Oh you might want to add Mandy Noonan, (15) our daughter, to the age list, she is the main horse person here and deserves most of the credit for the wonderful Libby showing we had!! She actually did odd jobs all summer to help pay for the entry fees!! What a Gal Her mom Michele Noonan
