I also will be there as I am taking care of the Starfire horses while Beth 
and Sandy are at the show. My friend Beth will be going with me, she is the new 
owner of Starfire Arend and I know she is looking forward to seeing her boy 
who is still at Starfire being trained. We will be going to the show one 
evening 
not yet sure which one.
On another note Ginny Cowles of Los Trigos has made a series of bronze 
figures of fjords, most include a child she calls Alice. They are really 
delightful 
and are on display at a Santa Fe gallery. For those of you who don't know 
Ginny she has about 14 fjords and breeds a couple of mares each year. Her 
stallion 
is King Gjestar II. Ginny is closer to 80 than 70 and still rides often on 
her ranch in the Pecos area of NM.
Holiday Greetings to all on the list.

Hi all,

Just to let you all know that my husband Jim (Halverson) and I will be
there.  Maybe we will see you there.  So far, I think we will be staying
until the 25th...have not got departure arrangements made yet.

We arrive on the Amtrak train in downtown Denver about 7:15 PM on the
20th.  The beauty of Amtrak is that one arrives downtown.  We are taking
the California Zephr.with a room booked.  We will stay in the
Marriot City Center hotel (a block from the station)  and take buses and
cabs to the stock show.  (A friend of mine who lives in Denver tells me
the car rental prices at that time of year are sky high because of the
demand for them by skiers and the bus schedules look pretty good to me
anyway.)

We have tickets to the dancing horses for Thursday the 22nd, and for the
Draft horse show the next night.  We may go to the rodeo on ensuing
nightswho knows.

If you want to stay at the Marriott City Center the cheapest
reservations are available thru a stock show special.  Go to the plan
your trip section of the national Western Stock Show site.and go
into the part where it shows Marriott as hotel sponsor of the show.
Attempt to book a reservation online.  It probably will not workbut
somewhere in there, there is a code that you can use when making the
reservation over the phone.  I think it was stch.  The room was $89.
Other places they seem to be double that.  It may be that this is a
lousy roomthat they reserve for these specials...but it is better
than I could find thru all the other sites...hotels.com and the
Marriott's own online site.  Apparently the Angus folks are staying
there too...with whom I would expect Fjord people to fit right in.

If you want to stay away from the center of the city the hotels are
cheaper.  I chose this because the transport to the show seemed easier.

Get your evening tickets soonthe best ones were already gone when I
reserved a week ago.

Hope to see you there.  If you want to know which section we are sitting
in for the show...e-mail me privately and I will dig out my reservation.

Hello Everyone,

The Evening of Dancing Horses at the National Western Stock Show is
going to be a little different this year.  It's going to be a story,
called There's Got to be a Pony acted out with a kind of equestrian
operatic feel.  The Norwegian Fjord Quadrille will be performing one act
in the program.  Here is a url to explain the program and, if your
interested, you can get to the National Western website to purchase
tickets online.

The dates for the evening performances are January 21st and 22nd, 2004.
We will be moving the horses into the National Western Events Center the
evening of Jan. 20th.

We, as usual, will be busy with preparations, but if you come to Denver
on those dates, do come by our stalls for a visit.  We'd love to see you
there!

Beth
