Thank you to all the Show Committee, Taffy Mercer (excellent
commentary), Judge Hipsley (excellent acumen), the Danish dignitaries,
Kristin Rory Miller and ALL who worked and participated to make Moses
Lake a fun, safe and rewarding experience. It was wonderful to have the
dignitaries there and visit with Birgit again. The clinics were very
educational and quite valuable. Nothing gave me goose bumps more than
witnessing owners/handlers take their horses into the ring to present to
Judge Hipsley, or entering the dressage court, or trail class and giving
it their all. Not to mention the suave turn outs by all the veteran
drivers in attendance (you know who you are ladies
gentleman).Brian with his team are gorgeous and Karen driving
riding her young mare for the versatility award and then pulling 16 foot
timbers in the log skid!! So cool! Anne on Misha performing the
vaulting team were fun to watch. Ursula, like a little kid, cruising
back and forth on her bike to the indoor arena made me giggle.
Who needs cable or satellite TV with entertainment like this!
The Grant County fairgrounds are very conducive for showing and I just
hope next year they bring back the landscaping a bit and scrub the
women's' bathroom showers..and get the PA system out by the barns
working. :-)
Congratulations to Jim Judy Jeude of Bridgeport CA, their son Jeff and
his family from Montana, who won the Kelsi Cook Family Fjord Horse Award
on JJ's Gunnar! It was wonderful to see a family enjoying the show
together with Gunnar. What a lovely sentiment by the Cook family and
homage to their daughter.
The long haul from Nevada (close to 14 hours) was worth it and I am so
proud of my 4 year old mare, Alena.
Maybe next year I can exhibit at Moses and Libby and present my young
gelding as well. We shall see! Special thanks to Karen of Great Basin
Fjords Sandy for their support and laughter.
Until then, be well and do good work.
