Hi List
Just an update on the PA Horse Expo - Harrisburg PA,
that we were a part of last weekend. Curt, the ever
patient, was there early Thurs, set up the booth,
washed all 3 Fjords (I said, don't let them take off
their blankets in public till they get clean!) and did
everything. We had a successful Fri/Sat/Sun, crowds
were large, completely filling all the aisles alot on
Sat. He did a 3 min riding demo with Ulend (4 year
old stallion) each day with appropriate script and
music. i did a 10 min driving demo on Sat and Sun
with the pair of geldings (5 yr old Solvar and 5 yr
old Tobyn). We had SUPER help from Fjord friends (old
and new) Joe Glick from Denver, PA, Debi Williams from
Waterford PA, Martie and John Bolinski from Northeast
MD, John Herr and Diane Singley from Catawissa PA, and
Debbie and Charles Todd from Jackson NJ. WHat a great
time we all had, the booth was more of a Fjord
promotion booth vs a single farm effort as we did not
think many breedings would result from this outing.
Ulend was great, he was very at home with his public
from the minute he got to the stall on the floor, Curt
had the door open almost all the time with lots of
folks (especially kids) invited in to touch and pat.
What a great rep he was, he did get tired tho, and we
substituted Solvar twice at the ends of the day, which
worked out well. We used up all the flyers and cards
we had, running out daily, seems kids collect cards in
that area, hopefully their parents will read them,
too! We had quite a few serious inquiries, maybe this
will move some folks toward some Fjords. Anyway, we
still have the trailer to clean out and could use some
warmer weather here. I am tired.

(where the Fjords left at home were disappointed!)
Side note: The only driving for the whole weekend
was a chariot with 2 Friesians and a 6-up of leopard
Appys with a stage coach. Both of these were ONLY in
the nite show. There was NO other driving (but me)
for 3 days. I was suprised.
