Re: Rose parade. (was National Western Stock Show)
This message is from: Starfire Farm If I remember correctly, didn't you have to have your application into the Rose Parade organizers by June of the previous year? When I was talking with someone about our quadrille performing at a one-evening performance at the Del Mar show (The Night of the Horse, or something like that) it was going to cost around $3,500 - $5,000.00 (can't remember which) just to get our team there, using our own trucks/trailers. That didn't count food, stabling, etc., just getting there. So...anyone up for a sponsorship? ;-) Beth Karen McCarthy wrote: >This message is from: Karen McCarthy > >Back when I was doing alot more parades I seriously considered entering a >group of Fjords in the RP about 9 (?) years ago.

Re: Rose parade. (was National Western Stock Show)
This message is from: "Jo Wilgus" Years back I got online and researched the parade application. It was like 5 pages long. Who would not want FJORDS in their parade? I am NOT one for "cocktails" for my horse before ANY work. Beth and Sandy? well those 2 are capable of anything they choose to undertake. I have silver (real) on my saddle I never use. I ride in my Crates that is nice and light and liftable. If the committee saw a photo of Regn they would pay me to have her in the parade. LA Eq. Center is a wonderful facility. The city of Pasadena is nice, LA as a whole, in my opinion is a pit. Again this MY opinion only. Jo Wilgus Gavilan Hills, CA have a great day!!! > Date: Sun, 4 Oct 2009 20:30:42 -0800 Subject: Rose parade.

RE: Rose parade. (was National Western Stock Show)
This message is from: Karen McCarthy Back when I was doing alot more parades I seriously considered entering a group of Fjords in the RP about 9 (?) years ago. Someone in our group had an "in" w/ the RP commitee and so we applied. It is a very rigorous undertaking. You don't 'just enter'. You have to do a pre-application to get through the door, then you are sent a binder that must be completed listing every rider/horse with accomplishments & photos down to the nth detail - they even wanted to know if the silver on the show saddles was sterling or plate! Well, when one of our group decided to bail on us, we sort of lost momentum in finding a replacement, and we didn't send in the final app. I think I still have the binder floating around somewhere... Yes, you DO have to be prepared to park your rig on a closed off section of freeway late the night before, and you you also have to agree to have your horse evaluated by the RP vets before embarking on the 5 mile parade route. If they deem your horse needs it, you HAVE to accept them administering a 'cocktail', or abandon the parade. It is also a requirement now that you also participate in the Equine Festival before the parade, and I think this is now a big affair, and may take place days before the parade, thus be prepared to be in LA for quite awhile. I believe they stable and hold the pre-parade doings at the LA Eq. Center. Can't remeber if you needed to pay for boarding, but I would assume so. I'd be up for doing the parade, but only if i didn't have to drive in LA, and if the rig used to park the night b4 was a LQ ;~) :: Karen McCarthy :: Great Basin Fjords :: Madras, Oregon :: http://www.picturetrail.com/weegees > Date: Sun, 4 Oct 2009 20:30:42 -0800 > Subject: Rose parade.
