YES or NO ? A one-word answer from me---surely you jest! ;-) MAYBE It depends on which magazines, how much it'll cost, what other projects have to go on hold to pay for it, etc. So far, the only magazine I've heard proposed was one that served only a few states in one corner of the country. Last time I looked, there were 50 states, spread across a very big country. Taking money from all members, to serve only part of them is NOT an acceptable idea. At a minimum, the proposal would have to be amended to specify either magazine(s) with national distribution, or a combination of magazines that achieved complete national coverage. Print ads are expensive, and they're a one-shot---you pay the money, the ad gets printed, but when the reader has turned the page and tossed the magazine, the money is gone. The costs for a video are mostly up front, in producing it. Once it exists, it can be copied and distributed fairly cheaply. The video can then be run in all of the smaller, local equine expos. It can play on TV. It can be shown to horse clubs including 4-H. IMHO, if we must choose, that would be a better use for the money. Looking back at how I got into Fjords---first, I saw one at a CDE. The real live animal piqued my interest, so when I later saw an article about them in EQUUS, I read it carefully. (Note that it wasn't a splashy picture spread, just one photo, with lots of meaningful text.) I wrote to the organization that was mentioned at the end of the article (NFA---you have to realize that this was 1986!), got a list of breeders, and started writing letters. Would an ad have done much for me at that point? Probably not. I tend to not even glance at what are obviously ads in a magazine!

The NFHR and Breed Promotion
This message is from: "Cheryl Beillard" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I have been really encouraged by everyone who has spoken out in support of Carol's original comments, in favour of more advertizing by the NFHR in major all breed magazines. In addition to overseeing the Registry and developing the Evaluation Program, a major committment to breed promotion on a professional level in major publications would benefit all of us. I was somewhat perplexed by the apparent lack of interest in taking this step in the past, and would like to know why the ideas put forward by Ursula and others didn't find a warmer reception? However, before I go further, let me first say, that my own efforts to have the NFHR promote membership and breed standards and support the Ontario Show were successful, thank you Alan and other Board members who approved my request for sponsorship. The NFHR paid for a full page in the Program ($100) -- but I gave them two! Having the NFHR appear in the Program was important to me, not only as help in covering costs, but also in meeting one of my main objectives which was to get more information out there, among the sizable community of fjord owners (and breeders) in this province -- about the existence of the Registry and benefits of membership in an association which is not only committed to maintaining the breed standard, but continental, in scope. But I agree with Carol and Ursula and Hope and others that we could clearly do much more, particularly given the range of achievements our membership can boast from coast to coast and on both sides of the border. And particularly with Carol's last comment that small ads are lost amidst the big, splashy full-page or multiple page ads in the commercially produced magazines like The Horse or Horse Illustrated or Horse and Country, in Canada. Few of us have the bucks to promote individually in these very popular source books, but think of the impact we could have collectively, if we set aside some of the budget to advertize REGULARLY in a few selected magazines with full or double page ads! Small cost for a big return. Who reads the Herald who doesn't already have a fjord? Breed shows are wonderful, for those already involved, and they do attract some newcomers, of course, but the MARKET and the great unwashed are out there, reading the all breed publications. Not everyone is seeking to sell horses, but I'm sure we all take pride in our horses and would like to see a greater appreciation of what the fjord horse can do among the general horse community. By having at least a full page, colour ad appear regularly in one or more major horse publication we would be 'imprinting' positive images on the minds of readers. People would come to be familiar with the existence of the breed, and accept that there are different types of fjords for different purposes, and that some individuals are competitive at the top levels in every discipline. It would happen almost by osmosis. And if we had a GOOD video which showed a wide range of horses from different parts of the country, in different types of hitches, and multiple disciplines, I am sure that people who were tinkering with the idea of a fjord, would buy it first, as long as it wasn't overpriced. And that would help recoup costs. Again, few of us have the money to do this alone and it seems to that promoting the breed as a whole (and it could be done without attribution for any of the horses shown), is part of the mandate of the NFHR. The idea of soliciting pictures (or having them commissioned) from members of their best horses, showing them performing in as many different disciplines as possible, in as many different parts of the country and at different seasons, to use in all breed magazines is a great idea. I am not clear, at this point, how much of the fairly substantial amounts of money we have in the chequing account is earmarked for other purposes, but at last count, I think it was something approaching $30, 000 -- and surely some of that could, and should, be dedicated to developing a really good composite ad that could be used in many different publications, and perhaps sold or given out as a poster at all breed events and fjord shows. I like the current brochure and even if you were to use some of those photos, with less text, you'd have an eyecatching ad that would demonstrate the versatility of the breed. I am sure that several thousand dollars would permit us to place the same ad in several top magazines (we can argue about which!) throughout the year. SO .. WHERE DO NFHR MEMBERS STAND ON THE QUESTION OF ADVERTISING IN BIG PUBLICATIONS? I am sure there are many people on the List who just want to enjoy their own horses, and use the List as a source of help for questions on care, feeding, training, etc. But it also seems to be the only mechanism whereby NFHR memb

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I think there are registries out there (mainly European - the Dutch Warmbloods come to mind) that require that a mare be proven to be able to become pregnant and carry a foal prior to being reproduced by embroy transfer? So, they're breeding the mares at around 4 years of age to prove their ability to carry a foal to full term. Then, if the mare is doing well in competition, they breed the mare, then flush the embryo from the mare and have a surrogate mare continue the pregnancy, so the donor mare can continue in competition. I don't know if any North American registries require this. > I'm really sick of hearing about how the NFHR is a "young registry", and > they have to "crawl before they can walk", etc. Yes, they are fairly > young.

The NFHR, in my opinion, has made great strides in the past few years. It's certainly come a long way from when we first became involved, and certainly from when you were first involved, Carol, don't you think? But it is still an organization run by people, and people require time to understand and digest an issue. Something that may seem simple and easy to fix in your point of view might not appear so easy to another. It takes discussion about the little details of "how to", even when there are examples from other sources. Sometimes that takes more time than it seems necessary, but that's reality. On top of it all, the BOD meets once per month and subjects have to be "triaged" or they would be on the phone all night and into the next day. That would be asking a lot of your volunteers. > Take the Netherlands Fjordhorse Studbook, for example. They do a great > job, and they're not anywhere near as old as you might imagine. 45 years > as opposed to the NFHR's 20 years. I think the Netherlands had some cultural, historical, organizational/governmental subsidization which may have affected their interest and success in having a stud book. Not just in Fjords, but in other breeds as well. If I understand our history correctly, 20 years ago Fjord people were still splitting off and starting their own registries because they disagreed on the particulars. Can't keep an accurate studbook under those conditions, eh? Not to mention that some of the "stud books" that were kept have turned out not to be accurate? The NFHR is still trying to reconcile with the NFA (or which one was it?) It would be great to consolidate those records, and the NFHR has the database and the manpower to absorb all of that new data, but (this is just my guess) the "people process" has broken once again. Just an example. My point is, in this day of instant gratification and instant communication, some things still take some time. How about if we give it to them?

That's a wonderful feature! I just love it. I typed in one word, "Teal" and up popped her pedigree! But I may not have the hang of it yet as tried all the data with our stallion Thorson, even the number, and nothing materialized? Maybe should have tried ONE word there too =) I know he's in there! The best way I have found is to use your last name in the owner field. Then it will bring up all of the horses you own. I found 2 stallions for you.

Only I can add extra pedigree's I am afraid. This is actually a copy of the info in the NFHR database you are looking at. I will add pedigree's if you wish but I will need a copy of their official papers. I already have a link to the CFHA on the Links page. If a horse has pictures uploaded they will show a little camera icon to the left of the horses name in the list of horses. Try putting in Albrough or May for the name of the owner and then hit search. You will see a couple of horses with the camera next to them. Since this only went online today there are only a couple of horses that have pictures yet. If you want the password to upload pictures for yours send me an email requesting a password. Just some ideasbut it is great the way it is! Glad you like it. I also forgot in my original message to ask everyone to check all of their horses for any mistakes that might be in the database. Look them over check for color, sire, dam, correct owners/breeders names, sex, microchip numbers, tattoo's, brands etc. If you find any mistakes let me know and I will correct them.

**** New on the NFHR Web Site ****
This message is from: Mike May <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I am very happy to announce that the new Pedigree Lookup feature is now up and running on the NFHR Web Site. Thanks go to our Education Committee member Lori Albrough of Capable Computing for the design of this new system. She put in an awful lot of hours on this as you will see when you try it out. Please take a moment of your time to go and check it out. I think you will all be interested in some of the things you will be able to look up with it. Here is the URL to it, or you can get it right from the main www.nfhr.com page: http://www.nfhr.com/ponyweb/ Just type in a horses name or part of it and hit begin search. You can put in lots of other requests to it also. Like if you want to know which stallions are in your state or province then put in your state/prov & pick stallion under the gender. If you want a certain color stallion you can put in the color you want also. If you want to see the horse after you get the list of them just click on the horses name. It will bring up another screen with all of the horses info on it including a 5 generation pedigree. You can then click on any of the horses in the pedigree & get their info & a 5 generation pedigree on them. There is also a picture upload feature. If the owner of the horse would like to upload a picture of his/her horse they can do that. You can upload up to 3 pictures. Just click on the upload picture link. You will need a password to do it though. If you want a password you can request one from me from the upload screen. So try it out and let me & Lori know what you think of it please. Mail can be sent to Lori's address from the "Capable Computing link also on the opening Ponyweb screen. Enjoy!
What do we get for joining the NFHR?
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] We need to talk about this subject again. Promoting the Fjord horse in a positive way. And a lot of help (or money to be used by the NFHR) to make pamphlets that we can give free to interested people. I am always trying to get new members in our Reg. They ask the old question "what do we get for joining"? When we joined we got nothing. Then I brought up the question, Is there a rule book? Answer no, but one is in the making. I asked can we get something to show we belong to NFHR. I mentioned a decal for our pickup or some to put on our trailer. Well, there was a small decal made and I think everyone got one? We have asked to be given some information on up and coming evaluations. What about them? Where are they to be? Are we all going to have to go to Blue Earth? That's a long way to some of us. Will the Northwest and southwest people have a place to have their horses evaluated? I ask these questions and hope for some answers. Please. (I am flame retarted).Think about this note and ask your questions on these subjects. I am proud to give interested people who stop in all I have printed and made flyers of on. The subject of the Fjord horse. I have also taken them with me everywhere I go, To give out, free to promote these animals.
