In my aimless musings =)) I happened to think of how wonderful it >would be
if a conformation/evaluation educational video could be made >for the

Ruthie,
Don't discount those "aimless musings", they actually might go somewhere!
Actually, I was thinking about the Evaluations the other day,(while dragging
the pastures!) I was trying to figure out a way to A) make them more
economic for people that had more than a couple of horses to show, and B)
more accessable, by possibly tying in with an established fjord show....and
this is what I came up with:
What about offering a couple of the performance tests as classes at a fjord
show ?
For example, offer the beginning draft test. If the horse allready had a
qualifying conformation score, and it recieved a good test score, then it
could go into it's overall score. Of course the judge for the show would
have to be qualified as a NFHR Eval. judge. So, you are all wondering, what
about a second judge? Well how about having a pre-qualified Learner judge as
#2 Judge?
Even if this were to never gain approval w/ the NFHR, what about the various
shows offering a couple of performance tests to help get people & horses
acquainted with the system? I am going to try to do this at next years
Turlock show.
If anyone has anymore brillant ideas, pro or con, let me know...
