Dear list, Craig and Laura of Mink Hollow here. Hope you are all having a
super day. We are trying to do the impossible and both compete, we are
wondering if anyone has any good ideas on trailers 4 horses, 3 4
wheelers, 1 2 wheeler, 1 ATV, to fit in one trailer, anyone stack like
Orville and Anita? We don't care much about lots of tack/dressing room. We
also travel with 2 navigators, one mom to babysit, 2 kids and ourselves. We
have seen alot of people using travel trailers to camp in and seperate
trailer for horses and Equipment. Any Creative Fjord people who could offer
suggestions. Love to hear your input. We had a really fun trip to
Gladstone, our first intermediate CDE. I was 2nd in Int. single pony and
Craig was 3rd in Int. pair pony. It was a learning experience for both of
us, moving up and the following Craig's pair Abby and Evita, had their
ECC vehicle lock the back brake and basically had been pulling the vehicle
like a sled, the poor dears! They made their times amazingly enough yet had
no usual go in the hazards, Craig and Russ did not know the brake was still
frozen till the end when they picked it up and tried to turn it. Those
Fjords do not give up!! I had a day that I truly needed a good navigator.
Niki May was riding with me luckily, I have a new horse I have been bringing
along , She did super, 1st in dressage and only knocked down one in cones (30
cm) but before the marathon she spooked over some water and sent herself up
the side of a bank before I could blink. She is athletic, so we tried to
send her up the bank but a tree blocked the vehicle. Niki was calm and
collected , together we backed her down the hill and made her go back over.
This set the tone for the day, she tried to exit a large water crossing by
jumping a barrier and once again Niki saved the day and helped lead her over.
Thanks Niki , really needed that Excellent horsemanship! Our last bit of
news is that SFAbigail will be the 9th recipient of the NFHR Registry of
Excellence award, a nice tribute to Holunder after his recent passing, she is
his daughter. We are off to Fair Hill International in Maryland shortly, any
Fjord List members be there?
