This is just a reminder to everyone considering entering an NFHR Evaluation that the date for postmarked entries is June 1, 2011. With a long holiday weekend ahead of us, it's easy to miss deadlines. While you can enter after June 1, there is a $25 late fee charge. The entry packets and Evaluation Handbook is on the the NFHR web site. I know that Sophie posts here and she'll correct anything I say that is wrong. The Midwest evaluation will be held on July 19th following the Upper Midwest Fjord Breed Show (http://www.mwfhc.org/Events.htm) on July 16 - 18 at the Iowa Equestrian Center in Cedar Rapids. This is a one-day Evaluation with limited space. I understand it is filling up, so get those entries in if you want to participate. The Virginia Evaluation will be in our usual spot in Herndon, VA at Frying Pan Park. We're holding a 2 day Evaluation on July 14 - 15 to be followed by the Mid-Atlantic Small Draft Horse Festival (http://www.masdhf.com) on July 16 - 17. I always feel like I am speaking to the converted on this List, but it is important to support and attend Evaluations. It's a great way to learn about our marvelous breed. If you are new to evaluations and want more information, please contact the host committees for assistance. I know that Sophie, Samantha, Curt and I have walked many a first timer through an Evaluation. The one great thing about Fjords owners is that we'll help each other, so that when you are at an Evaluation, there is lots of assistance aimed toward getting the best out of your Fjord that day.
