This message is from: "Dave Walter" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Just wanted to let the list know that 11 Fjords did a smashing job of representing the breed in Madison WI, last weekend. April 20-22. Those present with their horses were: Sherle, Walt and Rich Monheims, Tom & Ann Hans, Chet & Donna Thomas, Al & Lois Merrill, Joni Griffin, Pat Holland, Wanda Hase, Nyla Naniot and Patti Jo Walter. Others who helped with the booth were Janet Voeltz, Sophie and Howard Fielder and Rich's finance(sorry forgot your name again!) Oh, I probably shouldn't have started with names, if I missed anyone I am sorry. Most likely still brain dead from the long weekend. We had a team pulling a covered wagon, driven by Walt and Rich Monheim, Chet Thomas, Al Merrill and Tom Hans all drove single. Joni Griffin dressed up as a Viking woman, helmet, horns and blonde braided pig tails!! Patti Jo Walter wore a Norwegian Bunda, Pat Holland was in English show attire and all the western riders were in Norwegian capes. We were one good looking bunch.
Ann Hans bought enough material to decorate our stall, so we could all have matching stalls, red back drop with blue trim and she even had matching stall names for everyone. Not only were we very good looking in our carts and on our horses, but our stall and hospitality booth was impressive as well. I think I can say we all had a wonderful time, we got to know each other better, shared a lot of laughs and stories and just had a great time with our horses and each other. I enjoy our group of riders/drivers and am so happy to be a part of it all. Thank you everyone, you all did a great job! Can't wait to see what we come up with next year!!! It just keeps getting bigger and better. Patti Jo Walter Francis Creek Fjords Two Rivers, WI
