I'll be interested to see if this reply makes it to the list... You could do a driving/jumping routine like we did for Stock Show and our Expo. Make a jump on wheels, attach it to the back of a carriage and do a routine with ridden Fjords jumping the jump. We found, to be safe, that the carriage needed to stop so the ridden horses could jump safely, but the pattern can be smple with one rider leading the entire pattern, so less room for confusion. Our jump was a low, sturdy cross rail attached to the carriage with quick release shackles. Something for riders and drivers! ;-) Beth ------ Original Message ------ Received: 07:14 AM MDT, 07/29/2013 From: Therine Gudknecht <bgudkne...@frontier.com> To: "fjordhorse@angus.mystery.com" <fjordhorse@angus.mystery.com> Subject: Holding Interest of the Crowd This message is from: Therine Gudknecht <bgudkne...@frontier.com> ________________________________ Hi All, We attended a fantastic draft horse show yesterday in Jordan, Minnesota. There were 17 six horse hitches and 14 eight horse hitches. These are some of the top hitches in the country and it was awesome to see them all line up in the ring at the same time for placing in their class. Because it was a point show, the judge had to place all 17 six horse hitches. These big hitches are the first ones of each show day. So when they are finished, it takes quite a while to break down the large hitches and get ready for the next class. During that time, a lot of the crowd leaves and the show people are looking for a way to keep the crowd interested. We were asked if we would have any ideas of something that the Fjords could do during that time to keep the crowd there. Anyone have any suggestions or want to do anything with their Fjords during that time next year?
