Before I would ever allow any of my animals to be entered in any country fair, I would be asking a ton of questions. The night after my daughter was crowned Queen at our Fair... I found our fair superintendent inside the stall of my daughters gelding. He had become frightened from the noise of a nearby event, and this super horse woman took it upon herself to halter him, tie his head up high and whip the h*ll out of him when he reacted from fright. Because of my speaking up about this incident I was basically thrown off of our fair board.
The fjord gelding we have is very sensitive and he could be destroyed emotionally from an incident like that. Before anyone enters any fair ... I would encourage them to look into the backgrounds of any and all volunteers. Just a quick question over the phone is not sufficient.
We can never be too cautious when it comes to our horses. joyce
