Thank you for a well thought out post Michael. I will forward it to the BOD so they can all read it too. I will comment on a couple of the things you said but not all.
This is a special breed of horse
No argument with that one! ;-)
Is education enough? In my opinion, no. That's why there is currently a requirement (a "rule" if you will) in the NFHA (if I understand a recent post correctly) for vet certifications to accompany stallion reports.
Not exactly Michael. That is what started the whole Teeth & Testicles thread. Currently the Vet Certificate is only required to 1. have your horse (any sex) Evaluated & 2. to have your stallion listed in the Fjord Herald Stallion list.
That's why there's a NFHA rule (again, if I understand a recent post correctly) of not registering any of a stallion's foals if its bred to another breed of horse.
This is very true. In fact the stallion can lose his registration completely for it.
What more can the NFHA do? I think that's for the directors to decide. If requiring a certification for teeth and testicles helps, I think they should require it. But with some creative thinking, I hope they can do more.
That very topic is on the agenda for the next BOD meeting right now. Mike ======================================================= Norwegian Fjord Horse Registry Mike May, Registrar Voice 716-872-4114 FAX 716-787-0497 http://www.nfhr.com mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
