MN Expo was Great! I made the voyage from 4+ hours north to be there Friday and Saturday just to see the Fjords. It was such a nice group of people showing a nice variety of Fjords (stout to svelt, all 3 genders, tiny baby to been-there-done-that) doing a wide variety of disciplines (trail riding, western pleasure, english, dressage, training cart, meadowbrook, team)! I was very warmly welcomed by the whole group of Fjord people, they all were genuinely lovely and welcoming to me, a virtual stranger. I was allowed to help out & truly felt useful. I was awed by the nerves of steel of this group... I've attended many an Expo & many a horse show... but never with the eyes of one moving horses through a mass of people like this! OMG! Every Last Nerve was Standing At Attention as I watched & tried to contribute to moving these horses safely through baby strollers, toddlers, golf carts, rodeo cows, dollies full of metal chairs, other horses dancing away from people in flip-flops... My hat is off to the brave and steady souls who pulled this off with finesse, class, and nerves of absolute steel! You were amazing and your horses were out of this world! Hats off to you. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Interest Rates NEAR 39yr LOWS! $430,000 Mortgage for $1,299/mo - Calculate new payment The FjordHorse List archives can be found at: http://tinyurl.com/rcepw
