Margaret and Tulie Place 7th in the Versatile Horse and Rider Competition!

Out of 30 riders, Margaret and Tulie placed 8th in the first rounds which qualified them to ride and compete for a placing in the top 10. Margaret and Tulie competed against top trainers and horses with resumes longer than Tulie is tall. They placed 7th overall and received commendable compliments from Mr. John Lyons himself about their teamwork and riding style. Congratulations!

Angela and Frits place 16th in the Versatile Horse and Rider Competition.

Frits was not as big a fan of the place as Tulie. It was his first year and had a bit of the jitters in the ring, however, held his composure and had a successful run in that they did not disqualify. They placed 16th which, for his nervousness, was a very commendable placing. They'll give it another whirl in a few years.

Julia Horton, Madison Moynihan, and OH Tiana present the Fjord breed in the Youth Pavilion.

Julia Horton did a fabulous speech on Friday in the youth pavilion about the Fjord breed while Madison showed Tiana off to the crowd. After Julia's talk the two girls and Tiana visited the crowd to answer questions and let the crowd pet her "cool" mane!

9 Fjords and Riders/Drivers put on a fabulous demonstration of the Fjord

Members of Blue Heron Farm Margaret Williams riding LFF Tulie, Eleanor Williams riding OH Tiana, Bill and Norma Coli leading BHF Toska and BHF Espin, members of Red Rock Farm Madison Moynihan riding CNFF Anita, Jordan Medeiros riding BNF Jera, Megan Bankert riding Solveig 1, Angela Young riding Frits, and Kay Konove driving Sonya presented the many talents of the Fjord. The theme of the demo was “there’s a Fjord for that,” after the new phrase of “there’s an Ap for that.”
