2008 Partners

Purpose

The Northeast Fjord Horse Association (NFHA) Partners Program is designed to encourage club members to promote and enjoy the Fjord horse breed in various activities. Points can be earned by attending competitions, public events, and everyday recreational use in the many disciplines members participate with their Fjord horses!

Points will be accumulated over a period of one year. The initial year starts January 1, 2008 and runs through August 1, 2008. Awards will be presented during the banquet at the NFHA Annual Horse Show. 

Eligibility

Horse: The horse must be owned by a current member of NFHA. The horse must be registered with the Norwegian Fjord Horse Registry or the Canadian Fjord Horse Registry.

Exhibitors: Exhibitors must either be a member of the horse owner's family, or sign the attached lease showing that they derived no monetary benefit from showing the horse. In addition, the lessee must be a current NFHA member.
