Well I haven't had time to brag for awhile so I thought I would now.
We went to the NY State Breeders show last Saturday in Syracuse NY.  It is a 

week long show with entries from almost any breed you can imagine.  Usually 
the
show days run from 7am til midnight at least!
Anyway a few years ago we convinced them to add some classes for us Fjord
owners.  I think the first year we went there were like 4 horses there.  This
year we had 18-20 horses show up.  We had some entries from Ontario Canada,
Vermont, NH, Mass, & Maine as well as NY.  We really had a good time with all
of these people.  They are all friends just getting together to have some 
n.
Malla & Niki took 1st in Western Pleasure (first year we had a western 
lass).
They took 2nd in English Pleasure (should have been first, the one that did 
get
first walked all the way down one side of the ring when she was supposed to 
e
cantering.  The judge never saw it though).  They also took 2nd in the "Fjord
crossrail" class.  Not too many people jump their fjords so they don't have a
real jumping class.
Some other news on Niki too.  She just started working at Kodak this last
monday.  It is a coop position for her college course in Environmental
Management.  She only has 1 more quarter of classes left now.  If she can do
all of her remaining coops at Kodak she will be all set to graduate a year 
from
now.
