MESSAGE FROM THE EVALUATION COMMITTEE
Hello NFHR Members, it's Rebecca, your friendly Chair of the Evaluation Committee.
First and foremost, I want to apologize for not posting any updates or having an recent meetings, that is a failure on my part. I've been dealing with some medical stuff and was struggling for a bit trying to hold it all together. That's no excuse, but I want to be transparent with you.
Even though I have been silent, I have still been working and planning for a 2026 Evaluation. After reviewing the 2024 Annual Report, I realized that the Midwest holds 36% of our registered Fjord horses and so it is with that knowledge that I've been planning a 2026 Evaluation in the MIDWEST REGION. I have spoken with the Midwest Fjord Horse Club and learned most of the members in that region come from Wisconsin and Minnesota (which also has the #1 and #3 largest Fjord Population) so I'm looking at venues that are either in one of those states, or nearby.
I'm also going through the Evaluation Handbook and taking notes on how the program can be improved. We need more evaluators and I want to know what, if anything, can be done to increase the number. Ideally, I want the program to have at least one in every region. I've been looking at how other small registries are managing their programs and seeing if we can learn from them.
Please be assured that I am as dedicated today as I was when I joined the board in seeing this program revived and having consistently held evaluations. As someone who plans on breeding Fjord horses, I have a vested interest in this program succeeding.
I hope this has answered any questions the membership has had and if you have any others, please reach out to me either here on Facebook or at Rebecca@nfhr.com.
There will be an Evaluation Committee Meeting June 30th at 8PM EST (if our West Coast and Midwest members need a later time, I can push the time back to 9 or 10PM, this is for ya'll so I want you to attend). The Zoom information for this meeting can be found on our calendar page, [ click here ] to access that page.
If you've had questions, are thinking about having your horse evaluated, want to get involved in the registry, or live in the Midwest, I beg you to reach out and attend. I'm located in the East Coast and have never been to the Midwest (except for bootcamp), so help will be needed.
Again, I offer my sincerest apologies for not being proactive and keeping you, the membership informed.
Rebecca Wilhite
FROM THE YOUTH COMMITTEE
Youth Membership is back!
Hello all! Recently my friends and I were brainstorming about how to get our kids interested in horses. She told me all about how the NFHR used to have a great youth program and how it had fizzled out over the years. I did some digging and decided to ask the board for their approval in reinstating our NFHR youth membership, and they loved the idea!
Each youth member must be under the age of 18. Every youth membership is only $15 and each kid gets a free wristband with our breed logo with their membership. The idea is to switch the color every year so the kids can keep collecting! Being a youth member means being eligible for our new youth award too! Please visit the NFHR website and on the left hand side go to "join/renew membership", then scroll down almost to the bottom of the membership list. Pick "youth membership" and go through the checkout process and you've got your kiddo a youth membership. We are so excited to have these back and encourage the kids of the NFHR to get involved with their horses!
