Everyone at the ranch went to this years stallion keuring in Visalia. At the start of the 70 day stallion testing there were 5 stallions then there was a evaluation about mid-way through the 70 days. After the evaluation 3 stallions dropped out, so at the stallion keuring this year there were only 2 stallions left. It was a great experience to all the people that went. FHANA did a great job in choosing Dr. willem Back to speak on many subjects about the Friesian Breed. The first day Dr. Back spoke about modern genetical tools and the opportunities for the friesian horse health. The second day of lectures were about functional requirements of the locomotor apparatus of the friesian horse now and in the future. Dr. Back was very informative, knowledgable and willing to answer any question that we had. There also was a day that we could go around and visit the local families and there beautiful ranchs. It was a nice treat to see how everyone had their barns set up. Thank you to all of those families that opened up your homes and ranches so everyone could come and take a farm tour.

For this years annual Christmas party we went to a little fabulous restaurant in Genoa, NV called LeFerme. Good Food, Great friends a lot of amazing memories!!!
