THE RESULTS OF THE 2008 CCFC HOSTED BREED INSPECTION



I have the results directly from the judges, Scroll down to view


    Hello All, well we survived and perhaps triumphed in our 8th year of hosting the kuering.( Despite having to have our show at a new facility that no one was familiar with that caused some initial disputes turmoil and drama) The actual day of the show went well. Our Judges were Sjouke DeGroot and Pieter Bergsma. The runners were; Berry Van der genugten, Jordy Engelman and Cristian Reitsema. The facility we used was Rapp Ranch located in Napa valley. The location was beautiful, the grounds were well cared for and the Manager Gloria Limon and her staff were very very helpful. This was biggest event that they had ever had at their facility and in order to provide stalls for everyone ( we had 12 more than we were initially allotted) they cleaned out stalls being used for tack rooms and feed rooms and moved out boarders horses for the day. We ended up using every one of the 42 stall they were able to provide. The arena was a lovely indoor, open at one end with Nike footing. Rapp Ranch provided stacked hay bale seating in the indoor for everyone and also cleaned all the stalls and feed everyone's horses! There was plenty of shade and all we could have wished for additionally was perhaps a cool breeze. 24 horses arrived between the hours of 7 -9am on Saturday morning; 5-6 Rapp Ranch Employees took over the chore of finding agreeable parking spaces for the multitude of trailers that arrived in groups of 1 to 10 at a time. We give them a 5 star rating.

Lunch and breakfast were provided by a local Napa club. Who barbecued yummy burgers etc. on site.

This year runners were pre paid for, we pre assigned all the stalls placed all the numbers in bags that were attached to the stalls along with the horses names owner info etc. and had everything pre paid on our end, there was no check in necessary. It made things go very smooth and for the first time in our history we were ready to go before the judges even arrived! We started at a lazy 9:30 and were finished by about 3:30 and we were all packed up, cleaned up, and out of there well before 5pm.

We had two glitches during the show, Initially we had no sound and the judges kindly and loudly spoke out their comments… finally an enterprising person from Rapp Ranch was able to get the system online so by a quarter of the way in we had a microphone for the judges to use. Our other glitch was a number mix up with the champion and reserve champion geldings getting switched, it was quickly resolved once the judge made the placement announcement into the microphone and the everyone realized that the horses had been lined up in the wrong order thereby receiving the wrong ribbons, not sure where or with who the mix up happened, but we apologize for this. Thank you to both parties who took the change gracefully.

The judges said the kuering was very well run, their only comment was they thought the facility was a bit of a long drive from their hotel (which they loved, and said they always wanted to stay there from now on) we of course agree with them, it just could not be helped this year.

Side note; I had dropped the judges off the day prior while I drove the hour out to Rapp Ranch to set up. So they had a short 'holiday' on Friday afternoon lounging at the pool, where they got sunburned Hence the comment Sjouke said about there being "some 'red ' people at the kuering," he was referring to himself!

All the exhibitors expressed satisfaction with the event. If someone had a question or concern it was promptly addressed. Communication this year was very good. Judges main Comments on the horses were "not enough power in the hind end", I spoke to them about this later to clarify and they said they wanted the horses to sit/tuck more in the hind end and step under themselves with the hind legs.

We had a fun Raffle , enthusiastically run by two daughters of CCFC member Shea Elledge. The raffle raised about $225.00 which will help to offset the Inspection costs. (I will have a listed of donators and contact information posted very soon. ) But thank you very much.
