Our Show day dawned as a breezey beautiful sunny day that climbed slowly up into the 80-low 90's. All ended on a high note, but…. there were some big glitches..
First Glitch; The Fairgrounds this year was under new management, they argued for weeks about the Insurance form, did not have any grounds crew working on Wednesday our set up day, and then they Promptly locked the gates at 5:00 Pm. With some serious discussion our liaison finally provided one of us with the gate combo so we could get trailers in.
The next glitch came later that same day……
Champion 1st Premie Ster/Provisional Crown, Mare Champion and Best of the Show.

The Judges and Runner were supposed to arrive on the same flight from the Oregon Keur at 5:30 PM
However the runners having been driven separately to the airport from the OR inspection missed their flight, and had to take a later flight not arriving until 9:00 PM ! This made for a very long day in which the runners and the judges did not arrive until 12:30 Pm to the hotel. !
The 3rd glitch was also provided to us by the fairgrounds. Apparently they did not tell any of the grounds crew what the work orders were for that day. We had planned to start our Inspection at 9pm since we had about ˝ the number of horses this year. We fully expected to have the arena watered, flattened, sound systems, extra fencing etc to all be set up between 6-7am. But we had to go and find the grounds crew because no one showed up. They finally got finished with the arena and fences etc. probably 5 minutes before our show started and they sound man did not arrive until we were already on or 5th horse!!
However our northern CA horses did very well, Mr. Jan Hendricks commented several times on how good the quality of horses was this year. Both judges seemed in good spirits and we thank them for coming.
We had 26 horses shown out of the 14 mares shown for studbook and Ster plus 4 repeats, we had an incredible 6 star mares, including one that made provisional crown. We also had four 3rd premie's and only 4 that were simply awarded Studbook two of those because they were two short.
Another little surprise was that apparently unbeknownst to us and perhaps FHANA? Was that the height requirements have all gone up and horses must now be 154 cm to be in the studbook and 156 cm to make ster ( used to be 150 for studbook and 155 for ster).
new this year the Judges measured the 3+ yr old horses going for Studbook and Ster PRIOR to the class. I think, this was a much kinder way to proceed as in this instance the two horses that were measured as too short for Ster the owners already undersood that they would not be considered. In past year I have found owner to be very dissapointed for their horse to get Ster only to have it taken away after the measuring.
The runners this year were wonderful, very friendly and very professional in their conduct and the handling of the horses, the owners all seemed very happy with them.
Our Inspection ended in the early afternoon at 1:30 the runners were able to take showers , while the judges relaxed in the shade, then they all jumped in the car with Cally Matherly who was driving them to the next inspection at Hanford….
So another year's inspection completed. Next year is our 10th year hosting an inspection…. We might have to do something to celebrate! Thank you all who helped.
Sincerely, Melissa Fischbach
President, CCFC
