GREAT LAKES FRIESIAN HORSE ASSOCIATION

Meetings, Clinics & Events of 2012

MEMBERS: Please keep us informed of upcoming events.  We would like to list any event where our Friesians can be seen and our members can meet.   The bold events will be club events.  Underlined events take place in the Netherlands.  Other listings will be on an individual basis and/or have not been organized as a club event (yet).  This list will be forwarded to the FHANA; some of it to be incorporated in the CLUB EVENTS DATES in THE FRIESIAN.  If you have any questions about these events please contact Heidi Smith at heidi@wctc.net  Suggestions for our club events are always welcome!
