Usually Maren posts observations daily, but so far haven't seen anything. Anyone else have a contact who's there?

The ATA has a new, 30-yr. agreement w/the TK Verband and Maren's impressions of NMS crowd favorites and distinguished jumpers. Both stories now posted on TI.

No idea. Hopefully they'll be posted on the ATA website. If not, suspect the new agreement w/b in our annual meeting packet and detailed in the next issue of the newsletter.

Isn't it just fabulous that the changes were openly discussed with the active membership and voted upon. NOT!!! Hey, cannot wait to see what "the club" changed. Gee, I am SO sure that it is in My best interest as a small breeder... NOT. What does this association do for us other than publish a pretty magazine anyway?

Thankful to hear news of NMS.
But, is it just me or does it seem that you guys are suspecting the worst? 
First, having worked extensively on reviewing and revising the Corporate Regulations, revisions that were voted on and adopted by the membership last fall, I have to say I find nothing in them (old versions or current) that empower the Membership with ability to negotiate agreements with the Verband. That is a business function relegated to the Board of Directors.
Second, it is my understanding that several members of our Board, as well as Distinguished Members, worked long and hard (read "MANY hours invested over MANY months") and incurred significant personal expenses in negotiating, and traveling to negotiations, for the continuation of the ATA's exclusive licensing by the Verband for North America. Verband affiliation means something to me, as one member and a breeder, and I think the sentiments here are rather disrespectful.

No idea about the download. As to comments on the new agreement, I've moved that to a separate thread.
So, back to NMS News. I've heard several sales to U.S. and Canada. Anyone know the specific buyers?

Being that my german is crappy, and I am only getting sound off the live link (bloody gamers taking up the band width) do I understand that Iskander is the Champion?
If so huge grats Maren & Kerstin, Fontana - Syndikat!!

Congratulations! What a stamp of approval on your eye for a great horse. Sam is a great-looking gelding; I'm sure he'll have a great performance career.

Fontana-Syndikat is riding high! What a huge[/i] feather in the cap of this young syndicate. There are life-long breeders who've never achieved what Maren & Kerstin have in only a few years.
Iskander just proved what most of us already know: Maren has an [i]exceptional eye for quality horseflesh.
Way to go, little sister. I'm VERY proud.
